Picking late (seventh overall), Ihenachos Deluxe did what they could with what they were given. While this team isn't a juggernaut by any means, it's a team capable of reaching the playoffs if the chips fall their way. They are expected to finish fourth in Hiawatha Elite with a record of 8-5-0 (1,160 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Tom Brady (42nd overall), RB Marshawn Lynch (7th), WR Julio Jones (31st), and TE Greg Olsen (55th) within the first five rounds. They have the bottom QB duo in the league, as they added Brady and Johnny Manziel to their squad.
Ihenachos Deluxe should do pretty much anything other than watch football during Week 4. They have five 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 fifth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for Ihenachos Deluxe.

Mr. Mendoza
Doug Baldwin is owned in only 7% of all Yahoo! leagues. Let's hope that a.) Ihenachos Deluxe has some solid inside information, or b.) he's a close friend of the family.

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..."
