Blessed with a juicy draft position (No. 2 overall), Dinner Out had an excellent performance. The team is particularly talented at the running back position, as Ezekiel Elliott and Damien Williams are expected to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. Dinner Out are projected to finish 1st in No Quitters (Season 11) with a record of 10-3 (1,762 points).

  • Matt Ryan

Biggest Steal: Dinner Out scored a nice mid-round value with the selection of Ryan in the 6th round, about two rounds later than his ADP of 61. After a season in which he threw for 4,924 yards and 35 TDs with 7 INTs, totaling 355 fantasy points, Ryan is projected to score 308 fantasy points with the Falcons. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.

  • Robby Anderson

Going out on a Limb: We'll give you some credit and assume you fell asleep right before selecting Anderson in the 5th round, about 17 spots earlier than his ADP of 83. Granted, you could be onto something. Projected to score 183 fantasy points this season with the Jets, he seems set to take a step forward from last year when he recorded 50 catches for 752 yards and 6 TDs in 14 games to earn 134 fantasy points. Based on projections, Anderson will slot in as the No. 3 WR for Dinner Out to begin the season.

Draft Notes

  • Dinner Out appear to be especially deep at tight end, drafting the most of any team in the league with three, compared to the league average of just 1.6. On the other end of the spectrum, the squad seems a bit thin at running back, selecting fewer than any other team in the league with just two. The league average is 4.1.

  • Week 9 could bring on a case of the Bye Week Blues for Dinner Out, as they have five players on a bye (Matt Ryan, Brandin Cooks, Tyler Boyd, Greg Zuerlein, and Los Angeles). Knibb High Football, your Week 9 opponent, won't be nearly as encumbered with only one player (A.J. Green) on a bye week.

  • With a strength of schedule ranked middle-of-the-pack according to projected records, Dinner Out have a fairly balanced schedule in No Quitters (Season 11) this season.

  • Despite unfilled slots at QB and TE in the 5th round, Dinner Out drafted WR Robby Anderson with the 66th pick, filling the WR/TE flex position rather than a position of higher need. They were the second squad to fill a flex position.

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.
