Many fantasy leagues have their playoffs the last few weeks of the regular season. Over the next few weeks I would like to address the 'playoff' schedule a few times. I want the analysis to be tailored to your rules, your formats, yours teams and your concerns so please post your playoff schedule questions in the 'Article Feedback' forum.
Looking at a team's schedule may help your chances of finding a good injury replacement. Here are some of the high and low ratings for teams over a two, three and four week period starting February 13, 2009. The rating is shown in brackets. Two weeks High ratings: Rangers(8.91), Blue Jackets (8.61) Low ratings: Wild (4.95), Flames (4.66) Three weeks High ratings: Capitals (11.68), Blue Jackets (11.36) Low ratings: Ducks (7.81), Thrashers (7.62) Four weeks High ratings: Hurricanes (15.31), Capitals (14.83) Low ratings: Thrashers (11.51), Ducks (10.86) | Friday, February 13, 2009 to Thursday, February 19, 2009 | | Best Bets | | Columbus 5.66 -
