How to Fantasy Football: The playoffs

-
by Zac Schmelzle

Throughout this blog we have been leading up to the playoffs, the most important part of the season. Here is where you battle through the bracket of teams to win the championship, and the seeding is based on records of each team.

Unlike the NFL playoffs, the fantasy football playoffs generally start at week 14 or 15 depending on the size of the league. During this time no trades and waivers can be claimed. Your team now is the team you ride with.

In most leagues, the playoffs will determine the draft order for the next year. If you feel like your team is bad, then your best bet may be to tank the playoffs for a top pick next year. If not, then shooting for the gold will always get you credit from your league.

We have gone over the most basic of parts when it comes to fantasy football, and hopefully, this helps you to succeed in your first fantasy football year and the many that will come after. How to draft, and how to play the waiver wire as well as how to trade. With this knowledge, the championship is in your grasp.

Photo by Regina Cassell The Cassell family has invaded College Avenue! Welcome to Media Bootcamp, Fall 2016 edition! This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11.

The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazine...

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG! photo by Darrin Hartford Darrin Does It I'm very excited to start my new blog and be able to share my vast wealth of information on not only automotive stuff, but household repairs including DIY Pinterest type projects as well.  I definitely have a knack for fixing things, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I like to keep that a secret.  A good handyman should have no problem keeping themselves busy.   I have been taking things  apart as soon as I was able to hold a screwdriver.  For a while I could only successfully take things apart but, as the years went on, I was able to reassemble the things I had taken  apart, much to the joy of my mother.  For whatever reason, she did not enjoy seeing her hair dryer, toaster, TV, microwave, vacuum cleaner...etc. torn apart.  :)   As the years went on, I eventually landed a position in the automotive business as a technician.  I began my career at...

The internet has made many, many wonderful things possible. Yay technology. One of these things is a concept we call crowd sourcing or crowd sharing, etc. Robust user-friendly templates allow users all over the world to begin a fundraising campaign literally in minutes. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Sharon Sullivan is a professor in Washburn's Theatre department. She has a passion for helping empower all kinds of people. One of her heart causes happens to be families who have found themselves battling domestic violence. She has a goal to reach $1,000 for her cause through a website called CrowdRise. Others exist such as GoFundMe, etc. She set up her page and then reached out to her friends through email and Facebook. Check it out:  https://www.crowdrise.com/ywca-ne-ks-purple-purse/fundraiser/sharonsullivan4 As an assignment, please share another way crowdsourcing is used by COMMENTING on this post. (Things other than fundraising.) Please limit your answer to one th...
