After receiving a favorable draft slot (No. 4 overall), SAviOr had a stellar showing. The team is notably strong at the running back position, as Ezekiel Elliott and Jordan Howard are slated to combine for the 2nd-highest point total of all starting RB groups in the league. SAviOr are projected to finish 1st in TDL 2018 C with a mark of 12-1 (1,601 points).
- Deshaun Watson
Best Pick: What a great early-round value for SAviOr, who picked up Watson with the 4th pick of the 5th round, about 13 picks later than his ADP of 39. Following a rookie season in which he threw for 1,699 yards and 19 TDs with 8 INTs in 7 games, totaling 173 fantasy points, Watson is projected to score 332 fantasy points with the Texans. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
- Carlos Hyde
Going out on a Limb: We're going to give you a little bit of credit and assume you took the dog out right before selecting Hyde at No. 69, about two rounds earlier than his ADP of 101. Projected to score 128 fantasy points this season with the Browns, he will need to outperform expectations to beat last year when he ran for 938 yards and 8 TDs and hauled in 59 balls for 350 yards, earning 207 fantasy points. Based on projections, Hyde will slot in as the No. 5 RB for SAviOr to begin the season.
Draft Notes
-
With four quarterbacks already off the board, SAviOr foresaw a run developing and jumped in early, taking Deshaun Watson with the No. 52 pick. In the round that followed, three more quarterbacks were chosen.
-
By well-planned strategy or good fortune, SAviOr have staggered their bye weeks well. They don't have more than two players on a bye in any given week.
-
For the first half of the season, SAviOr won't encounter too many speed bumps in TDL 2018 C based on projections with an early-season strength of schedule that rates as the easiest. In spite of that, for the season as a whole, SAviOr have drawn a fairly balanced path that ranks as the 9th hardest.
-
Despite an opening at TE in the 6th round, SAviOr drafted RB Carlos Hyde with the 69th pick, filling the WR/RB/TE flex position rather than 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.
