Blessed with a solid draft position (No. 6 overall), expectations were high for Touchdown Abbey. Then they drafted, and those expectations vanished instantly, as this team looks to be headed for a lackluster 8th-place finish in Hiawatha Elite League. Behind multiple Rams in the early rounds (Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp), Touchdown Abbey are projected to post a record of 6-7 (1,545 points).
- Drew Brees
Best Pick: Touchdown Abbey netted a great mid-round value with the pick of Brees in the 8th round, about two rounds later than his ADP of 68. Coming off a season in which he threw for 3,992 yards and 32 TDs with 5 interceptions, totaling 309 fantasy points, Brees is projected to score 324 fantasy points with the Saints. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Royce Freeman
Reach Pick: Everyone, it seems, fancies themselves the next Brad Evans these days, so there's no telling where you got the idea to select Freeman with the 6th pick of the 7th round, about three rounds earlier than his ADP of 114. Granted, you might be onto something? Projected to score 99 fantasy points this season with the Broncos, he looks poised to take a step forward from his rookie year when he rushed for 521 yards and 5 TDs and had 14 catches for 72 yards in 14 games to earn 87 fantasy points. Freeman will slot in as the No. 5 RB for Touchdown Abbey, based on projections.
Draft Notes
-
If you're not first, you're last. You beat your opponents to the punch at tight end, drafting Travis Kelce (No. 6 overall) as the first TE off the board.
-
Week 9 will be a rude awakening for Touchdown Abbey, as they have four players on a bye (Drew Brees, Robert Woods, Latavius Murray, and Cooper Kupp). Fear not: your Week 9 opponent -- Fantasy Champs -- will also be tackling their worst bye week with four players getting the week off.
-
Touchdown Abbey have one of the most daunting schedules in Hiawatha Elite League this season according to projections with a strength of schedule that ranks as the 2nd-most difficult. All is not lost, though. You can't control strength of schedule, but you can control how much work you put in. There are infinite means to continue improving over the course of the season for owners who remain involved.
-
With the oldest group in the league at an average of 7.2 years of NFL experience, Touchdown Abbey have put together a fairly old lineup. Case in point: they didn't pick any of the 12 rookies drafted.

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..."
