KK_1899 must have gotten some help from Ozzie Newsome, as they built a talented roster despite a late pick. Projections predict they'll finish first in TDL Advanced 2017 C League with a record of 10-3-0 (1,575 points). They used a conservative plan early to fill out their lineup, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (33rd overall), RBs LeSean McCoy (9th) and DeMarco Murray (16th), and WRs Alshon Jeffery (40th) and Larry Fitzgerald (57th). When the dust settled, they'd ultimately landed one of the most prolific QB tandems in the league, as they have Rodgers and Jameis Winston on the roster.
KK_1899 should use Week 8 to finally read War and Peace. Anything that isn't following their fantasy football team. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the season as a whole, they have the weakest schedule. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, KK_1899 has the easiest first four games of the season.

Player Analysis
-
- LeSean McCoy, RB
- Round 1, Pick 9
LeSean McCoy Doesn't Read the PlaybookThe playbook reads him. KK_1899 should be in decent shape if McCoy gets his 278 projected touches this year.
-
- DeMarco Murray, RB
- Round 2, Pick 16
Old FashionedKK_1899 stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, taking LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray before targeting other positions.
-
- Aaron Rodgers, QB
- Round 3, Pick 33
Amazing AaronRodgers was the only quarterback to pass for 40 touchdowns last season, and among QBs, only Tom Brady appeared on more first-place fantasy rosters.
-
- L. Fitzgerald, WR
- Round 5, Pick 57
Climbing The LadderCurrently in ninth place with 14,389 career receiving yards, Fitzgerald is just 904 yards away from moving all the way up to third place all-time. Only five WRs (Evans, Nelson, Brown, Cooper, Hilton) appeared on more championship rosters last 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.
