But I mean, I think an argument can easily be made for everybody. Ethan in New Jersey, what do you think about playoff receding? The NFL does it? Shouldn't our fantasy leagues do it as well? There's an argument for it, but there's something that I really like about being able to add another layer of strategy in there.

Inside the episode
99 passagesby knowing and being able to look a week or two in advance of like, oh, I'm playing this guy and in that week. I know he needs a tight-in. If you got to play the entire field, I feel like it takes an element of strategy that I really enjoy in the playoffs out. So I would vote no receding. Yeah, I lean towards no receding because once you're into the second round of the playoffs, all the teams left should have strong rosters. Now, there's outliers all the time for,
for life. So there could be an outlier team in your playoffs. But for the most part, you're going to have four really strong teams left in the second round of the playoffs. And like Jason said, that being able to know, okay, this guy, this is who I'm coming up against in a week. This is who I'm going to be playing in two weeks. There's just, there is an element of planning that I can use with that information. So that's how I like it. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. I think.
Yeah, like Jason said, there are different arguments for it. I think in some regards, I like the idea of receding because as a top seed, you always feel like you deserve to play the least good team. Is that the proper way to play? The situation, the problem with that for, let's say, our league, we have three divisions. A division leader gets a top three seed automatically. Now, in our league, the third division winner.
has a worse record than the wild card teams. And the sixth seed. So are they necessarily a better or worse team because they're a higher ranked seed? No, but you're right. But the NFL doesn't reseed division leaders. They recede week one of the playoffs. Right. Which is what I think you would want to do in that situation. But I'm fine either way. So do we have any other questions here? Are we done?
I think that's it. All right, that's it for the show today. Thanks for listening. Tomorrow, we'll have our fantasy forecast or starts of the week. Get you ready for week 14 in those playoffs.
