Quarterback rankings for Wild Card Round fantasy football

The 2025 NFL Playoffs have arrived and Wild Card weekend is upon us. 12 teams will compete for a chance to advance to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. We get two games on Saturday, three on Sunday, and one on Monday. While regular season fantasy football is a wrap, the playoffs bring another brand of fantasy football.

If you’re taking part in playoff fantasy football, we’ve got rankings for the Wild Card round to get you ready. We put together overall playoff fantasy football rankings for setting and forgetting your roster. However, if you want to dig into the nuance of the Wild Card round, or you’re getting ready for some DFS action, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ve got quarterback rankings with injury news and DFS values to consider.

Jordan Love, Packers — Love suffered an elbow injury in Week 18 and did not return to the game. Head coach Matt LaFleur said he expected Love to be available for the Wild Card round, while the QB said “We’ll see. Yeah. I’m hopeful” in response to a question about his availability for Sunday. He seems likely to play, but keep an eye out for updates into the weekend.

Jalen Hurts, Eagles — Hurts suffered a concussion in Week 16 and did not practice at all in Week 17 or 18. However, he has returned to limited work, which suggests he is progressing through the concussion protocol. We will not know for sure until inactives are announced on Sunday, but if he continues progressing, he should be expected to play.

Jayden Daniels, Commanders — Daniels left the team’s Week 18 game and while it initially was not ruled an injury, head coach Dan Quinn later described it as leg soreness. He is on the WC injury report with a quad injury, but he is practicing in full and should play on Sunday.

Vikings QB Sam Darnold appears to be a potential boom-or-bust option. The Rams have given up the tenth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. It’s been a strong season for Darnold, but he could always turn back into a pumpkin at the worst time.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert is also an interesting option, heading to face a Texans defense that ranks in the middle of the pack against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy football. Houston is inconsistent enough that things could get messy against Herbert.
