Top 150 Overall Fantasy Football Rankings for the 2026 NFL Playoffs
We did it! Another fantasy football season in the books. We hope you did well, but either way, we have one more season to make some fake teams – the playoffs! As always, there are a plethora of playoff fantasy leagues out there. Of course, there are many different types of setups, but for these rankings we will be working on the “best ball” type of game, where you select a team for the Who playoffs and then let the chips fall where they may. So, with the Broncos and Seahawks as the No. 1 seeds, they don’t get Fantasy points in the first round, but they have home-field advantage and an extra week to recover. But, our top seeds this year aren’t as dominant as they were in the past, so their chances of being defeated sooner or later are also better. Let’s take a look at the odds below here, but we know how difficult picking the playoffs can be. Injuries and 2026 NFL Playoff NewsHerbert has taken a beating this season with injuries off the line for the Chargers, but was able to rest in Week 18. He should be ready to go to Foxboro on Sunday night. Love missed Week 17 with a concussion but was released before Week 18. But because the Packers were stuck at No. 7, they rested most of their starters. Love should be ready when they travel to Chicago on Saturday night for the Wild Card round. Purdy suffered a tough blow late in the Week 18 loss to the Seahawks. The good news is that he did not suffer a significant injury to his non-throwing shoulder. He should be able to face the Eagles on Sunday. Allen is dealing with a foot injury, but was able to rest in Week 18 and should be as healthy as possible when he travels to Jacksonville on Sunday. He probably won’t be 100%, but he has played well despite the injuries. Dobbins was placed on IR with a foot injury, but it appears his rehab is going well and he has a chance to play in the AFC Championship game if the Broncos make it. He probably isn’t worth drafting in most playoff leagues, but if you have deep benches he might be. Jordan was playing decently with Nick Chubb and Woody Marks dealing with injuries, but was forced out of the Week 18 game with an ankle injury. British Brooks did the most work behind Jordan, with Nick Chubb inactive. Marks is still the lead back, but whoever gets that backup job should see enough work to have some value in deeper playoff leagues. Odunze is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot, but was able to return to practice last week and earn a questionable assignment. We’ll need to keep an eye on his practices this week, but he at least has a chance to play against the Packers on Saturday. Adams returned to practice last week and received a questionable assignment as he was dealing with a hamstring injury. It seems like the team was being extra cautious with him so he would be ready for the playoffs. Coach Sean McVay also told reporters on Monday that he expects Adams to play. Pearsall received a questionable assignment, but was unable to play in Week 18 due to back and knee injuries. He was reportedly close to playing, so his chance of playing this week against the Eagles is decent. Dontayvion Wicks, PackersWicks is in concussion protocol but had an extra week due to the Packers resting in Week 18. His chances of being cleared should be good. It is difficult to know the severity of the injury, as the team could have been more cautious with him, as they already had a playoff spot guaranteed. But even if he can make the playoffs, Tyler Higbee’s return to the active roster will reduce his opportunities. Seattle Seahawks +420Los Angeles Rams +440Denver Broncos +650Philadelphia Eagles +850New England Patriots +1000Buffalo Bills +1000Houston Texans +1100Jacksonville Jaguars +1400Green Bay Packers +1700Chicago Bears +1900San Francisco 49ers +2500Los Angeles Chargers +3000Pittsburgh Steelers +6000Carolina Panthers +22500Odds favor the NFC’s No. 1 seed Seahawks. Taking a bye always increases your Super Bowl chances, as it should. But we see that the Rams are still second in the odds despite playing a wild card game on the road. They have a longer way to go, but it’s easy to see who Vegas considers the best team in the group and that team has Matthew Stafford at the helm. The AFC appears wide open, which helps the No. 1 Broncos, who don’t have to face any NFC West team unless they reach the Super Bowl. The Rams appear to be the better playoff team, while the Broncos have the easier path to the playoffs. My picks for the big game are the Rams vs. the Bills. So with both teams playing in the Wild Card round, they will maximize their possible games (4), while the Seahawks and Broncos would end up with one or two games played. Of course, if I’m wrong, these rankings are also very wrong. If you disagree with my picks, be sure to move up your Super Bowl players in the rankings.
