"Veni, Vidi, Vici" is Latin for "I came, I saw, I conquered", this perfectly describes the drafting tactics of All or Natson, who yielded a projected second-place finish (10-3-0, 2,105 points) in Stampede Blue League 7 League. With their first five picks, All or Natson focused on a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Russell Wilson (50th overall), RBs Le'Veon Bell (2nd) and Leonard Fournette (23rd), and WRs Amari Cooper (26th) and Davante Adams (47th). They ultimately landed the most prolific set of RBs in the league, as they added Bell, Fournette, Paul Perkins, and Samaje Perine.
All or Natson should use Week 8 to consider life's great mysteries, like why abbreviation is such a long word. It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the season from start to finish, they have one of the easiest slates. Along with the second-easiest overall schedule, the first four games and last four games of the season are fairly average for All or Natson.
Draft Notes
-
On Autopilot
Picking starting RBs should be an effortless exercise most weeks for All or Natson, as there's a healthy projected point difference between their third-ranked (Paul Perkins) and fourth-ranked (Samaje Perine) RBs.
-
Highlight Reel
All or Natson is loaded at RB, but WR isn't too shabby, either.
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
All or Natson drafted top-3 players at a trio of different positions (Justin Tucker, Kansas City, and Le'Veon Bell).
-
Single-Bar Facemasks
All or Natson knows this is American football, right? They elected to go with two kickers, instead of stockpiling depth at other positions.
-
Team of Winners
All or Natson is rocking a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, three of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams (Le'Veon Bell, Amari Cooper, and Justin Tucker).
-
Defense Wins Championships?
All or Natson chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.
Player Analysis
-
- Le'Veon Bell, RB
- Round 1, Pick 2
Feed Thy BeastLe'Veon Bell will get the ball early and often, and he's projected to finish second in the league with 327 touches.
-
- L. Fournette, RB
- Round 2, Pick 23
TraditionalistAll or Natson stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, nabbing Le'Veon Bell and Leonard Fournette right off the bat.
-
- Amari Cooper, WR
- Round 3, Pick 26
Essentially Elite?Though he didn't burst into super-stardom like many predicted, Cooper still delivered last season: only three wide receivers (Evans, Nelson, Brown) were rostered more frequently by first-place fantasy squads in 2016.
-
- Russell Wilson, QB
- Round 5, Pick 50
Russell Wilson Likes His Eggs ScrambledAnd a little runny, eh? Wilson is projected to deliver 436 rushing yards, and ranks third among QBs in that category.
-
- Danny Woodhead, RB
- Round 6, Pick 71
Milk Was a Bad ChoiceAnd so was drafting Danny Woodhead, the weakest value of the round.
Best Available
While All or Natson is projected to have four subpar positions, TE is clearly their weakest unit and should be upgraded 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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
