A late round draft pick would fluster the novice fantasy football manager, but this was obviously not the first rodeo for 星爷我姓姜. They were able to flip the 12th overall pick into an expected finish of third place with a record of 9-4-0 (1,538 points). They clearly wanted to assemble a wide receiver corps early, using three of their first five selections on Jordy Nelson (first round), Dez Bryant (second round), and Martavis Bryant (fourth round). These guys could be the key to the season for 星爷我姓姜, as they are the most prolific group of WRs in the league.
星爷我姓姜 should use Week 9 to consider life's great mysteries, like why abbreviation is such a long word. It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the easiest slate. Along with the easiest overall schedule, both the first month and final month of the season project to be close to league-average in terms of difficulty for 星爷我姓姜.

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.
