2021 Playoff Fantasy Football Roster Construction

Hello Heat Seekers, welcome to episode 121 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast.  I am your host, Rob Sullivan.  The Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat Family of podcasts. 

With the season being done, its time to take a look at NFL Playoff Fantasy Football.  I know that most of you likely do not participate in playoff fantasy football. The format is no where near as popular than the regular season long formats. 

That is ok, as I have always said play whatever type of fantasy you prefer, there is no format that I am aware of that its worth playing.

There are numerous styles of playoff fantasy, and the format we in the 2020 ROTOHEAT NFL PLAYOFF LEAGUE is one player from each playoff roster.  When building your roster, you can NOT choose more than 1 player from any single team.

The league plays with PPR scoring as all RotoHeat leagues do, and each roster will consist of 3QB, 4RB, 4WR, 3TE

The players you select will be used for the entirety of the NFL playoffs. When a player’s team loses, you no longer accrue points for that player. During the Super Bowl, all teams will only have two players still playing.

There is still time to enter our league, entry is $25, and the league is run by RotoHeat founder Rick Butts and the league fees are held over on Leaguesafe.com. Head on over to our Facebook page for information.

I thought I would bring you this bonus episode to discuss playoff roster construction.  There is a method to the madness, simply put there are 6 games this weekend and you will lose 6 of your players and carry 6 more into the next round.

These type of playoff leagues are typically determined in the first week.  Successfully predicting the winners on Wildcard Weekend.  The reason for this in my opinion is that you need to get the most out of the 6 teams in which your roster will drop after this weekend.

Because the NFL re-seeds after each round this is the lone week that we can set our lineups based off of matchups.  I’ll review each matchup and give you my thoughts on which player or players I like off each roster .

Indianapolis Colts @ Buffalo BillsLine: Buffalo -6.5Over/Under: 61.6

I like the Bills to win this game, I could see the Colts covering the spread and I like the over.  Since I have the Bills winning, I need to hit on the Colt I select.  I don’t see any scenario in which I do not grab Jonathan Taylor.

Taylor finished the season strong and he is likely the leading fantasy scored in this one off Indy.  QB Philip Rivers is not going to throw much, his WRs are hard to trust and the TE are not on the fnatasy radar.  Taylor is the one for me rather easily.

When it comes to the Bills you have a decision to make. Are you targeting QB Josh Allen or WR Stefon Diggs?  You have 3 QB slots on your roster, and 4WR slots.  I won’t question anyone who takes either of these two players, but for me its Josh Allen. 

I see the Bills in the Conference Championship and its going to be Allen that gets you there...
