With the NFL adding a Monday night playoff game, we are pushing back the waiver time for 'Per Round' leagues from Wednesdays at 8 AM eastern to 8 PM eastern. This will allow for 12 more hours of decision making after the Monday game, and allow time to scout the Wednesday injury reports. We plan to make this a permanent switch.
The NFL postseason has been expanded to a 14-team field and therefore the player pool will be larger by 2 teams. Six wildcard teams will play during Wildcard weekend.
Second, we've transitioned to the official NFL real-time stats feed via SportRadar. As a part of this change, we've had to remove a handful of niche scoring categories.
The following scoring categories are no longer supported:
Of course, commissioners can make manual scoring adjustments if needed.

As you plan for your Fantasy Postseason NFL draft, you should consider the historical advantages for teams that play at home during the playoffs.
Here are the relevant numbers to ponder based on games played over the last 10 years:
Regular Season Home Winning %: 57
Wild card Round Home Winning %: 57
Divisional Round Home Winning %: 60
Conference Championship Round Home Winning %: 70
As you can see, there's nothing special about the first or second round in terms of being different from the regular season. The big difference comes into play during the Conference Championship round where the home team wins 7 out of 10 contests.
