Picking fifth in the draft, Statistical Anomaly delivered a roster that even a spurned ex would have to appreciate. They're projected to finish first in Stampede Blue League 7 League at 9-4-0 (1,999 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (20th overall), RB Todd Gurley (53rd), WR Antonio Brown (5th), and TE Greg Olsen (44th) within the first five rounds. They landed the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they have Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, and Michael Floyd.
Statistical Anomaly might as well plan a vacation for Week 7. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the least challenging schedules. Along with having the fourth-easiest overall schedule, Statistical Anomaly has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.
Draft Notes
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
Statistical Anomaly drafted top-3 players at four different positions, including Antonio Brown, Aaron Rodgers, and Matt Bryant.
-
Fantasy FĂștbol
This is the American version, folks. Statistical Anomaly elected to go with two kickers, rather than adding depth at other positions.
-
Team of Champions
Statistical Anomaly assembled a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, four of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most championship rosters across all Yahoo! leagues, including Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, and Arian Foster.
-
No Back-Up Necessary
By choosing only a single QB (Aaron Rodgers) and DEF (Denver), Statistical Anomaly decided to add depth elsewhere on the roster.
-
Biggest Steal
Statistical Anomaly may have found a gem in the ninth round, grabbing Jordy Nelson (101st overall pick vs. ADP of 20).
-
Digging Deep
Ronnie Hillman is owned in only 2% of all Yahoo! leagues, but will surely reward Statistical Anomaly for their faith! Or not.
Player Analysis
-
- Antonio Brown, WR
- Round 1, Pick 5
Statistical Anomaly Just Landed a Target MachineJoining Demaryius Thomas (184) as the only players to see 170+ targets last season, Brown never got fewer than nine looks in a game after Week 1, logging a grand total of 181.
-
- Aaron Rodgers, QB
- Round 2, Pick 20
Insanely EfficientDespite attempting 32.5 passes per game (just 22nd in the league), Rodgers threw for the seventh-most yards (4,381) and third-most TDs (38) last season. A whopping 33 QBs tossed more interceptions than Rodgers' five.
-
- E. Sanders, WR
- Round 3, Pick 29
Denver DynamiteA bargain at his ADP last season, Sanders was one of just four WRs to notch 100 receptions in 2014. Only one other WR (Antonio Brown) appeared more often on championship rosters across Yahoo! last season.
-
- Greg Olsen, TE
- Round 4, Pick 44
Stolen In Broad DaylightGreg Olsen was the best value pick of the round and could be the cause of many sleepless nights for the other managers.
-
- Todd Gurley, RB
- Round 5, Pick 53
If it Ain't BrokeThen do fix it? Laughing in the face of decades of fantasy tradition, Statistical Anomaly didn't grab their first RB (Todd Gurley) until the fifth round.
Best Available
There are three positions that Statistical Anomaly could look to upgrade, including RB, which looks like their biggest area of need.

- Andre Williams
- Rank 151, ADP 120
-
- Charles Sims
- Rank 157, ADP 126
-
- DeAngelo Williams
- Rank 171, ADP 120

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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
