So it looks like with just one regular season game left, I will be able to control my destiny into either the 3rd or 4th playoff spot out of 4. So which of these teams would you prefer to face off against Week 15 and Week 16?

Week 15:
Team 1
QB: Brees vs Arizona
WR: Brown vs Cin
WR: Crabtree vs SD
RB: Freeman vs SF
TE: Brate vs Dal
Flex: Ajayi vs NYJ
Flex: D. Murray vs KC

Team 2
QB: Ryan vs SF
WR: Nelson vs Chi
WR: Baldwin vs LA
RB: Elliot vs TB
TE: Witten vs TB
Flex: L. Bell vs CIN
Flex: Gore vs Min


Week 16
Team 1
QB: Brees vs TB
WR: Brown vs Bal
WR: Crabtree vs Ind
RB: Freeman vs Car
TE: Brate vs NO
Flex: Ajayi vs Buf
Flex: D. Murray vs Jax

Team 2
QB: Ryan vs Car
WR: Nelson vs Min
WR: Baldwin vs Ari
RB: Elliot vs Det
TE: Witten vs Det
Flex: L. Bell vs Bal
Flex: Gore vs Oak

I would rather face Team 2 each week.

It would be one in Week 15 and the other in Week 16. It's a 2 week playoff. So playing Team 2 in the semifinals is my best bet to get to the Championship?

I think if those teams were playing each other, week 15 would be pretty much a tossup with the edge going to Team 1. Week 16 looks to be a better matchup for Team 1 than Team 2 by about a dozen fantasy points.

If I were you I would rather play Team 1 out of those two, but that choice wouldn't be up to me as I would just play to win every regular season matchup and face up against whichever team draws my number in the playoff seeding.

Edit to add:
I thought you were playing the same team twice each week (weird I even thought that as championship would be one week during week 17....). I would rather play Team 1 week 15 then Team 2 in week 16 if that's how the cards fall.

I would not want to face this team in week 16:

Week 16
Team 1
QB: Brees vs TB
WR: Brown vs Bal
WR: Crabtree vs Ind
RB: Freeman vs Car
TE: Brate vs NO
Flex: Ajayi vs Buf
Flex: D. Murray vs Jax

too many awesome matchups for those players especially the top four

How tiny is this league? These teams are stacked.

Relative to perceived draft position, I could see both of those teams being drafted up in a 10 or 12 team league preseason.

Another node of data for what an absolute crapshoot FF really is.

10 team league:

My team (not as good as the two top teams)

QB: Brady and Big Ben
WR: Julio, Cooper, Pryor, Moncrief
RB: Miller, Howard, Martin, Rawls
TE: Olsen, L. Green

I think I'd want to play Team 1 first, then Team 2. Elliot, Bell and Ryan could easily beat you no matter what, but their matchups are harder in Week 16

Well it worked out this week. The first week of the playoffs (semifinals) I play Team 1.
