Even though Curse of Bobby Layne didn't have a high draft pick (sixth overall), it didn't matter, as they built a legit squad capable of taking it to any opponent that gets in their way. As far as projections go, they will probably finish second in League of Maddens League with a record of 10-3-0 (1,657 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Calvin Johnson (first round), Julio Jones (second round), and Victor Cruz (fourth round). Curse of Bobby Layne will rely heavily on this group, as they are the top group of WRs in the league.
Curse of Bobby Layne can chalk up Week 9 as a big fat L. They have six players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the least challenging slates. Curse of Bobby Layne has a chance to come out of the gate hot and close strong, as both the first four games and final four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.
