What's important FFTonight - RC is that you have fun, regardless of the final score. Like that quote from Vince Lombardi, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." Oh wait no, that's not the right quote for this. Turns out there aren't many quotes about having fun and losing, so let's just get to the projections. FFTonight - RC is expected to finish 13th in MIC WARS League with a record of 4-9-0 (1,534 points). They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (22nd overall), RB Chris Johnson (50th), WR Dez Bryant (7th), and TE Julius Thomas (35th) within the first five rounds. They have the lowest-scoring group of RBs in the league, as they added Johnson, Ben Tate, Terrance West, and Roy Helu Jr. to their roster.
FFTonight - RC should use Week 11 to consider life's great mysteries, like why abbreviation is such a long word. It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have the toughest schedule. In addition to having the most grueling overall schedule, FFTonight - RC also has the toughest first four games of the season.

Player Analysis

- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 1, Pick 7
Bryant is More of a Full-Service GuyRodney Dangerfield claimed he once went to a massage parlor that was self-service. With 314 projected fantasy points this year, Dez Bryant should serve FFTonight - RC a little better than that.

- Aaron Rodgers, QB

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.
