Corresponding with a solid draft slot (fourth overall), HuesPryorQBCatchesTD had a stellar showing. With a mark of 10-3-0 (2,320 points), they're projected to finish second in League of Exiles League. They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs DeAndre Hopkins (first round), Jarvis Landry (fourth round), and Golden Tate (fifth round). They also landed the best TE combo in the league, as they have Jordan Reed and Coby Fleener on their team.
HuesPryorQBCatchesTD should use Week 8 to consider life's deeper mysteries, like what was the greatest thing before sliced bread? No, seriously, think about it. It's better than thinking about fantasy football that week. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the weakest schedules. HuesPryorQBCatchesTD 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.
Draft Notes
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
At four different positions, HuesPryorQBCatchesTD picked up projected top-3 players (including Justin Tucker, Jordan Reed, and Carolina).
-
A Multifaceted Machine
Riddick is a dual-threat back for HuesPryorQBCatchesTD, racking up points on the ground and through the air. He ranks third among RBs in projected receiving yards with 577.
-
A Stretch of the Imagination
Grabbing Andrew Hawkins at pick 189 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Hawkins is owned on just a handful of rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
Player Analysis
-
- D. Hopkins, WR
- Round 1, Pick 4
The Power of PersuasionNow would be a reasonable time for HuesPryorQBCatchesTD to encourage the League of Exiles League to increase the value of receptions. They grabbed DeAndre Hopkins and his 99 projected catches (ranked fourth in the NFL).
-
- Le'Veon Bell, RB
- Round 2, Pick 21
Returning to ExcellenceHe played in only six games, but Bell joined Adrian Peterson as the only NFL running backs to rush for 90+ yards per game last season.
-
- Jordan Reed, TE
- Round 3, Pick 28
Haters Gonna HateThe rest of League of Exiles League overlooked a gem, and HuesPryorQBCatchesTD made the swaggiest pick of the round by grabbing Jordan Reed.
-
- Jarvis Landry, WR
- Round 4, Pick 45
Late Bloom for LandryHuesPryorQBCatchesTD may be sensing some WR1 potential in Landry, who was one of three players (along with Julio Jones and Antonio Brown) to see double-digit targets in each of the final four weeks of 2015.
-
- Golden Tate, WR
- Round 5, Pick 52
Rethinking That OneWhile drafted 52nd overall, Golden Tate isn't projected among the NFL's top-20 in either receiving TDs (28th with 6.9) or receiving yards (21st with 1,036).

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.
