This draft by Straight Cash Homie was like a finely tuned Peyton Manning-led offense, with all the pieces falling into place. Just like Peyton's offense, Straight Cash Homie is expected to score a lot of points this season and finish third in Hiawatha Elite League at 9-3-1 (1,457 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Antonio Brown (first round), Mike Evans (third round), and Amari Cooper (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Straight Cash Homie will benefit. They are the best group of WRs in the league.
Straight Cash Homie should use Week 11 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 three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the easiest slates. Along with the third-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for Straight Cash Homie.

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.
