All that time spent doing fantasy football research instead of actual work wasn't a waste of time after all, as Vultures is projected to finish with a record of 11-2-0; good enough for first in OklahomIraqis League AFC League. With eight WRs on the roster, Vultures has a quality group of receivers; their WRs are projected to average 187 points this season, near the league average of 184. They also ultimately ended up with the most prolific RB duo in the league, as they added David Johnson and Leonard Fournette to the team.
Week 8 is not looking like a fun one for fantasy football. Vultures should look into the joys of scrapbooking, or bird-watching, or just anything that isn't fantasy football. It might not be pretty. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the least difficult schedule. Along with the easiest overall schedule, the first four games and last four games of the season are fairly average for Vultures.
Draft Notes
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
At four different positions, Vultures picked up projected top-3 players (including David Johnson, Justin Tucker, and Kansas City).
-
Decent Idea, Mediocre Execution
Vultures will need a hand from the waiver wire in Week 10, as their only K (Justin Tucker) and only DEF (Kansas City) will both be on bye that week.
-
Team of Champions
Vultures is rocking a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, four of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy rosters, including David Johnson, T.Y. Hilton, and Jordan Reed.
-
Bargain Shopper
With four steals in the first 11 rounds (including Marcus Mariota, Eddie Lacy, and Jamaal Charles), Vultures made some shrewd moves.
-
Returning to Greatness
If special teams contributions count in OklahomIraqis League AFC League, Vultures may have found a gem in Ted Ginn Jr. Including his 715 projected return yards, he ranks sixth in the league with 1,625 all-purpose yards.
-
Tyrod Taylor Likes His Eggs Scrambled
And a little runny, eh? Taylor is projected to deliver 513 rushing yards, and ranks first among QBs in that category.
Player Analysis
-
- David Johnson, RB
- Round 1, Pick 2
No Backfield Committee HereProjected to touch the ball 344 times this year (most in the NFL), David Johnson could deliver for Vultures each and every week.
-
- L. Fournette, RB
- Round 2, Pick 27
TraditionalistVultures stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, nabbing David Johnson and Leonard Fournette right off the bat.
-
- T.Y. Hilton, WR
- Round 3, Pick 30
Thank You, T.Y.!Hilton notched career-highs in targets, receptions, and receiving yards last year. Only three wide receivers (Evans, Nelson, Brown) appeared more often on fantasy rosters that had earned a spot in their league's playoffs.
-
- Jordan Reed, TE
- Round 4, Pick 55
Better Lucky Than GoodThe rest of OklahomIraqis League AFC League overlooked a gem, and Vultures made the smartest value pick of the round by taking Jordan Reed.
-
- Eric Decker, WR
- Round 6, Pick 83
A Bit of a ReachVultures went out on a limb with their sixth-round pick. Across all Yahoo! leagues, Eric Decker has an ADP of 109.5, but he was grabbed at pick No. 83. Patience is a virtue, Vultures.

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.
