Blessed with a juicy draft position (No. 3 overall), The Equalizer* had an excellent performance. The team is especially tough at the running back position, as Austin Ekeler and Aaron Jones are expected to combine for the 2nd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. The Equalizer* are projected to finish 1st in Black Sheep Division with a record of 10-4 (1,746 points).
- Damien Harris
Biggest Steal: The Equalizer* scored an outstanding mid-round value with the pick of Harris with the 3rd pick in the 9th round, about 11 slots later than his ADP of 72. Coming off a season in which he ran for 929 yards and 15 TDs and had 18 catches for 132 yards, totaling 192 fantasy points, Harris is projected to score 167 fantasy points with the Patriots. That makes him a valuable No. 3 RB for this squad.
- DJ Chark Jr.
Reach Pick: You must know something everybody else doesn't. There's no other reason for selecting Chark Jr. with the 3rd pick of the 11th round, about two rounds earlier than his ADP of 130. Perhaps you're onto something, though. Projected to score 138 fantasy points this season with the Lions, he looks set to beat last year when he grabbed 7 balls for 154 yards and 2 TDs over 3 games to post 27 fantasy points. Chark Jr. will slot in as the No. 4 WR for The Equalizer*, according to projected points.
Draft Notes
-
The Equalizer* went particularly deep at wide receiver, drafting more than any other team in the league with seven, exceeding the league average of just 5.5.
-
The Equalizer* are in for a rude awakening in Week 9 when they have four players on a bye (Dak Prescott, Deebo Samuel, Courtland Sutton, and Michael Gallup). Your Week 9 opponent, Squirtle Squad, won't be quite as short-handed with only one player (Najee Harris) on a bye week.
-
With a strength of schedule that ranks as the 2nd-easiest according to projected records, The Equalizer* have drawn one of the most coveted schedules in Black Sheep Division this season.
-
The Equalizer* appear to have prioritized experience over youth, putting together a squad with an average of 5.7 years of NFL experience, ranking as the oldest group in the league. Case in point: they didn't pick any of the 10 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..."
