PlayoffBlitz is a playoff fantasy football league for the NFL postseason. It runs four weeks, from Wild Card weekend to the Super Bowl. Each week you set a lineup of eight players from the teams still playing, and you can start each player only once.
Most points after the Super Bowl wins. No draft, no waiver wire, no roster to babysit.
Create a LeagueThree things to know, and you know the game.
Every player on every playoff team with a game that week, available to every member at the same time. Nobody drafts and nobody owns any players.
The pool shrinks each round as teams are knocked out. Twelve teams play on Wild Card weekend. Two play in the Super Bowl.
Set a new lineup every week. Eight starters, the same every round:
Each NFL player can be started only ONCE. Start a quarterback on Wild Card weekend and he's gone, even if his team goes all the way to the Super Bowl.
So the question each week isn't only who will score the most. It's who will still be playing later, and who to start now.
Fewer teams every round. That is where the strategy comes from.

Most playoff fantasy football leagues start with a draft. Everyone has to be free on the same night, and a fixed number of teams split up the players.
PlayoffBlitz has no draft and nobody owns any players. Every member picks from the same player pool every week, so a league of six and a league of sixty play exactly the same game. That's why every league has unlimited members.
There's nothing to manage between games, either. Log in, see who's playing, pick the eight players you think will score the most, and you're done until next week.
If you've run an NFL playoff pool with brackets or squares, this is the fantasy football version. Instead of picking teams, everyone picks players.
One commissioner starts the league and invites everybody else, and the members join free. Nobody needs to know fantasy football to play. If you watch the playoffs, you know enough to pick a lineup. The office football pool page has more on running one at work.

Playoff fantasy football is fantasy football played during the NFL playoffs instead of the regular season. On PlayoffBlitz it's a four-week league with no draft. Each week you set a lineup of eight players from the teams still playing, each player can be started only once, and the highest total after the Super Bowl wins.
Nobody owns any players. Every member picks from the same player pool every week, so two members can start the same quarterback in the same week. The limit is that each player can be started only once, and that's what makes the lineups different.
Four weeks: Wild Card weekend, the Divisional round, the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl. Points add up across all four, and the member with the highest total wins the championship.
As many as you like. Every PlayoffBlitz league has unlimited members, and the league fee is the same for six people or sixty. Members join free.
The whole week locks when the first game of the week kicks off, so every lineup has to be in before then. Commissioners can make exceptions at their sole discretion.
No. If you watch the playoffs, you know enough to pick a lineup: a quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, a kicker and a defense. There's no draft to prepare for and no roster to manage.
Yes. One and done is the fantasy world's name for this format: pick any lineup you like each week, and use each player only once.
Create a league, invite as many people as you like, and set your first lineup before Wild Card weekend.
