While this draft by Fantasy FB Weekly didn't exactly set the world on fire, it didn't destroy their playoff aspirations either. They are expected to be in the mix for a playoff spot with a projected ninth-place finish in MIC WARS League at 5-8-0 (1,597 points). They clearly wanted to put together a wide receiver corps early, using three of their first five selections on Antonio Brown (second round), Roddy White (fourth round), and Jeremy Maclin (fifth round). They landed one of the lowest-scoring pairs of TEs in the league, as they added Charles Clay and Scott Chandler.
Fantasy FB Weekly should do pretty much anything other than watch football during Week 9. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have a more-challenging-than-average slate. Corresponding with the sixth-most grueling overall schedule, Fantasy FB Weekly also has the second-toughest first four games of the season.

A Stretch of the Imagination

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.
