    The scoring is over all 4 weeks of the playoffs, and I'm in a bit of a hole after last weekend (Colston, Bowe, etc...)

    Scoring is pretty standard, 4 pt QB TDs, everyone else 6. Some bonuses for long runs/catches if they're TDs. Kickers get 3 for fgs, 5 if it's beyond 40, and 10 if it's beyond 50. DSTs get 2 for turnovers, 1 for sacks, 6 for TDs, and 10 for a shutout. Lineups are 1 QB/2 RB/3 WR/1 TE/ 1 K/ 1 DST.

    Any thoughts here? I'm down by 30 after 1 week, so I need to pull out some high-scorers that very few other people have.

    On the other hand, it's a 4 week season, so I have to have a big week this week no matter what.

    43 entries @ $100 per, so it's a substantial prize pool.

    QB: Seems like it's Rodgers of Brady almost certainly. I'm leaning towards Rodgers.

    RB: Love Forte this week. Not a huge fan of Rice or Mendenhall with the matchups. Thinking about Green-Ellis for spot 2.

    WR: Jennings seems pretty obvious. Also like Wallace a lot. Currently have Knox at WR3. Jenkins strikes me as a decent longshot.

    TE: I'm assuming everyone will have Gronk/Hernandez here. I'm leaning towards Heap.

    K: Crosby or Bryant seem safest.

    DST: Chicago seems obvious, and NE probably has a chance to score some points also.

    Any thoughts? Sleepers? Thanks in advance.

    so if a kicker gets two 50+ yard field goals, its the equivalent of a QB throwing 5 touchdown passes? Nice league.

    Yes, agreed it's pretty stupid. Vinatieri had 19 points last week. I had Folk, who I thought would have a shot at a 50+ (which he very well could have missed), until Caldwell got down on the TO.
