Y! - Funston received the fourth pick in the draft and used it to build a juggernaut. The majority of the league will spend the season looking up at Y! - Funston in the standings, as they are expected to finish first in Y! Friends and Family League with a record of 11-2-0 (2,102 points). They aimed for having a roster with balance throughout, taking QB Cam Newton (60th overall), RBs Jamaal Charles (25th) and LeSean McCoy (32nd), and WRs Julio Jones (4th) and Larry Fitzgerald (53rd). They put together one of the highest-scoring groups of RBs in the league, as they added Charles, McCoy, and Justin Forsett to the team.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, Y! - Funston has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a more-challenging-than-average schedule. Along with the seventh-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for Y! - Funston.
