If The Dogs of War handles adversity during the season the way they did in this draft, it's going to be a challenging year. Picking No. 13 overall, they were clearly not ready. The Dogs of War are predicted to finish 11th in OklahomIraqis League NFC with a record of 5-8 (2,172 points).
- Kirk Cousins
Biggest Steal: The Dogs of War netted a tremendous mid-round bargain in selecting Cousins in the 8th round, about three rounds later than his ADP of 67. Coming off a season in which he threw for 4,093 yards and 27 TDs with 13 INTs, totaling 344 fantasy points, Cousins is projected to score 394 fantasy points with the Vikings. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Royce Freeman
Reach Pick: Are you in a sharing mood? We'd love to learn what prompted you to draft Freeman with the 2nd pick in the 4th round, about 26 spots earlier than his ADP of 71. Then again, perhaps you're onto something. Freeman is projected to score 182 fantasy points this season with the Broncos. According to projected points, Freeman will slot in as the No. 2 RB for The Dogs of War to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
With only one kicker off the board, The Dogs of War predicted a run developing and jumped in early, taking Justin Tucker at No. 212. Four more kickers were selected in the subsequent round.
-
Week 8 will bring on a case of the Bye Week Blues for The Dogs of War, as they have four players on a bye (Julio Jones, Derrick Henry, Taywan Taylor, and Dez Bryant). Fear not, Lucky Enuf, your Week 8 opponent, will be confronting a similar struggle with three players (Calvin Ridley, Austin Ekeler, and Virgil Green) on a bye.
-
With a strength of schedule that rates as the 3rd-most difficult based on projected records, The Dogs of War have one of the toughest schedules in OklahomIraqis League NFC this season. But that doesn't mean you have to lose. Strength of schedule is just a number. There are countless methods to improve during the season for those who remain active.
-
In spite of unfilled slots at QB, WR, and TE in the 4th round, The Dogs of War drafted RB Royce Freeman at No. 44, filling the WR/RB flex position instead of a position of greater need. They were the first squad to make their first flex pick.

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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
