Although they got stuck with the 12th overall selection, Statistical Anomaly was unfazed, building a roster capable of dominating any team in Stampede Blue League 3. They're projected to finish with a record of 11-2-0 (2,030 points), placing them second. They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Demaryius Thomas (first round), Julio Jones (second round), and Julian Edelman (fourth round). These guys could be the key to the season for Statistical Anomaly, as they are the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, Statistical Anomaly has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have one of the easiest schedules. Statistical Anomaly has the opportunity to close with a hot streak, as the last four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

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.
