Although they were stuck with the No. 11 overall selection, Layne Ducks held their ground, building a roster capable of topping any team in Hiawatha Elite League. Layne Ducks are predicted to finish with a record of 8-5 (1,621 points), placing them 3rd.

  • Brandon Aiyuk

Best Pick: What a tremendous late-round bargain for Layne Ducks, who got Aiyuk at No. 179, about four rounds later than his ADP of 131. Aiyuk is projected to score 135 fantasy points with the 49ers, which makes him a valuable No. 4 WR for this squad.

  • Marvin Jones Jr.

Stretch Pick: We're going to give you a little bit of credit and assume you took the dog out right before selecting Jones Jr. in the 8th round, about 30 slots earlier than his ADP of 116. Projected to score 133 fantasy points this season with the Lions, he will be looking to perform similarly to last year when he grabbed 62 balls for 779 yards and 9 TDs over 13 games, posting 132 fantasy points. Jones Jr. will slot in as the No. 5 WR for Layne Ducks, based on projected points.

Draft Notes

  • If you're not first, you're last, so good thing you were first. You got out ahead of your opponents at quarterback, drafting Patrick Mahomes (No. 11 overall) as the first QB off the board.

  • Layne Ducks are in for a rude awakening in Week 10 when they have four players on a bye (Patrick Mahomes, Todd Gurley II, Amari Cooper, and Keenan Allen). An Easy W, your Week 10 opponent, won't be nearly as hamstrung with only one player (CeeDee Lamb) on a bye.

  • With a first-half strength of schedule that ranks as the 2nd-most difficult according to projections, Layne Ducks have one of the toughest schedules early on in Hiawatha Elite League. In spite of that, for the season as a whole, Layne Ducks have drawn a pretty fair schedule rated as the 9th hardest.

  • In spite of an open slot at TE in the 6th round, Layne Ducks chose WR Keenan Allen at No. 62, filling the WR/RB flex position rather than a position of higher importance.

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..."
