Is Clinton-Dix Picks the second coming of Sir Francis Drake? With masterful navigation of treacherous draft waters, this loaded roster is projected to go 11-2-0 (2,902 points) and finish with the best regular season record in League of the Ordinary League. They went with the SMU "Pony Express" draft strategy, loading up on three tailbacks in the first five rounds, selecting David Johnson (first round), Jay Ajayi (second round), and Joe Mixon (fifth round). This group will have to produce in order for Clinton-Dix Picks to have a good season, as they are the most prolific group of RBs in the league.
Clinton-Dix Picks used both of their keeper slots to retain David Johnson (1.2 ADP) and Aaron Rodgers (20.5 ADP). On average, their two keepers are clearly more valuable (by 14.9%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
Clinton-Dix Picks will need to tap into their depth Week 8, as their top two projected scorers (David Johnson and Aaron Rodgers) will have a bye week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have an easier-than-average slate. In addition to having the fourth-easiest overall schedule, Clinton-Dix Picks has the second-toughest first four games of the season.

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.
