Speaker 1

Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now along with the guys from fanball dot Com. Here's the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome to the first episode playoff edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi in My co host today is Brian Johnson. Hi, Brian.

We've done the show twenty five years now. We've never gone into the off season at all, including the postseason first time ever. Yeah, normally it's a pack up after Week sixteen and it's see uh August, even though we do see each other in the off season, but yeah, not behind the mike unless we're podcasting, but yeah, which we do as well. Um, this is gonna be fun.

What I instead of breaking down the week seventeen matchups, because you really should not be crowning your champion in week seven team you already know that, and you know, I think our listeners aren't doing it that way. The other five percentage is stubborn and they've heard all the rationale and I'm not gonna get into that. We're gonna spend this podcast talking about the playoffs because most people are gonna hear this Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday of

next week. Rolling in the playoffs plaoffs Fantasy football is so much fun and you get redemption. Most of us didn't win our leagues, right one in twelve did one intended? Um, here's some redemption and a chance to extend the fun. We're gonna talk about all the different ways you can play playoffs fantasy football. But first, before we dive into that too much, you can also keep playing DFS as well. If that Week seventeen is really made for is this

it is for dfs? Now? My my over urging strategy is don't get cute with the teams with nothing to play for. Yes, you can go out and chase the Robert Griffin the third or even like the Dumpster Diver teams like, but you never know and there is some danger with that. Right. Does Miami decide they want to get a look at one last look at Josh Rosen right out one? You just cook, you know, you just you just started, Davante Parker. So I like the key in on the teams that still have something to play for.

And we can run through those really quick. So the teams that have made the playoffs but are locked in probably gonna arrest their starters. Baltimore, Buffalo and Buffalo, Minnesota fade all those guys teams that made the playoffs. But

it's still very fluid. I something to play for New England, Kansas City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Green Bay, Seattle, and even Houston, who can move up to three and knock out their division rival Tennessee and then winning in Tennessee and Philadelphia and in with some help is Pittsburgh, Oakland and Dallas. So those are the only teams I'm advocating for DFSC usage really because you know they're gonna play

to win to all their starters. You know there's some teams out there that may not be playing to win in Week seventeen. Oh yeah, like draft position change, there's you know, don't just avoid the mess of the Washington's and the Giants and the Jets and all that. What do you think about teams like Chicago playing against a Viking team that has nothing to play for? You know,

David Montgomery could easily go off. Vikings will be missing two of their starting linebackers and who knows how many by injury for injury, and then they might just rest most of the rest of their starting defense. Yeah, but you never know, like third string running back on the batters could be coaches pet and he's gonna get a run in this game. So there's so many unknown it's clearly not David Montgomery right. That much we can say

with a degree of certainty. All right, if you want to try DFS week seventeen, please go to famball dot com and we have super Flex DFS as well, which is super fun. Super Flex. So when you're playing playoffs, let's turn our attention back to the playoffs and playoff fantasy football first, just some overarching things, and then we're gonna actually talk about some of the formats you might want to try in your leagues. First, test drive new

ideas here. If you've got um, if you for your main league, if you've always wanted to try this thing auctioning, you want to update your scoring system to something else, you want to go PPR, if you want to try super flex, you know, whatever, This is the time to test drive those ideas with especially reluctant owners in your league, like the auction is a great example. People get all get there, get all nervous about an auction. It's gonna

take too long. It's it's too hard. I can't get drunk at the draft all that stuff, test drive the auction for your for your fantasy of the playoffs, and we always say it everyone should be auctioning in their regular leagues, but it's it's a scary notion for a lot of people to do that. But I love like dipping your toes in the water in the playoffs. But no one ever goes back from auctioning them don't when it goes back. So what scoring system changes or another one.

Maybe you want to try fantasy without kickers or with kickers, or you know, whatever you want to do, this is the time to do it. I've had a lot of people ask me if you can run a guillotine league in the playoffs, and I think you can. Why not? Um, this would be at has to test your water on the test the waters for a guillotine league. And here's how you do it. You'd start with eight teams and you had chopped two every week. I think you could do it with four teams and chop one every week.

But I think eight teams the bottom scoring two every week get chopped. I think you'd have to do large, big, bigger rosters here because you're not going to be redrafting, and you're not gonna be using free agency. You're gonna you're just gonna hold all the guys you have. But and part of the fun of Guillotine League really is is the redraft is getting going after those free agents. But so in a perfect Guillotine League, Brian, I think

you would. So if you and I get cut in the first round of the playoffs, all of our players become available, and ideally the surviving players could have a redraft of all of the players in the playoffs, including mine, including my guys that got dropped in your guys that got dropped you. Because you really wouldn't want to draft players on a bike in the Guillotine League, right, there's no super dangerous So you're gonna have to do a

redrafted for you every week. I think you're right, So, or you have to have really deep rosters so that you're bye week guys you know just aren't starters. You're not losing that much. One of the things as a broad top before we get into the specific things. Where to host these is a real problem for people. When we were talking about this on Twitter and I'm at Paul Charchi and Brian is at bt x J, people like, well, this all sounds great, but where do I play this?

And you know, for all of these great ideas, mostly I think you have two options. Play at My Fantasy League, which is free in the playoffs. It's a service that does all. It does everything basically, but it's not it's not the world's easiest service, but it's free and if you dork around with it, you'll probably get it to your settings. Or you're just gonna do it by hand. You're gonna do it all. You're gonna do it yourself.

You're gonna do an Excel, or you're gonna do it in a Google doc, or you're gonna do it by facts. If you're gonna you're gonna do it by smoke signal to the rest of the league, whatever text message. I think you're gonna you're gonna go old school on it. Yeah. The advocate for MFL my Fantasy League, I mean they charged what seventy bucks the league for the regular seasons of getting to do it for free. That is uh

as a definite bonus. And like you said, it's very customizable, a little tough to use, but you you get the hang of it pretty quick. Yeah. I like my Fantasy League and the people behind it. They're great. Um, although as you can probably do it offline ESPN and Yahoo. I look today Brian today and it's this is the week before the playoffs. As a recordings, they don't have anything live right now, but I think they both have playoff fantasy games. But you gotta play their style. They

gotta play their game and that's it. There's no customize ability. So I think a lot of us are doing on spreadsheet. That's my playoff league has been running on spreadsheet for twenty years, my playoff Fantasy League. So there's there's all of that. Let's not too laborious with only three four weeks of action and now, yeah, you can do it by hand. It's not too bad, and honestly, in some ways it for those of us that did it by hand for a long time in the eighties and the nineties.

For me that I did too, we've been you're young enough to have done that, Yeah, okay, then yeah, it's just yeah, it's a little it feels at old school. It's a little fun like it used to be. I wouldn't want to do it every week, but I don't mind do it in the playoffs. Broadly, in the playoffs

for fantasy football, you have two decisions to make. Are you playing a traditional fantasy style league with like eight teams and a draft or something like that, or are you doing a style of play Brian that could apply to a hundred leagues or a hundred players or a thousand players in pool leagues. So I'm broadly calling like fantasy style playoff leagues and then pool leagues. The pool leagues. Again, every unlimited number of players shared player pool in a

pool league. The fantasy style is is much like what you what we run during the season, all right, So let's uh, I want to break down some fantasy league styles here. First, here's the league I've been in for whatever reason. We'll call this the charge Fan the chart playoff fantasy league. Exactly six teams in each league because there are twelve playoff teams. That way, you can call them conferences almost right, Well, they're not really. Um, so there are six I I play with six teams in

my playoff league and the six teams. That means Brian gets two team quarterbacks. Because there are twelve NFL teams in the playoffs, I get to team quarterbacks. You get two team kickers. I get two team kickers, etcetera, etcetera. So the way I play is to two team quarterbacks, four running backs, four receivers, two tight ends, and two team kicker and two team defense. So that's that's the

format that I use. And once you take the Patriots quarterback or whichever team, then I can't take the Patriots quarterbacks and it's team quarterback because there's no pickups, there's no drops, there's no ads. You just you you draft everybody and you just score everybody that's still alive. Um, there's no moves, there's no bench. You just everybody scores.

That's that is how I play. Now do of a particular by by the way, as a as a side note here, do you have a preference for trying to draft wild card teams or avoiding wild card teams because that's the key delineator of success in a playoff fantasy team.

It is very polarizing strategy to either fade the playoff teams or draft that the wild card teams, I'm sorry, because it's one way or another they're gonna get bounced early or you have like as a as a former Giants fan or a Giants fan on hold, that's when the teams get hot going into the wild like and they yeah, and then you accumulate more points, and especially then we'll get into the formats where you know, the points double each round. You gotta sit on teams with

a bye until the second round. Even know, even though you get teams get double points, you get a goose egg in the wild card rounds you're not playing of course, But generally in general, I don't really know. It depends on the year really which way I'm gonna go with it depends on the wild card team. As of right now,

I'm not feeling too good about the vikings. I don't know, but in general I would still just don't even look at if they're a wild card, if they have a bye or a division winner, just how well I think they're gonna do moving board in the playoffs. And here's why I I draft lots of wild card teams, and here's why one I get four game upside. So the only way I can get The only way you can get four games out of your player is if it

go you go wild Card to super Bowl. And you may say to yourself, well, that never happens, but in reality it happens pretty often, like wy not ever every four years you've got a wild card team that gets to the Super Bowl. Maybe it's even one every three I should really run the analysis at some point. Um, you mentioned the Giants, the Steelers did it not that long ago. It's it's it's by no means impossible to do.

You really can do it. Um. So there's that, which is uh, which is one of the reasons I like it. The other is this. If I told you that, let's he took the the the Ravens, and the Ravens were gonna get knocked out, and they were gonna make it a the f C Championship game and get knocked out, you feel like, well, it's pretty good. I got to the a f C Championship game. I got one game away from the playoffs, but the Ravens only played two games. If I get a wild card winner, I got two games.

All I need is a wild card winner, and I got the equivalent of a team that got to buy getting to the championship game. You know what I mean. It's the same two teams, same two games. I'm looking for the number of games. I like the wild card teams. I would lean that way as well. All right, let's talk about some other options. You can redraft before every round starting in you can redraft basically, you know, you can have a full redraft after every round. This takes

a committed group of owners. Have you ever Have you ever done it this way? I have not. I would, I would be that committed, but I've had trouble finding owners that committed they would partake in this format. But I like, I think you do it in the office. Yeah, so you go, okay, every week of the season or every week of the playoffs on Tuesday, we're all going out to lunch every Tuesday, and we're gonna help draft for that week's games, and you pick whatever you know,

you pick whatever roster size you want. But it can be a smaller roster size if you're doing it this way, because nobody's gonna draft by week teams and by the time you get to the Super Bowl, you're only drafted. There's only there's only two quarterbacks we had now if you're gonna do it this way. One of the things that people will do, Brian, I find this in fascinating.

If you're gonna redraft after everyone, after, every after, every week, knowing that like there's only two quarterbacks of the playoffs, no roster requirement, none, you don't have to fill a quarterback spot, just all flex. It's an all flex roster. Why not you could just all flex roster whatever whatever. Yes, so then you can keep drafting all the way to the super Bowl and when the two quarterbacks go off the board, find you're just not you know, you're you're

gonna you're gonna go running back or whatever. So in all flex roster. So I think that works. Um, how about this as a variant, And by the way, thanks to the people on it, they gave me some of the variations they've got. As an in using an auction format, and you auction between every round, but the money you spend in the first round is gone. The auction amount does not reset. So if you save a bunch of money in the first round, you can go to the second round and get and and you've got you control,

you know, you might control the boards. You've got the

most money at that point. And what would you recommend just going cheap on wild card players in the first round and then saving all your money for the Lamar Jackson's and the But somebody could drive, somebody could auction Lamar Jackson in the first round, sit on him for a week, right, Although if you're doing a fresh auction with all new players, then yeah, you would save money knowing Lamar Jackson's coming, So you could do auctioning that way. But I like the part where you just don't reset

the cap between every round. You've given advantage of those people that have saved some money. All right, I want to take a quick break, and then I want to talk about the pool, so you can how you can play fantasy. How you can play fantasy to scare l to ten people or fifty people or a hundred people. Are a thousand people in the playoffs. When we come back right after this, okay, Brian, we're back Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charge and Brian Johnson. UM play if

you would the NFC postseason hold Him game. This is through Fanball. It's got a price pool of one hundred twenty five thousand dollars. I believe life changing life changing money in the playoffs and FC dot s h g N dot com. That's too hard, that's too hard, But yeah, that's what it is. It's the NFC postseason hold him and each week, the way it works is and by the way, it's two dollars to play, so it's not cheap to get into, but it's a hundred twenty five

thousand dollar payout um each week. The number of points an NFL player earns gets multiplied by the number of consecutive weeks that player has been on your roster. So again, if you can get that four week wild card run your multiplier, it's times four on your Super Bowl players who came from the wild card, which, by the way, that's how you win this thing. Yeah, I agree. Um again, it's the NFC postseason hold them. You can, um, you

can google that, you can you can. It's accessible via fanball or this FBFC dot s h and and f C dot s h g N. We got to have a better system than that. Sports Games Network is s h g N. Yeah, that's that's too hard, all right, so we encourage you to check that out. Let's talk about pools within your unlimited number of participants. I know you've got you've got some pools you want to talk about. I've got a couple of them here as well. Do

you want to go first or second? Well, mine is more actually around the teams and not the players, and there are a limited number of participants, So you go first, and then I'll go over it. People just want to, you know, are afraid to do fantasy for whatever reason. You can still just play playoff games with using the teams and there's a lot of fun thos do I know?

But still I do both. But al right, okay, twelve position here'saying so there's a pool that again you could send this off to everybody in your contact list, twelve positions to fill using players from all twelve teams, one player per team, So if you choose Patrick Moomes, you can't have Travis Kelsey, right, and so it's you. You know, you've got twelve positions, you know, probably the ones we

talked about before. Two quarterbacks, uh, you know, three running backs, to receivers to uh, two kickers to defense, two tight ends. You fill those out, but only one player per team and NF actual and NFL team um, and then you can So that's you know, that's one way to go, and then you just let that ride. Also, you just let that You just let that roster ride the whole time. So you would think kicker and defense or the two you could part with easiest, easiest, But maybe I don't

know if that's the Cowboys, but I don't know. It's funny you bring that up. Quarterbacks and kickers are way more valuable in playoff because they're sure points. And the reason we don't draft them very highly in fantasy is because all quarterbacks are the same, All kickers are the same, All defenses are the same, are they You know, they don't have a lot of variation, But when you don't have one at all because your team has been knocked out,

that's a huge differential, huge differential. And so I take quarterbacks early and all my playoffs stuff, and even the kickers and the defenses, and there are a lot of people that are so ingrained into not taking them. I think it's a huge advantage. Another playoff pool option. Every round is basically a redraft where you pick one quarterback, in this case a quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver,

tight end. For the playoffs. That's only one two three four four four positions, but you can only pick You can't pick a player twice. So you compare players together in the same week, like homes and kill. Yes, I can never use them again. Use them. You've got to figure out when you're gonna go pick your spots with those plays. And I like that angle. You could go a deeper roster than just one quarterback, one running back, one tight end, one one wide receiver if you wanted to,

including kicker and defense. But I like the part that you can't you can't pick another you can't pick the player against. You gotta apply a little strategy to that. Espen's got something called the grid Iron Playoff Challenge. It's a salary cap game, and players salaries increase every week, but you get to hold the old salary from whenever

you added that guy. So if you had a wild card guy and he's winning and winning his salary cap, his team's winning, his salary cap is gonna keep going up, but not for you because you locked him in early. This is a sitting on a players with a bye scenario. Again, we're like Lamar Jackson will be five bucks on his by and then ten, but you you get him for five if you just willing to sit out on that and sit on the player. Yeah, but we're we're you and I were kind of advocating not to do that.

I don't know. Yeah, I like having the games under my belt. I don't know teams all the times to Yeah, absolutely talk to me about this team based one that you're you're mentioned. There's two. There's a confidence pools and NFL uh they're called takeover pools. The competence pools are easy. You can have any number of users, players whatever in your league and you take all twelve playoff teams. Can you assigned confidence points to them? One through twelve. You

can only use one number each. And if I put a twelve on a team, it's my most confidence, the most confidence in that team, and every time the team wins, you get that points. And again, UH, teams that are on by a fewer opportunities to win. So there's strategy there. If you put your twelve points on a wild card team and they make a run, I think I would. I would be tempted to put my all my top six points, my numbers twelve, eleven, ten, at nine eight.

I think that's six. Maybe it nots for uh seven six all wild cards, every one of them wild cards. Now I don't have to figure out which wild card teams are going to advance, but I'd be rolling the dice that some of them are going to advance. And because one always gets hot, you could just say, well, you know what, I want the Ravens and I want the twelve points, and I would get that and I'd probably put the I. But if I'm in a big pool,

you have to go contrarian to some degree, don't you. Definitely? Definitely you know so pool size is a variable here too, right, if you've got a pool with hundred players, you have to go contrarian. You can't. There's a little bit like a March Madness pool. You have to at some point, you just have you have to get a little bit lucky, and you have to be the guy that's that figured out which underdog was going to win some games that

nobody saw coming. If you're in a small pool with ten people or eight people or twelve people or whatever, you can go and just make one contrarian pick. But yeah, I'm with you. If you want to ship the whole thing, you gotta you gotta be unique, stand out, and uh put more than one point on the Vikings, don't you think you right? I'm sorry to say that to this And we're better Viking fans here in Minnesota right now as they just got handled by the Packers. This one's

stung in a way that I was not. I was not necessarily prepared well in the takeover pool. What there's hope for the Vikings because the takeover pool involves the spread, so you can you Uh, it works best with twelve or six people. So either with twelve people everyone gets a team, or six people each get two teams at the started playoffs. Uh I, I suggest you pick them rather than like drawing out of a hat or whatever to a draft. But basically you have your two teams

like I have. Let's say the Vikings and the Saints play right, I got the Vikings plus six and a half. You have the Saints my cover. I take over your team even though the Saints won because I covered my six and a half. Yeah, I take your team over because the Vikings are lost there but the one for me. But I take your team over. And if I had the Saints and then just keep and I'm done. That's kind of cool. It's it's fun. And then whoever has the super Bowl winner against the read at the end

is the winner. Oh so it's just last team standing. However, whoever whichever team against the spread ended up winning, all right, so you gotta start with exactly twelve or six six? You gotta start with sex right, Well, he neither with twelve people, it's one team. We each have one team for the whole thing. Or with six people we have two teams. Couldn't go twenty four players, No, I could, because they don't all play at the same time. Twelve the most, I think, because the most games you have

in anyone you can do anything visible. By twelve, Really, we could do this head to head we each have six teams. Yeah, but right, that would be weird because then I have both my teams playing against each other probably in some but yeah, it's it's fun. It's easy, and it's fun. One other reminder for for any of these, any of these pool systems. If you want to simplify the funds for all these and especially these big pools

that could be fifty or a hundred, use leaks. Say, for the love of God, all you have to do is just send a link and everybody just pays on that link and we hold all the funds for the for the duration of the NFL playoffs and at the end you tell who won, and we released all the funds of the winners. It's couldn't be easier. And most these playoff leagues, it seems like people are playing for ten bucks. Twenty bucks man getting ten bucks from fifty

people who wants that. Good look, just use League Safe. We encourage you to try that. And by the way, there's a bunch of playoffs leagues. We have a classified system on League Safe, so that if you want to go join a playoff syste a playoff league of some kind. There's a bunch of playoff leagues that are looking for owners at League Safe in the classified area. We encourage you to check that out. Um, there you go. We're back every Friday, folks. It's gonna be super fun doing

Fantasy football weekly all off season. That'll I'm gonna be sharper rolling into next year's preseason shows and I've ever been and um, and that means we're gonna be breaking down all kinds of stuff throughout the off season. The free agency moves, you know, all the things that, you know, rule changes, format changes that we want to talk about, quilloteen leagues, the NFL draft, Bestball. We can start talking best Ball a DP practically right now. I know they're

they're going to that for another show. When do people start drafting best ball for? Basically when the confetti starts falling at the Super Bowl? Alright, it's about it, all right, it's early February, it starts going, it's unreal. And then next week and although throughout the playoffs we'll break down more of the actual games that are happening fantasy style and talk through that a little bit for DFS players and just other people who care about what's what's coming

up from from a game impact standpoint. Now for those in the Crush Charts Championship on fanball dot Com, if you're not in the Crushed Charts Championship because still play DFS on fanball dot Com, of course, I got like three or four players real quick, can I throw them out there? Some favorites were me at each position. And again, these are teams that are playing for something. These are

only the players I'm targeting. Ryan Tannehill at Houston three touchdowns and three straight for Tannehill, including Houston two weeks ago, Houston getting flamed by virtually everyone at secondaries old and not good, and Houston might fold up shop in a game that Tennessee desperately needs to win, winning in so unlocking Tannie Hill, Hill and all my lineups all right? Running Back Alvin Kamara Over the last five weeks, Carolina conceding a hundred and nine plus combo yards and two

whole touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. Camar didn't score in the first meeting, did top a hundred comboy yards, but in his previous four against the Panthers total five touchdowns. I think he goes off. But wait, how expensive is he? He'sily, he's upper echelon back. It's gonna be like seven thousand something. Or he's affordable. Though he's affordable. But what about Littavius Murray, who's dirt cheap and backup runners get paid against Carolina

because they're so bad? I like it? Why not both? Well, yeah, the rare running, the rare running back stack. It might work, it really might. And Murray has done nothing for weeks. Nobody's taking Littavius Murray right now. I like it. I like that cult charge Berry Concherion and and you know the Saints are going to the playoffs, why not work Littavius Murray and a one sided affair against Will Greer in which they're gonna be ahead. Why not save Alvin Kamara up for the playoffs. You need him to be

special in the playoffs. You need him to be healthy on that that ankle he's been nursing all season long. Why not run Latavius Murray. You've containst me the flip flop, I like, all right? Real quick receiver Julian Edelman at home against the Dolphins. So Miami slot corner Joe Maul will wilt wilts well, and he's out, Oh he's out. He's too bad this week. Well, I don't know if

they have anyone. Well, there's there's somebody. There's somebody wearing a number that starts with a two or three that's gonna try to guard him. And God don't even knows who that guy is gonna be. But he's worse than Joe Moo Wilts. My guts telling me this, regardless of it's Joe Maul or Joe Joel Moleman. Edelman quiet in the first meeting. It's not It's not Hans Moleman. I'm pretty sure I was seeing bootenns Uh. Edelman quiet when

New England won forty three to nothing. Under standable, but his previous five against Miami logged at least seven catches in every game, at least seventy yards, receiving total five touchdowns in those five games. I like Edelman a lot. Only worries just the you know, the usage has been so low with him because he's got so many injuries head, shoulder, chest.

I believe he was field enough last week though, right, I don't have a snapcount in front of me, but just the usage the last few weeks has been low. He hasn't popped off in a while. I just feel one coming in week sevent. Yeah, I look the matchup. The matchup certainly sings. What about Brady. Nobody wants Brady, right, he's been so mundane roughly. I looked this up a couple of days ago. He's going to finish in most of my league's right around quarterback in that range. Brady

is nobody's interested in him. But obviously the matchup those golden and you know Miami wins this. There the Clints the number two seed, so they'll have no problem just yeah, I'm sorry. New England will have no problem running it up and you know, airing it out because they're gonna have a bye week coming up. So yeah, I like

the Brady called too. And then lastly, my boy, Jacob Hollis or a tight end uh at home against San Francisco the Hammer Game, the night game for the NFC West Championship eight for sixty two in the touchdown when these teams met in Week ten, and over the last four weeks, the Niners defense has fallen off and really as they've yielded the most red zone target gets end touches to opposing tight ends who have collectively averaged six catches for sixty nine yards and one whole touchdown during

that four weeks span. So, Jacob Hollis, Niners defense has been much worse broadly, not just tight ends broadly lately, but they've also been injured all over the place. I think they get virtually everybody back for this one. Richard Sherman came back for most of the last game, Kwan Williams, d Ford. They've been you know, it's been, they've been you know, the injuries have been really a problem for them. But I think they're getting healthy now and then perhaps
