Broncos, Seahawks in heavy Playoff Challenge rotation

Michael Fabiano: I am going all in on the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks to reach the Super Bowl, so my lineup is loaded with players from both of those rosters. The strategy here is simple - while I know I won't receive any fantasy points in the Wild Card Weekend, I'll get double points from all of my starters in the Divisional Round. If both of these teams advance to the Conference Championship Round, those points triple. Should one or both of those teams get to New Jersey, I'll get quadruple the fantasy points for the big game.

Marcas Grant: You'll probably hear this a lot -- if you haven't already -- but I'm going with a mixture of players who I think will stick around the postseason for awhile AND be productive. Sure, I'm not going to get any points for the first weekend, but I hope to come roaring back when my guys pick it up with double points in the divisional round. And yes, I'm aware that the history of No. 1 seeds making it to the Super Bowl is pretty sketchy. But in a postseason that seems so wide open, why wouldn't I pick the two sides that have been the most productive?

Adam Rank: My strategy is rather simple; find the teams I think can go to the Super Bowl and ride their players. So it should come as no shock to you, dear reader, that I have the 49ers going to the Super Bowl. If that happens, I'll have four rounds of goodness from these guys. The lone exception to this team is Eddie Lacy, just in case the 49ers do lose. But then again, if the 49ers lose, I'm not going to be in good shape anyway.

Top picks: Seeing the roster of the most popular choices across the Playoff Challenge game is basically a who's who of the top fantasy scorers of 2013. Of course if you've rolled with this as your particular lineup, it's a guarantee that you'll have to swap some guys out in the second week. So here's hoping those players whose teams don't move on post really big numbers before becoming one-and-dones.
