Despite an Exciting Group of WRs, Weiner Cleaners Should Probably Stop Reading This Draft Recap Now

B

Draft Summary

Despite selecting in the top half of the first round (fifth overall), Weiner Cleaners might as well have been blindly heaving darts at the draft board to decide their picks. Opponents are going to enjoy beating this team, which is projected to finish eighth in 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League with a record of 5-9-0 (1,598 points). They won't have any issues with depth at WR, using their first three picks to load up, drafting Odell Beckham Jr., Brandin Cooks, and Amari Cooper. These guys could be the key to the season for Weiner Cleaners, as they are the best set 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

Week 10 would be a good opportunity for Weiner Cleaners to take a yoga retreat, and who knows, having that flexibility may come in handy for the "stretch" run. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the season from start to finish, they have an easier-than-average slate. Although they have the fifth-easiest overall schedule, Weiner Cleaners actually has the league's second-toughest first four games and most difficult last four games of the season.

Draft Notes

• Shouldering the Burden

• Weiner Cleaners has four above-average positions with WR and QB projected to lead the way.

• Cream Rises to the Top

• At four different positions, Weiner Cleaners picked up projected top-two players (including Odell Beckham Jr., Justin Tucker, and Kansas City).

• Up, Up, and Away

• With four players projected to significantly beat their previous year's fantasy points, Weiner Cleaners hopes to have found some up-and-coming stars.

• Fantasy Fútbol

• This is the American version, folks. Weiner Cleaners elected to go with two kickers, rather than adding depth at other positions.

• Team of Champions?

• Weiner Cleaners is fielding a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, three of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most championship rosters across all Yahoo! leagues: Amari Cooper, Tom Brady, and Justin Tucker.

• Defense Wins Championships?

• Hoping to play the favorable matchups week-to-week, Weiner Cleaners chose to go with two DEFs instead of loading up at other spots.

Player Analysis

O. Beckham Jr., WR Round 1, Pick 5

• Big Numbers in the Big Apple: Last season, Beckham logged his third straight campaign of 90+ receptions, 1,300+ receiving yards, and 10+ TDs. Only one NFL player (Mike Evans) saw more targets in 2016.

Brandin Cooks, WR Round 2, Pick 16

• On a Scale of 1 to America: How free will Brandin Cooks be in the secondary? He's projected to rack up 1,231 receiving yards this year.

Amari Cooper, WR Round 3, Pick 25

• Essentially Elite?: Though he didn't burst into super-stardom like many predicted, Cooper still delivered last season: only three wide receivers (Evans, Nelson, Brown) were rostered more frequently by first-place fantasy squads in 2016.

Tom Brady, QB Round 4, Pick 36

• Better Lucky Than Good: The rest of 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League overlooked a gem, and Weiner Cleaners made the smartest value pick of the round by taking Tom Brady.

Joe Mixon, RB Round 5, Pick 45

• How Rebellious of You: Weiner Cleaners said 'no' to the tradition of fantasy drafting a RB early, waiting until the fifth round to pick up their first (Joe Mixon).
