Collusion might be the only way to stop Cubano Mafioso this year, as they are projected to finish with a record of 12-1-0; good enough for second in CZNFL Dynasty League 13 League.

Cubano Mafioso used all 17 of their keeper spots, focusing on roster balance. They chose to hold on to a QB (Peyton Manning, 11.1 ADP), RB (LeSean McCoy, 1.5 ADP), WR (Andre Johnson, 39.9 ADP), and TE (Rob Gronkowski, 43.2 ADP) as their top-five keepers. On average, their five highest-ranked keepers are slightly more valuable (by 3.6%) than the draft picks that they replaced.

Cubano Mafioso should do pretty much anything other than watch football during Week 10. They have eight players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have one of the least challenging schedules. Despite having the fourth-easiest overall schedule, Cubano Mafioso actually has the second-toughest first four games of the season.

Draft Notes

  • Great Idea, Poor Execution

    Cubano Mafioso will need assistance from the waiver wire in Week 10, as their three WRs with the most projected seasonal points (Andre Johnson, Pierre Garcon, and DeSean Jackson) will all be on bye that week.

  • Separating the Wheat from the Chaff

    At five different positions, Cubano Mafioso picked up projected top-3 players (including Peyton Manning, LeSean McCoy, and Rob Gronkowski).

  • Carrying the Load

    Cubano Mafioso has a trio of above-average positions leading the way (QB, DEF, and TE).

  • Root, Root, Root for the Home Team

    Cubano Mafioso is a believer in the hopes of the Washington Redskins this year, grabbing a pair of players on that squad earlier than their ADPs might suggest.

  • Drink Plenty of Milk

    With an average of 6.4 years of NFL experience, Cubano Mafioso has the greatest chance of losing a player to osteoporosis.

  • Team of Champions

    Cubano Mafioso is rocking a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, three of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams (LeSean McCoy, Peyton Manning, and DeSean Jackson).

Player Analysis

    • LeSean McCoy, RB
    • Round 1, Pick 1
    Does LeSean McCoy Enjoy Gourmet Cuisine?

    Because his projected yardage figures are tasty. McCoy is ranked sixth in the league with 1,626 all-purpose yards.

    • Peyton Manning, QB
    • Round 2, Pick 13
    Fantasy is Better Than Reality

    Even though he fell short in Super Bowl 48, Peyton Manning was more likely to be owned on a 2013 Yahoo! championship roster than any other QB.

    • Tom Brady, QB
    • Round 6, Pick 61
    A Super Duper Signal-Caller

    Tom Brady is projected to rack up 302 points this year, enough to rank seventh among all QBs.

    • Bryce Brown, RB
    • Round 7, Pick 73
    Let Me Check it Again

    Why can't I find Bryce Brown on my draft cheat sheet? Oh wait, here he is under "mid-to-late round flier."

    • Coby Fleener, TE
    • Round 8, Pick 85
    A Bit of a Reach

    Cubano Mafioso went out on a limb with their eighth-round pick. Across all Yahoo! leagues, Coby Fleener has an ADP of 136.5, but he was grabbed at pick No. 85. Patience is a virtue, Cubano Mafioso.

Best Available

With three below-average positions on Cubano Mafioso, RB and K are expected to be the worst of those potential areas of need.

    • BenJarvus Green-Ellis
    • Rank 192, ADP 117
    • Jay Feely
    • Rank 224, ADP 144
    • Nick Folk
    • Rank 230, ADP 145

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..."
