In Spite of Some Early-Round Reaches, Munchma Quchi Drafted Like a Yahoo Expert

B

Draft Summary

This draft by Munchma Quchi was like a finely tuned Peyton Manning-led offense, with all the pieces falling into place. Just like Peyton's offense, Munchma Quchi is expected to score a lot of points this season and finish second in 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League at 10-4-0 (1,599 points). They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Drew Brees (30th overall), RB DeMarco Murray (10th), WR A.J. Green (11th), and TE Jimmy Graham (50th) within the first five rounds. They ultimately landed one of the most prolific WR pairs in the league, as they added Green and Martavis Bryant to their fantasy roster.

Munchma Quchi might as well plan a vacation for Week 8. 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 the least challenging slate. Along with having the easiest overall schedule, Munchma Quchi has the easiest first four games of the season.

Player Analysis

DeMarco Murray, RB Round 1, Pick 10

• Munchma Quchi is Down With DeMarco: Finishing the year with 1,664 total yards and 12 touchdowns, only David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell appeared on more postseason fantasy rosters than Murray.

A.J. Green, WR Round 2, Pick 11

• Munchma Quchi Gets Groovy With Green: A.J. averaged 11.0 targets, 7.3 receptions, and 107.1 yards in nine games prior to getting injured in Week 11 last year. The 29-year-old Bengals star is healthy and primed for a big campaign this season.

Drew Brees, QB Round 3, Pick 30

• A High-Volume Passer: Brees led the NFL in attempts, completions, and passing yardage last season. Among all QBs, only Brady and Rodgers appeared on more championship rosters than the future Hall-of-Famer in 2016.

Kareem Hunt, RB Round 4, Pick 31

• A Bit of a Reach: Munchma Quchi went out on a limb with their fourth-round pick. Across all Yahoo! leagues, Kareem Hunt has an ADP of 72.4, but he was grabbed at pick No. 31. Patience is a virtue, Munchma Quchi.

Jimmy Graham, TE: Round 5, Pick 50

• The rest of 17 The MoistureMissile Awakens League overlooked a gem, and Munchma Quchi made the smartest value pick of the round by taking Jimmy Graham.
