Turning a bottom-half draft slot into top-half results is the sign of a great effort by the GM. Such was the case with DeKaylin Zecharius, which flipped its No. 10 overall pick into a projected 5th-place finish in Hiawatha Elite League. DeKaylin Zecharius are predicted to put up a total of 1,550 points based on the current roster, which would result in a 7-6 record.
- Henry Ruggs III
Biggest Steal: What a late-round bargain for DeKaylin Zecharius, who picked up Ruggs III at No. 178, about five rounds later than his ADP of 124. Ruggs III is projected to score 110 fantasy points with the Raiders, which would make him the No. 7 WR for this squad.
- David Montgomery
Going out on a Limb: You may have been a bit overeager when deciding to draft Montgomery with the 3rd pick of the 4th round, about 20 picks earlier than his ADP of 59. Then again, maybe you're onto something. Projected to score 168 fantasy points this season with the Bears, he looks set to take a step forward from his rookie year when he ran for 889 yards and 6 TDs and had 25 receptions for 185 yards and 1 TD, earning 145 fantasy points. According to projections, Montgomery will slot in as the No. 2 RB for DeKaylin Zecharius to begin the season.

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.
