While Pat Mayo RX is no world-beater, this is a team that could potentially reach the playoffs if some things go their way. Picking 13th overall, Pat Mayo RX is projected to land in 10th place in MIC WARS League with a record of 5-8-0 (1,577 points). They stocked up on pass catchers right out of the gate using their top three selections to snag WRs Julio Jones (13th overall), Jordy Nelson (16th), and Vincent Jackson (41st). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Pat Mayo RX will benefit. They are the best group of WRs in the league.

Pat Mayo RX should use Week 9 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 six players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the toughest schedules. Along with having the second-most grueling overall schedule, Pat Mayo RX also has the most difficult last four games of the season.

Draft Notes

  • Great Idea, Poor Execution

    Pat Mayo RX might need to hit the waiver wire in Week 9, as their No. 1- (Julio Jones), No. 2- (Jordy Nelson) and No. 5-ranked (Justin Hunter) WRs will all be resting that week.

  • QB or Bust

    Unfortunately, QB is the only strong position on Pat Mayo RX. Fortunately, there's always next year.

  • Up and Comers

    Assembling a squad of rising stars is key to fantasy success and Pat Mayo RX may have done just that, with six players estimated to top their prior-season numbers by a substantial amount.

  • Aging Stars

    The top half of the roster (from a projected points perspective) is relatively old (ranked No. 3 in the league with an average of 7.2 years of NFL experience), whereas the bottom half is fairly young (ranked No. 13 with 3.3 years).

  • Nearly There

    The top half of the Pat Mayo RX roster is one of the strongest in the league (ranked No. 3). However, the bottom of the roster is among the weakest (ranked No. 13).

  • Defense Wins Championships?

    Pat Mayo RX chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.

Player Analysis

    • Julio Jones, WR
    • Round 1, Pick 13
    The Power of Persuasion

    Now would be a reasonable time for Pat Mayo RX to encourage the MIC WARS League to raise the value of receptions. They snagged Julio Jones and his 105 projected catches (ranked third in the NFL).

    • Jordy Nelson, WR
    • Round 2, Pick 16
    256 Excuses to Cheer for Jordy Nelson

    Nelson ranks ninth in the MIC WARS League among wideouts with 256 projected fantasy points.

    • V. Jackson, WR
    • Round 3, Pick 41
    On a Scale of 1 to America

    How free will Vincent Jackson be in the secondary? He's projected to rack up 1,206 receiving yards this year.

    • Percy Harvin, WR
    • Round 4, Pick 44
    Returning to Greatness

    If special teams contributions count in MIC WARS League, Pat Mayo RX may have found a gem in Percy Harvin. Including his 788 projected return yards, he ranks third in the league with 1,706 all-purpose yards.

    • Pierre Thomas, RB
    • Round 5, Pick 69
    How Rebellious of You

    Pat Mayo RX said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the fifth round to pick up their first (Pierre Thomas).

Best Available

While Pat Mayo RX is projected to have four below-average positions, TE is clearly their weakest unit and should be upgraded first.

    • Tim Wright
    • Rank 174, ADP 139
    • Owen Daniels
    • Rank 182, ADP 123
    • Jermichael Finley

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..."
