Fantasy Football Playoff Ranks

Tuesday, December 30th 2008

By Chad Lawton

Below are complete fantasy football rankings, considering scoring 
potential for the ENTIRE playoffs. They are based on a combined 
yardage/scoring system (4 points for a passing touchdown, 6 points for 
a rushing/receiving touchdown, one point for every 25 passing yards, 
one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards).

* = check status

The first element of a Fantasy Football Playoff cheat-sheet is a 
ranking of the teams by "game potential." That list will have 
significant weight to how the skill players are ordered, and it's just 
about all you need to construct your kicker and defense ranks. This 
playoff cheat sheet was constructed on the assumption of a Steelers-
Panthers Super Bowl (albeit New York's chances are right there with 
Carolina), and it's also making the assumption that the Eagles and 
Ravens will probably win this weekend (while the Vikings and Dolphins 
probably make early exits). If you expect different results, your 
personal list should be adjusted to reflect those opinions; 
handicapping the winners and losers ahead of time is critical to 
success in any fantasy playoff pool.

Enjoy the second season, and good luck with your teams.
