2015 Fantasy Football Playoff Rankings: Divisional Round

I am thrilled and slightly surprised to see how many playoff fantasy football leagues there are out there right now. The problem however is that there are so many different league setups out there which makes it difficult to handicap. So, I'll keep this real simple for everybody and just rank the top 50 players going this week.

These rankings take into account expected points and the value they present at their position. You'll also notice that defense/special teams and kickers are included in here as well. When you get to this point of the season every single point meas the world and thus you cannot overlook a kicker or DST if they are in position to bring you to the next round.

While we are at it here are my predictions for this weeks Divisional Round Playoff Games:

Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots (-7): Give me the Patriots as they blow out the Ravens in this matchup.

Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks (-11): This is a crazy big spread despite the Seahawks success at home. I am going to take the points because an inspired Cam Newton is someone who can will his team to win or at least cover.

Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers (-6): Not only do I take the Cowboys plus the points here I think they will win the game straight up. A power run game often travels far in the NFL Playoffs.

Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos (-7): I am really split on this one. Half of me expects Peyton Manning to get it together and the Broncos offense to light up the Colts. The other half recongizes that Andrew Luck is the next great QB in this league and his time begins now. Give me the Colts plus the points.

Here are my Top 50 for the NFL Divisional Playoff Round:
