A masterful draft-day performance by the GM of Prizd FC turned the seventh overall pick into a projected finish of second. They're expected to finish 10-3-1 (1,537 points) in Titan Cup West League. With their first five picks, Prizd FC focused on a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Ben Roethlisberger (47th overall), RBs Jeremy Hill (14th) and Mark Ingram (34th), and WRs Antonio Brown (7th) and T.Y. Hilton (27th). They have a good group of RBs, as they have Hill, Arian Foster, Ingram, and Chris Ivory for their rotation.
Prizd FC might as well plan a vacation for Week 10. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a weaker-than-average slate. Although they have the fifth-easiest overall schedule, Prizd FC actually has the toughest 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.
