2025 FFPC Playoff Challenge: Data To Build A Winning Lineup

Playing in the FFPC Playoff Challenge? Below you'll find team strength, matchup, and fantasy production data to consider when building your teams.

Team Strength Ratings

Correctly predicting which teams advance throughout the playoffs is key to a strong FFPC Playoff Challenge lineup. It's particularly important to nail the two Super Bowl teams because players in the Super Bowl get double fantasy points. So you'll likely need the two highest-scoring players from the Super Bowl teams on your roster.

To help project who will advance through the playoffs, here's how each team stands in these team strength metrics:

• DVOA
• ESPN Football Power Index
• Elo Rating
• Pro Football Reference Simple Rating System
• Number Fire nERD

Positional Matchup Data

Projecting which players will have the best matchups throughout the playoffs can boost your team's score. Here's how every defense fared in adjusted fantasy points allowed to each position through Week 17. (A positive number means the defense boosted scoring at that position; a negative number means the defense reduced scoring at the position.)
