A brilliant draft-day performance by the GM of THIRD LEG GREG turned the No. 8 overall pick into a projected 1st-place finish. The team is especially deep at running back, as Melvin Gordon III and James Conner are expected to combine for the 2nd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. THIRD LEG GREG are predicted to finish 12-1 (2,012 points) in The Thunderdome.
- Melvin Gordon III
Biggest Steal: What a nice early value for THIRD LEG GREG, who got Gordon III at No. 41, about 14 picks later than his ADP of 27. Following a season in which he rushed for 885 yards and 10 TDs and had 50 catches for 490 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games, totaling 226 fantasy points, Gordon III is projected to score 249 fantasy points with the Chargers. That makes him a valuable No. 1 RB for this squad.
- Aaron Jones
Going out on a Limb: Are you willing to reveal your source? We'd love to know what prompted you to select Jones at No. 17, about 15 picks earlier than his ADP of 32. You might be onto something, though. Projected to score 218 fantasy points this season with the Packers, he appears poised to take a step forward from last year when he rushed for 728 yards and 8 TDs and hauled in 26 passes for 206 yards and 1 TD over 12 games to post 145 fantasy points. According to projections, Jones will slot in as the No. 3 RB for THIRD LEG GREG to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
With the selections of Jarvis Landry, David Njoku, and Kareem Hunt, THIRD LEG GREG had the highest number of Browns of any team in the league. League-wide, the Packers were the most popular team, as eight of them were selected in the draft.
-
THIRD LEG GREG face a difficult challenge in Week 7 when they have four players on a bye (James Conner, Jarvis Landry, David Njoku, and Kareem Hunt). Your Week 7 opponent, The Little Brother, won't be quite as short-handed with only one player (Odell Beckham Jr.) on a bye week.
-
With a first-half strength of schedule that ranks as the most difficult based on projections, THIRD LEG GREG won't have an easy path early on in The Thunderdome. In spite of that, for the full season, THIRD LEG GREG should expect a pretty fair path that ranks as the 7th hardest.
-
In spite of openings at QB, WR, and TE in the 4th round, THIRD LEG GREG selected RB Melvin Gordon III at No. 41, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position at the expense of a more important position. They were the earliest 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.
