Maybe if Nudibranch purchases a lift kit and some giant tires for this roster it won't seem so average. The playoffs are not out of reach for this team, but it will require some effort. They are projected to finish eighth in Hiawatha Elite with a record of 6-7-0 (1,102 points). They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (9th overall), RB Reggie Bush (40th), WR A.J. Green (16th), and TE Julius Thomas (33rd) within the first five rounds. They have the worst RB tandem in the league, as they have C.J. Spiller and Bush on the team.
Nudibranch should just disappear for a while during Week 4. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a more-challenging-than-average schedule. In addition to having the sixth-most grueling overall schedule, Nudibranch has the second-easiest first four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
Nudibranch might need to hit the waiver wire in Week 9, as their No. 1- (C.J. Spiller), No. 2- (Reggie Bush) and No. 5-ranked (Devonta Freeman) RBs will all be resting that week.
-
Strength in Numbers
In order, the three best positions for Nudibranch are TE, WR, and QB.
-
Nudibranch will need some help from the waiver wire in Week 4, as their only TE (Julius Thomas) and only DEF (Arizona) will both be idle that week.
-
A Pair of Proven Winners
Nudibranch has a couple of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (Julius Thomas and Reggie Bush) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.
-
A Low Floor, but a High Ceiling?
Nudibranch nabbed a sleeper in Devonta Freeman with pick No. 177.
-
No Back-Up No Cry
Ignoring roster depth, Nudibranch chose only one player at three different positions (TE, DEF, and K).

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.
