Drafting ninth, Royal Crown Club took advantage of their weaker opponents and drafted a team capable of making some noise come playoff time. They are expected to finish third in CZNFL Dynasty League 16 with a record of 9-4-0 (1,594 points).
Royal Crown Club used all 19 of their keeper positions, focusing on roster balance. They chose to hold on to a QB (Tom Brady, 76.6 ADP), RB (Todd Gurley, 5.1 ADP), WR (Amari Cooper, 29.1 ADP), and TE (Rob Gronkowski, 9.2 ADP) as their five highest-ranked keepers. On average, their top five keepers are marginally less valuable (by 1.7%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
While Week 9 has the most players on bye for Royal Crown Club (five), Week 10 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the least challenging slates. In addition to having the second-easiest overall schedule, Royal Crown Club also has the second-softest last four games of the season.

Player Analysis
-
- Todd Gurley, RB
- Round 1, Pick 9
Feed The BeastOver here we have a rarity in the wild named Todd Gurley. Projected to get a league-leading 349 touches, he feasts on feeble defenses.
-
- Rob Gronkowski, TE
- Round 2, Pick 21
Better Lucky Than Good?The rest of CZNFL Dynasty League 16 League overlooked a gem, and Royal Crown Club made the highest value pick of the round by taking Rob Gronkowski.
-
- Tyler Lockett, WR
- Round 5, Pick 57
Rethinking That OneTyler Lockett went with the 57th pick, but is projected to fall outside of the top-30 in the NFL in both receiving TDs (36th) and receiving yards (47th) with 6 and 854 respectively.

A Bit of a ReachRoyal Crown Club went out on a limb with their seventh-round pick. Across all Yahoo! leagues, Travis Benjamin has an ADP of 117.7, but he was grabbed at pick No. 81. Patience is a virtue, Royal Crown Club.

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.
