After receiving an advantageous draft slot (No. 3 overall), Brian McDougall had a wonderful showing. With Christian McCaffrey slated to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, Brian McDougall are projected to finish 2nd in LEEIB Sports Private #561033 with a mark of 9-5 (2,837 points).
- Joe Mixon
Best Pick: Brian McDougall netted a fantastic late-round bargain in choosing Mixon with the 3rd pick of the 11th round, about nine rounds later than his ADP of 12. After a season in which he rushed for 1,137 yards and 5 TDs and caught 35 passes for 287 yards and 3 TDs, totaling 126 fantasy points, Mixon is projected to score 177 fantasy points with the Bengals. That makes him a valuable No. 2 RB for this squad.
- Matthew Stafford
Going out on a Limb: You must have run out of time, right? It had to be an autopick. There isn't any other explanation for the decision to select Stafford with the 3rd pick in the 7th round, about six rounds earlier than his ADP of 102. You might be onto something, though. Projected to score 648 fantasy points this season with the Lions, he seems set to beat last year when he threw for 2,499 yards and 19 TDs with 5 interceptions in 8 games to post 392 fantasy points. Stafford will slot in as the No. 2 QB for Brian McDougall, according to projected points.

Fear not: your Week 6 opponent, Ultimate Badasses, will be tackling a similar quandary with three players (Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf, and Darren Waller) getting the week off.

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.
