Sterling: Whoever first claimed that the NFL season doesn't really begin until after Thanksgiving probably played fantasy football. Most fantasy leagues begin their playoffs this week, with the exception of those who perilously decide to keep playing in Week 17. Given that most trade deadlines have also passed, you're probably stuck with your current roster, for better or worse.
But what if you weren't? Andrew and I thought it would be fun to do a pre-fantasy playoffs redraft. With just four games left (again, minus Week 17), matchups are going to play almost as large a role as actual ability.
