For most of you in standard-scoring leagues, unless your commissioner is one of those two-week-playoffs kind of people, this is the postseason, and it’s survive and advance no matter whether you made the playoffs or not. You’re either playing to keep in the dance, or you’re striving to avoid the last-place slot - or, as is the case in one of my leagues, the shame punishment that comes with finishing dead last.
