The Phantom Limbs received a solid draft position, and they coughed it up. Even though they had the No. 3 overall pick, they're projected to finish 10th in Hiawatha Elite League. While Ezekiel Elliott and Austin Ekeler are expected to combine for the 3rd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, The Phantom Limbs are looking at a final record of 4-9 (1,536 points).

  • Darius Slayton

Best Pick: The Phantom Limbs notched an outstanding late-round bargain in selecting Slayton in the 13th round, about three rounds later than his ADP of 116. Coming off a rookie season in which he racked up 48 catches for 740 yards and 8 TDs in 14 games, totaling 122 fantasy points, Slayton is projected to score 135 fantasy points with the Giants. That makes him the No. 5 WR for this squad.

  • Zack Moss

Stretch Pick: You must have had an inside man when deciding to select Moss in the 9th round, about 25 picks earlier than his ADP of 124. Moss is projected to score 98 fantasy points this season with the Bills. Moss will slot in as the No. 5 RB for The Phantom Limbs, according to projections.

Draft Notes

  • Fashionably late? You became the last manager in the league to draft a tight end with your selection of Mike Gesicki (No. 118 overall).

  • Week 11 will be a rude awakening for The Phantom Limbs, as they have five players on a bye (Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Darius Slayton, Mike Gesicki, and Zack Moss). Your Week 11 opponent, The Placebo Arm, won't be quite as short-handed with only one player (San Francisco) on a bye week.

  • For the first three weeks of the season, The Phantom Limbs have one of the most coveted schedules in Hiawatha Elite League based on projected records with an early-season strength of schedule that ranks as the 3rd easiest. Despite that, for the full season, The Phantom Limbs face a pretty fair path that ranks as the 7th hardest.

  • In spite of remaining openings at QB, WR, and TE in the 3rd round, The Phantom Limbs chose RB Chris Carson with the 27th pick, filling the WR/RB flex position rather than a position of greater importance. 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. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
