RiverdALIEN parlayed a solid draft slot (fifth overall) into a respectable performance. With a mark of 9-5-0 (1,551 points), they're projected to finish fourth in HHU League. RiverdALIEN was quick to scoop up a pair of passers, using two of their first four picks to grab QBs Colin Kaepernick (third round) and Robert Griffin III (fourth round). Corresponding with that strategy, they landed one of the highest-scoring tandems of QBs in the league.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, RiverdALIEN has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. From a projected points standpoint, they have a softer-than-average slate. Along with the fifth-easiest overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for RiverdALIEN. A soft stretch might begin in Week 6, when RiverdALIEN plays projected bottom-tier teams for three games in a row.
Best Position:Â RiverdALIEN has three above-average positions with QB (9.5% above the league positional average) and K (8.4%) projected to lead the way.
Biggest Reach:Â RiverdALIEN may have reached a bit for their 11th-round choice. Dan Bailey, taken with the 105th overall pick, has an ADP of 137.6 across all Yahoo! leagues.
Beginning with a Bang:Â RiverdALIEN got off to a sizzling start, amassing the most projected points in the league during the first half of the draft.
The Sky's the Limit:Â With five players projected to significantly beat their previous year's fantasy points, RiverdALIEN hopes to have found some up-and-coming stars.
Super Sleeper:Â With the hope of a breakout performance, RiverdALIEN grabbed Darrelle Revis with pick No. 156.
Among LBs in HHU League, Sean Lee ranks fifth in projected tackles with 143.
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner:Â Marshawn Lynch has winning in his blood. He was the 19th-most-owned player by championship teams across all Yahoo! leagues last season, as well as the 13th-most-owned player by playoff teams.
Traditionalist:Â RiverdALIEN stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of choosing RB-RB to start the draft, nabbing Marshawn Lynch and Matt Forte right off the bat.
Reaching for the Best:Â RiverdALIEN took Colin Kaepernick in the third round, getting the highest-ranked QB left on the board. However, according to ADP, it might have been a bit of a stretch at that pick (25th overall pick vs. ADP of 38.3).
New-Age QB:Â With 587 projected rushing yards (ranking fourth among QBs), Robert Griffin III has multiple ways to bring in points.
RiverdALIEN selected the best big-play WR in the league in Torrey Smith. He is projected to pace NFL WRs in plays over 40 yards with 6.4, TDs over 40 yards with 2.6, and percentage of touches over 40 yards at 11.5%.
TE (6.3% below the league average at that position) and WR (6.1%) are projected as relatively weak units for RiverdALIEN.
The following undrafted players may be worth considering:

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.
