Sorry I don't know how to ask the question better. I mean there are 54 teams in the Classic playoffs, how many have Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, etc. I thought someone usually posted that for each contest but haven't seen it yet, thought i would ask before i took the time to do it. Thanks

I considered doing this, but I'm not sure it'd paint an accurate picture because we can only see current rosters, which don't include key players who are no longer on their teams (i.e. due to I/R). For instance here is Chris Lam's #1 scoring team, which averaged an amazing 190 PPG!

QB Manning, Eli QB NYG 20.4
RB McFadden, Darren B OAK   13.4
RB Moreno, Knowshon RB DEN 12.5
WR Green, A.J. WR CIN 20.8
WR Decker, Eric WR DEN 14.6
WR LaFell, Brandon B CAR   10.8
TE Gonzalez, Tony TE ATL 16
F Witten, Jason WR/RB/TE DAL 14.6
DST DST, Denver DST DEN 11.1
K Bironas, Rob K TEN 8.4

Vick, Michael B PHI   21.8
Bradford, Sam B STL 18.9
Foles, Nick B PHI  11.9
DST, New York (N) B NYG 10.3
Young, Titus B DET 9.6
Jones, Donald WR BUF   9.3
Brown, Bryce RB PHI  6.8
Smith, Kevin B DET 5.6
Peerman, Cedric B CIN   4.7
Hillman, Ronnie B DEN 4.2

Obviously, he got a great late surge from Bryce Brown. But even with his couple great games, does it look like a team that averaged 190 PPG? It seems to me that he must have lost some key players to injury after they'd contributed, seeing even using the best average PPGs from his current roster totals only 142.6 points. I'd guess he had McCoy and McGahee on this team too?

That said, at a quick glance of the playoff teams, Peyton Manning sure seems to be on a lot of them, so those who took the risk on him have surely seen ample reward. Ditto for Peterson.

Mike S. is one of the best at illustrating this, but I venture to say a lot of the qualifying teams have PManning, AP, RG3, Trent, CJSpiller, or Gonzo on their rosters.

Thanks Bill. I think you're right about who the key players probably are. I'd add Luck to that list too (the person, not the noun ). Probably Martin too (I was obviously dead wrong on both rookie RBs; touche Tom! ).

I have some time tonight that I can put something together with current rosters. KJ, are you planning to do it already? No sense in both of us doing the same work. Or would you like to split up the contests?

Ironically.....my teams got better after losing McGahee, l McCoy , Danny amendola and mike Vick.....lol

You're looking at the wrong page. The 190 includes the 50 he got last night from MOreno/Decker/Denver.

Ahhhh... thanks.

If I don't hear back from kjduke today, I'll put a spreadsheet together tonight.
