A look back at the Freakingbeastness Fantasy Draft of 2018: My picks are Stupendous

DISCLAIMER: 

• Position ranking is taken from the end of year stats from each player.
• Pick position ranking is referring to when they were selected in our leagues draft.
  
• I.E. Christian Mccaffrey being the 13th RB selected in the draft means he has a pick position ranking of 13.
• Kickers and Defenses are not taken into account for these reviews. In the draft overview section if it looks like a round is missing, that is where a defense or kicker was selected.

Jak AKA My picks are Stupendous: 

• Rank 2/10
• Record  9-5
• Points Scored: 1,537
• Points Against: 1,388

It’s amazing how much can change over one year of fantasy. Back before the 2018 season Barkley was seen as a risk. Sure he had a ton of upside but he hadn’t played a game yet and nobody truly knew what his usage was going to be. Nevertheless, he was picked in the first round of our draft and the Giant’s Offense decided they were going to exclusively call screen plays every down. 

Mahomes on the other hand, wasn’t even drafted. He was picked up by Jak’s team before week 2 off waivers. He then proceeded to throw for 50 TD’s and win MVP of the league.

They are now both consensus #1 picks for their positions in fantasy this year. 

With these players, and a decent supporting cast, that’s all you really need in this league to make the playoffs. It can even make up for taking Jags D in the 7th round.

​

My picks are Stupendous Average Position Rankings

• QB Ranking: 9th
  
• RB Ranking: 1st
  
• WR Ranking: 7th
  
• TE Ranking: 8th
  

The QB ranking does not take Mahomes into account due to him being picked up after the draft so in reality this ranking should be near the top. Mahomes started every game after being picked up except for his bye week.

No surprise being first for RB ranking, the lowest rated RB drafted by Jak’s team was Kerryon Johnson who exceeded expectations as a rookie and was RB#33.

WR was a different story however, with Michael Thomas being the only consistent contributor.

Yes, he got the 20 PPG from Will Fuller for 4 games but at this point you know that’s all you’re going to get from him. The Josh Gordon pick was a risky one but he did provide a spark during the playoff push averaging 11.1 points from weeks 9-14. I also have to applaud the dedication to the player. Even going so far as to play him in the finals against Hillary Clinton’s Blue Wave despite being suspended from all league activities at the time. 

I’d also like to point out in Rds 12 & 13, Jak selected two Lions players that ended up being ranked #33 and #20 for their positions. 

So close. 

If only Kerryon could’ve done a little bit better.
