Sesquipetantic Squad isn't the best team in the league, but they aren't the worst, and there is something to be said for that. After selecting fourth overall, they are projected to finish in eighth in Hiawatha Elite League at 5-7-1 (1,382 points). With four RBs on the roster, Sesquipetantic Squad clearly has an eye for running back talent. Their RBs are projected to average 165 points this season, which is higher than the league average of 129. They ended up with the lowest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they added Andre Johnson, Michael Floyd, Charles Johnson, and Terrance Williams.
Sesquipetantic Squad should use Week 9 to consider life's great mysteries, like why Greenland is ice and Iceland is green. It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have a weaker-than-average slate. In addition to having the sixth-easiest overall schedule, Sesquipetantic Squad also has the 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.
