It's Week 14. And because all of our fantasy teams are super powerful, we are likely already looking to the fantasy playoffs.

Right?

Or maybe all we need to do is limp into the playoffs and let our team go on that magic run.

It's not magic if you plan it out. Using the Footballguys Strength of Schedule, here's a look at the quarterbacks with the best matchups in this year's fantasy playoffs.

QBs With the Best Playoff Matchups

Minnesota Vikings - DAL | NYG | DET

Great schedule? Check.
Reliable quarterback? Hmmm.

To quote Jon Bon Jovi, "We're halfway there." Relying on J.J. McCarthy to fuel a fantasy championship would indeed be Living on a Prayer.

Next.

Miami Dolphins - PIT | CIN | TB

The good news is that Tua Tagovailoa has shown the ability to put up elite fantasy numbers. The bad news is that it has been a while.

Hopefully, you have other options, but Tagovailoa is worth having if disaster strikes.

Washington Commanders - NYG | PHI | DAL

Now we're talking. The Commanders have struggled this year, but things are suddenly looking up. Terry McLaurin is back, and Jayden Daniels is nearing his return as well. And that schedule is primo!

If your squad has limped into the playoffs despite Daniels, he might reward you with a championship run.

Pittsburgh Steelers - MIA | DET | CLE

Feels like another version of Miami.

Aaron Rodgers is literally broken, but he has defied the odds many times. Still, trusting the Pittsburgh offense is a bold move. Hopefully, you have other options.

Cincinnati Bengals - BAL | MIA | ARI

Speaking of other options!

We got Joe Burrow back last week, and all went well. The entire team played well, and Ja'Marr Chase didn't spit on anyone.

Could Burrow be ready to perform exactly as everyone imagined when they drafted him in August?
