Zack's Team turned a solid draft slot (No. 5 overall) into a respectable performance. Zack's Team is projected to finish 6-7 (1,512 points), which would place them 6th in Hiawatha Elite League.
- Mohamed Sanu
Best Pick: What a outstanding late-round value for Zack's Team, which selected Sanu in the 14th round, about four rounds later than his ADP of 125. After a season in which he had 67 receptions for 703 yards and 5 TDs, totaling 174 fantasy points, Sanu is projected to score 98 fantasy points with the Falcons. That makes him a valuable No. 4 WR for this squad.
- Jack Doyle
Going out on a Limb: You might have been a little overeager when making the decision to draft Doyle in the 8th round, about three rounds earlier than his ADP of 126. Projected to score 84 fantasy points this season with the Colts, he'll need to outperform expectations to improve upon last year when he had 80 receptions for 690 yards and 4 TDs, posting 129 fantasy points. Doyle will slot in as the No. 1 TE for Zack's Team, according to projected points.
Draft Notes
-
Zack's Team went especially deep at running back, drafting the most of any team in the league with six, outpacing the league average of just 4.8.
-
Week 8 could bring a difficult task for Zack's Team, as they have four players on a bye (Devonta Freeman, Dan Bailey, Mohamed Sanu, and Dez Bryant). Fear not, This is Dre's Team, your Week 8 opponent, will be tackling a similar quandary with three players (Matt Ryan, Corey Davis, and Mike Williams) getting the week off.
-
Going off projections, Zack's Team faces an uphill battle in the early-going in Hiawatha Elite League with a first-half strength of schedule ranked as the most difficult. Despite that, for the full season, Zack's Team should expect a fairly balanced schedule that rates as the 6th hardest.
-
Despite openings at QB and TE in the 5th round, Zack's Team drafted RB Royce Freeman with the 53rd pick, filling the WR/RB flex position instead of a position of higher importance. The team was 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.
