pee-diddy 27 Posted January 1, 2013 Which wildcard teams are going to play 2 games and possibly 3+? Just wondering if any players playing Sat are worth drafting. Our playoff league doesn't change rosters each week. You choose your team and stick with 'em the entire NFL playoffs. Which players (QB, RB, WR, TE, K) do you think will tear it up in the postseason?

edjr 5,567 Posted January 1, 2013 I usually try to avoid players playing wild card weekend. Sure they make it to the bowl sometimes, but it's rare I played in a 10 teamer last year, I picked the last QB and tight end and got Alex Smith and Vernon Davis. I won with no guys going to super bowl. That being said.. the QB from the seattle/wash matchup could score a lot of points if you pick the winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 608 Posted January 1, 2013 The Wild Card projections / rankings are posted. I'll have the Full Playoff Rankings available on the site later this afternoon but I'm liking Seattle to play at least two games and agree with edjr, picking the right winner of the SEA/WAS game could go a long way in determining your success in any playoff league.

pee-diddy 27 Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah, I like A. Rodgers. I'm thinking he'll play 2 games for sure. Maybe even pull an Eli and go from Wildcard to Superbowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 608 Posted January 2, 2013 Who does SEA/WAS play the following week? Highest-seeded wild-card winner at No. 2 San Francisco 49ers Lowest-seeded wild-card winner at No. 1 Atlanta Falcons So, the winner of Seattle (#5) and Washington (#4) is likley to play Atlanta provided Minnesota (#6) loses to Green Bay (#3).

GreenTD 56 Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah, I like A. Rodgers. I'm thinking he'll play 2 games for sure. Maybe even pull an Eli and go from Wildcard to Superbowl. Or just pull an Aaron Rodgers & go from Wildcard to Superbowl. It happened 2 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted January 3, 2013 12-teamer: QB - Brady RB - LaMike James TE/WR - Welker TE/WR - Hernandez RB/TE/WR - TY Hilton RB/TE/WR - R Moss K - Cundiff ST/D - Patriots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTD 56 Posted January 3, 2013 I did an 8-team draft last night. Drafted from the #2 spot. Didn't stick to my normal strategy of targeting a certain couple teams so that may hurt me but here it is. QB: A. Rodgers RB: M. Lynch RB: A. Morris WR/TE: AJ Green WR/TE: A. Hernandez WR/TE: B. Stokley K: CIN DEF: Denver Flex: A. Luck Drafted a lot of wildcard players & guaranteed my running back position at least 2 games out of one of them. If Green Bay, Cincinnati & Indy all win this weekend, I like my chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted January 3, 2013 Got a draft tonight (6 pts for all TD's). Don't know where I'll pick yet. -It's impossible for me to stay away from Rodgers if I get the 1st pick since he's playing this weekend and Brady/Peyton are not. Chance at 4 games. -2nd would be either Brady or Peyton without a doubt. I believe NE and Denver are the elite in the AFC and both QB's will get at least 2 games. The trick is to pick the one who will defeat the other. -The more I think about it the more I may choose to stay away from Washington/Seattle players. I think that game is a coin toss and I'd rather go with guys I feel have a better chance at 2 games. -If I don't get a top 3 pick, and miss out on Rodgers/Brady/Manning, I'm not sure what I'll choose to do. I'll have to hitch a ride with a team I think will make a run. I'm having a hard time believing in Matty Ice. -I'm afraid I think Peterson is 1 and done. -Lynch is solid but again I think that game with Washington is a coin flip. -See above for thoughts on Morris. -Moreno is an interesting choice but a total gamble. -Foster is a good pick for 2 games. No more though. -I'm hoping to steal Gronkowski with guys thinking he won't be that affective in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stosher1 0 Posted January 3, 2013 I run a different playoff pool - must take one player from every team: QB (2) = Manning, Ryan RB (3) = Lynch, Foster, Rice WR (4) = Jennings, Garcon, Hilton, Green TE (1) = Gronk K (1) = Walsh D/ST (1) = 49ers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peyton went #1 overall so my choice at #2 boiled down between Rodgers or Brady since our league is also 6 points for all touchdowns. I went with Rodgers since the chance at 4 games is a huge advantage & the NFC is a toss up for who gets in the SuperBowl. My initial thoughts are a Denver vs. Green Bay SuperBowl but unfortunately my league mates thought the same. Chose better players on teams I don't think will go far but should score well when they do play instead of lesser players whom I predict go to the SuperBowl.

Stewburtx8 67 Posted January 3, 2013 I had a 10 team draft last night (just $30 a man) that I wasn't too thrilled with. I got stuck with what I feel is the worst pick, the #4 pick. After Rodgers, Manning, and Brady I really am not thrilled with any of the QB's available. I like Denver to go to the Super Bowl, and since this is a PPR league, I went with Demaryius Thomas. QB- Joe Flacco RB- Danny Woodhead WR- Demaryius Thomas WR- Greg Jennings Flex- Aaron Hernandez Flex- Brandon Stokley K- Mason Crosby IDP- Brad Jones Nothing after me went as planned. Ryan, Wilson, RG3, Lynch, Decker, Moreno, Peterson, Welker, Gronk, Julio, Roddy, Foster all went. My only chance is for Flacco to play at least 2 games and put up some nice stat lines, then get a Packers vs Broncos/Pats Super Bowl and have my guys not get blown away by Rodgers, Manning, Brady, etc. I don't like my chances. I have another draft with a little higher buyin tonight which I hope goes much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't read it yet but I will. I'm interested as to why he'd believe Wilson in Washington is a safer bet than Rodgers at home vs Minnesota.

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted January 3, 2013 It's for the entirety of the playoffs, not just this weekend. I realize that. I'm saying I'd rather gamble on Rodgers for the playoffs than Wilson. I think Rodgers has an auto-win in the first game vs the coin flip of Wilson. You can't go on in the playoffs unless you win and I feel safer with Rodgers vs Wilson.

Isn't Seattle the worst road team in the playoffs? Now they go across the country to play a game vs the hottest team in the NFL, in the freezing cold. In front of a bunch of rabid, win-starved fans.

Eagles Green 34 Posted January 3, 2013 I think Seattle is the most talented team in the NFC. But this is what scares me about them. I'm with you. So since this is easily the toughest game to pick the winner in, I think it's nuts to take Wilson as the #1 fantasy QB. 1) Rodgers 2) Manning 2a) Brady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So since this is easily the toughest game to pick the winner in, I think it's nuts to take Wilson as the #1 fantasy QB. 1) Rodgers 2) Manning 2a) Brady Agreed. The 4th spot is where you can put Wilson or whoever else you think can make a run. Best candidates are probably Ryan, Kaepernick, or Wilson. I just don't like Flacco or Schaub much in the AFC. I have a hard time seeing Denver or New England losing their first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted January 3, 2013 I 2nd that! I would not touch Russell Wilson as my QB. However, I suppose he could be the guy that someone else nabs who wins him the title. Personally, and I know I'm not going out on a limb here, but I think you basically have to choose between Matty Ice/Rodgers and Brady/Manning at QB. So it actually will prolly come down to the other skill players you draft that no one else drafts that make/break you. Jacquizz? Turner? Garcon? B. Lloyd? Woodhead? Jordy? Stokely? Etc.

FantasyBowl33 0 Posted January 4, 2013 In a playoff pool where you can only pick 1 player from each of the 12 playoff teams. But must have roster that has 3 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, ! TE, 1 PK, 1 DEF. You don't change roster after each round. Your stuck with what you start with. Still haven't decided what strategy i'll go with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted January 4, 2013 Ugh, not excited at all. I did not draw an early pick so I missed out on the big 3 QB's. Decided to gamble with Wilson, because I had to go with someone who could make a run. Tough draft, the best were gone quickly. Heavy TD scoring, all TD's 6 pts, start 2 WR/TE per weekend. QB - Wilson RB - Lynch, Woodhead WR/TE - J Nelson, Gronkowski, A Hernandez, S Rice D - NE K - Crosby Dead man walking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windycityguy 1 Posted January 5, 2013 In my league our Playoff format requires us to keep one player from our team. I have Gronk. T. Gonzalez A. Rodgers Andre Johnson G. Jennings T. Brady Randall Cobb Rob Gronkowski A. Foster Julio Jones Matt Ryan M. Lynch The lineup I intend on submitting tonight is Wilson Moreno Ridley/ I can swap him for a WR or TE havent decided for sure Decker D Thomas W Welker Gronk Gostkowski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTD 56 Posted January 5, 2013 I did another draft Thursday, 6 team PPR. 1st pick. QB: P.Manning QB: Flacco RB: M. Lynch RB: S. Ridley WR/TE: W. Welker WR/TE: J. Nelson WR/TE: B. Lloyd Flex: D. Woodhead K: M. Prater K: S. Gostkowski DEF: Green Bay DEF: Indy I like this team. If there's a GB vs. SEA NFC Championship game & a DEN vs. NE AFC Championship game, this team is golden.
