A Roto-Look Ahead – Week 20
Tom Reeve
2009-02-13
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)
