Because many NFL players are not active in the playoffs, we use a different model to determine playoff availability in Sandbox than who actually played.
1. If a player is active either of the last two games of the regular season, they are active during the playoffs and no new injuries occur to Sandbox players.
2. If a player misses both of the last two weeks during the regular season, there is a probability that they could return during each week of the playoffs. Roughly, the longer a player has been out, the lower the chances of them returning in any individual week.
In J.J. Watt's case, he missed a bunch of games at the end of the regular NFL season, so in Sandbox, the chances of him returning any given week of the playoffs were pretty low. Sorry, but them's the breaks.
