Whether or not The Goodell Gestapo was talking trash in the draft chat room is irrelevant and you have no proof. What there is proof of, though, is a dominant draft performance by The Goodell Gestapo that led to a season projection of 11-2-0 (29,849 points) and a first-place finish in Silver and Black Attack League. They were quick to snag signal-callers, using two of their first four picks to grab QBs Drew Brees (second round) and Carson Palmer (fourth round). They also landed the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they have Odell Beckham Jr., Tyler Lockett, Markus Wheaton, and Jeremy Maclin for their rotation.
The Goodell Gestapo should use Week 5 to finally build that mini trainyard. Really just about anything other than checking fantasy football will do. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have a more-difficult-than-average slate. Along with the fourth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for The Goodell Gestapo.

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.
