FBG's Playoff Challenge (1 Viewer)

[Dragon1952]

Anyone playing in this? There are a few similar contests out there. In this particular contest you pick 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1PK and 1 DEF for a total of 10 players from any of the playoff-bound teams, but only a max of 1 player from any one NFL team. Total points are accumulated throughout the playoffs with the SB being the climax with double points awarded. You're stuck with the line-up you choose all the way through the SB.

This is a tough contest and was wondering what stratagies people use for this type of contest. Obviously if you can predict the 2 teams that make it to the SB you've got a huge advantage, especially if you have one of the QB's. But you can also be pretty much eliminated after the wild card round, and at $150-$200 a pop that's a big risk.

So you can choose not to pick a wild card player and wait for round 2 and take a zero, or you can try and accumulate points early and hopefully pick a guy that moves on? Any thoughts?

EDIT: 4 pt passing TD, 1 pt per 20 yds passing, WR/RB 1 PPR, TE 1.5 PPR

What possible advantage could be gained by taking a zero in round 1? No guarantee that the player you hold out for makes it more than 1 game (and given that you're taking 10 with 4 teams on the bye, you'll have a few zeros round 1 in any case).
