Postseason Fantasy Football

[Relena Peacecraft]

With another week gone by, the optimal team has changed. Well, not really, because I'm assuming 7 trades, and that's enough to completely change your roster once. So trades only become a problem next week. Anyway, here's that optimal team:

Week 1
QB Daunte Culpepper
QB Peyton Manning
RB Tatum Bell
RB LaMont Jordan
WR Kevin Curtis
WR Reggie Wayne
DEF Minnesota

Week 2
QB Donovan McNabb
QB Michael Vick
RB Corey Dillon
RB Warrick Dunn
WR Kevin Curtis
WR Marcus Robinson
DEF Atlanta

This combination of players would have resulted in 5148 total points, and cost $34.34 million the first week, and $34.25 million the second week. Now, what happens if you aren't allowed any trades? I know our game isn't like that, but it is a common game played. So using this scoring system, here's that optimal team:

QB Marc Bulger
QB Daunte Culpepper
RB Tatum Bell
RB Warrick Dunn
WR Kevin Curtis
WR Reggie Wayne
DEF New York Jets

This team costs $33.12 million, and would have earned you 3774 points so far. As you can see, trades are important. Just wait until later weeks.
