Selecting in the bottom half of the first round (ninth overall), FantasySavvyDeAngelo can use their poor draft position as an excuse for why they choked. This team strikes fear in the heart of no one, with a projected record of 4-9-0 (1,495 points). They're probably going to finish 14th in MIC WARS League. They stockpiled ball carriers early, using four of their first seven picks to snatch up RBs Shane Vereen (third round), Frank Gore (fourth round), Andre Williams (sixth round) and Bernard Pierce (seventh round). In spite of that positional emphasis, they landed one of the worst groups of RBs in the league.
FantasySavvyDeAngelo should just disappear for a while during Week 10. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have a less-challenging-than-average slate. FantasySavvyDeAngelo has the opportunity to close with a bang, as the last four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average. However, the opening stretch of first four games is expected to be tougher than average, so a slow start is possible.
Draft Notes
-
On Autopilot
Picking starting RBs should be an effortless exercise most weeks for FantasySavvyDeAngelo, as there's a healthy projected point difference between their third-ranked (Bernard Pierce) and fourth-ranked (Andre Williams) RBs.
-
Asset Allocation
QB is the strongest position for FantasySavvyDeAngelo, though TE and K aren't too shabby either.
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
FantasySavvyDeAngelo will need some help from the waiver wire in Week 10, as their only TE (Jordan Reed) and only DEF (Houston) will both be idle that week.
-
Sustained Mediocrity
FantasySavvyDeAngelo 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.
-
No Back-Up No Cry
Ignoring roster depth, FantasySavvyDeAngelo chose only one player at four different positions (QB, TE, DEF, and K).
-
A Dominating Duo
FantasySavvyDeAngelo has a pair of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (Demaryius Thomas and Drew Brees) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.
Player Analysis
-
- D. Thomas, WR
- Round 1, Pick 9
Possession is Nine Tenths of the LawDemaryius Thomas is expected to be a strong possession receiver this year, and his 106 projected catches rank second in the league.
-
- Drew Brees, QB
- Round 2, Pick 20
Like a Prancing UnicornDrew Brees is a fantasy dream. He's projected to finish second in the NFL in both passing TDs (37.9) and passing yards (5,089).
-
- Shane Vereen, RB
- Round 3, Pick 37
How Rebellious of YouFantasySavvyDeAngelo said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the third round to pick up their first (Shane Vereen).
-
- Frank Gore, RB
- Round 4, Pick 48
Finding PaydirtWith 8.6 rushing TDs, Frank Gore is projected to finish seventh in the NFL in that category.
-
- Andre Williams, RB
- Round 6, Pick 76
Let Me Check it AgainWhy can't I find Andre Williams on my draft cheat sheet? Oh wait, here he is under "mid-to-late round flier."
Best Available
With three subpar positions on FantasySavvyDeAngelo, RB and DEF 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.
