The GM of FantasyGuru-Hansen took the first overall pick and handled it like a seasoned professional. After putting their sweet drafting skills on display for the rest of the league, they're left with a squad that's projected to finish second in Y! Friends and Family League with a record of 9-4-0 (1,945 points). The GM of FantasyGuru-Hansen obviously entered this draft knowing who their QB target was. They waited until the eighth round to pick their first quarterback, drafting Ryan Tannehill with the 112th overall pick. They built a legit group of WRs, as they have Antonio Brown, Sammy Watkins, Victor Cruz, and Michael Crabtree for their rotation.
FantasyGuru-Hansen should pick up a new hobby, like bird watching, during Week 11. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have the least challenging schedule. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, FantasyGuru-Hansen also has the softest 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.
