The Playlist for Week 20

♟️Playoff Strategy

The road to fantasy playoff glory comes down to planning and adapting to the nuances of Week 20’s schedule. Prioritize quality games over quantity, target streamers from the Warriors, Bucks and Nets, and don’t be afraid to drop fringe players who aren’t contributing this week.
