Having the top pick in the draft doesn't guarantee a championship-caliber squad. It very well could in this case, though. RIch's Dandy Team did what top-flight fantasy footballers do when they land the No. 1 overall pick. They put together a juggernaut. With Saquon Barkley and Melvin Gordon III expected to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, RIch's Dandy Team are predicted to finish in first place in Yahoo Public 18009 with a mark of 13-1 (2,027 points).
- Melvin Gordon III
Best Pick: RIch's Dandy Team scored a nice early bargain with the pick of Gordon III in the 5th round, about three rounds later than his ADP of 20. After a season in which he ran for 885 yards and 10 TDs and hauled in 50 passes for 490 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games, totaling 251 fantasy points, Gordon III is projected to score 266 fantasy points with the Chargers. That makes him a valuable No. 2 RB for this squad.

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.
