A two-time champion in a hardcore keeper league, including some know-it-all media "experts", who just so happened to finish 3-10 in said league this year, Adam Boedeker gives his fantasy expertise on a weekly basis.
Sure, the conventional fantasy football season has come to an end, leaving folks scrambling for the next eight months to come up with a clever new team name. But there's still fantasy football to be played as the postseason kicks off Saturday afternoon with one of the best sports weekends of the year — NFL Wild Card weekend.
As we talked about last year at this time, I'm part of a pretty fun style of fantasy playoff football which allows you to select a team made up of the following: Team QBs (ex: Green Bay QBs — if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt, you have Graham Harrell), then a RB, WR, TE, K and Defense/Special Teams. The catch is that you can't pick more than one player from one team, and once a player's team is out of the playoffs, you obviously quit getting points from that position. Whoever has the best total score after the Super Bowl wins.
So let's take a look at the top three players at each position with not only individual talent taken into consideration, but also the expected longevity of the players' teams' playoff runs.
Team QB: Denver, New England, Green Bay
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson
WR: Andre Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Michael Crabtree
