Sprints Will Start Tomorrow

3-Week Championship Round Will Decide $5 Million in Prizes

Congrats to all of the teams in both the FFPC Main Event and the Footballguys Players Championship this past weekend that were able to snare their individual league crown. I also wish the best of luck to all playoff teams in the ancillary, VP Money, dynasty and satellite leagues this coming week as well.

With Week 14 upon us, every single classic format FFPC and FPC league has now entered the playoff stage of the season, so it's going to be a fun three-week ride leading into the holidays. The FFPC, FPC, Consolation, and Toilet Bowl leader boards are all updated as well, so you can see where you currently stack up among the rest of the field.

This week begins the most thrilling three weeks of fantasy football. More than $5,000,000 will be awarded in the FFPC's two major tournaments alone. Weeks 14 through 16 will determine the $500,000 FFPC Main Event winner and the Footballguys Players Championship $500,000 winner, as well as countless other prize winners. Championship round winners will be determined based on each team's combined total points scored during weeks 14, 15 and 16 added to its one-game average from the regular season. Good luck to you all!'

The World Famous Challenge Returns

Out of this year's Championship Round? Not to worry! Registrations are live for the 2020-21 World Famous FFPC Playoff Challenge. Don't forget that you'll be able to apply your regular season winnings in your account right now to the Playoff Challenge as well.

NEW THIS YEAR: The Challenge will have 12 starting roster spots rather than the 10 starting roster spots in a typical FFPC starting lineup. The two added starting roster spots will both be FLEX spots (Flex can be RB, WR or TE). This change has been made to account for the two additional NFL Playoff teams for the 2020/21 NFL season. With fourteen total playoff teams and 12 starting roster spots, each entrant will need to fade two teams, which has always been the case for the FFPC Playoff Challenge.

The main details of the Challenge are listed below:

• Entry fee: $200 per team
• Contest capped at a maximum of 6,250 entries
• $500,000 Grand Prize
• $1,092,250 in guaranteed prizes paying down to 700th place
• Contest runs from the start of the NFL playoffs thru the Super Bowl
• Each team consists of 12 players in an FFPC starting roster format (plus two additional flexes)
• Each team chooses from 14 playoff teams but only 1 per team
• All rosters will be locked on Saturday, January 9th at 4:35 pm ET
• No roster adjustments will be allowed even for games starting later
• For more details, see the full rules and payout structure on the contest page linked right here.

In this episode, we talk about whether Devin Singletary is the back to own in Buffalo, which Titans receiver makes a better start in Week 14 and more.
