Conference Round Fantasy Football Rankings for Every Position in PPR Leagues

With four teams left, there isn’t much to choose from as fantasy starters, especially considering the absence of Bo Nix.

The 2025 NFL conference championship matchups are set: the Broncos will host the Patriots at Mile High, and the Rams will travel to Seattle to battle their NFC West rival, the Seahawks, for the third time this season.  

This week's slate begins on Sunday in Denver (3 p.m. ET, CBS) and finishes up in Seattle (6:30 p.m. ET, Fox) to determine who will play in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, Calif.

Obviously, we are down to the nitty-gritty in one-and-done fantasy postseason leagues. With only four teams left, there isn’t much to choose from as fantasy starters. When you also consider the absence of Bo Nix, leaving Jarrett Stidham to start for the Broncos, and suddenly, there could be even fewer reliable options. 

So, here's a look at my 2025 conference championship round fantasy rankings. Enjoy!
