BigHassler put together an underrated roster that might not dominate week in and week out, but will be firmly entrenched in a playoff spot by season's end. They're projected to finish the season with a 7-5-1 (1,154) record in Hiawatha Elite League, which will be good enough for sixth. They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Nick Foles (27th overall), RB Adrian Peterson (3rd), WR Victor Cruz (51st), and TE Rob Gronkowski (46th) within the first five rounds. They built the top RB pair in the league, as they have Peterson and Alfred Morris on the roster.
BigHassler can chalk up Week 10 as a loss. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have a weaker-than-average slate. In addition to having the sixth-easiest overall schedule, BigHassler has the second-toughest first four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
BigHassler might require waiver wire help in Week 10, as their No. 1- (Adrian Peterson), No. 2- (Alfred Morris) and No. 4-ranked (Roy Helu Jr.) RBs will all be idle that week.
-
Positional Fortitude
BigHassler has four positions that are better than league average. While RB, WR, and QB are projected to be good, TE is the strongest on BigHassler.
-
Basic Math is Optional
Michael Vick once claimed "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain.” With 481 projected rushing yards, Russell Wilson can channel his inner Vick to help BigHassler this year.
-
A Stretch of the Imagination
Grabbing Roy Helu Jr. at pick 147 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Helu Jr. is owned on just a handful of teams across all Yahoo! leagues.
Player Analysis
-
- A. Peterson, RB
- Round 1, Pick 3
Does Adrian Peterson Enjoy Fajitas?Because his all-purpose yardage figures are sizzling. Peterson is projected to rank sixth in the league with 1,643 total yards.
-
- Alfred Morris, RB
- Round 2, Pick 22
Old FashionedBigHassler stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, taking Adrian Peterson and Alfred Morris before targeting other positions.
-
- Nick Foles, QB
- Round 3, Pick 27
Don't Go Chasing WaterfallsBy taking Nick Foles with the 27th overall pick, BigHassler should have shown more patience. According to the signal-caller's ADP of only 64.8 across all Yahoo! leagues, he could've been chosen later. TLC would disapprove.
-
- Rob Gronkowski, TE
- Round 4, Pick 46
Haters Gonna HateThe rest of Hiawatha Elite League overlooked a gem, and BigHassler made the swaggiest pick of the round by grabbing Rob Gronkowski.
-
- Chris Johnson, RB
- Round 6, Pick 70
Was Chris Johnson Worth it at Pick No. 70?BigHassler sure hopes so. The Jets' running back is only projected to get 140 points this year, after putting up 197 last year.

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..."
