Football Hotpage Week 14 – You Probably Made (or Didn’t Make) the Playoffs if…

Ten Reasons Why You Did (or Did Not) Make the Season-Long Fantasy Playoffs:

1. You probably did not make the playoffs if you drafted Le’Veon Bell and did not draft get James Conner.
2. You probably made the playoffs if you drafted James Conner and did not draft Le’Veon Bell.
3. You probably didn’t make the playoffs if you drafted a quarterback in the first eight rounds.
4. You probably made the playoffs if you drafted Patrick Mahomes (100 points better than the second-highest scoring QB) in the ninth round or later.
5. You probably did not make the playoffs if you drafted Leonard Fournette or Dalvin Cook in the first round.
6. You probably made the playoffs if you drafted Patrick Lindsay late or spent all your FAAB money to get him.
7. You probably did not make the playoffs if you drafted a bunch of rookie wide receivers (WRxx in my two NFFC leagues):
   1. DJ Moore WR48 WR61
   2. Anthony Miller WR49 WR49
   3. Michael Gallup WR 50 WR54
   4. Courtland Sutton WR 59 WR55
   5. Tre’Quan Smith WR61 WR50
   6. Christian Kirk WR65 WR70
   7. James Washington WR66 WR64
   8. Antonio Callaway WR 70 WR74
   9. Calvin Ridley WR 72 WR69
8. You probably made the playoffs if you drafted Travis Kelce or Zack Ertz (likely in the late third round or early fourth round) — 100 points more than most other tight ends.
9. You probably did not make the playoffs if you drafted the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in the eighth round.
10. You probably made the playoffs if you were fortunate enough to get Tyler Boyd off the waiver wire.

With eight games on the early slate and five games on the afternoon slate, I have constructed two lineups targeted for DraftKings single-entry GPP contests.
