A masterful draft-day performance by the GM of East Dillon Lions turned the seventh overall pick into a projected finish of first. They're expected to finish 12-2-0 (3,444 points) in World of KJ League.
East Dillon Lions took advantage of all three of their keeper positions. Their top-ranked retained players from an ADP perspective were: Adrian Peterson (9 ADP), Brandin Cooks (21.5 ADP), and Telvin Smith (0 ADP). On average, their three keepers are substantially less valuable (by 11.4%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
While Week 8 has the most players on bye for East Dillon Lions (seven), Week 5 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Looking at the entire season, they have a tougher-than-average slate. In addition to having the fourth-most grueling overall schedule, East Dillon Lions also has the second-toughest first four games of the season.
