When the draft countdown clock hit zero, the GM of RotoWire_Liss put their game face on. Firing on all cylinders from the 12th spot in the draft, they put together a team that's projected to finish first in Y! Friends and Family League with a record of 11-2-0 (1,671 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs A.J. Green (first round), Brandon Marshall (second round), and Marques Colston (fifth round). A lot will be expected of this group, as they are the best group of WRs in the league.
While Week 9 has the most players on bye for RotoWire_Liss (four), Week 4 is actually projected to have the team's highest amount of idle fantasy points. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a harder-than-average schedule. Along with the fifth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for RotoWire_Liss.
Draft Notes
-
A Talented Trio
RotoWire_Liss has three positions on their roster that are stronger than the league's average (WR, DEF, and RB).
-
It's How You Finish
RotoWire_Liss must have had a motivational halftime speech, accumulating the most projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.
-
The Sleepy Trio
RotoWire_Liss selected three late-round sleepers (Dwayne Allen, Johnny Manziel, and Ka'Deem Carey).
-
RotoWire_Liss's Stud Signal-Caller
Nick Foles is projected to rack up 318 points this year, enough to rank fifth among all QBs.
-
Basic Math is Optional
Michael Vick once claimed "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain.” With 520 projected rushing yards, Johnny Manziel can channel his inner Vick to help RotoWire_Liss this year.
-
RotoWire_Liss Went All YOLO Here
Grabbing Ka'Deem Carey at pick 185 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Carey is owned on just a few rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
Player Analysis
-
- A.J. Green, WR

Possession is Nine Tenths of the LawBrandon Marshall is expected to be a strong possession receiver this year, and his 93 projected catches rank fifth in the league.

How Rebellious of YouRotoWire_Liss said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the third round to pick up their first (Le'Veon Bell).
-
- C.J. Spiller, RB
- Round 4, Pick 45

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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
