Any fantasy manager who has played for any amount of time knows about the championship week blowup games. Certain players go nuclear, and anyone rostering them rides to the title. The winning manager might even donate to the charity of the player’s choice. For those going against that explosive player, well, comes the urge is to go back to bed and wake up in time for baseball season.
As with so much that happens in the fantasy playoffs, timing is everything. There’s no way to predict in August/September drafts that these performances will happen during the perfect week, which is Week 17 for a vast majority of leagues.
