A superb draft performance by the GM of Xheryk turned the No. 8 overall pick into a projected 1st-place finish. After picking up multiple Panthers in the early rounds (Christian McCaffrey and Greg Olsen), Xheryk are predicted to finish 11-2 (1,535 points) in Rams Fans United League.
- James White
Biggest Steal: What a great late-round bargain for Xheryk, who got White in the 15th round, about six rounds later than his ADP of 122. Following a season in which he ran for 171 yards and caught 56 balls for 429 yards and 3 TDs in 14 games, totaling 134 fantasy points, White is projected to score 72 fantasy points with the Patriots. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.
- Adrian Peterson
Going out on a Limb: We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you fell asleep right before the selection of Peterson at No. 77, about 30 spots earlier than his ADP of 107. Granted, maybe you're onto something? Projected to score 108 fantasy points this season with the Redskins, he seems set to outperform last year when he rushed for 529 yards and 2 TDs and had 11 receptions for 70 yards in 10 games to earn 68 fantasy points. Peterson will slot in as the No. 3 RB for Xheryk, according to projections.
Draft Notes
-
Xheryk face a tough task in Week 11 when they have five players on a bye (Tom Brady, Stephen Gostkowski, Kelvin Benjamin, Danny Amendola, and James White). Fear not, your Week 11 opponent -- Big Boss -- will also be confronting their worst bye week with four players getting the week off.
-
For the first half of the season, Xheryk have one of the least challenging schedules in Rams Fans United League based on projected records with an early-season strength of schedule rated as the 4th easiest. Despite that, for the season as a whole, Xheryk should expect a pretty fair schedule that ranks as the 8th toughest.
-
Xheryk appear to prioritize experience over youth, assembling a lineup with an average of 7.1 years of NFL experience, ranking as the 3rd-oldest group in the league. Despite that, they still selected one rookie (Rashaad Penny). In total, there were 17 rookies selected over the course of the Rams Fans United League draft.
-
Xheryk clearly focused on amassing elite talent, having compiled a fairly front-loaded squad. The top players from each position, collectively, are quite potent, slated to tally the 3rd-highest point total in the league. Alternatively, the rest of the roster is another story, as they're predicted to combine for a point total that would rank in the middle of the pack.

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.
