"Roster decisions in the fantasy football playoffs are tough. And sometimes we get a little too emotional about -- or attached to -- a player because of his name, where we drafted him, the team he plays for, etc. So, we keep him in the lineup and ignore the numbers that demonstrate the player is trending down, right? And then we wonder why we get knocked out in the first round. Season over. See you next summer. The end. We've all been there, yeah? I have. Bad decision-making, it gets you beat in the tournament."
"For managers in ESPN standard leagues, you're playing in a two-week window for the first round (Weeks 14 and 15), which means roster decisions include different variables. Maybe you're up big after Week 14 and stick with the high-floor types, instead of chasing the upside. Or vice versa. The idea here is to make decisions based on your team needs."
Fantasy playoff roster decisions require objective evaluation rather than emotional attachment to names, draft position, or team affiliation. Two-week windows (Weeks 14 and 15) create different strategic choices, such as prioritizing high-floor players when holding a lead or chasing upside when behind. Single-week playoff starts make lineup moves decisive for continuing to the next round. Identifying recently declining players and selecting better replacements can prevent early elimination. Specific players are highlighted as potential sits for Week 15, and midtier alternatives are recommended based on composite PPR rankings.
