NFL Fantasy Football Wild Card Playoffs: Wide receiver rankings

Strategy is of the utmost importance in all Fantasy Football leagues for the NFL Playoffs. This is mainly due to the extremely small pool of players to choose from. With only 14 NFL teams in the playoffs, including 12 competing in the Wild Card round, less than half of the available options exist in comparison to the traditional Fantasy Football league during the regular season.

Wide receivers are in the deepest position in Fantasy Football; they are affected the least by this reduced style. This doesn't mean strategy still isn't extremely important, as every lineup decision is magnified in this format. The length of the Fantasy Football season for the NFL Playoffs is extremely short. One wrong move could result in immediate elimination.

Quarterback changes can also play a major role in the output of wide receivers in Fantasy Football. Managers planning on using players from the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens should proceed with caution.

Tua Tagovailoa has officially been ruled out for the Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills, while Lamar Jackson is trending towards being a game-time decision for the Ravens against the Cincinnati Bengals. With Teddy Bridgewater and Tyler Huntley also dealing with injuries, Skylar Thompson and Anthony Brown are currently projected to be the starters for the Dolphins and Ravens, respectively.

The upcoming rankings could help managers make crucial lineup decisions in Fantasy Football this week. All of their unique situations, including quarterback changes and direct matchups, have been carefully taken into account.
