I'm in the championship game after a tight race to the playoffs (finished 8-5):

My lineup:

Aaron Rodgers
Adrian Peterson
DeAngelo Williams
Jarvis Landry
Amari Cooper
Jeremy Maclin
Jordan Reed
Broncos Defense
Cairo Santos K

My biggest moves were trading AJ Green and Doug Martin for AP and going all out with an auction bid for DeAngelo Williams when I lost Le'Veon Bell & Arian Foster :(

I forgot to handcuff DeAngelo when someone dropped him off his roster when Bell came back from suspension.

Made it to the playoffs (3rd) and went pretty close to your tips on the first page... by the end of my draft , I had like 5 RB and 4 WR. Turned out to be good too since McCoy has been hurt the first part of the season and Charles went out before he was lighting the league on fire....

mistakes
-QB - got a little antsy and took brees in the 5th. Should have gotten different QB
-May want to go RB, then WR in my league since we have 5 point bonuses for 100 yards, and 3 point bonuses for 150 yards. But I guess this depends on my draft position
-TE - should have waited longer as I picked up Delanie Walker off the waiver wire. Can't remember who I drafted

Oh well, it's funny, in our league, the top 4 teams are like 200 points over the rest of the league, mostly due to WRs. If I had a more consistent QB and WRs, I would have easily been first place. Charles, McCoy and Gurley have pretty much carried me through the season.

Yea, I have Brees in one of my leagues. Kind of a disappointment this year. And basically all my TEs I ended up grabbing off the waiver wire. There were definitely a few surprises on the WR side. Allen Robinson from JAX being #5, or both NYJ WRs being top 10? I don't think anyone could have predicted that. And there were a lot of RB injuries this year which skewed both the RB and WR numbers.

I was looking at the top 25 for both WR and RB, and there are more WR with more than 100 points than RBs. And I am thinking maybe with this league, I should go RB first, then WR, then RB again. I guess it all depends on draft position though.

So, I haven't logged into my fantasy leagues at all during the last two games of the playoffs.

Out of 6 leagues:

2nd. 8 team standard snake.
2nd. 8 team standard snake.
Champ. 10 team auction.
4th. 12 team snake.
4th. 10 team auction.
7th. 12 team standard.

Not bad. I was no worse than 4th in 6 of those 7 leagues going into the playoffs.

It really wasn't that big of an issue. There really weren't any major changes I could have made to my lineups at that point.

Rule #2 - Unless you have near back to back picks, you're better off drafting RBs with your first two picks, then grabbing second tier starting WRs.

Dont agree, I grabbed Jamal/Lesean this year, Jamall got injured, and Lesean was great for most of the season, but i was stilla ble to get Jonathan stewart SUPER late, and i think i even picked up Doug Martin off waivers at some point in week 1 or 2..

I would have won my league if i would have drafted Antonio Brown/ Julio Jones instead of Jamall/lesean considering i was starting Doug Martin/Jonathan Stewart and Lesean

We had QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,HB,TE. didnt have enough good receivers.

It was a bad year for RBs. Lots of injuries this year.
