Watch out for Top Flight Security. Taking advantage of a solid draft spot (fourth overall), they built a team poised to do some damage in Stampede Blue League 3 League. Top Flight Security is expected to finish first with a record of 10-3-0 (2,102 points). They clearly wanted to put together a wide receiver corps early, using three of their first five selections on Julio Jones (first round), Amari Cooper (third round), and Randall Cobb (fourth round). This group will have to produce in order for Top Flight Security to have a good season, as they are the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, Top Flight Security has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Looking at the entire season, they have a weaker-than-average slate. Along with the sixth-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for Top Flight Security.

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.
