Shawn Siegele breaks down the Underdog playoff format and gives his early take on the teams and players to target.

Our plan of attack in 2022 was extremely successful with high initial advance rates balanced by full remaining lineups for later rounds. The early plans became so popular that they were no longer available to late drafters.

With playoff ADP always shifting and 24 hours of exploitable drafts before the majority of games tomorrow, it’s time to dive in.
