Picking 10th, FF Tonight Farino put together a team that is expected to finish the season in a favorable spot. There's something to be said for a GM who flipped a bottom of the barrel pick into a projected fourth-place finish in MIC WARS League (9-4-0, 1,609 points). They clearly wanted to put together a wide receiver corps early, using three of their first five selections on A.J. Green (first round), Michael Crabtree (fourth round), and Golden Tate (fifth round). They have one of the highest-scoring QB tandems in the league, as they added Peyton Manning and Jake Locker.
FF Tonight Farino will need to plan ahead for Week 9, as their top two projected scorers (Peyton Manning and A.J. Green) will be on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the weakest schedule. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, FF Tonight Farino also has the softest last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
On Autopilot
Picking starting RBs should be an effortless exercise most weeks for FF Tonight Farino, as there's a healthy projected point difference between their third-ranked (Maurice Jones-Drew) and fourth-ranked (Devonta Freeman) RBs.
-
Great Idea, Poor Execution
FF Tonight Farino will need a hand from the waiver wire in Week 4, as their only K (Steven Hauschka) and only DEF (Cincinnati) will both be on bye that week.
-
AARP Card's in the Mail
With an average of 7.1 years of NFL experience, FF Tonight Farino is the team most likely to have a player qualify for a senior citizen discount.
-
A Low Floor, but a High Ceiling?
FF Tonight Farino grabbed a sleeper in Jake Locker with pick No. 215.
-
A Stretch of the Imagination
Grabbing Jonathan Grimes at pick 150 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Grimes is owned on just a handful of rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.

Mr. Relevant
In terms of projected points, the choice of Jake Locker was the strongest pick of the final round. Savvy move there, FF Tonight Farino.
Player Analysis
-
- A.J. Green, WR
- Round 1, Pick 10
Rethinking That One?Despite being an above-average player at his position, A.J. Green was the weakest value pick of the round.
-
- Peyton Manning, QB
- Round 2, Pick 19
Fantasy is Better Than RealityEven 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.
-
- C.J. Spiller, RB
- Round 3, Pick 38
If it Ain't BrokeThen do fix it? Laughing in the face of decades of fantasy tradition, FF Tonight Farino didn't grab their first RB (C.J. Spiller) until the third round.
-
- M. Crabtree, WR
- Round 4, Pick 47
Rethinking That OneMichael Crabtree went with the 47th pick, but is projected to fall outside of the top-30 in the NFL in both receiving TDs (36th) and receiving yards (35th) with 5.8 and 913 respectively.
-
- M. Jones-Drew, RB
- Round 6, Pick 75
Apparently ADP is OverratedWith their sixth-round pick, FF Tonight Farino pulled the trigger. They took Maurice Jones-Drew at pick number 75 despite an ADP of just 105.7 across all Yahoo! leagues.

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..."
