Playoff Challenge Rankings: Divisional Round

The Wild Card Round of the 2019 NFL postseason was ... well, wild. The Titans took down the NFL's titan in recent decades, the Patriots, led by Derrick Henry's 26 fantasy points. That led all running backs and was two points ahead of Dalvin Cook, whose Vikings shocked the Saints.

The rest of the best in the Wild Card Round roster included Deshaun Watson (28 points), DK Metcalf (22 points) and Julian Edelman of the vanquished Patriots. Surprisingly, Edelman scored just 10 points. The Titans defense was also a Wild Card star, posting 19 points. Next up is the Divisional Round, where the top seeds (Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers, Packers) enter the tournament in my NFL Playoff Challenge rankings. Not surprisingly, at least for those who expect a Ravens-49ersSuper Bowl, you'll find many of their players atop or near the top of the ranks.

I'll be updating these rankings throughout the postseason, so check back after each round. Enjoy!
