Well crap. Gotta change mine now.

I dunno @scottybo There's a case for maybe zigging where others are zagging.

Seriously mimics my first one on the dot. I'll leave it, but I did zag on the 2nd entry.

This thinks is selling fast. Ahead of last year that sold out early. Less than 35% of teams left open.

I'm in for my usual 3.

It's really challenging - seems like you need to get the SB right to have a chance, so I like to do 3 variants using my 3 projected SB winners. I tend to fade K & D/ST - if I'm gonna lose anything in the 1st round, those are my easy calls.

I've set preliminary lineups, but I always go back and make tweaks the next day with fresh eyes. This is my 3rd year doing this - one of my teams did pretty well a couple of years ago, IIRC. Faded in the SB, but it was exciting for a minute there.

Awesome! Hope you win it all.

Contest is almost closed. Selling out in record time it looks.

Just went to edit my teams and magically had a $35 credit - so now I have a 4th team!

Woohoo!

My only worry is that my teams are so chalky. It's so hard to pass on a stud for a 2nd banana, yet I just know some team with Hasty, KJO and Palmer is going to win it all.

I’ve been doing these FFPC/FBG playoff contests for 10+ years (doesn’t mean I’m good). I love them though. I did get a top 10 the year of falcons/patriots SB. A few other years in top 100-200.
Some tips:
- build a bracket for each entry to think through the matchups/lineup.
- you want your K and D to be one and done. And definitely don’t have them be playing each other.
- you exclude a player from 2 teams- those teams definitely need to lose. Though you will need to have 2 skill players from one and done teams, so choose wisely.
- there is a lot of chalk but ok to have a few yourself. You don’t need a WR3/4 or backup RB etc to win.
- I usually want my QB in superbowl (2x points) though last year the winner didn’t. (He had Allen). I like to have a non chalk player against him (particularly if the QB is popular). It is fun to have outs going into Super Bowl
- you’d be surprised but the top of leaderboard usually doesn’t have many duplicate scores.


Good luck

Do you have 4 different QBs like me, or multiple entries with 1-2 QBs?

Just 2. Pretty much relying on Buffalo being in the championship game

I went with a 4 QB approach.

It probably hurts my cause more than it helps but I do like diversity and expect the unexpected.

I'm pretty chalk I guess. No Miami or Seattle in my lineups.

Same. Except K.

Unsticking this one now that both the 1.0 version and the 2.0 versions of the contests sold out early. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Joe Bryant]

Question - for contests like the Playoff Challenge and others, are articles like this laying out how we'd tackle them useful? They seem like they are but I also want to make sure we're bringing the value people want.

 

[scottybo]

513. Not bad for first try. Becoming a bigger and bigger fan of contests like these and best ball.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

I could have won with a single lineup change. If I played Metcalf over Jefferson.

 

[barackdhouse]

6th place. Hockenson over Jefferson would have been nice for sure.
