While Is that really it!? is no world-beater, this is a team that could potentially reach the playoffs if some things go their way. Picking eighth overall, Is that really it!? is projected to land in eighth place in Hiawatha Elite League with a record of 5-8-0 (1,389 points). They went with the SMU "Pony Express" draft strategy, loading up on three tailbacks in the first five rounds, selecting Le'Veon Bell (second round), Latavius Murray (fourth round), and Melvin Gordon (fifth round). They put together the bottom group of WRs in the league, as they have DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryius Thomas, Vincent Jackson, and Devin Funchess on their team.
While Week 10 has the most players on bye for Is that really it!? (four), Week 8 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a tougher-than-average slate. Along with having the fifth-most grueling overall schedule, Is that really it!? also has the second-most difficult last four games of the season.

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.
