Playoff Odds and Rankings Updated
Our playoff simulations are now updated to reflect the full results of Week 14.
You can find them here. The writeup on how to interpret the table is here:

We've also updated our playoff best ball rankings.
Right now, the trickiest part of drafts... is the very first pick. Taking Josh Allen 1.01 is the safe move. He has high odds of making the conference championship game while being unlikely to have a bye week. And he's quite valuable as one of the few high-scoring QBs likely to make the Super Bowl. Your 1.01 Allen build probably won't be as strong as Allen builds from the middle of the board, but your unlikely to get boxed into a lower-probability Super Bowl matchup.
The upside play is Saquon Barkley. If the room cooperates, you can build Barkley/Chiefs or Barkley/Ravens Super Bowl teams. Barkley/Steelers is less fun... but the odds back it as a solid build.
I'm drafting both right now from the 1.01. As of today, I'm leaning toward Allen, but I really don't want to be fading either player, so I'm mixing it up.

We also expect DraftKings to launch playoff best ball content soon, and we'll be working on rankings and Sidekick compatibility shortly after contests go live.

Happy Drafting.
