Time for the 2008 Post Season Fantasy Football League

Post Season Fantasy Football

The playoffs may be the crown jewel of NFL football, but for every fantasy player out there, it's frankly kind of a letdown. Fortunately there is now PLAYOFF FANTASY FOOTBALL. Here's how it works.

You select a fantasy team using the rules below. Teams share players in common (i.e. everyone can have Tom Brady, if they want him), and you gain fantasy points like in a standard fantasy league, however, once a player's team is eliminated, he's gone, so the trick is to balance talented, high scoring players with players that are likely to play in the Super Bowl. Is a one-game-and-done Ladanian Tomlinson better than a potential 3-game-playing Marion Barber III? That's for you to decide. And if you are worried about everyone simply picking all New England Patriots, don't. You may only possess a maximum of two (2) players from any one NFL team, and you may not have more than two (2) sets of teammates. So, you can have two (2) Pats and 2 (two) Cowboys, but everyone else on your team is flying solo, so to speak. Here are some rules:

1. You can have 2 players from the same team, for two NFL teams, max.

2. Defenses will start with 4 points, and lose points for giving up points. They cannot score negative points.

3. You get to select:

1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (TE/WR), 1 K, 1 Defense

4. Teams/rosters will be picked once before the playoffs start, and then will be frozen for the duration of the playoffs. If a player's team is eliminated, he is not replaced/redrafted. If a player is injured, he is not replaced/redrafted.

5. Scoring:

6 per TD rushing/receiving

5 per TD passing

2 points per 25 yards rushing/receiving

2 points per 75 yards passing

1 point per 3 receptions

2 points per any part of a 2-point conversion

3 pts per FG

1 per PAT

-1 pt for the first turnover, -2 pts for the second turnover, -3 pts for each subsequent turnover.

7. Scoring is done on a PER GAME BASIS. If your RB has a 95 yard game and then a 20 yard game, he is credited with 6 points, not 8.

Defensive Scoring:

6 for defensive TD, 4 pts for a safety, 2 pts for a pick, 1 pt for fumble caused (only if a turnover results),

1 pt for fumble recovery (two points for the whole thing), 1 point for a sack, -1 point for every 7 points allowed. A DEFENSIVE TEAM CANNOT SCORE NEGATIVE PTS IN ANY GAME. THE LEAST PTS SCORED BY A DEFENSE IS 0.

Those are the basics. If there are any disputes we have Rule 1A: What the commissioner says is final.

To sign up, sign up on the back of this sheet, and E-MAIL your lineup to Paul.Noonan@Gmail.com. Please E-mail your lineup in the following form:

QB - Frank Quarterback (GB)

Note that this process is manual, and thus scores will not be updated instantaneously. 10 bucks a head, winner take 3/4, second place takes 1/4. You must pay me by the start of the first playoff game next Saturday, and you must e-mail me a lineup before the kickoff of the first playoff game. No exceptions will be made.

Checks should be sent to:

Good luck to everyone!

Manny Holds On To Win

1. Manny - 198
2. James - 185
3. Erin - 180
4. Dave M. - 179
5. Tim - 173
6. David/Patrick - 164
7. Anne G. - 161
8. J.B. - 154
9. Jeremy - 149
10. Paul J. - 148
11. Nick - 144
12. Holly - 139
13. David H. - 130
14. Jason Y. - 109
15. Paul N. - 90

Standings

Manny still holds the lead, but many of you made up major ground in game 2. James is still a big threat with a one man advantage over the top 2, and watch out for Erin who was the only player to get the maximum number of players (4) into the Super Bowl.

Congrats again to the Bears, and especially to Lovie Smith who called a great game, keeping it on the ground, letting Grossman air it out deep a few times (this is his best passing skill) and going for it on fourth down at the right time. That said, I hope they up being a historical footnote as the team that got Peyton Manning his first Super Bowl win.

However, the Bears simply don't lose to teams with bad defenses, and the Colts have a baaaaad defense. So while I hope they lose, I predict that they will win. And handily.

Anyway,

1. Manny - 178 (2)
2. Dave M. - 167 (2)
3. James G. - 165 (3)
4. Tim K. - 158 (2)
5. Anne G. - 149 (2)
6. Erin B. - 147 (4)
7. David/Patrick - 141 (3)
8. Paul J. - 141 (2)
9. Jeremy M. - 137 (2)
10. J.B. - 132 (3)
11. Nick - 127 (2)
12. Holly T. - 117 (3)
13. David H. - 105 (3)
14. Jason Y. - 99 (2)
15. Paul N. - 83 (1)
