Anthony gets AJ first. Let’s see about tenth.

I don’t think Anthony drafted the worst team in the league. AJ gets the first chance to make that opinion less convincing.
Ctrl Alt Defeat have a good backfield, Amon-Ra St. Brown leading the receivers, and choices behind the starters. There’s a difference between having questions and having the worst team. I’d want to see them play before taking tenth too seriously.
But TheJuiceIsLoose aren’t here to help Anthony make a point. AJ has enough receivers to put Davante Adams in the flex. He can get a big week from that group and leave Anthony with a perfectly decent score that still loses. That’s the part that matters more than whether the draft ranking was fair.
The oddsmakers lean slightly toward AJ. I can see it, but I don’t see a big gap. Both teams have enough to win this without needing the other one to fall apart.
Anthony gets to start answering the ranking on the field. AJ gets to make him wait another week. I’d watch this one before deciding either team belongs in the bottom half.
