It’s time to win a championship

As the National Football League schedule hit week 15 last week, it was also the start of the fantasy football playoffs for many make-believe GMs out there, including me. I have three shots at claiming a championship this season.
As players work through the regular season fighting for playoff position against their friends, family, and co-workers, many involved in some sort of paid league, the money is only made once you make the playoffs.
I made the playoffs in all three leagues I participated in, sitting with the No. 2 seed and a bye in my 12-man keeper league, and the No. 3 seed in another. I just snuck into the postseason in my third.
With most of the season without my two top draft picks in one of the leagues (Christian McCaffrey and Puka Nacua), I can finally say I escaped what most teams experienced (a rough season) since neither player saw the field much in the first 10 weeks of the season.
As I sat in anticipation of a first-round bye as the two seed, my focus shifted to a two-week playoff in my other league. In my opinion, I like the two-week-per-round format as it not only allows for a team to bounce back after a sluggish first week or vice versa, but it ensures that no lead is ever safe.
Since I started this league back in high school, I’d like to say that I’ve had my moments in good and bad ways. One year, I started 0-7 but finished that year 6-8 and also held two third-place finishes in the last two years and a championship back in 2019. The time has come for me to collect another gold medal.
I hope everyone enjoys the final weeks of the NFL regular season and the fantasy playoffs for anyone who participates.
