The final week of the regular season is upon us!
To all of you who are playing in their fantasy leagues this week, first … why? Second, you need to know which teams are playing for postseason berths and seeding, which teams will rest their starters, and which teams are just playing out the final week of the slate.
This all makes ranking players for this week very difficult.
So, let’s look at each conference … in the AFC, the Chiefs, Bill and Texans are locked into their playoff seeds and could (and likely will) rest their starters. The Ravens will clinch the NFC North and the No. 3 seed with a win over the Browns on Saturday afternoon. If they do win, the Steelers would then have nothing to play for later that night against the Bengals. They would be a Wild Card team with no chance to win their division in that scenario.
The Chargers have earned a postseason berth, while the Bengals, Broncos, and Dolphins can still earn a berth. So, you’re pretty safe playing these teams in your fantasy leagues.
Every other team in the conference is just playing out the schedule.
In the NFC, the Lions, Eagles, and Rams have clinched a playoff berth, but the Lions and Vikings are playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC on Sunday night. The Eagles and Rams will rest their starters. The Buccaneers are playing for the NFC South title and a home game in the playoffs. The Commanders and Packers have both clinched playoff berths, so there’s a chance they could rest some starters. The Falcons can also still earn a postseason berth.
Every other team in the conference is just playing out the schedule.
When you're done reviewing these PPR rankings, you still won't want to set your starting lineup without checking out my Start Em, Sit Em columns at every position!
