WEEK 3 BEASTS

April 20 - April 26

At the start of a new week I plan to take a look at the best possible team that could have been fielded the previous week. Even though I don't fully agree with them, since I currently am too lazy to determine value myself I am for now and probably for the rest of the year just going to use Yahoo!’s weekly ranking and a photo (of my choosing) from what's available in the player's Yahoo! profile from that same week.

If a player is eligible for multiple positions, I’ll stick them in the position where there is the largest gap between them and the next best player for that position.
