Having the top pick in the draft doesn't guarantee a championship-caliber squad. It very well could in this case, though. Massage Therapy did what elite fantasy footballers do when they land the No. 1 overall pick. They put together a juggernaut. With Christian McCaffrey and David Montgomery expected to combine for the highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, Massage Therapy are predicted to finish in first place in WHAT?! Radio Football - XI with a flawless mark of 14-0 (1,868 points).
- Latavius Murray
Biggest Steal: Massage Therapy scored a great late-round bargain when they picked up Murray with the 14th pick in the 14th round, about five rounds later than his ADP of 129. Coming off a season in which he rushed for 656 yards and 4 TDs and caught 23 balls for 176 yards and 1 TD, totaling 113 fantasy points, Murray is projected to score 87 fantasy points with the Saints. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.
- Corey Davis
Stretch Pick: You might have gotten a little ahead of yourself when deciding to select Davis with the 1st pick in the 7th round, about 30 slots earlier than his ADP of 115. You might be onto something, though. Projected to score 163 fantasy points this season with the Jets, he looks poised to top last year when he caught 65 passes for 984 yards and 5 TDs in 14 games to post 126 fantasy points. Davis will slot in as the No. 2 WR for Massage Therapy, according to projections.
Draft Notes
-
Week 7 could present a tough challenge for Massage Therapy, as they have four players on a bye (Josh Allen, Devin Singletary, DJ Chark Jr., and Blake Jarwin). Fear not: your Week 7 opponent -- Adam's Amazing Team -- will also be confronting their worst bye week with five players on the sideline.
-
With a second-half strength of schedule that ranks as the 2nd-easiest according to projected records, Massage Therapy have one of the best schedules in the late stages in WHAT?! Radio Football - XI. Despite that, for the full season, Massage Therapy have drawn a pretty fair path that rates as the 10th toughest.
-
With an average of 5.2 years of NFL experience, ranking in the middle of the pack for the league, Massage Therapy must be counting on veteran leadership to rein in youthful exuberance. As an example of that moderation, they didn't pick any of the 20 rookies drafted.
-
Massage Therapy clearly focused on amassing elite talent, having put together a relatively top-heavy roster. As a group, the top players from each position are really powerful, forecasted to tally the most points in WHAT?! Radio Football - XI. The rest of the roster, alternatively, is another story, as they're predicted to combine for a point total ranking in the middle of the pack.

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..."
