Although they got stuck with the 12th overall selection, eXpertLeagues Dean was unfazed, building a roster capable of dominating any team in MIC WARS. They're projected to finish with a record of 9-4-0 (1,640 points), placing them third. If they have a bad season, it won't be due to a lack of wide receivers, as they used three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Andre Johnson (third round), Michael Floyd (fourth round), and Kendall Wright (fifth round). A lot will be expected of this group, as they are one of the best groups of WRs in the league.
While Week 10 has the most players on bye for eXpertLeagues Dean (four), Week 4 is actually projected to have the team's highest amount of idle fantasy points. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the softest slates. eXpertLeagues Dean has the opportunity to exit the gates quickly, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

-
You Snooze, You Lose

Stolen In Broad DaylightKendall Wright was the best value pick of the round and could be the cause of many sleepless nights for the other managers.
-
- Mike Wallace, WR
- Round 6, Pick 73

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.
