What a Catchment! had the unfortunate honor of picking eighth overall. It is unclear whether it was luck or monk-level concentration, but What a Catchment! did well and is projected to finish first in League of the Ordinary League with 2,701 points and a record of 11-2-0. They put together a three-headed monster in the backfield with their first three picks, selecting Le'Veon Bell 8th overall, followed by C.J. Anderson in the second round, and LeSean McCoy in the third. If these players can play up to expectations, What a Catchment! can have some success. They are the best group of RBs in the league.
What a Catchment! took advantage of both of their keeper spots to retain Le'Veon Bell (6.1 ADP) and Lawrence Timmons (0 ADP). On average, their two keepers are substantially less valuable (by 35.4%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
What a Catchment! should use Week 5 to finally build that mini trainyard. Really just about anything other than checking fantasy football will do. 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 difficult schedules. Along with the third-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for What a Catchment!.

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.
