Picking fourth in the draft, LIONPWR delivered a roster that even a spurned ex would have to appreciate. They're projected to finish first in Motor City Football League at 9-4-0 (3,249 points). They aimed for having a balanced roster throughout, taking QB Matt Ryan (37th overall), RBs Ezekiel Elliott (17th) and Leonard Fournette (24th), and WRs Antonio Brown (4th) and Golden Tate (44th). They've ultimately got the most prolific TE pair in the league, as they added Jordan Reed and Julius Thomas.
LIONPWR has one weak area, QB, that they may want to improve.
LIONPWR should drop off the grid during Week 10. They have four 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 least-difficult slates. LIONPWR 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.

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.
