In correlation with this draft, Redzone Rice has decided to open a nice little side business that teaches inferior opponents how to draft like a boss. After Redzone Rice hopped off the bus they used to take the rest of these kids to school, they built a roster that's projected to finish second in Silver and Black Attack League with a record of 10-3-0 (26,682 points). They drafted four decent RBs for their roster. This group is projected to average 1,497 points this season, which is close the league average of 1,581. They also built one of the top QB combos in the league, as they have Philip Rivers and Matthew Stafford on the roster.
While Week 9 has the most players on bye for Redzone Rice (six), Week 11 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have a tougher-than-average slate. In addition to having the third-most grueling overall schedule, Redzone Rice also has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.
Draft Notes

With an average of 7.2 years of NFL experience, Redzone Rice is the oldest and by default, least exciting team in the league.
-
Good to Have Balance, Right?
While the bottom half of the Redzone Rice roster is one of the strongest in the league (projected to be No. 2), the top of the roster is among the weakest (ranked No. 7).
-
No Double-Dipping Allowed
By choosing Greg Olsen as their lone tight end, Redzone Rice decided to stack the roster at other positions.
-
Did Stretch Armstrong Make That Pick?
Grabbing Patrick Peterson at pick 76 was definitely a reach. Peterson is owned on just a handful of teams across all Yahoo! leagues.

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.
