Despite drawing the No. 5 overall pick, Dead Again drafted a roster that may have trouble winning. Opponents will enjoy besting them with regularity, as this team is projected to finish 14th in OklahomIraqis League NFC. Dead Again are projected for a record of 1-12 (2,370 points).
- Darrel Williams
Most Improved: The RB ought to take the biggest leap over last year of all the offensive selections by Dead Again. After a season in which he ran for 169 yards and 1 TD and grabbed 18 passes for 116 yards in 13 games, totaling 55 fantasy points, Williams is projected to score 138 fantasy points with the Chiefs, a 154% gain. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.
- Mike Williams
Reach Pick: You must have stepped away from the draft, right? This had to be an autopick. There isn't any other explanation for the decision to select Williams with the 5th pick of the 5th round, about four rounds earlier than his ADP of 122. Perhaps you're onto something, though. Projected to score 238 fantasy points this season with the Chargers, he looks poised to outperform last year when he had 48 catches for 756 yards and 5 TDs in 14 games to post 154 fantasy points. Based on projections, Williams will slot in as the No. 1 WR for Dead Again to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
Dead Again face a difficult challenge in Week 7 when they have four players on a bye (Trevor Lawrence, Mike Williams, DJ Chark Jr., and Buffalo). Your Week 7 opponent, Dirty Hippies, won't be nearly as short-handed with only one player (Dawson Knox) on a bye.
-
Dead Again won't have an easy road in OklahomIraqis League NFC this season based on projections with a strength of schedule rated as the most difficult. But don't lose hope. You can't control strength of schedule, but you can control your team. Fantasy football rewards players who put in the work, so make sure to monitor each week's injuries and their repercussions.
-
Dead Again are leading the youth movement, compiling a lineup with an average of 3.9 years of NFL experience, ranking as the 2nd-youngest group in the league. Driving home that point, they selected two rookies (Ja'Marr Chase and Trevor Lawrence), the 4th-highest total in the league. In total, there were 22 rookies selected over the course of the OklahomIraqis League NFC draft.
-
Despite openings at QB, WR, and TE in the 3rd round, Dead Again selected RB Miles Sanders with the 33rd pick, filling the WR/RB flex position rather than a more important position. They were the second squad to make their first flex pick.

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..."
