RaferAlston11's Team was able to invest the fifth pick well and looks positioned for some nice returns over the season. The proceeds from this draft include an overall projected finish of first in TDL Advanced 2014 B League, as well an estimated 1,262 points and a record of 12-1-0. With six WRs on the roster, RaferAlston11's Team guaranteed the WR position was taken care of. Compared to the league average of 125, their WRs projected average of 130 points won't be much different than the rest of the wideouts around the league. They landed one of the most prolific groups of RBs in the league, as they added Eddie Lacy, Doug Martin, Ray Rice, and Trent Richardson.
While Week 11 has the most players on bye for RaferAlston11's Team (four), Week 10 is actually projected to have the team's highest amount of idle fantasy points. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have the softest schedule. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, RaferAlston11's Team also has the league's second-easiest first four games and second-softest last four games of the season.
