Quick refresher: You pick any players you want each week and get FF points for them. There is no draft; everyone can pick Tom Brady if they want, and you can change any or all of them each week. If you use the same guy a second week, his points are doubled, tripled for a third week, etc… So basically you want to pick the highest scorers on the teams you think will go to the Superbowl.

I’m in. With the horrid stench of a wasted season still clinging to my fantasy football corpse, I will once again seek redemption through playoff football.
Well the app very clearly told me “saved” when I created and saved my roster, and yet now it thinks it’s empty. So I didn’t get a score from any of the players I selected today. It appears neither did Ellis Dee. Maybe they lost their roster data a few days ago, since the two of us were the first people to create rosters.
Anyway, they’re letting me pick players from tomorrow’s games, so all isn’t lost. Double check your rosters.
Right there with you with 144 points with 2 to play yet.
Have never played this before, so I don’t know how quickly points can be made up with the weekly multipliers, but it’s starting to look like a 2 horse race.
Yeah, I don’t see how anyone could have not started Aaron Rodgers right out of the gate.
The lesson I learned this year is to pick the defense for their ability without taking their opponent’s offense into consideration.
Last week I figured it was between Baltimore and the Saints just by virtue of them facing the Chiefs and Seahawks. I ended up going with the Saints because 1) the Seahawks seemed more likely to get blown out than the Chiefs, and 2) in the likely divisional round matchup, the Saints would get the Bears while the Raven would have to go to New England. So it seemed like the Saints were the safe bet.
Had I instead just gone with defense, I would have taken the Raven last week and this week, which would’ve netted me an extra 38 extra points, and next week I’d be in the same boat of needing a new defense.
The Eagles secondary was a weakness all season and the Packers had a better chance of advancing further than the Saints (though I had them beating Seattle… not gonna lie); and it seems to me that the key to this game is picking the best player that advances the furthest to get the point multipliers.
