I think everyone should post these with a list of available kickers on the wire from here on out.

I snuck into the playoffs in my PPR league and now going up against the top seed. I lost Rawls and maybe Stewart but I have been holding RBs just in case so I might be okay.

Currently starting Alshon, Amendola, Forte, Hightower and flexing John Brown. With McFadden, Gio, Stewart, and Langford on my bench. I think I might sit Stewart even if he is okay to play because the Panthers might be playing it safe and I really don't like McFaddens matchup. Any recommendations?

Sounds like Bryce Brown is the guy now. Hope you're okay with fumbles and inexplicable bounces to the outside when the O-line hole is right there.

I saw that someone in my league added D. Harris on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to drop Duke Johnson for a Seahawks RB and when I heard about Brown being in the rotation Monday I said gently caress it and added him.

Turns out it was Dwayne Harris that the other owner picked up not DuJuan Harris. Dumb luck.

He'll probably suck but hey, a #1 (lol) back against the Browns at home might pay off.

Watch him get benched for Fred Jackson after 2 fumbles and 5 yards in the first quarter

I would probably put Hightower above all three, and flip flop Bolden and Brown. It was Tim's ball come Hell or Hightower. I would go Bolden over Brown because the Seahawks have gone into full on aerial assault mode and the Brown fumblitis.

Yeah, the more likely scenario is that they just hand the keys to Wilson and it turns into a pass-first offense, plus Brown's flaws are well-documented.

Add him if you want but don't blow your waiver priority.

I need to pick up a Tight End in case Eifert is out this Sunday which seems likely. Who would you guys rather have for the last two games?

Richard Rodgers @Oakland / @Arizona
Zach Miller @Min / @TB

Also, Hauschka has been pretty useless lately with the Red Zone offense doing a complete 180. Would you take Chris Boswell or Matt Prater for the last two games? I'm thinking Boswell would be a solid option?

Good luck with that.

Boswell has been the top kicker since getting to Pittsburgh and everyone should go snatch him up.

Would you folks play Bortles or Stafford this week? On the one hand, Stafford is a mess. On the other hand, he's playing the Saints.

My brain says Bortles but my greedy greedy heart says Stafford. (I could also try to waiver Fitzpatrick or Winston but they seem eh)

I have that same decision, though I was leaning the other way. NO's defense is awful, and Stafford has not been that different than Bortles since the DET coaching staff got fired. Bortles is at ~21.5 points per week, Stafford is at 20.8 in that 5 week span. With that said, I can see both of them doing well and I don't have much confidence in one over the other.

NO defense hasn't been as bad as before since the coaching change so i'd say Bort these last two games. His schedule is better anyway and the Jags might actually win these last two.

Benching Palmer for Bort worked out for me this past week, but I think I've got to go back to Palmer against Philadelphia next week right?

I got pretty lucky and am matched against the lowest scoring seed all year that's made it to the playoffs (which probably means he's going to have the highest score this week and win). I'll be pretty disappointed if I crawled back from starting 1-6 just to get knocked out in the first round.

I have Palmer and the only reason I'm not starting him this week is because I also have Cam Newton. Fantasy Pros has Palmer at #4 in their QB rankings this week.

Squeaked into the playoffs and am facing the #1 seed and commish. Tentatively putting Bryan Brown as my flex over Draughn and Moncrief. I'm depending on Sanders, Shady, and Forte to all produce for me the same week.

Well I didn't get D. Rob because being first in a "reverse order" Waiver league basically means I never get who I want... however the team going up against the leading scorer in the playoffs did so I guess that's the next best thing.

Reverse order waivers seem like the worst idea ever, even more once it's already the playoffs and the bottom seeds are getting to add guys to beat the top seeds with.

I got Bryce Brown and Bolden. I'll have to plug one of them in if Jonathan Stewart doesn't play. The guy I'm up against in the playoffs this week got Fred Jackson in between those two picks and another guy got Denard first.

The dude I'm playing is going all in on Seattle v Cleveland, it's crazy. His rostered players this week include
Russell Wilson (Sea QB)
Doug Baldwin (Sea WR)
Tyler Lockett (Sea WR)
Fred Jackson (Sea RB)
Steven Hauschka (Sea K)

Having lost Dalton, Ingram and now Yeldon, I squeaked into the last playoff spot. Figured, "Well, I'm getting whatever RB I want"

The team in 12th, who hasn't made a move in 3 weeks, claimed Denard and Bryce. I smell collusion. Or just an idiot.

Who's Bryan Brown?


Anyway, what type of ranking are we assigning Bryce Brown in PPR this week? Comparable to recently slumping Gore/Woodhead, or Matt Jones, maybe a Fozzy Whit?

Smells RB2, 2.5? Somewhere in the late 20s? Then again, I'm not sure I could name 15 better PPR RB's this week.

I'm fine with it but only in certain circumstances - keeper leagues (maybe? I don't know, never played keeper/dynasty) for example, or if your league has a bonus at the end for total points, or if they're in the loser's bracket (which is kind of still "in" the playoffs). Or if it's something like swapping out injured IDPs, who cares.

I think in general though once you're in the playoffs, if you're swapping out starters for WW adds you're most likely in big trouble anyway - but I do agree it's lame for a completely out team to take players just to screw you over additionally.

So my yahoo league uses reverse standings waivers (terrible idea, don't do this). Whatever. Last week was the first week of the playoffs. 6 teams make it, 1st and 2nd place get a bye. Two teams were knocked out. Well waivers cleared today and the 2nd place team got the first priority, followed by the 1st place team , followed by 6th, 5th, 4th, etc.

Anyone know why this is? It seems weird that the best two teams get a bye AND first waiver priority.
