Picking sixth in the draft, freedom8080wpl delivered a roster that even a spurned ex would have to appreciate. They're projected to finish first in TDL Premiere 2016 League at 10-3-0 (1,543 points). With their first five picks, freedom8080wpl aimed for balance, selecting QB Cam Newton (34th overall), RBs Adrian Peterson (6th) and Jamaal Charles (23rd), and WRs Julian Edelman (51st) and Larry Fitzgerald (62nd). They ended up with the most prolific group of RBs in the league, as they added Peterson, Charles, and Danny Woodhead.
freedom8080wpl should just disappear for a while during Week 9. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the least challenging slate. Along with the easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for freedom8080wpl.
