Tonyk 77ers figures to be in the mix for a playoff spot all season, taking the 14th overall draft slot and turning it into a solid team that's expected to go 9-4-0 (1,514 points). With that record, they will likely finish fourth in Vince Lombardi Keeper League.
Tonyk 77ers used all four of their keeper spots. Their top-ranked retained players from an ADP perspective were: Odell Beckham Jr. (5.6 ADP), Jordan Howard (13.6 ADP), and Kelvin Benjamin (62.1 ADP). On average, their four keepers are overwhelmingly more valuable (by 46.9%) than the draft picks that they replaced.
Tonyk 77ers should use Week 9 to consider life's deeper mysteries, like why don't the pants worn by Dr. Bruce Banner rip when he transforms into the Hulk? It's better to think about that than pay attention to fantasy football. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have the weakest slate. Tonyk 77ers has the opportunity to close with a hot streak, as the last four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

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.
