Well, that draft was deflating. Not deflating in the kind of way that will help you win and then you go home to a supermodel afterwards. But more the kind of way where you suffer a bunch of losses, miss the postseason, and everyone makes fun of you. DARC NARC is projected to finish 13th in OklahomIraqis League NFC League with a record of 5-8-0 (2,181 points). With their first five picks, DARC NARC aimed for balance, selecting QB Cam Newton (1st overall), RBs Doug Martin (29th) and Jeremy Hill (56th), and WRs Jordy Nelson (28th) and Allen Hurns (57th). They also have the lowest-scoring QB pair in the league, as they added Newton and Dak Prescott.
While Week 5 has the most players on bye for DARC NARC (four), Week 7 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 most daunting schedules. DARC NARC has the opportunity to exit the gates quickly, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

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.
