Fantasy football playoff cheat sheet

By David Ferris

Below are complete fantasy football rankings, considering scoring potential for the ENTIRE playoffs. They are based on a combined yardage/scoring system (4 points for a passing touchdown, 6 points for a rushing/receiving touchdown, one point for every 25 passing yards, one point for every 10 rushing/receiving yards).

* = check status

The first element of a Fantasy Football Playoff cheat-sheet is a ranking of the teams by "game potential." That list will have significant weight to how the skill players are ordered, and it's just about all you need to construct your kicker and defense ranks. This playoff cheat sheet was constructed on the assumption of a Patriots-Cowboys Super Bowl, and it's also making the assumption that the Titans, Giants and Redskins have long-shots at best to win this weekend. If you expect different results, your personal list will reflect as such.

Enjoy the second season, and good luck with your playoff pools.
