With so many teams hitting form at exactly the right time of the season, the NFL Playoffs are set to be very exciting this year. The path to the Super Bowl should be competitive in both the AFC and NFC conferences. Here is a look at some players to keep in mind when making your Daily Fantasy Sports selections throughout the postseason.

Lamar Jackson (QB)

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is on course to win the NFL MVP award for a third time following the 2024/25 campaign. Daily Fantasy Sports players will have been rewarded for including Jackson in their lineup throughout the season, and that may continue into the playoffs.

Jackson is set to throw for over 4,000 passing yards once again. After 16 regular season games, he had 39 touchdowns and just four interceptions. His passing rating was by far the best in the league at 121.6. 

For those participating in Daily Fantasy Sports during the playoffs, it’s worth keeping an eye on available promotions ahead of the postseason. New users signing with Underdog Fantasy can access up to $1000 in bonus cash, which can be applied to pick ’em contests and best-ball tournaments. With his standout performances, Jackson is expected to be a frequent choice in these competitions.

Saquon Barkley (RB)

Former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has proved to be an excellent acquisition from the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old led the league in rushing yards after week 17. He had accumulated 2,005 rushing yards going into the final game of the regular season.

Barkley is going to be a huge threat in the NFC during the playoffs. The Eagles have one of the best offenses in the NFL, with Jalen Hurts playing just in front of RB. If teams try to stop the talented QB, Barkley is likely to see lots of the ball.

The former first-round pick has only played two playoff matches before. The Giants reached the Divisional Round in 2022. This is his best chance of booking his place at the Super Bowl since he arrived in the NFL in 2018.

Amon-Ra St.Brown (WR)

The Detroit Lions’ Amon-Ra St.Brown was one of just seven players to have over 100 receiving receptions in the NFL after week 17. He has been a big part of a Detroit offense that is considered the best in football.

The 6’1 WR is in contention for many of the offensive awards this season. He has scored 11 touchdowns in his opening 15 games this year – the highest tally in his career. It would be no surprise to see the 25-year-old put up some big numbers throughout the playoffs, as he is Lions QB Jared Goff’s go-to receiver in the team.

St. Brown signed a four-year contract extension back in April, which is worth $120 million. He is not only a safe pair of hands but can make plays other WRs in the league can only dream of. 

The 2024/25 NFL playoffs will conclude at Super Bowl LIX on February 9 at the Superdome in Louisiana. Good luck with your selections throughout the campaign.
