Coinciding with a juicy draft position (second overall), Balls Deep had an outstanding performance. They're projected to finish second in The Vagina Monoleague League with a record of 10-4-0 (1,397 points). They went all-in on running backs early, using their first three selections to grab Jamaal Charles (2nd overall), Bishop Sankey (19th), and Andre Ellington (22nd). They built the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they have Cordarrelle Patterson, Percy Harvin, and Larry Fitzgerald on the roster.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, Balls Deep has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have a more-challenging-than-average slate. In addition to having the fourth-most grueling overall schedule, Balls Deep also has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.

Patterson is More of a Full-Service Guy

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.
