The Yahoo team predicts which players (or defenses) could offer a league-winning performance through the playoffs to help secure you that coveted fantasy football championship.
The league-winning QB nobody saw coming
Sometimes I think pass-game consistency is a make-believe thing that we shouldn’t really chase after, but Sam Darnold of all people is making me rethink that topic. Darnold has multiple touchdown passes in 10 different games and 11 starts with a rating over 100; he rarely throws up a stinker.
Darnold’s playoff schedule has two attractive home games (ah, that indoor life) and he’s tied to winning infrastructure, between head coach Kevin O’Connell, alpha receiver Justin Jefferson and emerging star Jordan Addison. You’re in my Circle of Trust, Sammy. Let’s be champions together. — Scott Pianowski
We’ve got a good “Thielen” about this
After easing back into action after his return from IR, Adam Thielen has caught fire over the past two weeks with 17 receptions on 21 targets for 201 yards and a touchdown, proving he’s still a reliable option. The connection between Bryce Young and Thielen shouldn’t surprise anyone. Last season, Thielen was Young’s top target and posted three top-five finishes before fading in the back half of the season in the year.
Fast forward to now, and Thielen looks fresh and ready to finish off the season in top-tier condition. With Xavier Leggette’s recent struggles, Thielen is clearly Young’s favorite and most reliable target. Thielen’s fantasy playoff schedule features an inconsistent Dallas secondary, Arizona and an ideal championship week matchup against Tampa Bay. He should finish as a weekly top-20 receiver through the remainder of the season with top-five potential in the Week 17 matchup. — Tera Roberts
