Although they ended up with the No. 9 overall selection, LLsay held their ground, building a roster capable of dominating any team in TDL Advanced 2018 B. After picking up multiple Giants in the early rounds (Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram), LLsay are predicted to finish with a record of 11-2 (1,607 points), making them the team to beat.
- Aaron Rodgers
Biggest Steal: What a tremendous early bargain for LLsay, who selected Rodgers at No. 40, about two rounds later than his ADP of 23. After a season in which he threw for 1,675 yards and 16 TDs with 6 interceptions in 7 games, totaling 136 fantasy points, Rodgers is projected to score 339 fantasy points with the Packers. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Carlos Hyde
Stretch Pick: Are you friends with Denzel Washington? Because you must have had an "Inside Man" telling you to draft Hyde in the 7th round, about 19 picks earlier than his ADP of 101. Projected to score 128 fantasy points this season with the Browns, he'll need to outperform expectations to surpass last year when he ran for 938 yards and 8 TDs and recorded 59 catches for 350 yards to earn 234 fantasy points. Hyde will slot in as the No. 2 RB for LLsay, based on projections.
Draft Notes
-
The early bird gets the worm. You got the jump on your opponents at quarterback, drafting Aaron Rodgers (No. 40 overall) as the first QB off the board.
-
Week 9 could be a rude awakening for LLsay, as they have five players on a bye (Carson Wentz, Saquon Barkley, Larry Fitzgerald, Evan Engram, and Jordan Wilkins). Your Week 9 opponent, Zxz_alexandre, will have three players (Andrew Luck, Alshon Jeffery, and Marlon Mack) getting the week off.
-
For the first half of the season, LLsay won't face too many obstacles in TDL Advanced 2018 B based on projected records with an early-season strength of schedule rated as the easiest. In spite of that, for the full season, LLsay should expect a fairly balanced schedule ranked as the 9th toughest.
-
Despite unfilled slots at RB and TE in the 5th round, LLsay chose WR Allen Robinson II at No. 57, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position at the expense of a more important position.

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.
