Title: Playoff Help
Post by junkyard872 on Jan 13^th, 2005, 8:38am

Im in a playoff league with a total of 7 teams.

We start 9 players QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,TE,K DEF, COACH

you can have one free agent pick-up the whole playoffs.

DO I WAIT ??? OR DO I TAKE ONE OF THESE GUYS???

I lost Tomlinson and D.JAckson in the wild card round.

SO i have 7 remaining players

Who should i pick if any??

TJ DUCKETT and STEVEN JACKSON are avaliable

NATE BURLESAON AND DEION BRANCH

I go with either of those 4 or i wait till next round but there willl be 5 other teams that get a chance to pick this week after me

PLEASE HELP

Let me understand this correctly... you start 9 players each week, but you only have 7 on your roster right now and will lose more as the teams lose in the playoffs?

If so, then I guess the best players to pick up are those who you expect to play the most games. Of the 4 players you mentioned as available, I think 3 of them will not play past this weekend (I think the Rams will win, and the Pats, Falcons, and Vikes will lose.) However, Steven Jackson has a bad knee and might not be practicing this week.

Will there be more players available next week, or will it be the same names (minus anyone grabbed by another team next week)?

Steven Jackson also has sore ribs. Duckett was a decent call. Get the points while you can, right?

I agree with lumberman. Duckett was the right call... if you had your heart set on picking someone up this week. Just letting it go another week might not have been a bad call, too, however. Good luck!
