Gifted a juicy draft position (No. 2 overall), FXP had an outstanding performance. The team is particularly strong at the running back position, as Todd Gurley II and Dalvin Cook are expected to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. FXP are predicted to finish 1st in Football Garbage Time Staff with a record of 10-3 (2,134 points).
- Doug Baldwin
Best Pick: What a outstanding early-round value for FXP, who picked up Baldwin at No. 39, about 14 spots later than his ADP of 25. Coming off a season in which he snagged 75 balls for 991 yards and 8 TDs, totaling 151 fantasy points, Baldwin is projected to score 215 fantasy points with the Seahawks. That makes him a valuable No. 1 WR for this squad.
- Matthew Stafford
Going out on a Limb: You may have gotten a little too excited when making the decision to choose Stafford with the 2nd pick of the 7th round, about 27 picks earlier than his ADP of 89. Projected to score 277 fantasy points this season with the Lions, he'll aim to match last year when he threw for 4,446 yards and 29 TDs with 10 interceptions to earn 284 fantasy points. Stafford will slot in as the No. 2 QB for FXP, according to projected points.
Draft Notes
-
FXP face a tough challenge in Week 7 when they have four players on a bye (Doug Baldwin, Davante Adams, Tyler Lockett, and Chris Boswell). Other Mike Wallace, your Week 7 opponent, will be operating at full strength without any players on a bye.
-
FXP won't encounter too many speed bumps in Football Garbage Time Staff this season based on projected records with a strength of schedule ranked as the easiest. That doesn't mean you should sit back and relax, though. For owners who aren't active, even light schedules can turn challenging at any time.
-
FXP are leading the youth movement, putting together a lineup with an average of 5.3 years of NFL experience, ranking as the 3rd-youngest group in the league. Even so, they didn't pick any of the 11 rookies drafted.
-
In spite of unfilled positions at QB and TE in the 5th round, FXP chose WR Alshon Jeffery at No. 42, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position instead of a more important position. They were the second 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.
