The 2024 fantasy football playoffs are heating up as Week 16 approaches, with crucial decisions for managers still in contention for the championship. Notable risers include Jahmyr Gibbs of the Detroit Lions, who is set to take on a larger role after David Montgomery's injury, and Brenton Strange from the Jacksonville Jaguars, who is stepping up in the absence of Evan Engram.

Jerome Ford of the Cleveland Browns is also in the spotlight following Nick Chubb's injury. Conversely, Jerry Jeudy's value has taken a hit with Dorian Thompson-Robinson starting at quarterback for the Browns. Breece Hall of the New York Jets and Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders are among other fallers, facing challenges that could impact their playoff performance.
