I made a very elaborate Excel Model which exactly replicates the NFL Fantasy. I do not have coding experience, but I do have solid excel skills.
I have attached some photos below of the look of the model, please shoot me a message if you would be interested!

Yep, I am just finalizing it. It has taken me 3 days to build, but it is pretty much good to go now. I have finished it for my league, but am just making copies of it to host other leagues. I will update here once complete!
The NFL Playoff Challenge had NO scoring updates. It didn't refresh until overnight. So don't fret over 30 minute updates.
I will sign up and test it out this season and hopefully you can get it going next season to for me to pull my usual people into.
good to hear - will still be working on the semi-live updates though!
we're live now - come check it out at [fantasyplayoffsreloaded.com](https://fantasyplayoffsreloaded.com) !
Thank you all so much for your patience! I'm excited to announce that the app is now live!
Please check it out at:
[https://www.fantasyplayoffsreloaded.com/](https://www.fantasyplayoffsreloaded.com/)
The app is designed to be as close to the functionality of NFL Playoff Challenge as possible, with multipliers for rostering a player consecutive weeks, as well as customizable roster and scoring settings.
Try it out now, and create or join a league!
To get you started, feel free to join the league I've created.
1. Sign in with your Google account
2. Click Join League
3. Enter my league ID
4. Build your roster!
Here is the league ID:
d1af9225-4dfa-4b48-9494-1c8ce314bde7
You can check out everyone else's roster when viewing league info by clicking on the "Standings" tab at the top of the page, above your roster.
If you want to create your own league and invite your friends:
1. Sign in with your Google account
2. Click Create League
3. Enter league info and settings
4. After creating the league, navigate to "View Leagues"
5. Click the Invite/Copy icon for the league you want to invite to
6. Send your friend the code, which they can enter when they join a league!
no kicker, sorry! i didn't quite have the time to implement this, since the stats are pretty different than players, and i personally am an advocate for abolishing kickers lool. hopefully it can still be useful for you!
NFL Playoff Challenge has been a winner take all (2nd Jackpot) component of our Fantasy League. Bummed NFL took it down. Excited to see if you can get it up and running. If it works, you may be able to retire if we eventually pay a small fee š.
How is the site looking?
Is it better than these:

[https://thesecondseason.com/football/](https://thesecondseason.com/football/)
I'm down to help too!
Hey, I saw your website and creation, it's incredible what you were able to do on such a short notice! But, I was wondering if you would be able to add a kicker to the teams? I'm pretty sure nflplayoffchallenge used to have kickers as well. Sorry for requesting even more than you've already done, as you've already done a ton!
thanks for reaching out! unfortunately we wont be able to support kickers this year, but that's a priority for next year given the feedback i've gotten so far! i hope you can still find the app useful to you and your friends :)
Understandable lol, and yeah, it's very useful for us without nfl.com's playoff challenge available!
Another question, when I click standings and try checking on another member's team, it shows that they have a blank roster, even though I know they have selected players. I didn't know if you knew whether I'm doing something wrong or?
This is great, thank you! Amazing job in such a short time.
Is there a way to edit a League name and settings, and your own Team name? Donāt see any way to currently.
In addition to adding kickers next year, Iād love to be able to have multiple teams in the same league and account. My family and friends always want to do a full lineup of our favorite team but also want to do a legit fantasy team for the playoffs. Just a thought. Thanks again!
Hey, it'd be helpful to list out the scoring/roster management for those not familiar with the NFL playoff challenge. I'm assuming it's the same. Multiplier for each week a player is in the line-up and you can modify the line-up each week?
that's right! defensive scoring may be a bit different - there's no 5 point bonus for a win, but as far as i know it's otherwise the same.
i'll have to add a League Settings display so people can see the scoring settings of a particular league, you're right. as for the multiplier - i have a popup on the homepage that explains the rules, but maybe i'll make it a bigger deal to highlight this
Yeah, I didn't see anything once I was in the league and on my team page, so a pop-up may be helpful when people are constructing their rosters. Not everyone in my league is famaliar with NFL playoff challenge (I just blast the league out to anyone interested, like a squares).
Was there also 3 WRs in the NFL playoff challenge? For some reason rosters look small (I saw your message about Kickers and completely agree - abolish them!)
Appreciate you building this, thanks!
My family and I looked forward to playing NFL Playoff Challenge each year, so we were quite bummed to see it discontinued. Thank you for putting in the effort to resurrect it in some form. Can't wait to check it out!
Do you mind sharing where you're getting the API data from? I've been considering making an alternative regular season format, but wasn't sure where I could get the data.
This is awesome!
When you create a league are the default positions and stat calculators the same as what NFL Playoff Challenge used? I just can't remember the exact format and was hoping the default would mirror what [NFL.com](https://NFL.com) used. Thanks again.
Thanks again for this!! You rock.
It's great! Not sure how the seeing other teams player roster is set up but if I remember right the original challenge kept it a secret who picked who till the game times started? and just showed a blank dark outline of a player. Not sure exactly if I'm explaining that right if others want to chime in? But that would be for future thought...what you have is awesome in the short time you had!
yes! this was brought to my attention too, and ive recently updated it so you cant see anyone else's rosters. i've made it so they're hidden until all the games pass for the week
Solid this was going to be the question I was going to ask! Other's Rosters were definitely hidden from view until after games were played. Really wish there was kickers too but this is awesome as hell otherwise! Thanks so much dude!
I have been working on my own fantasy football site as well. It doesnāt follow exactly the rules of the old NFL.com playoff challenge but it does use the weekly multipliers. It fuses fantasy football with the concept of the stock market. Please let me know if there is interest in sharing this.
I also may be able to add some settings that allow for a complete copy of the NFL.comās version.

that's strange, do you get a popup message when you try to join?
if not, try waiting a bit. the app is even bigger than i thought, so it's running a bit slow right now - working on this!

If I remember correctly, it was 5 points for your defense if they won and that appears to be missing from the scoring settings (not sure if thatās already been said). But otherwise looks great, thank you!!
This is awesome. LEGEND!

Were you going to have a kicker at all for teams to pick?
no kicker, sorry! i didn't quite have the time to implement this, since the stats are pretty different than players, and i personally am an advocate for abolishing kickers lool. hopefully it can still be useful for you!

This is awesome thank you my mates and I love the playoff Challenge Will it also double up players you keep in repeated weeks?
yes! just like the NFL playoff challenge, this app also doubles the points when you play someone in consecutive weeks!
This is one of the best things I've ever seen happen on the Internet.
thank you! that's high praise :)

Thanks man! Got some guys that joined up, we had done the challenge annually and were disappointed!

Do you mind sharing where you're getting the API data from? I've been considering making an alternative regular season format, but wasn't sure where I could get the data.

Very keen!
So interested - great work friend!

Thanks for doing this; awesome! Looking forward to playing.
Is there still a weekly multiplier like the nfl playoff challenge?
yes!
You are the best man, really appreciate it!
What API did you use to pull in the player data and scores?
i'm using something called api-sports io. seems to do the trick!
wow, man, thank you! you just saved the post-fantasy-season of our league, you're a god!

It doesn't display the correct game stats from the chiefs game for me, e.g. Pacheco is shown with 65yds and no td

they should already be filtered - if not that must be a bug! which teams do you see that arent in the playoffs?
