Although most fantasy managers stop playing fantasy football in the regular season, there are multiple fantasy football playoff options, including Fantasy Life’s Guillotine Leagues and DFS options. Here are the top players available at each position for Divisional Weekend. It is essential to note that these rankings are for this weekend only; they do not account for fantasy formats that benefit players who will play further down the line in the playoffs.
Fantasy Football Playoff Rankings: Divisional Weekend
Quarterbacks
| Rank | Player |
| 1 | Josh Allen |
| 2 | Matthew Stafford |
| 3 | Caleb Williams |
| 4 | Drake Maye |
| 5 | Brock Purdy |
| 6 | Bo Nix |
| 7 | Sam Darnold |
| 8 | C.J. Stroud |
- Allen was the top fantasy quarterback scorer in the Wild Card Weekend, as he rushed for two touchdowns to lead the Bills to victory over the Jaguars. Even against the tough Broncos defense, Allen is the number one quarterback in the divisional weekend fantasy football rankings. Last season in the playoffs, Allen went 20/26 with 272 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 46 rushing yards.
- Stafford and Williams will battle it out in Chicago in what will be a cold game. Stafford has historically struggled with bad weather, so he would be put to the test in this one. However, this is the best Stafford has been in years, so expect him to have a good game. This game has the highest over/under total of the week, so both come in as top three options.
Running Backs
| Rank | Player |
| 1 | Christian McCaffrey |
| 2 | James Cook |
| 3 | Kyren Williams |
| 4 | D’Andre Swift |
| 5 | Kenneth Walker III |
| 6 | RJ Harvey |
| 7 | Rhamondre Stevenson |
| 8 | TreVeyon Henderson |
| 9 | Woody Marks |
| 10 | Zach Charbonnet |
- McCaffrey put up almost 30 fantasy points in the Wild Card victory over the Eagles. He only 3.2 yards per carry on the ground, but caught six passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He struggled against the Seahawks in Week 18, but he is still the top running back to have in fantasy.
- The Bills defense has struggled against the run this season, putting Harvey in a great smash spot this weekend.
- Stevenson had ten carries while Henderson had nine in the Wild Card victory on Sunday Night Football. This is a split backfield, making it hard to trust either player in fantasy formats.
Wide Receivers
| Rank | Player |
| 1 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba |
| 2 | Puka Nacua |
| 3 | Davante Adams |
| 4 | Courtland Sutton |
| 5 | Nico Collins* |
| 6 | Luther Burden III |
| 7 | Khalil Shakir |
| 8 | Stefon Diggs |
| 9 | Jauan Jennings |
| 10 | DJ Moore |
- Collins left the Wild Card game questionable with a concussion and is not practicing early in the week. This is not a good sign for his availability on Sunday.
- Jennings only caught one pass last week for 45 yards, but he threw a touchdown to CMC. With the injury to Kittle, expect Jennings to be more involved in the 49ers offense.

Tight Ends
| Rank | Player |
| 1 | Colston Loveland |
| 2 | Dalton Kincaid |
| 3 | Dalton Schultz |
| 4 | Tyler Higbee |
| 5 | Hunter Henry |
| 6 | AJ Barner |
| 7 | Jake Tonges |
| 8 | Evan Engram |
- Loveland had one of the greatest playoff games for a rookie tight end ever, catching eight of fifteen targets for 137 yards. He is clearly the top target for Williams. He ranks as the top tight end in fantasy football formats for the divisional weekend rankings.
