Picking late (eighth overall), 小坚和小婧's Team did what they could with what they were given. While this team isn't a juggernaut by any means, it's a team capable of reaching the playoffs if the chips fall their way. They are expected to finish fourth in TDL Advanced 2014 D with a record of 7-5-1 (1,229 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Victor Cruz (third round), Pierre Garcon (fourth round), and Cordarrelle Patterson (fifth round). They have one of the best RB combos in the league, as they added Matt Forte and Giovani Bernard.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, 小坚和小婧's Team has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have one of the easiest slates. Along with the fourth-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are pretty average for 小坚和小婧's Team.
