Super Bowl LVIII Fantasy Football Rankings

With one more chance to win this season, here’s how the top 49ers and Chiefs players stack up.

The Super Bowl is here! In Sin City, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will battle for the coveted Lombardi Trophy! For those of you who still have that fantasy itch that needs to be scratched and are playing in postseason fantasy leagues or daily fantasy formats, here are my Super Bowl player rankings.

At quarterback, I have Patrick Mahomes ranked ahead of Brock Purdy despite the fact that the Niners signal-caller was better during the regular season. Christian McCaffrey isn’t just the best running back in my rankings, but he’s the best option regardless of position. Isiah Pacheco comes in second. At wide receiver, I’m going with Rashee Rice first ahead of Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, who come in at second and third, respectively. Travis Kelce is obviously the top tight end, especially since he has gotten hot in the postseason, while George Kittle is a close second.
