FDC Chiefs must have gotten some help from Ozzie Newsome, as they built a talented roster despite a late pick. Projections predict they'll finish second in OklahomIraqis League PFC League with a record of 10-3-0 (2,398 points). 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 Brandin Cooks (second round), Golden Tate (fourth round), and Pierre Garcon (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, FDC Chiefs will benefit. They are one of the top groups of WRs in the league.
FDC Chiefs should use Week 9 to think about anything other than fantasy football, like, based on principal, should vegetarians be allowed to eat animal crackers? 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 the least difficult schedule. FDC Chiefs has the opportunity to come out firing, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.
