The draft analysis thing on Yahoo is pretty cool:

Led by an Elite Group of RBs, Midway Monsters Will Own This League

Draft Summary
Midway Monsters took the second overall pick and wove it into fantasy gold with an expected finish of first in Yahoo Public 1023021 League. Their 12-2-0 projected record is no joke and opponents will need to pull out all the stops if they hope to knock off Midway Monsters. They obviously understand how important the running back position is in fantasy football. They used three of their first five picks on RBs Jamaal Charles (first round), Montee Ball (second round), and Rashad Jennings (fifth round). These guys could be the key to the season for Midway Monsters, as they are the best RB combo in the league.

Nice draft. If there were a Fantasy Football Hall Of Fame, you should nominate yourself. Wait, there is? And you can??

Schedule
Midway Monsters can chalk up Week 9 as a loss. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Based on their opponents' projected points, they have one of the weakest schedules. Midway Monsters has the opportunity to finish the season on a hot streak, as the last four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.

Draft Notes
A Talented Trio
Midway Monsters has three positions on their roster that are stronger than the league's average (TE, RB, and DEF).

Up and Comers
Assembling a squad of rising stars is key to fantasy success and Midway Monsters may have done just that, with five players estimated to top their prior-season numbers by a substantial amount.

Risky Business
It appears that Midway Monsters likes to gamble, as they took chances on six volatile selections.

Mr. Mendoza
Jarrett Boykin is owned in only 6% of all Yahoo! leagues. Let's hope that a.) Midway Monsters has some solid inside information, or b.) he's a close friend of the family.

Player Analysis

Does Jamaal Charles Enjoy Fajitas?
Because his all-purpose yardage figures are sizzling. Charles is projected to rank second in the league with 1,723 total yards.

Traditionalist
Midway Monsters stuck to the tried-and-true fantasy strategy of going RB-RB to start the draft, nabbing Jamaal Charles and Montee Ball right off the bat.

Haters Gonna Hate
The rest of Yahoo Public 1023021 League overlooked a gem, and Midway Monsters made the swaggiest pick of the round by grabbing Julio Jones.

A Big, Reliable Threat
Rob Gronkowski ranks second in the Yahoo Public 1023021 League among TEs with 166 projected fantasy points.

It Was a Learning Experience
Hey, remember that time Midway Monsters took Rashad Jennings WAY too early and the entire draft room erupted in laughter? Jennings was the weakest value pick of the round.

Should I roll the dice with a active but gimpy Jimmy Graham or just play it safe and roll with Delanie Walker?
