If you can't handle the heat, get out of the draft room. The Dogs of War collapsed under the pressure of this draft. Picking No. 10 overall, they were clearly overmatched. The Dogs of War are projected to finish 11th in OklahomIraqis League NFC with a record of 5-8 (2,507 points).
- Aaron Rodgers
Biggest Steal: The Dogs of War scored a nice mid-round value when they picked up Rodgers at No. 75, about 15 picks later than his ADP of 60. After a season in which he threw for 4,299 yards and 48 TDs with 5 interceptions, totaling 522 fantasy points, Rodgers is projected to score 489 fantasy points with the Packers. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Antonio Brown
Going out on a Limb: You must have had some inside info when deciding to choose Brown in the 5th round, about two rounds earlier than his ADP of 103. Maybe you're onto something, though. Projected to score 212 fantasy points this season with the Buccaneers, he seems set to top last year when he hauled in 45 balls for 483 yards and 4 TDs in 8 games, posting 117 fantasy points. Based on projections, Brown will slot in as the No. 2 WR for The Dogs of War to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
The Dogs of War went particularly deep at tight end, selecting more than any other team in the league with three, compared to the league average of just 1.9. On the other end of the spectrum, the team seems somewhat sparse at wide receiver, selecting the fewest of any team in the league with only five. The league average is 7.1.
-
Week 9 could be a rude awakening for The Dogs of War, as they have four players on a bye (DK Metcalf, D'Andre Swift, Antonio Brown, and Rob Gronkowski). Luckily, your Week 9 opponent, Dead Again, will be facing a similar quandary with three players (Jason Myers, Quintez Cephus, and Rashaad Penny) on a bye week.
-
With a strength of schedule that ranks as the 3rd-most difficult according to projections, The Dogs of War have one of the most daunting schedules in OklahomIraqis League NFC this season. Don't lose hope, though. Strength of schedule says nothing about how much work you put in. There are a number of ways to improve over the course of the season as long as you remain active.
-
With the oldest group in the league at an average of 7 years of NFL experience, The Dogs of War seem to prioritize age before beauty. Case in point: they didn't pick any of the 22 rookies drafted.

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..."
