All that time spent doing fantasy football research instead of actual work wasn't a waste of time after all, as Mistake by the Lake is projected to finish in first place in Stampede Blue League 2 League with a record of 11-2-0 (1,637 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Julio Jones (second round), Jordy Nelson (third round), and Andre Johnson (fourth round). They built one of the top groups of RBs in the league, as they have LeSean McCoy, Shane Vereen, Steven Jackson, and Danny Woodhead on their roster.
Mistake by the Lake should just disappear for a while during Week 10. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have one of the least challenging schedules. Corresponding with the second-easiest overall schedule, Mistake by the Lake also has the easiest first four games of the season.
