Watch out. Somebody let NBG 64s loose in the draft room. When the smoke cleared, all that was left was an elite squad capable of destroying opponents at will. They are projected to finish first in Endzone II-A League with a record of 11-1-1 (1,142 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Andrew Luck (54th overall), RB Adrian Peterson (3rd), WR T.Y. Hilton (59th), and TE Rob Gronkowski (31st) within the first five rounds. They built the lowest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they have Hilton, Eric Decker, DeAndre Hopkins, and Mike Williams for their rotation.
Ever wonder what exactly was inside the brief case in Pulp Fiction? NBG 64s should use Week 10 to solve the mystery, since they certainly won't be winning. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the easiest schedule. NBG 64s has a chance to get off to a fast start, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average. However, their closing stretch of four games is expected to be tougher than average.

Player Analysis
-
- A. Peterson, RB
- Round 1, Pick 3
Does Adrian Peterson Enjoy Gourmet Cuisine?Because his projected yardage figures are tasty. Peterson is ranked sixth in the league with 1,644 all-purpose yards.
-
- Zac Stacy, RB
- Round 2, Pick 26
TraditionalistNBG 64s stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, nabbing Adrian Peterson and Zac Stacy right off the bat.
-
- Rob Gronkowski, TE
- Round 3, Pick 31
Haters Gonna HateThe rest of Endzone II-A League overlooked a gem, and NBG 64s made the swaggiest pick of the round by grabbing Rob Gronkowski.
-
- Andrew Luck, QB
- Round 4, Pick 54
Grab Your UmbrellaAndrew Luck will be making it rain on DBs this year, and is forecasted to finish ninth in the NFL with 4,151 passing yards.
-
- T.Y. Hilton, WR
- Round 5, Pick 59
Rethinking That OneWhile drafted 59th overall, T.Y. Hilton isn't projected among the NFL's top-20 in either receiving TDs (26th with 6.2) or receiving yards (26th with 1,010).
Best Available
With three below-average positions on NBG 64s, WR and RB are expected to be the worst of those potential areas of need.

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.
