Hopefully, many of you are coming off fantasy football regular-season titles. Whether you won or lost your traditional fantasy league, there are more ways to win! Below are our updated 2025 fantasy football playoff league rankings to help you make the best decisions for your playoff league rosters. You'll see where key options such as Lamar Jackson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and more rank for the NFL 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. For example, if you choose Saquon Barkley as one of your RBs, you cannot use Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, or Dallas Goedert. The goal is to choose the best combination of players that 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 also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injury situations to keep track of, so be sure to 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. For most of us, we've been left with a void and that weekly excitement with season-long fantasy football leagues all wrapped up. There will be DFS contests all through the Super Bowl, but playoff league formats are really 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 of course hold their awesome Playoff Challenge tournaments -- including one with a $500K grand prize to the first-place winner.
