The end of the NFL regular season brings the end of the traditional fantasy season, but the NFL playoffs give us another chance to play fantasy before the eight-month off-season. Below, SI.com fantasy experts Michael Beller and Pat Fitzmaurice present their 2017 fantasy playoff rankings.
These rankings assume standard scoring (25 passing yards for a point 10 rushing/receiving yards for a point, four-point passing touchdowns, no PPR) and that teams are locked after a one-time draft, placing a premium on players from teams that are expected to go deep into the playoffs. A player’s skill level of course matters, but the number of games his team plays might be more important.
