You will carry that roster for the entire playoffs with the total points accumulated deciding the winner. With that in mind, the strategy is to select players whose team you expect to advance farthest in the playoffs (thus playing more games and having more opportunities to score fantasy points) at the positions which traditionally produce the highest scores (i.e. you probably wouldn't want to select a RB from a team you expect to be eliminated after one game). The scoring system will be as follows: 1 pt per 25 yds passing 1 pt per 10 yds rushing 1 pt per 10 yds recieving 4 pts per passing TD 6 pts per rushing TD 6 pts per recieving TD 2 pts per two-pt conversion (passing/rushing/recieving) -2 pts per INT -2 pts per fumble lost 1 pt per XP 3 pts per FG up to 39 yds 4 pts per FG of 40-49 yds 5 pts per FG of 50+ yds 6 pts per D/ST TD 1 pt per sack 2 pts per INT 2 pts per fumble recovery 2 pts per safety -2 pts per D/ST fumble lost 8 pts for total points allowed 0-6 6 pts for total points allowed 7-13 4 pts for total points allowed 14-20 2 pts for total points allowed 21-27 - Points will be counted after each individual game, no decimal scoring (i.e. if Peterson rushes for 87 yds in the division playoffs and 103 yds in the NFC Championship, he will recieve 8 pts and 10 pts, not 19 pts for the combined 190 yds) - Touchdowns scored on special teams or defense will be awarded to that D/ST unit, not to individual players. Each entry must select one of it's players to act as a tiebreaker. If two or more teams are tied, final standings will be determined by the highest scoring tiebreaker player (total points scored by that player for the playoffs) on the tied entries. Submit your roster to this thread in the following format (example of a roster) QB - J. Allen, Buf QB - Brady, TBB RB - Henry, TEN RB - Mitchell, SF WR - Chase, CIN WR - Kupp, LAR TE - Kelce, KCC TE - Goedert, PHI K - Carlson, LVR K - Prator, ARI DST - Patriots DST - Cowboys *Make sure to highlight the player you selected as your tiebreaker (use bold, italics, arrows, hell you can use bananas for all I care as long as it is noticeable) If you wish to change your roster after entering it, do not edit your original entry post, simply make a new reply pointing out that you wish to change your entry and what lineup you are submitting in its place. All entries will be recorded at 1 PM EST Saturday, Jan 11th to prevent edits. Rosters will be loaded into an MFL league:https://www43.myfantasyleague.com/2024/ajax_ls?L=42240 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 2,604 Posted January 8 Ok I know I was dumb to think the Bengals were in the playoffs, but does everyone else think Hurts might not play? Surprised I was the only one to pick him so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised I was the only one to pick him so far doubt it has as much to do with his concussion as it does the options on other teams or which teams people think will make it farther. I may edit my picks between now and the deadline but for me, Barkley/Hurts is closer than Allen/Cook for example. Henry/Jackson is also close. I might prefer Gibbs or even Amon Ra over Goff himself but since I like Detroit in the NFC, having Goff works. I was back and forth on using Goff and Kelce versus using Mahomes and LaPorta. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised I was the only one to pick him so far Honestly, I didn't think about it much at all. Every year I make a spreadsheet and fock around with different combos. I think I started with Hurts at QB, but settled on Barkley at RB. Hurts at QB is the kind of bold move that can win it for you or put you in the toilet. I haven't looked at the rest of your lineup, but I wouldn't change it. I don't think I've won this, although I've come in second a time or more. But @WhiteWonderdoesn't list first losers in the OP.

It is possible there was no contest for the 2021 playoffs? Maybe one of our many FFT sleuths can find it for 2021. I have updated the OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted January 8 10 minutes ago, edjr said: covid? I assume so. But in my thread for 2021 (which I renamed just now to 2022) I asked ZT if he was going to run it again and he declined because of covid related job stress. Maybe 2021 playoffs was just lost in the covid abyss and I only remembered the game the following season . That's probably what happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
