Fantasy Football Playoff Rankings from the model that out-performed experts

Our model outperformed the experts last season, and it's back to give out some surprising fantasy football projections for the NFL Playoffs

Before setting your Fantasy Football lineups for the NFL Playoffs, you need to see what our model has to say. When it comes to ranking players, the model is beating human experts this season when there are big differences in ranking. And the model is the closest-to-the-hole overall, meaning it has best pinpointed where every player will finish each week. The bottom line - the model has crushed the competition this season and now is giving YOU picks for post-season pools.

One player the model loves for the duration of the playoffs: Rams RB Todd Gurley. This MVP candidate comes into the playoffs on fire, having scored eight touchdowns in his last three games. SportsLine's model says he'll finish as the top running back and third overall player.

And a massive shocker: Tom Brady, who threw for 32 touchdown passes to just eight interceptions, is beat out as the top overall player by Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. Pass on Brady and back Smith when you set your lineups.

The model is also calling for a surprising QB to finish in the top 10, and his team could be in for a deep run in the playoffs.
