I play in a fantasy playoff league where these are the rules:

You have a roster of QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DEF for each the AFC and the NFC. You can only choose one player from each team to fill a spot. And when you choose your lineup, you stick with that lineup for the entire playoffs. So you want to balance studs vs people who will play many games. How would you guys construct your lineups? I figure everyone will be choosing Aaron Rodgers so I'm going Drew Brees

AFC:
QB - Tom Brady
RB - Ray Rice (can't imagine this being anyone else)
WR - Mike Wallace
TE - Jermaine Gresham
K - Neil Rackers
DEF - Broncos

NFC:
QB - Drew Brees
RB - Michael Turner
WR - Victor Cruz
TE - Jermichael Finley
K - Jason Hanson
DEF - 49ers

My thoughts for the AFC are that I have to play Brady since the other choices are not good plus he prob has best chance of Superbowl. Ray Rice is the only Baltimore player I would start and Wallace is pretty safe at WR (might even do Brown). TE I think Bengals win so I choose Gresham and punted K and DEF.

NFC I think is a lot tougher. I want Drew Brees, he will torch the Lions, have a game up on Rodgers and can easily get to the superbowl. I know Calvin is enticing at WR but I think I only get one game out of him and I could get two out of Victor Cruz. I consider Jermichael Finley another WR and he fills the TE role nicely but I could see myself going with Ahmad at RB, Jordy Nelson at WR and Tony G at TE. Kicker is w/e, 49ers D only because I don't think they win a playoff game and I'm not confident in Frank Gore.

Thoughts? How would you make your team.

have to have one from each team

Actually I think you nailed it except I would use Houstons D because you will have a better chance at two games from them. For everyone else, you pick D's and K's that won't go far because they statistically speaking should score the fewest amount of points over the long and short haul compared to all other positions. You want big points plus you are forecasting how the playoffs will go.

QB-Rodgers
RB-Turner
WR-Cruz/Nicks
TE-Graham
K-Hanson
D-49ers

QB-Brady
RB-Rice
WR-Brown
TE-Gresham
K-Prater
D-Texans

The hardest was NFC QB for me. Brees is more than likely looking at Det/@Niners/@GB. Rodgers will probably be NYG or ATL/Saints or Niners/ SB. I like Rodgers matchups a little better since Brees will be away from home after 1st round and Rodgers is at home until the SB. I could probably be persuaded to change my mind, but QB is the probably the most important position to keep alive in the NFC so I would lean towards Rodgers. If you think NO will win at GB then obviously keep Brees.

Jesus dude, Crosby @ kicker?

AFC:
QB - Tom Brady
RB - foster
WR - Mike Wallace
TE - Jermaine Gresham
K - prater
DEF - ravens

NFC:
QB - Drew Brees
RB - Michael Turner
WR - Victor Cruz
TE - Jermichael Finley
K - Jason Hanson
DEF - 49ers

without putting much thought into it, id prob only switch your afc. even tho i would bet the bengals if i had to, i think foster has more upside than rice. i think you cuold really argue either way, and i think id end up flipping a coin between the two. i think your NFC team is the only way to go tho, but you could switch finley/brees for rodgers/graham. again pretty much a flip tho
