A masterful draft-day performance by the GM of Alison's Astounding Team turned the No. 6 overall pick into a projected 1st-place finish. With Austin Ekeler and D'Andre Swift expected to combine for the 2nd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league, Alison's Astounding Team are predicted to finish 13-2 (2,284 points) in Fantasy Football League.

  • Damien Harris

Best Pick: What a fantastic late-round value for Alison's Astounding Team, who picked up Harris with the 3rd pick in the 12th round, about three rounds later than his ADP of 72. Coming off a season in which he rushed for 929 yards and 15 TDs and caught 18 balls for 132 yards, totaling 210 fantasy points, Harris is projected to score 186 fantasy points with the Patriots. That makes him a valuable No. 4 RB for this squad.

  • Dawson Knox

Reach Pick: Are you willing to reveal your source? We'd love to learn what prompted you to draft Knox in the 7th round, about three rounds earlier than his ADP of 79. Then again, perhaps you're onto something. Projected to score 173 fantasy points this season with the Bills, he seems set to top last year when he caught 49 balls for 587 yards and 9 TDs to post 164 fantasy points. Knox will slot in as the No. 2 TE for Alison's Astounding Team, according to projections.

Draft Notes

  • Fashionably late? You became the last manager in the league to draft a tight end with your selection of Dawson Knox (No. 54 overall).

  • Alison's Astounding Team face a difficult challenge in Week 10 when they have four players on a bye (Lamar Jackson, Rashod Bateman, Damien Harris, and Evan McPherson). Fortunately, Dan Solomon's Dandy Team, your Week 10 opponent, will be confronting a similar struggle with three players (Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Elijah Moore) on a bye week.

  • Alison's Astounding Team won't encounter too many speed bumps in Fantasy Football League this season according to projections with a strength of schedule rated as the easiest. But don't get complacent. For those who fail to stay active, even the lightest schedules can present plenty of issues.

  • In spite of offensive openings at QB, WR, and TE in the 4th round, Alison's Astounding Team drafted RB Leonard Fournette at No. 27, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position at the expense of a higher leverage position.

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..."
