After receiving an advantageous draft slot (No. 4 overall), Joshua's Team had a wonderful performance. Joshua's Team are predicted to finish 2nd in DEFEN$IVE GURU$ 2021 with a mark of 13-2 (716 points).
- David Johnson
Best Pick: What a late-round value for Joshua's Team, who selected Johnson with the 9th pick in the 26th round, about 17 rounds later than his ADP of 106. Coming off a season in which he ran for 691 yards and 6 TDs and recorded 33 receptions for 314 yards and 2 TDs in 12 games, totaling 21 fantasy points, Johnson is projected to score 16 fantasy points with the Texans. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.
- Gus Edwards
Going out on a Limb: Are you willing to share your secrets? We'd love to know what prompted the selection of Edwards in the 4th round, about four rounds earlier than his ADP of 94. Projected to score 27 fantasy points this season with the Ravens, he looks poised to take a step forward from last year when he ran 144 times for 723 yards and 6 TDs to post 19 fantasy points. Based on projected points, Edwards will slot in as the No. 3 RB for Joshua's Team to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
Joshua's Team will be all in on the Patriots this season, as the selections of Quinn Nordin, Jakobi Meyers, Jonnu Smith, and Mac Jones give them four players from New England, more than any other team in DEFEN$IVE GURU$ 2021. League-wide, the Buccaneers were the most popular team, as 17 of them were selected in the draft.
-
Week 7 could be a difficult task for Joshua's Team, as they have six players on a bye, led by Josh Allen, Jordan Poyer, and Ezekiel Elliott. Your Week 7 opponent, LongShotzz, will have three players (Diontae Johnson, Mike Williams, and Mario Addison) on a bye.
-
With a first-half strength of schedule ranked as the 2nd-most difficult according to projected records, Joshua's Team have one of the most challenging schedules in the early-going in DEFEN$IVE GURU$ 2021. Even so, for the season as a whole, Joshua's Team face a fairly balanced path that rates as the 5th toughest.
-
Despite open slots at WR and TE in the 4th round, Joshua's Team chose RB Gus Edwards at No. 45, filling the WR/RB flex position at the expense of a position of greater need.

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.
