Draft Summary
Bug Busters wasn't constrained by picking last in the first round. Like a jackrabbit in a footrace, Bug Busters was able to turn their relative weakness into their advantage. Now that the dust has settled a bit, they are projected to have the best team with 2,582 points and a record of 13-1-0. They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Peyton Manning (11th overall), RB Toby Gerhart (30th), WR Michael Crabtree (50th), and TE Jimmy Graham (10th) within the first five rounds. They put together the best QB pair in the league, as they have Manning and Tom Brady on the roster.
Draft Notes
Asset Allocation
TE is the strongest position for Bug Busters, though QB and DEF aren't too shabby either.
Risk Averse
Bug Busters minimized risk by choosing six consistent players among their 15 picks.
A Pair of Proven Winners
Bug Busters has a couple of fantasy MVPs in their lineup. Last season, two of their players (Jimmy Graham and Peyton Manning) finished among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams.
No Back-Up No Cry
Ignoring roster depth, Bug Busters chose only one player at three different positions (TE, DEF, and K).
A Versatile Combination
Shane Vereen can hurt opponents with his hands as well as his feet. He ranks first among RBs in projected receiving yards with 596.
Bug Busters Went All YOLO Here
Grabbing Lavonte David at pick 130 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. David is owned on just a few rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
