eric's Team is projected to finish fourth in TDL 2015 E League with a record of 8-5-0 (1,505 points). While that is pretty good, pretty good wasn't enough for John Fox in Denver, and it shouldn't be for you. If you're not first, you're last. They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Drew Brees (34th overall), RB Arian Foster (58th), WR Calvin Johnson (15th), and TE Rob Gronkowski (10th) within the first five rounds. They built the best TE tandem in the league, as they added Gronkowski and Jordan Reed.
eric's Team should just disappear for a while during Week 9. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have one of the weakest slates. In addition to having the second-easiest overall schedule, eric's Team has the second-softest last four games of the season.

Player Analysis

- Calvin Johnson, WR
- Round 2, Pick 15
The Power of PersuasionNow would be a reasonable time for eric's Team to encourage the TDL 2015 E League to increase the value of receptions. They grabbed Calvin Johnson and his 89 projected catches (ranked seventh in the NFL).

Blitzkriegeric's Team drafted the most explosive QB in the league in Drew Brees. He's projected to drop bombs on DBs this year, to lead NFL QBs in plays over 40 yards with 13.2 and TDs over 40 yards with 5.1.

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.
