Andy Dufresne once said that "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." Sadly, hope might be the only thing that Chrebet Crunch can cling to as their playoff aspirations are dwindling quickly. They picked seventh overall in NEXT FFL League and are forecasted to finish seventh with a record of 6-6-1 (1,198 points). They went with the SMU "Pony Express" draft strategy, loading up on three tailbacks in the first five rounds, selecting DeMarco Murray (second round), Alfred Morris (third round), and Toby Gerhart (fourth round). These guys could be the key to the season for Chrebet Crunch, as they are a better-than-average group of RBs.
While Week 11 has the most players on bye for Chrebet Crunch (five), Week 10 is actually projected to have the team's highest amount of idle fantasy points. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have one of the least difficult slates. Along with the second-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for Chrebet Crunch.
Draft Notes
-
Brett Favre is Just a Phone Call Away
It's likely that in Week 10, Chrebet Crunch will either be scraping the wire or begging for a trade (Tom Brady and Robert Griffin III will both be on bye). You can give Favre a call, but texting him isn't recommended.
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
Chrebet Crunch might require waiver wire help in Week 11, as their No. 1- (DeMarco Murray), No. 2- (Toby Gerhart) and No. 4-ranked (Bernard Pierce) RBs will all be idle that week.
-
On Autopilot
Picking starting RBs should be an effortless exercise most weeks for Chrebet Crunch, as there's a healthy projected point difference between their third-ranked (Alfred Morris) and fourth-ranked (Bernard Pierce) RBs.
-
A Talented Trio
Chrebet Crunch has three positions on their roster that are stronger than the league's average (WR, QB, and K).
-
On the Rise
Chrebet Crunch hopes to break through this season, led by four players who are projected to significantly exceed their fantasy points from last season.
-
A Dominating Duo
Chrebet Crunch has a pair of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (Calvin Johnson and DeMarco Murray) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.

Is Tom Brady Religious?With 264 projected points, Chrebet Crunch will be hoping Brady is the answer to their prayers.
Best Available
While Chrebet Crunch is projected to have three subpar 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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
