Ask the Expert Question: Assuming a single draft for the entire postseason, who should be the No. 1 pick in a playoff fantasy football league?

Assuming a single draft for the entire postseason, who should be the No. 1 pick in a playoff fantasy football league?

Peyton Manning has to be your first pick. Denver with home field advantage is the favorite to make the Super Bowl and the scoring potential for Peyton makes him a top pick. Marshawn Lynch at RB looks great if you cannot have Peyton.
