Doughboys was able to invest the fourth pick well and looks positioned for some nice returns over the season. The proceeds from this draft include an overall projected finish of second in OklahomIraqis League AFC League, as well an estimated 2,358 points and a record of 11-2-0. If they have a bad season, it won't be due to a lack of wide receivers, as they used three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Julio Jones (first round), Amari Cooper (third round), and Donte Moncrief (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Doughboys will benefit. They are one of the best groups of WRs in the league.
Week 9 might require some waiver-wire magic from Doughboys. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the weakest slate. Doughboys 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.

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.
