All that time spent doing fantasy football research instead of actual work wasn't a waste of time after all, as PLuckSword Team is projected to finish in first place in TDL 2016 D League with a record of 11-2-0 (1,584 points). If they have a bad season, it won't be due to a lack of wide receivers, as they used three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Antonio Brown (first round), Keenan Allen (second round), and Eric Decker (fourth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, PLuckSword Team will benefit. They are the top group of WRs in the league.
Week 5 might require some artful managing from PLuckSword Team. They have three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have a harder-than-average slate. Along with having the fifth-most grueling overall schedule, PLuckSword Team also has the most difficult last four games of the season.

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.

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.
