"Veni, Vidi, Vici" is Latin for "I came, I saw, I conquered", this perfectly describes the drafting tactics of 雷克斯布克海德, who yielded a projected first-place finish (13-0-0, 1,744 points) in TDL 2017 B League. They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (26th overall), RB Le'Veon Bell (2nd), WR Martavis Bryant (47th), and TE Jimmy Graham (50th) within the first five rounds. They also ultimately collected the highest-scoring group of RBs in the league, as they added Bell, Ezekiel Elliott, and Paul Perkins.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, 雷克斯布克海德 has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the least challenging schedule. Corresponding with the easiest overall schedule, 雷克斯布克海德 also has the second-easiest first 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. 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.
