Week 1 of the playoffs for 1 of my leagues was this week and I ended up pulling it out thanks to Andre Brown. In my other league im already in for sure but I need Lynch to score like 16 points for me tonight to get a first round bye. How is it looking for you guys?

Week 2 of the Playoffs in my league. Playing the top seed who has Manning, Moreno, DeMaryious, Welker, Thomas, Prater...all from the Broncos.

Need to pick either 3 RB's & 2 WR's, or 2 RB's & 3 WR's from the list below. Thoughts appreciated...

Adrian Peterson @ Baltimore
Matt Forte vs. Dallas
Reggie Bush @ Philly

Dez Bryant @ Chicago
DeMaryious Thomas vs. Tennessee
Wes Welker vs. Tennessee

I thought your opponent has Welker and Thomas??

I would rank the RBs this week as Forte > Peterson > Bush (forte and peterson are a toss up imo)

I made the playoffs thanks to a win and 2 other teams losing(I only needed one of them to lose but both was good). I will play a team I've already beaten twice this season. Hoping to get a win and get my money back.

I ended up 3rd in the regular season and the 2 people ahead of me scored 9 and 14 more points. Shits weak. I was up 40 on the guy ahead of me now and he had gordon and someone else who scored a shit ton.

Finished first place at 11-2

First round bye then play the 4v5 winner. If I win that I go to the championship where I either win ($625) or lose ($100).

Hoping to win it all as I clearly have the best team and broke the scoring record this year.

Playoffs start this week, I am tied for the best record but will be the 3 seed (see the FU thread on why I didn't get a bye). I am playing the 6 seed who scored the most points in the league so far this season, but had some tough luck and barely made the playoffs (he scored the most points but is 6-7).

His team is the one team I did not want to face in the playoffs.

My team...
(9-4)
QB-Keenum (don't get me started...and our FA/WW and trade deadlines are past)
RB-Charles, Murray
WR-Megatron, Fitzgerald
TE-Gonzalez
K-Walsh
D-KC

His team
(6-7)
QB-Newton
RB-ADP, McCoy
WR-Gordon, Edelman
TE-Witten
K-Hauschka
D-GB

The only good news is that my team has a cake schedule this week, every single starter is facing a 20th or worse defense against their position (according to CBSSports.com, Murray and Megatron actually both face the worst defense in the NFL against their position). His team faces 4 top 10 defenses, 2 more top 15, and only Witten has an 'easy' matchup.

Even with all those advantages matchup wise, CBSSports.com still only has me as a "slight" favorite, 150-135 (our league scoring is odd...just go with it).

Who to start? ESPN Standard Scoring:

Joique Bell @ Eagles
Ogbonnaya @ Pats
Lamar Miller @ Steelers

Bilal Powell and Roy Helu are the best available FAs.

I agree lol. We have 16 teams, with 2 rbs 2 wrs and a flex, so some of the players that start are pretty shitty.

I cant decide if I want to play Ray Rice(going against the 31st ranked run D) Right now I have Murray, Andre Brown and Morris starting. I probably wont start him but I may be able to be talked into it.

Yeah it doesn't help that Miller probably completely fucked you. Hopefully this is for your #2 RB spot and you're not playing one of those RB's for the flex.

janitor- You don't not when you have those 3 RBs. No one should be able to talk you into starting Ray Rice. If they do I hope you both lose.

hasbeen- I'd go with Kaep

Finished 8-5, got a shit playoff matchup as the 4 seed.

Was 4 marshawn lynch yards away from the 5 and 6 seeds flipping, which would have been huge. As it stands, I'm in trouble.

Was in a tough situation going into last week, playing the top team in the league who was also the second highest scoring team. Beat him to sneak in the playoffs with the 6 seed.

Here's my team:
QB-Romo@CHI
RB- Tate@Jax, L.Bell@MIA
WR- Gordon@NE, SJohnson@TB (Revis), Crabtree@SEA(Sherman?!), Andre Holmes@NYJ, TWilliams@CHI
TE-GGraham@JAX, Cameron@NE
DEF-Cinci@IND
K-Bailey@CHI

Who would you guys start at WR? My WR's are kind of a mess. Was the owner of Cobb, and had to trade Fitzgerald because I had TRich as my RB for the longest time. Thoughts??

Outside of Gordon, none of them are worth a crap next week. Maybe Williams?

Made the playoffs in 1 of 2. The league I missed is my auction league. Need to fill 10 players with 100 bucks and then snake draft to fill in the roster. Spent 45 of 100 on Arian Foster and David Wilson. And then another 15 of it on Victor Cruz who has really fallen off of late. Was actually happy to finish 8th out of 12.

Other league I finished 3rd. 12 team league with 1 IDP, 1 Flex and 1 SuperFlex (QB/RB/WR/TE) and draft picks trades (last year. Draft picks trades were voted down for this year). I sold off last year and ended up with 2 1st round picks and 2 2nd round picks for this year. My team was loaded after the draft but injuries killed me all year.

This week I will be starting:

Brees
Le'Veon Bell
Stacy
Antonio Brown
Welker
Jimmy Graham
Kendall Wright
Bobby Rainey

I was hoping Rodgers would be back for this week but it doesn't look good. I would have him in the super flex. I chose Rainey over Glennon.
