Who are you starting wild card weekend?
(For those unfamiliar, you get a multiplier for starting the same person 2 weeks in a row and 3 and 4 etc)
I'm going with:
Qb- Wilson
Rb- lynch
Rb- Johnson, David
Wr- Baldwin
Wr- brown
Te- gronk
Def- Seattle
K- gast

If I started someone on a bye do I get double points the next week as well?

You will win if you can correctly predict the SB.

I'm all in on the Cardinals and Patriots

QB - Brady
RB - Johnson
RB - White
WR - Edelman
WR - Fitzgerald
TE - Gronk
K - Gostkowski
DEF - Arizona

good deal, I love this little contest, fills the fantasy void till next season.

My lineup:

QB- Big Ben
RB- AP
RB- David Johnson
WR- Doug Baldwin
WR- A Brown
TE- Reed
D-KC
K- Haushka

Do you try and pick all winners every week to get the bonus?

Last year was boring because everyone just loaded up on pats and Seahawks. I tried to differentiate by going packers, nearly paid off.

RB is tough this year. Some of the better ones I don't expect to make it out of RD 1 and the others are meh or timeshares

You aren't rolling with anyone actually playing this week?

I think I'm going to load up on steelers. Getting the multipliers in that offense is a solid gamble IMO

I'm not...I will only win if those teams make it to the SuperBowl.

For example, let's say I went with Russell Wilson and he gets knocked out in the NFC Championship...let's assume he gets 20 points per game

20 x 1 = 20
20 x 2 = 40
20 x 3 = 60

He would score a total of 120 points

Then I could take Tom Brady (or someone) in the Super Bowl and he would get 20 x 1 for a total of 140 points at the QB position.

Instead, I'm going with Tom Brady...let's assume he scores the same 20 points per week and makes it to the Super Bowl

0 x 1 = 0
20 x 2 = 40
20 x 3 = 60
20 x 4 = 80

He would score a total of 180 points > 140


If my logic/calculation is flawed, someone please help me, lol.

This is my first time playing, and I'm in a league with about 15 guys with a $100 entry fee. Do you think the "pick the SB" strategy is effective for a small league like my, or more for a league with a large number of players?

The group I am playing in is small, albeit a free one. I wouldn't change my strategy if I were playing for money.
