Drafts are already off and running and filling fast! But while playoff leagues are a fun way to keep the fantasy season going, they are slightly different than season-long leagues. For one, the player pool is limited to the 14 NFL playoff teams.
Secondly, there is a different strategy to consider. Namely predicting which teams are likely to make lengthy postseason runs into February. Also, each playoff fantasy league has different rules and scoring, which will alter your draft approach.
Finally, updated Fantasy Football Playoff Rankings are also important.
Now that we know who is in and who is out, here are my 2024 fantasy football playoff rankings.

NFL Playoff Preview: Divisional Round Betting & DFS Tips
We’re down to the elite eight of NFL teams still alive and in just over one week, we will know who is going to be playing in Super Bowl LVI. Before we get there, we have two games each on Saturday and Sunday to determine what four teams will advance to the Conference finals next Sunday. Let’s preview this weekend’s four games and see what we can expect from a fantasy football perspective. Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans Current line: Cincinnati +3.5; over/under 47.5 This will be the first postseason tilt for the Titans, the AFC’s top overall seed. The extra week of rest afforded to the team should allow star RB Derrick Henry to return, which is huge for the offense. In his eight games of action, Henry led all fantasy running backs with 23.4 fantasy points per game. D’Onta Foreman had done a tremendous job filling in and should stay involved as a change-of-pace option. QB Ryan Tannehill had a disappointing overall season but his numbers were vastly better when he had the luxury of playing with Herny, A.J. Brown, and Julio Jones. Cincinnati’s much-improved secondary allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts, but Brown remains an elite, but pricey DFS play. The Bengals will have a fairly significant edge through the air, where QB Joe Burrow threw for 4,611 yards and 34 touchdowns in 16 games. In the regular season, the Titans surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, so Burrow remains a strong play in Week 20. Only the Vikings allowed more fantasy points to wide receivers than the Titans, so expect another huge outing out of All-World rookie WR JaMarr Chase, who has gone for 116-plus receiving yards in three of his last four games. Opposite of Chase, Tee Higgins also has a tremendous matchup and is firmly in our top-10 weekly fantasy projections. Slot receiver Tyler Boyd and TE C.J. Uzomah should also be on the radar. Best Bet: OVER 47.5 San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers Current line: San Francisco +5.5; over/under 47.5 These two rivals had some storied postseason matchups in the mid-to-late 90s and the latest matchup should be just as exciting. Both squads have high-octane offenses and enough defensive playmakers to contest every yard. The biggest question is how will Kyle Shanahan‘s squad adjust to game time temperatures currently projected to be a frigid 9 degrees? Those kinds of conditions could impact the game immediately, as San Francisco QB Jimmy Garoppolo has never started a game where the temperature was below 40 degrees. The wind isn’t expected to be too much of a factor but Garoppolo is also dealing with a thumb injury that could further hamper San Francisco’s passing game in those conditions. Fortunately for the Niners, their offense is predicated on the rushing attack. Led by sixth-round rookie RB Elijah Mitchell, who has averaged 97 rushing yards per game over his past nine outings. In addition to Mitchell, WR Deebo Samuel has blossomed into a dangerous dual-threat option who doesn’t even need targets to make an impact on the field and in fantasy lineups. Expect Shanahan to challenge a Green Bay run defense that allowed the third-most yards per attempt in the regular season. Outside of Samuel, the only other relevant fantasy option in San Francisco’s passing attack is TE George Kittle, but Kittle has been held under 30 receiving yards in his last four games. The auxiliary wideouts in Shanahan’s attack are little more than boom-or-bust NFL DFS options that can be squeezed in cheaply. For the NFC’s top overall seed, this is a statement game for Matt LaFleur, who was in this same position a year ago but lost the NFC Championship at home to Tampa Bay after easily dispatching the Rams in the Divisional round. The adverse weather shouldn’t affect Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers at all. The Packers boast the league’s top wideout in Davante Adams and will be further reinforced by the return of slot receiver Randall Cobb. Green Bay also has two excellent running backs in Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon, who emerged during the season’s second half. While San Francisco’s defense was solid against the run and pass, they could be without elite pass-rusher Nick Bosa. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s own stop unit should be bolstered by the return of LB Za’Darius Smith and CB Jaire Alexander. Best Bet: Green Bay -5.5 Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Current line: Los Angeles +3; over/under 48.5 This is a rematch of a Week 3 game played in LA in which the Rams prevailed over the Buccaneers 34-24. However, with this game taking place in Tampa, it will be a much more difficult task for Sean McVay and company to sweep Tom Brady, who has won an NFL-record nine consecutive games in the Divisional round. Speaking of Brady, he lit up a solid LA secondary in that September meeting. In that game, Brady threw for a season-high 432 yards and scored two total TDs. We can’t expect that kind of producing again against a Rams’ secondary that allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2021, but backing Brady in a revenge scenario is generally a solid strategy. Tampa Bay’s offense could also be bolstered by the return of RB Leonard Fournette, who has missed a month with a hamstring injury. Fournette can make an impact as both a runner and receiver and those pass-catching skills should benefit an offense that is thin at wideout. Mike Evans ranked 2nd among all wideouts with 14 touchdowns but failed to score in Week 3. He still managed to put up a solid 8/106/0 line in that matchup, however, so we’re expecting another strong performance against an excellent LA secondary. Tyler Johnson played only three fewer snaps than Evans last week but only had an 8.3% target share, the same as Breshad Perriman, who was in on less than half of Tampa’s snaps. With Perriman ruled out, Scotty Miller makes an appealing low-cost dart throw. Since losing Chris Godwin, Bruce Arians has called more ’12’ sets. Rob Gronkowski has been heavily-featured and remains an elite fantasy option this week. Keep Cameron Brate in mind as a
