WHAT'S COMING UP: In a "League" first, we’re going to find out what these football addicts watch during the NFL off-season. “In the premiere, we get to see them when there’s no football at all,” says creator Jeff Schaffer. “They’re also going to go to the NFL Draft and mess things up.” The fourth episode, meanwhile, will tackle “Deflategate,” and Schaffer reveals that they are prepping multiple versions as the real-life story continues to unfold. And since this is the "League’s" final season, there will be a parade of fan favorite guest stars making return appearances, including Rob Riggle, Seth Rogen, Zach Woods, Aziz Ansari, June Diane Raphael, and Leslie Bibb.

All five of these hitters were drafted highly in fantasy baseball leagues. So far, they have not lived up to their ADPs — and that's an understatement. Scott Pianowski analyzes.
