Playoff Cheat Sheet
This list is geared toward playoff leagues with standard fantasy scoring (4/6, 20/10, non PPR) and that draft only once before the playoffs and count all scoring through the Super Bowl. So it's a mix of per-game production and the number of projected games for a given team.
Incidentally, PPR rankings are almost identical given the lack of pass-catching backs in the playoffs, as well as receivers who excel in both formats. (Maybe bump up Ray Rice ahead of Alfred Morris/Marshawn Lynch in PPR, though it's still close. And further down, Jacquizz Rodgers and Danny Woodhead would get a slight boost.)
