Hold tight - this recap is under review by Yahoo Customer Care and will be available again soon.
Week 4 could be a frustrating one for Deceptively Slow, as their top two projected scorers (Peyton Manning and Seattle) will be off with byes. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the softest slates. In addition to having the third-easiest overall schedule, Deceptively Slow has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.

Player Analysis
-
- Peyton Manning, QB
- Round 1, Pick 10
A Mile-High MarvelBy fantasy standards, Peyton Manning's second season in Denver was his strongest as an NFL QB. He was owned on more championship rosters across all Yahoo! leagues than any other quarterback.
-
- Rob Gronkowski, TE
- Round 2, Pick 15
Stolen In Broad DaylightRob Gronkowski was the best value pick of the round and could be the cause of many sleepless nights for the other managers.
-
- Eric Decker, WR
- Round 5, Pick 58
Taking a ChanceWith their fifth-round pick, Deceptively Slow threw caution to the wind. They took Eric Decker at pick number 58 despite an ADP of 90.4 across all Yahoo! leagues.
-
- Seattle, DEF
- Round 6, Pick 63
Was Defense a Smart Decision at Pick No. 63?Deceptively Slow sure hopes so. Seattle's D is projected to get 244 points this year, after putting up 278 last year.
-
- Lamar Miller, RB
- Round 7, Pick 82
Milk Was a Bad ChoiceAnd so was drafting Lamar Miller, the weakest value of the round.
Best Available
While Deceptively Slow is projected to have three below-average positions, RB is clearly their weakest unit and should be upgraded first.

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.
