Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

The 2020 fantasy football season is over - and from the dust of its brutal stampede through 16 weeks of injuries, surprises, and disappointments rises the fantasy post-season games that crop up around this time. We've discussed them at length on our podcast and if you have entered one or more of them this year in order to enjoy that last gasp of fantasy football before the final door closes, you'll need some help in formulating your squad. Here are my picks for the rest of the playoffs, going all the way up through the Super Bowl. Baked in are the specific team's chances (in my estimation) of making it to subsequent rounds. These rankings will continue change throughout the post-season, but please let their current state be a good baseline starting point for any remaining drafts you may have, and good luck to you!

Top guys to highlight? Derrick Henry, Chris Godwin, and Jared Cook. All of them on teams that I expect to win this week. Some sleeper candidates include Zack Moss, Emmanuel Sanders, and Robert Tonyan.

Pay attention to these rankings throughout the season, as they will continue to evolve based on the latest injury updates, news, and player analysis. Have any specific lineup questions? Feel free to tweet us @drinkfive with any of your questions or comments!

Take these rankings as a guide to help you make the big decisions in your fantasy playoff challenge this year! See the Expert Accuracy rankings at FantasyPros.com, this year (2022 season) I ended up as the #6 overall fantasy football expert in accuracy. 

In the majority of playoff challenge leagues there is only one draft at the beginning of the playoffs which will determine the guys that start 'Best Ball' style for the rest of the year and so your primary strategy should be to select high-ranking players from teams that you think will play the most amount of games in the post-season.
