Familia, I know it’s cold in most of the country. We’ve even gotten way over the regular allotment of rain that we’re used to here in California. But now that we’re in the playoffs, it’s a great time to break out the indoor grill and get some carne asada sizzling and into some tacos so you can enjoy the games.

You hear about it all the time. Teams sneak into the playoffs as the sixth seed, get hot at the right time and win three games to get a title. I did that last year and because of injuries I fielded a team with Taysom Hill at QB and Jaret Patterson as my RB2, and they both balled out to win me a ‘ship.

Every decision counts this week. You’ve heard the stories of the razor-thin margins that teams have won and lost championships past. I once lost a title to a tie-breaker. And won a title by two points. Another time I was up against prime Emmitt Smith, who looked like he was on his way to a big game when he suffered a minor injury in the first half of his Monday Night football game. I coasted to a title when he was ruled out at halftime.

You’re in the final four of your fantasy playoffs. You could be the top seed coming off a bye week, where you largely left your roster alone until you saw that Jalen Hurts could be missing this week’s game with a shoulder injury. Or maybe you’re a #6 seed that snuck into the playoffs and rode Zay Jones and Jerick McKinnon to a resounding victory over the #3 seed. You’re here, and there is more work to be done.

Here’s Part 2. I planned on breaking this up into a couple articles, but life took over, so you’re getting the whole enchilada at once. I really tried hard to be even more discerning on who’s ADENTRO and who’s AFUERA because I know these roster decisions are really crucial this week.

Another reason to love December is that period after the college football conference championships are done, and we start to get some NFL action on Saturdays. More satellite games where we can focus on just one game at a time. It’s a nice preview of what it’s going to be like when the playoffs are here.

I’ll give you a personal example of what can befall a playoff team just before the most important games of the season are here. Monday Night Football, I was cruising with a 20-point lead with only the winner of the game making the playoffs.

I’m with you, Familia. Estoy con ustedes. With six teams on bye this week, the NFL schedule makers did us no favors. Major players like Jonathan Taylor, Justin Fields, Christian Watson, Terry McLaurin and Chris Olave are just a few of the players who are mandatory sits for you this week. OK, it sucks, but the playoffs don’t wait.
