Chock-Full of WR Talent, OTPHJs is Loaded with Talent

Draft Summary

Picking late (sixth overall), OTPHJs did what they could with what they were given. While this team isn't a juggernaut by any means, it's a team capable of reaching the playoffs if the chips fall their way. They are expected to finish fifth in 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens with a record of 7-7-0 (1,565 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Mike Evans (first round), Michael Thomas (second round), and Davante Adams (fifth round). These guys could be the key to the season for OTPHJs, as they are one of the best sets of WRs in the league.

You're close to greatness. And if being close isn't good enough for you, you might be worthy of the Toyota Hall of Fame. Nominate yourself now.

Schedule

OTPHJs should use Week 8 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 one of the weakest schedules. OTPHJs 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.

Draft Notes

I Keep Getting Older
And they stay the same age. OTPHJs isn't afraid to rob the cradle, drafting the youngest team in the league with an average of just 4.9 years of NFL experience.
Afraid to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone?
With seven "low-risk" players among their 16 picks, OTPHJs is looking for dependable help.
Veteran Mentors on the Bench
While the top half of the roster, from a projected points perspective, is relatively young (ranked No. 10 in the league with an average of 3.2 years of NFL experience), the bench is quite experienced (ranked No. 2 with 7.2 years).
Single-Bar Facemasks
OTPHJs knows this is American football, right? They elected to go with two kickers, instead of stockpiling depth at other positions.
Defense Wins Championships?
Hoping to play the favorable matchups week-to-week, OTPHJs chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.
The Heist Is On
The other league managers passed over a diamond in the rough. According to ADP, OTPHJs got a steal in snatching Jameis Winston in the 10th round (95th overall pick vs. ADP of 68.7).

Player Analysis

Mike Evans, WR Round 1, Pick 6

Going Against the Grain: Though he's an above-average player at his position, Mike Evans was ultimately the weakest value pick of the round.

Michael Thomas, WR Round 2, Pick 15

Just Heave it to Michael Thomas: Thomas ranks 10th in the 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League among WRs with 178 projected fantasy points.

C. McCaffrey, RB Round 3, Pick 26

How Rebellious of You: OTPHJs said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the third round to pick up their first (Christian McCaffrey).

Marcus Mariota, QB Round 6, Pick 55

Basic Math: Michael Vick once claimed, "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain." With 405 projected rushing yards, Marcus Mariota can channel his inner Vick to help OTPHJs this year.

Delanie Walker, TE Round 7, Pick 66

Was the 66th Pick the Right Time for Delanie Walker?: OTPHJs apparently believes so. The Titans' tight end is projected to record 114 points this year, after producing 123 last year.
