After receiving an advantageous draft slot (No. 5 overall), Cleveland Browns had a stellar performance. Cleveland Browns are predicted to finish 1st in Vintage Football League with a mark of 13-1 (594 points).
- Nick Chubb
Biggest Steal: What a tremendous mid-round bargain for Cleveland Browns, who selected Chubb with the 5th pick of the 9th round, about eight rounds later than his ADP of 14. After a season in which he rushed for 1,494 yards and 8 TDs and recorded 36 catches for 278 yards, totaling 73 fantasy points, Chubb is projected to score 96 fantasy points with the Browns. That makes him a valuable No. 1 RB for this squad.
- Curtis Samuel
Stretch Pick: It seems everyone thinks they're a fantasy expert these days, so there's no telling who inspired you to draft Samuel with the 5th pick in the 6th round, about three rounds earlier than his ADP of 130. Projected to score 33 fantasy points this season with the Panthers, he will need to outperform expectations to take a step forward from last year when he hauled in 54 passes for 627 yards and 6 TDs to post 36 fantasy points. Based on projected points, Samuel will slot in as the No. 4 WR for Cleveland Browns to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
With only two defenses off the board, Cleveland Browns predicted a run developing and jumped in early, taking Buffalo at No. 47 overall. Three more defensive units came off the board in the ensuing round.
-
The early bird gets the worm. You beat your opponents to the punch at quarterback, drafting Patrick Mahomes (No. 5 overall) as the first QB off the board.
-
With the selections of Nick Chubb, Odell Beckham Jr., Kareem Hunt, Jarvis Landry, Baker Mayfield, Austin Hooper, Cleveland, and Austin Seibert, Cleveland Browns had more Browns than any other team in the league. League-wide, the most popular team was the Saints, as eight of them were selected in the draft.
-
Cleveland Browns face a difficult challenge in Week 9 when they have eight players on a bye, led by Baker Mayfield, Austin Seibert, and Nick Chubb. Seattle Seahawks, your Week 9 opponent, will have an abundance of options without any players on the sideline.

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.
