When the draft countdown clock hit zero, the GM of patriot521 put their game face on. Firing on all cylinders from the 11th spot in the draft, they put together a team that's projected to finish first in TDL Premiere 2014 League with a record of 10-3-0 (1,223 points). They have five decent WRs on the roster that are projected to average 126 points this season, near the league average of 119. They have an above-average group of WRs, as they added Dez Bryant, Pierre Garcon, Sammy Watkins, and Andre Holmes.
patriot521 should pick up a new hobby, like bird watching, during Week 11. They have three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the easiest schedule. Along with the easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for patriot521.
Draft Notes
-
Maybe You Should Add Tony Gonzalez While You're At It
In Week 4, both Jordan Cameron and Tyler Eifert will be on bye for patriot521.
-
On Autopilot
Choosing which WRs to start should be pretty obvious most weeks for patriot521, as projections show a healthy point difference between their third-ranked (Sammy Watkins) and fourth-ranked (Andre Holmes) wideouts.
-
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
patriot521 drafted top-3 players at a trio of different positions (Dez Bryant, Dan Bailey, and Carolina).
-
Fantasy FĂștbol
This is the American version, folks. patriot521 elected to go with two kickers, rather than adding depth at other positions.
-
A Low Floor, but a High Ceiling?
patriot521 nabbed a sleeper in Mike Williams with pick No. 186.
-
A Stretch of the Imagination
Grabbing Andre Holmes at pick 179 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Holmes is owned on just a handful of rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
Player Analysis
-
- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 1, Pick 11
It's Normal to Have Those Feelings at Your AgeTerrell Owens once said "I love me some me." While T.O. falls in love with himself, patriot521 is head over heels for Dez Bryant, who's projected to lead all WRs with 207 fantasy points.

Taking a ChanceWith their eighth-round pick, patriot521 threw caution to the wind. They took Carlos Hyde at pick number 102 despite an ADP of 114.8 across all Yahoo! leagues.

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.
