NFL Playoff League Running Back Rankings for Fantasy Football: Gus Edwards, Jahmyr Gibbs, James Cook, David Montgomery, more

Gus Edwards - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Our updated 2024 NFL Playoff League fantasy football running back rankings. Set winning lineups with our fantasy football running back rankings geared towards NFL postseason contests.

The NFL regular season may be over, but fantasy football does not need to be. Fantasy football playoff contests kick off this week, and here at RotoBaller, we've got you covered with our 2024 fantasy football playoff league running back rankings to help you make the best decisions for your playoff league rosters. Below is where key running backs such as Gus EdwardsJahmyr GibbsJames Cook, and David Montgomery rank for the playoffs.

Our fantasy football playoff rankings below are geared toward playoff league formats and take into account how far we think each team will get in the NFL playoffs. In most leagues, you can choose just one player from each NFL team for your roster. It's just like seasonal leagues but drafting a playoff roster. For example, if you select Christian McCaffrey as one of your RBs, you cannot use Deebo SamuelBrandon AiyukGeorge Kittle, or Brock Purdy. The goal is to choose the best combination of players who will play the most games (i.e., who will make it to the Super Bowl) and score the most points.

In addition to our playoff league rankings, below you will find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always vital injury situations to keep track of, so check back until kickoff. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Join A Playoff League Contest

Playoff leagues are a fun way to kick off a fresh new fantasy football contest for the 2024 NFL postseason. Most of us have been left with a void and that weekly excitement with season-long fantasy football leagues all wrapped up. There will be DFS contests throughout the Super Bowl, but playoff league formats are fun and replicate that season-long feel.

Most of these contests will require you to choose only a single player from each NFL team and to fill out a certain amount of roster spots at each position. There are many different contests out there, but our friends at FFPC hold their awesome Playoff Challenge tournament with a $500K grand prize to the first-place winner.
