The fantasy playoffs are upon us and the decisions we make will be the most important ones of the season. A correct choice means advancing to the next round while a misstep means your season is over. The advice that follows are general recommendations across all scoring formats.  When in doubt choose the player in a better offense with a better matchup.

It seems wrong to write anything about football without making note of the unimaginable tragedy in Kansas City last weekend.

I suspect we won't really know why the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide happened for a while – maybe never – but it's a sobering reminder that maybe we shouldn't like football so much. Reports have come out that Belcher was suffering from concussion symptoms, and you have got to wonder how much "getting his bell rung" over and over again had to do with what happened. Not to mention how Romeo Crennel actually managed to coach a football game so soon after seeing that.
