Wrap-Up

With strong fantasy playoff schedules, these are potential playoff buys. Some have good schedules before the playoffs anyway. But some of them with rougher pre-playoff schedules should be acquired with caution if you’re not a lock for the playoffs. You can check out your article on playoff sells here.
