Fantasy football rankings: Wild-card weekend
These fantasy football rankings are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
For the playoffs, these rankings are for one week only, not for leagues that play cumulative point totals.
