This weeks Power Rankings could have easily been considered as having one number 1, ten number 2s and one number 12. But that crap wouldn’t sell. So here we are to give you the rankings you deserve based on mathematical formulas, weekly performances, offensive production, and complete and utter objective judgment.
#1 – Unvaxed Swine (up 1) 2-0:
With the easiest choice for this week’s power rankings, unvaxed swine is the only team in the league still undefeated. Many fans were shocked that only after 2 weeks there is only one team that hasn’t tasted defeat. It just goes to show that the league is as even as it has been in recent years. As expected, the GM made the smart play in keeping QB Rodgers in the lineup as he continued to do what he has always done after playing bad games, score points. His TE continues to look impressive putting up bigger numbers then projected, and the Defense put up a rare but impressive 20-point performance. The one questionable spot that rose over this weekend was the WR play not going as well as one would have thought. However, the GM has already added some depth to the position picking up Slayton off waivers. There will need to be some improvement at the WR position as it is unlikely their defense won’t perform like that every week.
#2 – #SAYHERNAME (down 1) 1-1:
#SHN didn’t have the same outcome this week as it’s record setting week 1 performance. Still, they had solid numbers put up from the starting positions. Where they struggled to see points was in their flex positions and TE position. The game would have been a lot closer had they had the Bears Def starting, but who could of predicted the scoring outburst from them. A mid week add of the Carolina Def now has them sitting with two Top 5 defenses after just two weeks so there shouldn’t be any issue with that position. Although they saw some scoring struggles this week, as they were the second lowest score this week, their ceiling is still very high on the offensive side of the ball as they showed in week 1.
#3 – Team joshholtcamp (up 2) 1-1:
The GM for Team joshholtcamp has set this team up in a very good position by adding an abundance of RBs to his team which is a trend he continued during this midweek on waivers. His two biggest performers at that position weren’t even in his starting lineup and he still managed to come out with a win this week. One thing that is something to keep an eye on is that Prescott had an atrocious game after a stellar return to action in week 1. You shouldn’t expect that trend to continue but it remains to be seen if he can be a consistently reliable starter option for the team. We could definitely see some trades proposed with the RB options that have been acquired by this team.
#4 – Team Sheltontill (up 6) 1-1:
Making the biggest movement this week is Team Sheltontill. Following another consecutive 33 point game from QB Murray, the rookie GM finally achieved his first win in his history with the league. The strength of this team is that they have the most consistent players in the league in Murray, McCaffrey, Henderson, and Allen putting up almost identical numbers in the first two weeks. In addition to that, the players that underperformed didn’t do horrible. They still scored some points that complemented the playmakers well and your team is set up in good positions when that happens. The two weak links of this team is by far the K and Def positions. We have seen some movement on the waivers from the rookie GM but have yet to see anything to try and secure a more reliable Def.
#5 – Blow Your Waddle (up 1) 1-1:
Blow Your Waddle is riding a fantastic performance from Kupp the first two weeks as he is leading the league in points for WRs. Their WRs and TE was the strength of the team this week as they all put up double digits. The struggle for this team has been at QB play as Tannehill just hasn’t hit his potential yet, but the GM has tried to rectify that by making an addition with Fields at the position and dropping Burrow. In addition, the GM has gotten snubbed twice on waiver claims as he has tried to strengthen his roster with a Def and WR. Despite that, one thing that needs to happen for this team is more consistent RB play from week to week.
#6 – Basdenators (down 3) 1-1:
Regardless of a K who never got a chance to score any points and a Flex WR, The Basdenators had one of the more solid performances throughout the starting roster in week 2. But when the opposing team has two players who put up 76 points, it is extremely hard to escape the weekend with a win. You didn’t see a big breakout game from any particular player on the team, but each player put up enough points to keep the team in the game excluding Davis and Sanders. Unlike his opposing GM from last weekend, we have seen Basdenators’ GM make a switch a K with Hopkins and add some extra depth at WR by picking up Osborn, both of those off of waivers.
#7 – Hurts to Lose (down 3) 1-1:
The GM of Hurts to Lose has been quiet in the FA pool this week after adding White, Goff, Reagor, and the Browns last week to the team. The thing that hurt this team this past weekend was the poor play at the WR positions. The QB position was a worry going late into the game but a late rushing touchdown from Hurts gave them a push to a lead going into Monday night. However, the two players left to play for BYW was too much for a minimal lead for HtL to hang on to a win. A positive note for this team is that the bench amassed a number of points from White and Pittman which leaves some decisions to be made to the starting lineup. Either way the potential to score is there. The GM just has to put the right players in the line up during the right weeks. A task easier said then done.
#8 – McRib is back! (up 3) 1-1:
The record setting performance from Henry was one to marvel at as he and Jackson compiled 58% of the teams total points. Besides Ridley and Cooks, the rest of the team was unimpressive to say the least and causes some real concern for the fans of this team. What is more concerning is the GM has been silent on the FA market without making any moves. It seems like he is putting all his stock in his draft picks to pull it out instead of looking for other options. At some point though, there has to be a time in which this GM makes a choice to cut those who aren’t performing. We will have to keep an eye on the transaction list to see when that point will come.
#9 – Bishop Sycamore (down 2) 1-1:
Bishop Sycamore’s GM is still on the hunt for a starting QB by using his waiver order to pick up Carr this week. While he definitely fits the age requirement, we will see if the LV QB can solidify his spot as the starter on the roster for Bishop Sycamore. This is arguably the most disappointing loss this week in the league as poor QB play and a goose egg from the Def slot negated a colossal performance from Jones. It also hurts that the one WR who had the biggest performance was left on the bench where everything is made up and the points don’t matter.
#10 – Hung Dawg (up 2) 1-1:
Maybe the biggest surprise of the week after such a poor showing in week 1 was the scoring outburst by Hung Dawg. The rookie GM is ecstatic as it didn’t take long to get the first win under his belt. With the most solid performance all around in the starting lineup this week, Hung Dawg easily got the win with near double digit performances from every starter in the lineup bar the K. It is hard to find a weakness with this team when they are performing this well. However, it is yet to be seen if this team has the consistency to keep it up from here on out. Was the first week just a slow start? Or will this team be like one of the Migos’ top songs in 2014 and be wishy washy? One thing that is concerning is that there seems to be absolutely no depth on the bench with this team as their were three players who were pointless (note that one of them is being held for injury).
#11 – Mitch, You Guessed It (down 3) 1-1:
Mitch, You Guessed It still has a chance to be a sleeper team to pull out in front in a big way. With a majority of the team having 3 year or less experience in the league, the biggest issue that this team is facing is that the offense is off to a slow start. Allen, Claypool, and Edwards-Helaire have yet to put together a big game and there have been some inconsistencies from other positions as well. You feel like once this team gets it figured out and rolling along they have the potential to continue to climb each week. The GM has been making some additions during the week as well and seems to be pushing for that climb to happen sooner than later.
#12 – The Fantasy Football Team (down 3) 0-2:
The Fantasy Football Team is the lone winless team and find theirselves in the bottom spot of the power rankings this week. This team has one of the higher floors as they have managed to score 112 both weeks. In addition, the GM has made probably one of the best moves this mid week in adding Patterson to their roster off of waivers who is interestingly enough listed as a RB and WR so can be put in either of the 6 slots on the starting lineup. He is riding the decision to only have one QB on the roster, but Stafford has performed well the first two weeks. Lastly, the GM is showing some unwavering patience waiting for the 1st round pick Barkley to really get going and it feels like it is only a matter of time.
