Quarterback
| Tier 1 – Jalen Hurts | A.J. Brown | DeVonta Smith | Hurts ranks three spots ahead of industry consensus as my No. 1 QB for the Divisional Round. | Additional QB Notes & Movers: | Tier 1 – Patrick Mahomes | Mecole Hardman | Mahomes is a high-end QB1, per usual. | Tier 3 – Dak Prescott | Prescott is a mid-range QB1 on a small slate. | Running Back | Tier 1 – Christian McCaffrey | Elijah Mitchell | McCaffrey is a high-end RB1 this weekend, but don’t expect the 25.8 point-per-game version we saw without Mitchell playing. | Tier 2 – Miles Sanders | Jalen Hurts | A.J. Brown | DeVonta Smith | Josh Allen | Patrick Mahomes | Sanders is a boom-bust RB2 with No. 1 overall potential against the Giants. | Tier 2 – Tony Pollard | Ezekiel Elliott | Pollard is a boom-bust mid-range RB1 on the four-game slate. | Additional RB Notes & Movers: | Tier 2 – Jerick McKinnon | Clyde Edwards-Helaire | Isiah Pacheco | McKinnon is a mid-range RB1 on the slate, but he carries a lower floor if CEH plays. | Tier 3 – Elijah Mitchell | Christian McCaffrey | The second-year RB is a boom-bust Tier 3 RB. | Wide Receiver | Tier 1 – CeeDee Lamb | The Cowboys’ go-to WR is a top-four option in the Divisional Round. | Tier 2 – DeVonta Smith | Dallas Goedert | Smith comes in four spots ahead of industry consensus in my overall ranks and one spot ahead in the WR ranks | Additional WR Notes & Movers: | Tier 2 – JuJu Smith-Schuster | Travis Kelce | Smith-Schuster has high-end WR1 upside. | Tier 2 – Gabe Davis | Josh Allen | Davis carries big upside once again in a pass-first offense with a bomb-friendly QB. | Tier 4 – Marvin Jones Jr. | Jones is a low-end WR2 for the Divisional Round slate. | Tight End |

TE Notes & Movers:
- Tier 2 – Evan Engram faces a Chiefs defense that struggles against the pass. Out of the remaining playoff teams, Kansas City allows the most passing TDs (1.9) and second-most passing yards per game (242) in non-overtime play. Engram has three 18-plus point outings in his last six contests. The veteran TE offers the type of upside that has a chance to offset a big Travis Kelce game. Engram is a mid-range TE1 with blowup potential.
