Top 50 rankings — Underdog Playoffs 2022

1. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills — Four games of Josh Allen would be the lock QB.

2. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs

3. Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles — Will he be fully healthy?

4. Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals — Burrow and the Bengals are stackable and could play four games. Great combination.

5. Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers — The best RB on the best team in the NFC. Plus, you only start one RB, so there’s some positional value here, too.

6. Ja’Marr Chase, W/T, Cincinnati Bengals — Getting harder to stack with Burrow.

7. Stefon Diggs, W/T, Buffalo Bills — Diggs has been quiet for a while, but the eruption games are coming.

8. Travis Kelce, W/T, Kansas City Chiefs — Loses his positional value with the WR and TE being combined to the W/T position, but still scores as an elite WR1.

9. A.J. Brown, W/T, Philadelphia Eagles — Eagles are Super Bowl contenders, so you could get a full slate out of the beast.

10. Justin Jefferson, W/T, Minnesota Vikings — Discounted in drafts because the Vikings are perceived as “frauds.” If they go to the Super Bowl, Jefferson will be a lock to be on the winning Underdog team.

11. Tee Higgins, W/T, Cincinnati Bengals — Very stackable with Burrow.

12. CeeDee Lamb, W/T, Dallas Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb Underdog Playoff Fantasy Rankings

13. Jerick McKinnon, RB, Kansas City Chiefs — The No. 2-ranked RB because the Chiefs will be among the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl.

14. Deebo Samuel, W/T, San Francisco 49ers — He’s back, but will he be healthy?

15. DeVonta Smith, W/T, Philadelphia Eagles — Smith has gone over 100 yards in four of his last five games.

16. Tony Pollard, RB, Dallas Cowboys — Cowboys are a threat to make a deep playoff run.

17. Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

18. Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers — Lower in the ranks because the Chargers are a playoff flight risk, but he’d be a major value if they make a run.

19. George Kittle, W/T, San Francisco 49ers — Kittle has shined with Brock Purdy, but with Deebo back, does Kittle take a hit?

20. JuJu Smith-Schuster, W/T, Kansas City Chiefs — The WR1 with Patrick Mahomes.

21. Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

22. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys

23. Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings

24. Brandon Aiyuk, W/T, San Francisco 49ers — A model of consistency, but not as high of a ceiling as the WRs above him.

25. Devin Singletary, RB, Buffalo Bills — Not shiny, but there’s only 1 RB spot, and locking up a player on a team that’s a legitimate threat to make a deep run is important.

26. Gabe Davis, W/T, Buffalo Bills

27. Chris Godwin, W/T, Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Brady’s favorite target.

28. Keenan Allen, W/T, Los Angeles Chargers

29. Mike Williams, W/T, Los Angeles Chargers

30. Dallas Goedert, W/T, Philadelphia Eagles

31. Dalton Schultz, W/T, Dallas Cowboys

32. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys — Could end up being a nice value thanks to his TD production.

33. Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers

34. Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers

35. Saquon Barkley, RB, NY Giants — Would be a big value if the Giants shock and win a couple of games.

36. Tyler Boyd, W/T, Cincinnati Bengals — The cheapest access to Cincy’s big offense.

37. Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
