Despite a Set of Monster RBs, Waynes Wacky Weasels are Good Enough to Barely Miss Playoffs
Draft Summary
Waynes Wacky Weasels are not a super team, but they could potentially be playoffs-bound assuming things go their way. After picking No. 7 overall, the team is predicted to land in 7th place in Hiawatha Premier League. Some good news: the team is particularly deep at the running back position, as Alvin Kamara and James Conner are slated to combine for the 3rd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. Waynes Wacky Weasels are in store for a mark of 5-8 (1,605 points) with the current roster.
- Henry Ruggs III
Biggest Steal
Waynes Wacky Weasels netted a late-round value in selecting Ruggs III at No. 175, 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 a valuable No. 4 WR for this squad.
- James Conner
Stretch Pick
Everyone fancies themselves the next fantasy expert these days, so there's no telling what led you to select Conner with the 6th pick in the 2nd round, about 15 picks earlier than his ADP of 33. To be fair, you might be onto something. Projected to score 212 fantasy points this season with the Steelers, he looks poised to take a step forward from last year when he ran for 464 yards and 4 TDs and grabbed 34 passes for 251 yards and 3 TDs in 10 games, totaling 112 fantasy points. According to projected points, Conner will slot in as the No. 2 RB for Waynes Wacky Weasels to begin the season.

Week 11 could present a difficult task for Waynes Wacky Weasels, as they have five players on a bye (Allen Robinson II, Jordan Howard, Robbie Gould, Chicago, and Sterling Shepard). Luckily, your Week 11 opponent, Eli's Team, will be confronting a similar struggle with four 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.
