All that time spent doing fantasy football research instead of actual work wasn't a waste of time after all, as Naperville Dragons is projected to finish in first place in Payton34 FFL League with a record of 11-2-0 (756 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Demaryius Thomas (second round), Keenan Allen (fourth round), and Torrey Smith (fifth round). These players will be heavily relied upon by Naperville Dragons, as they are the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league.
Naperville Dragons should pick up a new hobby, like bird watching, during Week 10. They have six players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have the least difficult slate. Along with the easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for Naperville Dragons.
Draft Notes
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
Naperville Dragons drafted top-3 players at a trio of different positions (Stephen Gostkowski, LeSean McCoy, and Demaryius Thomas).
-
On the Rise
Naperville Dragons hopes to break through this season, led by four players who are projected to significantly exceed their fantasy points from last season.
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
Naperville Dragons will need a hand from the waiver wire in Week 10, as their only K (Stephen Gostkowski) and only DEF (New England) will both be on bye that week.
-
A Pair of Proven Winners
Naperville Dragons has a couple of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (LeSean McCoy and Demaryius Thomas) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.
-
Biggest Steal
Naperville Dragons may have found a gem in the ninth round, grabbing Stephen Gostkowski (113th overall pick vs. ADP of 77).

Ahmad Bradshaw is owned in only 1% of all Yahoo! leagues. Let's hope that a.) Naperville Dragons has some solid inside information, or b.) he's a close friend of the family.
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 1,639 all-purpose yards.
-
- D. Thomas, WR
- Round 2, Pick 15
Better Lucky Than Good?The rest of Payton34 FFL League overlooked a gem, and Naperville Dragons made the smartest value pick of the round by taking Demaryius Thomas.
-
- Andrew Luck, QB
- Round 3, Pick 29
Don't Go Chasing WaterfallsBy taking Andrew Luck with the 29th overall pick, Naperville Dragons should have shown more patience. According to the signal-caller's ADP of only 55.3 across all Yahoo! leagues, he could've been chosen later. TLC would disapprove.
-
- Zach Ertz, TE
- Round 7, Pick 85
Was Zach Ertz Worth it at Pick No. 85?Naperville Dragons sure hopes so. The Eagles' tight end is projected to improve to the tune of 73 points this year, after only putting up 47 last year.
Best Available
If Naperville Dragons is interested in making a roster move, TE is one area they could improve.

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..."
