Wild Card Fantasy Football Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE)
The regular season is over, but you can still play in a postseason fantasy league! For those of you who still have that fantasy itch that needs to be scratched, here are my wild-card round player rankings. As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the wild-card edition of Start Em, Sit Em.
At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!
Among the running backs, Kyren Williams is at the top despite a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions. Isiah Pacheco should get a lot of burn in the icy cold conditions at Arrowhead Stadium, and I like Rachaad White against the Philadelphia Eagles. Their defense has gone down the tubes in recent weeks against backs.
At wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb tops the list with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Tyreek Hill has revenge in his sights against the Kansas City Chiefs, and both Puca Nacua and Cooper Kupp are top-10 options against the Lions defense.
At tight end, I have David Njoku ahead of Travis Kelce based on his recent totals and a matchup against the Houston Texans. Their defense has struggled against tight ends. I also like Dallas Goedert against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck this week!
