Fantasy Football in the Postseason
At Fantasy Postseason, we offer a number of different options for those who want to keep playing fantasy football during the NFL playoffs. There are three basic configurations that most commissioners use.
The most common and also most basic is the Player Pool - the further your players advance, the more points your fantasy playoff team scores. This is a simple game format and is especially good for a large number of participants.
The second format that is growing in popularity is the Start Once format. Managers can start anyone they want each weekend of the playoffs, however they can only start that given player once throughout the postseason. There's a lot of strategy with this approach and usually keeps managers highly engaged throughout the entire postseason.
Finally, you'll see a number of Salary Cap format leagues where managers build their teams with player salary considerations. There's strategy and deliberation with this approach too - especially as managers look for those value players.
Beyond the three basic models described above, most options are configurable. Over the years we've learned that often commissioners want to tweak settings so we try to accomodate this as much as possible. If you have an idea or a suggestion for a new option or feature, please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll see what we can do.
