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 _______, which flipped its No. 11 overall pick into a projected 4th-place finish in Double Stuff Racing League. The team is especially tough at the wide receiver position, as Tyreek Hill and JuJu Smith-Schuster are slated to combine for the highest point total of all starting WR groups in the league. _______ are predicted to put up a total of 1,905 points based on the current roster, which would result in a 9-4 record.
- Deshaun Watson
Shining Star: Of all the picks by _______, Watson is expected to accumulate the most points this season. After a season in which he threw for 3,852 yards and 26 TDs with 12 INTs and racked up 413 yards and 7 TDs, totaling 348 fantasy points, Watson is projected to score 369 fantasy points with the Texans, a 6% improvement. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Antonio Gibson
Going out on a Limb: We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you took the dog out right before selecting Gibson at No. 83, about three rounds earlier than his ADP of 114. Gibson is projected to score 179 fantasy points this season with the Redskins. Gibson will slot in as the No. 3 RB for _______, according to projections.
Draft Notes

Week 8 could bring on a case of the Bye Week Blues for _______, as they have six players on a bye, led by Deshaun Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and David Johnson. Your Week 8 opponent, Joel's Father, won't be quite as short-handed with only two players (Mark Ingram II and Duke Johnson) on a bye.

With the youngest group in the league at an average of 3.8 years of NFL experience, _______ are trying to catch lightning in a bottle.

In total, there were 17 rookies selected over the course of the Double Stuff Racing League draft.
