Jack Attack X 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, Jack Attack X is projected to finish first in Tailgate Crashers League at 12-2-0 (1,797 points). They used a conservative plan early to fill out their lineup, selecting QB Tom Brady (32nd overall), RBs David Johnson (1st) and DeMarco Murray (17th), and WRs Dez Bryant (16th) and Tyreek Hill (33rd). They ultimately have the most prolific group of RBs in the league, as they added Johnson, Murray, and Mark Ingram.
Jack Attack X 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 four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the least challenging schedule. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, Jack Attack X has the softest last four games of the season.

- David Johnson, RB
- Round 1, Pick 1
Poised to Repeat?Leading the league in touches and all running backs in targets, Johnson showed up on more first-place fantasy rosters than any other NFL player last season. Oh, we nearly forgot: he led all players with 20 touchdowns last year, too.
