Rüssnôçérôse took the last pick in the draft and turned it into a pretty decent team. Unless of course they planned on winning, because if that was the plan, then something must have gone awry. Completely rattled by picking last, Rüssnôçérôse struggled from beginning to end, and is projected to finish 12th in Hiawatha Elite League with a record of 1-12-0 (1,009 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Jay Cutler (36th overall), RB DeMarco Murray (13th), WR Percy Harvin (12th), and TE Jordan Reed (60th) within the first five rounds. They built the worst group of RBs in the league, as they have Murray, Bishop Sankey, Carlos Hyde, and Christine Michael for their rotation.
Rüssnôçérôse can chalk up Week 11 as a loss. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the most difficult schedules. In addition to having the third-most demanding overall schedule, Rüssnôçérôse has the softest last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
On Autopilot
Choosing which WRs to start should be pretty obvious most weeks for Rüssnôçérôse, as projections show a healthy point difference between their third-ranked (Tavon Austin) and fourth-ranked (Jacoby Jones) wideouts.
-
Picking starting RBs should be an effortless exercise most weeks for Rüssnôçérôse, as there's a healthy projected point difference between their third-ranked (Carlos Hyde) and fourth-ranked (Christine Michael) RBs.
-
On the Rise
Rüssnôçérôse hopes to break through this season, led by four players who are projected to significantly exceed their fantasy points from last season.
-
Like 10,000 Spoons When All You Need Is A Knife
Rüssnôçérôse's only above-average positional grouping is DEF.
-
Sustained Mediocrity
Rüssnôçérôse accumulated the fewest projected points in the first half of the draft, and didn't exactly right the ship, grabbing the fewest points in the draft's second half, as well.
-
A Pair of Proven Winners
Rüssnôçérôse has a couple of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (DeMarco Murray and Antonio Brown) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.
Player Analysis
-
- Percy Harvin, WR
- Round 1, Pick 12
Which Do You Want First, the Good News or the Bad?Despite being an above-average player at his position, the selection of Percy Harvin had less value than any other pick of the round.
-
- DeMarco Murray, RB
- Round 2, Pick 13
Feel the Rhythm, Feel the RhymeGet on up, it's DeMarco Murray time! He's predicted to run cool this season with 201 projected points.
-
- Jay Cutler, QB
- Round 3, Pick 36
It's a Bold Strategy Cotton, Let's See if it Pays OffJay Cutler has an ADP of only 97.3 across all Yahoo! leagues, and wasn't quite worth the 36th overall pick.
-
- Antonio Brown, WR
- Round 4, Pick 37
The Heist Is OnThe other league managers passed over a diamond in the rough. According to ADP, Rüssnôçérôse got a steal in snatching Antonio Brown in the fourth round (37th overall pick vs. ADP of 25.8).
-
- Bishop Sankey, RB
- Round 6, Pick 61
Milk Was a Bad ChoiceAnd so was drafting Bishop Sankey, the weakest value of the round.
Best Available
With five subpar positions on Rüssnôçérôse, RB and WR are projected as especially weak units that 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.
