Before the draft, no one would have expected this squad to end up with a projected finish of first. Kaep n Crunch turned the seventh overall pick into a season potentially filled with success. They're expected to finish 9-4-0 (1,811 points) in MonsterBowl League. They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Andrew Luck (18th overall), RB Frank Gore (31st), WR Emmanuel Sanders (42nd), and TE Rob Gronkowski (7th) within the first five rounds. They ended up with the most prolific TE duo in the league, as they have Gronkowski and Zach Ertz on their team.
Kaep n Crunch should use Week 10 to consider life's deeper mysteries, like why do we park in a driveway but drive on a parkway? It will be better to think about that than to check fantasy football. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have one of the least difficult slates. In addition to having the second-easiest overall schedule, Kaep n Crunch also has the second-easiest first four games of the season.

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.
