Wild-Card Round Fantasy Football Rankings for Every Position in PPR Leagues

The 2025 fantasy football season might be over for the NFL regular season, but those diehards out there (like me) are getting prepared for postseason leagues! There are several types of playoff fantasy formats, but I'm focusing on one-and-done leagues. There is no draft in this sort of league, as each manager can start any player whose team is in the NFL playoffs. The caveat is that you can only start each player once.

This week's slate begins on Saturday, as the Rams face the Panthers (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Bears host the Packers (8 p.m. ET). There are three games on Sunday, including the Jaguars hosting the Bills (1 p.m. ET), the 49ers facing the Eagles (4:30 p.m. ET) and the Patriots hosting the Chargers (8 p.m. ET). The schedule concludes Monday with the Texans facing the Steelers.

So, here's a look at my 2025 wild-card round fantasy rankings. Enjoy!
