Who's in, who's out?

I'm in an awful place.  Only one of my three teams is still alive, and my players are relying on Alex Smith, Joe Webb, and John Skelton to get them the ball.  Ugh.  Vernon Davis has zero catches in the third quarter.  I HATE the 49ers coaching staff.

Anyway, last year I received some positive feedback about my reflective columns about which players were and were not on playoff fantasy teams in my three leagues.  This year, I again played in three, and these are the players that made the playofss in all three leagues.

Note:  Players had to contribute in a difference-making manner to be considered...

Ben Roethlisberger
Jon Kitna
Sam Bradford
Matt Forte
Chris Johnson
Jamaal Charles
Darren McFadden
LeSean McCoy
Marques Colston
Greg Jennings
Dwayne Bowe
Terrell Owens
Wes Welker
Donald Driver

That's it.  Pretty interesting, and certainly a who's who when it comes to breakout performers this year.  With the exception of Michael Vick, Hakeem Nicks and Arian Foster, I'd argue that many of these guys have been THE difference makers in leagues this year.  McFadden, McCoy, Bowe and Owens certainly exceeded expectations, and isn't it interesting that Chris Johnson had a down year and it was still good enough to get it done?  Makes a nice argument for just taking the best guy in an auction and then letting the chips fall.

Next week, we'll look at players than made the playoffs in none of my three leagues.

Cheers,
TFAM

#1 value pick from that list, Run DMC.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe TO. In finding a fantasy MVP I need more consistency, so that's probably Foster or Vick. Why does DMC disappear some games?
