This draft by D. A. Baracas was like a finely tuned Peyton Manning-led offense, with all the pieces falling into place. Just like Peyton's offense, D. A. Baracas is expected to score a lot of points this season and finish second in Stampede Blue League 7 League at 10-3-0 (1,678 points). They went after guys who can tote the rock with their early picks, using three of their first five picks to scoop up RBs Montee Ball (second round), Toby Gerhart (third round), and C.J. Spiller (fourth round). They built a better-than-average group of WRs, as they have Demaryius Thomas, Michael Floyd, Rueben Randle, and Dwayne Bowe for their rotation.
D. A. Baracas can chalk up Week 4 as a loss. They have six players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have a less-challenging-than-average schedule. Despite having the sixth-easiest overall schedule, D. A. Baracas actually has the 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.
