Angry Gnomes took advantage of the top pick in the draft and built the kind of roster that makes opponents "go out of town" or "spend time with the kids" when they see your team on the schedule. While the rest of the league runs and hides, Angry Gnomes is projected to finish first in Movie Forums Fantasy Football League at 11-2-0 (1,781 points). They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Marcus Mariota (57th overall), RB David Johnson (1st), WR Emmanuel Sanders (56th), and TE Rob Gronkowski (29th) within the first five rounds. When the dust settled, they'd ultimately landed the best TE duo in the league, as they have Gronkowski and Antonio Gates.
Week 8 may cause some frustration for Angry Gnomes, as their top two projected scorers (Marcus Mariota and David Johnson) will be relaxing at home that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the easiest schedule. Along with having the easiest overall schedule, Angry Gnomes has the softest last four games of the season.
