#1 pick in playoff fantasy drafts? (1 Viewer)

Alright guys.....who do you think should be the #1 pick in playoff fantasy drafts this year? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but unlike previous years (when you could make a case for Peyton), I don't think there's a consensus top pick this year. I always like picking in the middle of playoff drafts because you never know what is going to happen and value always seems to find its way to you, but of course I ended up drawing the #1 pick this year (which I hate). Draft is tomorrow night......what do you guys think?

Scoring system down? My league gives points for punt returns so Antonio has huge value.

Footballguys standard scoring league (non-PPR). Nothing out of the ordinary. We do get points for return touchdowns, but not return yards. I don't know if the Steelers can make it out of the Wildcard round without Bell.

Was thinking either Lynch or Russell Wilson since I think Seattle is the "safest" bet to get to the Super Bowl.....however, I'd be scared to draft either of them.

Is it a standard lineup league, with points added for the entire playoffs?

This may be a reach, but if your settings require a standard lineup, I would consider Gronk. He's the only elite TE in the playoffs (since Julius Thomas has been absent lately), and I think the Patriots have the best chance to make it to the Superbowl. I don't really see anyone in the AFC going into New England to win. In the NFC, if healthy, I could see GB going into Seattle to win, and Dallas may be the hottest team in the league right now (although I don't trust Romo's history). Value wise, I think Gronk's value in those conditions is higher than anyone else.

I think Beast Mode, Brady, Rodgers, and Wilson are all safe bets, and Antonio Brown, Romo, Dez, and DeMarco are all pretty good bets to get two games with chances for more. I've always been a huge Peyton Manning fan, but I'm afraid Denver looks like they are going in the wrong direction.

Doing my draft with pretty standard scoring. So far has gone: Brady / BeastMode / Wilson / Gronk / Demarco

I would drool over getting the Rodgers/Nelson combo

Rodgers went next. Stopped for the night, guessing that guy will try and get Nelson, Cobb, or Lacy.
