Tonyk 77ers used all four of their keeper spots, stockpiling pass-catchers. They held on to three WRs among their keepers-- Odell Beckham Jr. (2.5 ADP), Kelvin Benjamin (57 ADP), and Emmanuel Sanders (86.8 ADP). On average, their four keepers are dramatically more valuable (by 26.4%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
While Week 11 has the most players on bye for Tonyk 77ers (four), Week 8 is actually projected to have the team's highest number of idle fantasy points. Looking at the entire season, they have the softest slate. In addition to having the easiest overall schedule, Tonyk 77ers has the most difficult last four games of the season.
