Thanks to a successful draft by the obviously skilled GM, Sada's Gardeners turned the not-so-favorable seventh overall pick into a projected finish of first. They're expected to go 10-3-0 (1,544 points) in CZNFL Div-II League 14 League. They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Drew Brees (42nd overall), RB Lamar Miller (31st), WR Antonio Brown (7th), and TE Rob Gronkowski (18th) within the first five rounds. They have the best TE duo in the league, as they have Gronkowski and Julius Thomas on their team.
While Week 4 has the most players on bye for Sada's Gardeners (four), Week 11 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Looking at the season as a whole, they have one of the softest schedules. Sada's Gardeners has the opportunity to come out firing, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.
