Despite a Formidable Set of WRs, The Dubot Army Isn't Anything to Get Excited About
Draft Summary
Look The Dubot Army, not everyone achieves the "above" in "above average," it has to be earned. Just be happy being an average GM, and maybe with a little hard work and a better draft next season, your team will reach that milestone. The Dubot Army didn't kill their playoff aspirations with this draft, but they'll have to do some extra work to get there. For now, they're projected to finish in eighth-place in NEXT FFL League at 6-7-0 (1,191 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Dez Bryant (first round), Brandon Marshall (second round), and Michael Crabtree (fifth round). This group will have to produce in order for The Dubot Army to have a good season, as they are the most prolific group of WRs in the league.
Schedule
Ever wonder what exactly was inside the brief case in Pulp Fiction? The Dubot Army should use Week 9 to solve the mystery, since they certainly won't be winning. They have three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have a harder-than-average schedule. Although they have the fourth-most grueling overall schedule, The Dubot Army actually has the second-softest last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
Good Luck With That One!
The Dubot Army will have some intriguing decisions to make each week at WR, with a narrow projected points difference between their third- (Michael Crabtree), fourth- (Dwayne Bowe), and fifth-ranked (Markus Wheaton) wideouts.
-
Highlight Reel
TE is the strongest position for The Dubot Army, but WR and K are also stronger than the league average at those positions.
-
Afraid to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone?
With seven "low-risk" players among their 14 picks, The Dubot Army is looking for dependable help.
-
No Back-Up No Cry
Ignoring roster depth, The Dubot Army chose only one player at three different positions (TE, DEF, and K).
-
Basic Math is Optional
Michael Vick once claimed "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain.” With 664 projected rushing yards, Colin Kaepernick can channel his inner Vick to help The Dubot Army this year.
Player Analysis
-
- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 1, Pick 8
Bryant is More of a Full-Service GuyRodney Dangerfield claimed he once went to a massage parlor that was self-service. With 239 projected fantasy points this year, Dez Bryant should serve The Dubot Army a little better than that.
-
- B. Marshall, WR
- Round 2, Pick 17
The Power of PersuasionNow would be a reasonable time for The Dubot Army to encourage the NEXT FFL League to raise the value of receptions. They snagged Brandon Marshall and his 94 projected catches (ranked fifth in the NFL).
-
- Ryan Mathews, RB
- Round 3, Pick 32
How Rebellious of YouThe Dubot Army said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the third round to pick up their first (Ryan Mathews).
-
- Matt Ryan, QB
- Round 4, Pick 41
A Super Duper Signal-CallerMatt Ryan is projected to rack up 254 points this year, enough to rank seventh among all QBs.
-
- M. Crabtree, WR
- Round 5, Pick 56
Rethinking That OneMichael Crabtree went with the 56th pick, but is projected to fall outside of the top-30 in the NFL in both receiving TDs (32nd) and receiving yards (37th) with 6 and 927 respectively.

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.
