Watch out. Somebody let Hitman Agent 21 loose in the draft room. When the smoke cleared, all that was left was an elite squad capable of destroying opponents at will. They are projected to finish second in Stampede Blue League 5 League with a record of 9-4-0 (2,040 points). They waited until the 10th round to secure their top quarterback, picking up Ryan Tannehill with the 119th overall selection. They landed the best group of RBs in the league, as they have Le'Veon Bell, Lamar Miller, Arian Foster, and Shane Vereen for their rotation.
Hitman Agent 21 should use Week 5 to consider life's great mysteries, like why Greenland is ice and Iceland is green. It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have the weakest slate. Along with having the easiest overall schedule, Hitman Agent 21 also has the league's second-easiest first four games and second-softest last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
A Good Problem to Have?
Hitman Agent 21 will have some tricky calls to make each week at RB, with a slim projected points difference between their third- (Arian Foster), fourth- (Shane Vereen), and fifth-ranked (Danny Woodhead) RBs.
-
Stockpiling Talent at TE
Hitman Agent 21 should be in good shape with five position groups projected to be better-than-average. TE is definitely the strongest among them.
-
QB Controversy?
Hitman Agent 21 may have to rely on a Ouija board each week. Their top-drafted QB (Ryan Tannehill) and second-drafted QB (Philip Rivers) have fairly similar seasonal point projections.
-
Up and Comers
Assembling a squad of rising stars is key to fantasy success and Hitman Agent 21 may have done just that, with four players estimated to top their prior-season numbers by a substantial amount.
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
Hitman Agent 21 will need some help from the waiver wire in Week 5, as their only TE (Greg Olsen) and only DEF (Carolina) will both be idle that week.
-
Close to the Vest
Hitman Agent 21 was focused on a squad with minimal volatility, grabbing seven "low-risk" players out of 16 picks.
Player Analysis
-
- Le'Veon Bell, RB
- Round 1, Pick 2
Le'Veon Bell Doesn't Read the PlaybookThe playbook reads him. Hitman Agent 21 should be in decent shape if Bell gets his 313 projected touches this year.
-
- Lamar Miller, RB
- Round 2, Pick 23
Old FashionedHitman Agent 21 stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, taking Le'Veon Bell and Lamar Miller before targeting other positions.
-
- Julian Edelman, WR
- Round 4, Pick 47
The Power of PersuasionNow would be a reasonable time for Hitman Agent 21 to encourage the Stampede Blue League 5 League to raise the value of receptions. They snagged Julian Edelman and his 93 projected catches (ranked fifth in the NFL).
-
- Greg Olsen, TE
- Round 5, Pick 50
Outstanding OlsenAcross all Yahoo! leagues, only one Tight End (Gronkowski) appeared on first-place rosters more often than Greg Olsen last year.
-
- Jeremy Maclin, WR
- Round 6, Pick 71
Jumpin' For JeremyAcross all Yahoo! leagues, only two WRs (Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders) appeared more often on first-place rosters than Maclin last 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.
