It's going to be a long year if XFL 2.0 (Matt) deals with adversity during the season the way they did in this draft. Picking No. 9 overall, they were clearly not ready. On a positive note, the team is particularly tough at running back, as Ezekiel Elliott and James Conner are slated to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. XFL 2.0 (Matt) are predicted to finish 10th in Hiawatha Elite League with a record of 5-8 (1,546 points).

  • Ezekiel Elliott

Best Pick: What an early bargain for XFL 2.0 (Matt), who got Elliott at No. 16, about 12 picks later than his ADP of 4. After a season in which he rushed for 1,434 yards and 6 TDs and grabbed 77 passes for 567 yards and 3 TDs, totaling 252 fantasy points, Elliott is projected to score 275 fantasy points with the Cowboys. That makes him a valuable No. 1 RB for this squad.

  • Alshon Jeffery

Stretch Pick: You might have been a little overeager when deciding to choose Jeffery in the 5th round, about 19 picks earlier than his ADP of 76. You might be onto something, though. Projected to score 142 fantasy points this season with the Eagles, he looks poised to improve upon last year when he recorded 65 receptions for 843 yards and 6 TDs over 13 games to earn 120 fantasy points. Based on projected points, Jeffery will slot in as the No. 2 WR for XFL 2.0 (Matt) to begin the season.

Draft Notes

  • XFL 2.0 (Matt) went especially light at wide receiver, taking the fewest of any team in the league with only four, trailing the league average of 5.

  • Fashionably late? You became the last owner in the league to draft a wide receiver with your selection of Alshon Jeffery (No. 57 overall).

  • XFL 2.0 (Matt) face a tough task in Week 10 when they have seven players on a bye, led by Sony Michel, Jordan Howard, and Alshon Jeffery. Fear not: your Week 10 opponent -- DITKA -- will also be tackling their worst bye week with four players on the sideline.

  • For the first half of the season, XFL 2.0 (Matt) have one of the lightest schedules in Hiawatha Elite League based on projections with an early-season strength of schedule ranked as the 3rd easiest. In spite of that, for the full season, XFL 2.0 (Matt) have drawn a fairly balanced path that ranks as the 7th toughest.

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..."
