Watch out for Monster blitz. Taking advantage of a solid draft spot (sixth overall), they built a team poised to do some damage in MonsterBowl League. Monster blitz is expected to finish third with a record of 8-5-0 (1,481 points). RB depth won't be the issue this season as Monster blitz loaded up, drafting Matt Forte (6th overall), Zac Stacy (19th), and Rashad Jennings (30th) with their first three selections. They ended up with the bottom group of WRs in the league, as they added Pierre Garcon, Dwayne Bowe, Cecil Shorts III, and Jeremy Maclin.
Monster blitz should drop off the grid during Week 11. They have three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a less-challenging-than-average slate. Despite having the fifth-easiest overall schedule, Monster blitz actually has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.

How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent.
