With most of our league's playoff teams determined, I looked to see which fantasy Studs didn't make our playoffs. Here are the best 15 players in our league that I'm glad we won't have to meet:

A. Luck

H. Nicks

P. Manning

C. Newton

A. Foster

D. Martin

E. Decker

M. Forte

A. Johnson

C. Johnson

R. Gronkowski

R. White

M. Schaub

A. Bradshaw

D. McFadden

Incredible how many good players wont have any fantasy impact in my league weeks 14-16. What studs missed your fantasy playoffs?

 
:unsure: I suspect a lot of people are going to disagree with your definition of who the stud players are.

Not in our playoffs (12 team, PPR league):

QBS

Brees

Brady

Rodgers

Ryan

RG3

RBs

Trent Richardson

Gore

WRs

Welker

Cruz

Wayne

TEs

Graham

Gonzalez

 
I agree that the stud definition is a little browad in this thread but I for one am glad I will not be playing the team with Rodgers and AP in my playoffs (still trying to figure how that one is out)

 
I agree with a post above that the OP is pointless. There is too small a sample size to generate any significant trends.

A better indicator is to look at players that are in your FF playoffs. Playoff roster teams start to look eerily similar after you see a page or two of them. At that point, it's better to redefine what the term "stud" means. What are previously viewed as "studs" have to be considered disappointments and playoff roster players are the new "studs".

 
Using Sarnoff's guide:

Top 12 QB not in playoffs: Brady, Freeman, Dalton, Stafford (First 2 on 1 team, Second 2 on another)

Top 12 RB not in playoffs: ADP, Gore, Chris Johnson

Top 12 WR not in playoffs: DT, Dez, Welker, Andre Johnson, Julio (DT, Dez and Julio on the same team.)

Top 12 TE not in playoffs: Daniels, Gresham

What do I win?

 
QB:

Brees

Brady

Cam

Peyton

WR:

Megatron!!!

Colston

D. Thomas

Welker

A Johnson

Wayne

RB:

Richardson

Forte?

Morris

Bradshaw?

D:

Chicago

SF

Not that there are many elite TE's this year, but none of the top ones are eliminated. Also, not too many of the great RB's are eliminated. Some stud QB's and WR's eliminated though.

4 of the top 5 QBs (RGIII, Brees, Rodgers, Luck), 3 of the top 10 RBs (Lynch, Richardson, Morris), 4 of the top 10 WRs (Calvin, Marshall, VJax, Cruz) missed the playoffs in my main league.

 
For guys that play in multiple leagues, I'd like to see the mid to late rounds producers that keyed their success. For instance, our 1st place team waited on his QB and picked RGIII as one of the last QB1s. The 2nd place team drafted Cobb late. I drafted ADP, Martin and scooped up Spiller late.

Good ones. Didn't land on strong teams in my league (4th and 7th), but both were great values in redrafts this year.
 
Our league only has 4 spots (WK 14 is the last week of the regular season).

QB

Brees (6th place)

Brady (7th)

WRs

Green (5th place)

Megatron (5th)

Harvin (6th)

Thomas (7th)

Dez (12th)

RBs

T-Rich (6th place)

Wayne especially has propelled me through two leagues. I remember during the draft being pissed that Witten went off the board so I had to take Gonzo. Both have been great and I think they were the 6th and 7th TEs off the board.
 
My list

RB: AP, Lynch, Gore

WR: R White

Thats the list.....of course, there have been zero playoff spots won at this point. 7 teams playing for the 4 playoff spots.

all 7 teams within one game.

 
The most glaring that are already guaranteed to be out of the playoffs in my most serious money league are Griffin III, Calvin Johnson and Peterson. Griffin landed on a terrible team, Peterson's roster got killed by injuries and Johnson was traded to a cellar dweller for a bundle of youth/picks(it's a dynasty league) at the trade deadline.

There's going to be a handful more, I'm certain, but there are still 4 teams alive for the last two spots. There's a team in that group with Newton, Witten and a scad of IDP studs that is staring down the barrel of a "must win" in week 14 or they're all out.

 
Rodgers

Brees

Brady

Chris Johnson

Gore

Calvin Johnson

Julio Jones

Jordy Nelson

Demaryius Thomas (and Decker)

Larry Fitzgerald

Gonzalez

Witten

Daniels

Miller

Martin and to an extent Spiller have been critical for me because I didn't take a RB til the 3rd.

Gonzo went 1 spot ahead of me in a later round where I was going to select him, and that has been my main weakness aside from DST.

1.12- MJD- No playoffs

RB- 4/6 make playoffs

WR- 1/1 make playoffs

QB- 1/5 make playoffs

Dont go QB in the first round, that is what I gathered from it. For the first time in my fantasy career, I reached on a QB and took Cam in the 2nd round. Got lucky with Marshall in the 3rd round but struggled to find solid RB's every week. Ended up with LeShoure and Murray. Looking good heading into the playoffs.

QB: Peyton, Stafford, Dalton, Luck, Ryan

Luck is a Top 5 QB in your league? That's gotta be a different scoring system. What do you give, maybe 3 points for passing TD and nothing negative for INT?

Ya I tried to grasp it but just cant get a reason out of it.I think it would be alot more meaningful if it had the Player, Round Drafted....That way bust like McFadden or Mathews you can see what% of people posting have certain players not make the playoffs. I think ESPN does this with their standard leagues probably next week. Sorry it was actually CBS Sports but I dont think they do it each year.http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/story/15073642/players-that-win-fantasy-championships
 
In a 12-team dynasty nonPPR, these are the players from the top 12 at each position that won't be in the playoffs:

QB - Peyton, Ryan, Stafford, Cam, Romo

RB - Rice, Morris

WR - Dez, AJ, Welker, Roddy, Shorts

TE - Heath, Witten, Daniels, Olsen

The bolded are players I own.

 
If I don't make the playoffs then the following players won't be there:

RG3

Morris

Martin

Murray

Marshall

Graham

Don't as how I haven't locked up a plyoff spot with that team, as I honestly don't know.

Other players who won't be there:

QB: Brady, Ryan, Stafford, Rodgers

RB: McCoy, Ridley, TRich, Forte, Spiller, Foster, Peterson

WR: Megatron, Fitz, Welker, Thomas

TE: Hernandez

There is still 2 spots to be decided in the playoffs, with 3 teams in the running, including me. Other studs that could miss out include Julio Jones, Gronkowski, Rice, Lynch, Peyton Manning

Small sample size but goes to show that leagues are not won in the first two rounds....
