Picking late (10th overall), Whackers did what they could with what they were given. While this team isn't a juggernaut by any means, it's a team capable of reaching the playoffs if the chips fall their way. They are expected to finish fourth in OklahomIraqis League NFC with a record of 7-6-0 (2,291 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Brandon Marshall (first round), Dez Bryant (second round), and Julian Edelman (fourth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Whackers will benefit. They are one of the best groups of WRs in the league.
While Week 8 has the most players on bye for Whackers (six), Week 11 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 one of the easiest schedules. Whackers has the opportunity to close with a hot streak, as the last four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

Player Analysis
-
- B. Marshall, WR
- Round 1, Pick 10
Just Win, BabyDeath, taxes, and Brandon Marshall leading fantasy teams to the playoffs and championships. After he finished among the top-10 players owned on playoff rosters (10th) and on championship rosters (10th), Whackers is hopping on the bandwagon.

274 More Reasons to Appreciate Dez BryantBryant ranks eighth in the OklahomIraqis League NFC League among WRs with 274 projected fantasy points.
-
- Danny Woodhead, RB
- Round 3, Pick 38
How Rebellious of YouWhackers said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the third round to pick up their first (Danny Woodhead).

-
- M. Jones Jr., WR
- Round 5, Pick 66
Rethinking That OneMarvin Jones Jr. may not justify his 66th overall draft pick if projections hold true. Currently, he is estimated to fall outside the NFL's top-30 in both yards (40th with 884) and TDs (46th with 5.5).
Best Available
Whackers has a couple positions they may look to upgrade (TE and QB), but TE is the area they'll want to focus their attention first.

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.
