Welcome to the Wild Card Round edition of The Worksheet, a fantasy football overview, by Rich Hribar.
For those that are new to this article, just because the fantasy regular season has ended doesn't mean that fantasy football stops. The fantasy playoffs offer a host of new opportunities for playoff leagues, props betting and daily fantasy games. If you're new to fantasy leagues in the postseason, I've already provided a primer on how to approach those leagues with full postseason rankings available.
As the author, it’s imperative that I note that this is an expectations-based column over a linear start/sit forum. The labels for each subset of players for each game is simply the vehicle for those expectations and have a different context for each player.
This article will be updated throughout the week to reflect major news or injury implications. I encourage that you use the game by game tables and data points here in conjunction with the player rankings that will be available every week this season on Thursdays and enjoy the games.
