BOSS's Team wasn't constrained by picking last in the first round. Like a jackrabbit in a footrace, BOSS's Team was able to turn their relative weakness into their advantage. Now that the dust has settled a bit, they are projected to have the best team with 1,517 points and a record of 10-3-0. They must have done their homework on the WR position during the offseason. Filling the roster with quality WRs, their five wideouts are projected to average 136 points this season, beating the league average of 125. They put together the most prolific group of WRs in the league, as they have Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, DeSean Jackson, and Brandon LaFell on their team.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, BOSS's Team has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have the least challenging slate. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, BOSS's Team 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.
