The GM of Marshmallow Mateys took the sixth overall pick in the draft and turned it into a pretty decent team. Unless of course they planned on winning, because if that was the plan, then it didn't go very well. Marshmallow Mateys will need to make some moves to improve their playoff chances, currently projected to finish seventh in Hiawatha Elite League with a record of 6-6-1 (1,397 points). If they have a bad season, it won't be due to a lack of wide receivers, as they used three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (second round), Brandin Cooks (third round), and Golden Tate (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Marshmallow Mateys will benefit. They are one of the top groups of WRs in the league.
Marshmallow Mateys should use Week 9 to consider life's deeper mysteries, like why don't the pants worn by Dr. Bruce Banner rip when he transforms into the Hulk? It's better to think about that than pay attention to fantasy football. Their top three projected scorers (Matthew Stafford, Carson Palmer and Jamaal Charles) will be off that weekend. Looking at the season as a whole, they have a harder-than-average schedule. Although they have the sixth-most grueling overall schedule, Marshmallow Mateys actually 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.
