Despite drawing the final pick of the opening round, Big Blue was able to mastermind a superb draft. The team is particularly tough at the running back position, as Saquon Barkley and Leonard Fournette are slated to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. Big Blue are predicted to finish atop Run Run Pass Punt with an undefeated record of 13-0 (2,400 points).

  • Aaron Rodgers

Poised for a Breakout: Big Blue undoubtedly have an eye for talent, and Rodgers has the greatest odds to take a step forward among the keepers. Coming off a season in which he threw for 4,442 yards and 25 TDs with 2 interceptions, totaling 436 fantasy points, Rodgers is projected to score 472 fantasy points with the Packers. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.

  • DeAndre Hopkins

Regression Candidate: Selecting four keepers is no easy task, but Big Blue could end up regretting keeping Hopkins. Following a season in which he hauled in 115 balls for 1,572 yards and 11 TDs, totaling 278 fantasy points, Hopkins is projected to score 258 fantasy points with the Texans, still making him the No. 1 WR for this squad.

Draft Notes

  • Better late than never. With the selection of RB Leonard Fournette (No. 50 overall), you became the last owner in the league to draft a running back.

  • Week 10 could be a difficult challenge for Big Blue, as they have four players on a bye (DeAndre Hopkins, Leonard Fournette, Philadelphia, and Jordan Howard). On the bright side, your Week 10 opponent, Rasta Minions, will be tackling a similar issue with three players (Tom Brady, Phillip Lindsay, and Houston) on the sideline.

  • Going off projected records, Big Blue have one of the toughest schedules in the late stages in Run Run Pass Punt with a second-half strength of schedule rated as the 3rd-most difficult. In spite of that, for the full season, Big Blue face a fairly balanced path that ranks as the 7th toughest.

  • Big Blue have assembled a fairly balanced squad with an average of 4.4 years of NFL experience, ranking in the middle of the pack for the league. They selected one rookie (DK Metcalf). In total, there were 10 rookies selected over the course of the Run Run Pass Punt draft.

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..."
