Several Fantasy football formats run through the 2024 NFL Playoffs. Loading up your roster with players on teams that have the potential to make a deep run for your Fantasy football lineups is key.

Top Super Wild Card Weekend Fantasy football picks
One player the model is high on this week: Texans running back Devin Singletary. After four seasons in Buffalo, Singletary signed with the Texans this offseason -- presumably to back up second-year running back Damien Harris. However, Singletary was able to take advantage of an early-season injury to carve out a role and was generally the more effective back of the two when they were healthy.
Now Singletary is the No. 1 option in a Houston offense that surprised many. The 26-year-old carried the ball 216 times for 898 yards and four touchdowns while also catching 30 passes for 193 yards. He had three 100-yard rushing games this season and has averaged 19 touches per game since taking over as the starter in November.
And a massive shocker: Bills receiver Stefon Diggs, who had 1,183 receiving yards and eight touchdowns this season, stumbles big-time and doesn't crack the top 10 at his position. The 2023 NFL season was the tail of two halves for Diggs, who saw his three-year Pro Bowl streak come to an end. He scored the third most Fantasy points amongst wideouts through Week 9 but plummeted all the way down to being the WR56 over the last half of the year.
That drop in production coincided with the Bills changing offensive coordinators, and they certainly aren't bringing back the fired Ken Dorsey for Sunday. Diggs hasn't gone over 87 receiving yards since Week 6, and the opponent Steelers are bringing the No. 6 scoring defense into town. Also, with a five-game postseason drought without a touchdown, Fantasy football managers shouldn't get swayed by the resume of Diggs, and instead, consider other options for Super Wild Card Weekend.
