After receiving a favorable draft slot (No. 4 overall), Springfield Atoms had a stellar performance. Springfield Atoms are projected to finish 1st in Payton34 FFL with a mark of 10-1-2 (1,674 points).
- David Montgomery
Biggest Steal: Springfield Atoms netted a late-round bargain when they selected Montgomery with the 4th pick of the 10th round, about four rounds later than his ADP of 76. Following a rookie season in which he rushed for 889 yards and 6 TDs and grabbed 25 passes for 185 yards and 1 TD, totaling 144 fantasy points, Montgomery is projected to score 174 fantasy points with the Bears. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.
- Carson Wentz
Reach Pick: Are you in a sharing mood? We'd love to learn what prompted the selection of Wentz at No. 76, about 14 spots earlier than his ADP of 90. Then again, perhaps you're onto something. Projected to score 427 fantasy points this season with the Eagles, he seems set to outperform last year when he threw for 4,039 yards and 27 TDs with 7 INTs, totaling 375 fantasy points. Wentz will slot in as the No. 1 QB for Springfield Atoms, based on projected points.
Draft Notes
-
With only two defenses off the board, Springfield Atoms predicted a run on the horizon and jumped in early, taking Baltimore with the 88th overall pick. In the round that followed, three more defensive units went off the board.
-
With a second-half strength of schedule ranked as the 2nd-easiest according to projected records, Springfield Atoms have one of the least daunting schedules in the late stages in Payton34 FFL. Even so, for the full season, Springfield Atoms face a pretty fair schedule that rates as the 9th toughest.
-
With the 2nd-youngest group in the league at an average of 3.9 years of NFL experience, Springfield Atoms have assembled a fairly young lineup. In spite of that, they didn't pick any of the nine rookies drafted.
-
Despite unfilled positions at QB and TE in the 5th round, Springfield Atoms selected RB David Johnson with the 52nd pick, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position at the expense of a position of greater importance. They were the second squad to fill a flex position.

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..."
