Even Mel Kiper Jr. can't scowl at this draft performance. And he even has a scowl when he's smiling. Despite a late draft pick, Arrogant Americans assembled a team that is projected to finish second in OklahomIraqis League NFC League with a record of 9-4-0 (2,301 points). They honed in on wide receivers early, using their top three selections to snag DeAndre Hopkins (6th overall), Alshon Jeffery (23rd), and Demaryius Thomas (34th). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Arrogant Americans will benefit. They are one of the most prolific groups of WRs in the league.
Arrogant Americans should pick up a new hobby, like bird watching, during Week 5. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have one of the weakest schedules. In addition to having the second-easiest overall schedule, Arrogant Americans has the second-easiest first four games of the season.
