Playoffs?! Are you kidding me, playoffs?! Actually, yeah that could happen. The Burt Lakers put together a quality team and is projected to finish in fifth-place in GL4x4 League at 8-5-0 (1,462 points). They wanted to shore up any RB concerns early, using three of their first five draft picks to draft RBs Lamar Miller (third round), Frank Gore (fourth round), and Jonathan Stewart (fifth round). They landed the best TE combo in the league, as they have Rob Gronkowski and Vernon Davis on their team.
The Burt Lakers should just disappear for a while during Week 5. They have six players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have a more-difficult-than-average schedule. Along with the sixth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for The Burt Lakers.

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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
