2025 - CoPilot TM Week 6 Power Rankings

Forget the standings. Who’s built to win in December? Who’s skating on luck? Let’s find out.


---


๐Ÿฅ‡ Tier 1: Built for the Belt


These teams have elite cores, depth across positions, and matchup-proof flexibility.


1. Forge Flyers (Chris)


Strengths: Explosive RBs, elite WR1, top-tier QB, depth

Roster Core: Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, AJ Brown, Javonte

Chris has the most complete roster in the league. He’s stacked at RB, has a WR1 who can drop 30+, and Mahomes gives him weekly stability. His bench includes Diggs and Stevenson, meaning he can survive injuries and bye weeks without blinking. This is a championship-caliber build.


2. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)


Strengths: Depth, upside, elite bench, strategic flexibility

Roster Core: Gibbs, Cook, Ferguson, Golden, Stafford (with Lamar, Pollard, Aiyuk, Waller on bench)

Naithan’s team is deceptively strong. While the starting lineup is solid, the bench is where the magic lives. Lamar and Pollard are matchup wreckers, and Aiyuk + Waller give him elite flex options. Once Jefferson returns, this team becomes terrifying. Built for playoff chess, not regular season checkers.


3. Great Scott (Geoff)


Strengths: WR dominance, elite RB, top-tier QB

Roster Core: Herbert, CMC, Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Odunze

Geoff’s team is young, explosive, and balanced. CMC is the most valuable RB in fantasy, and Herbert is a top-5 QB. Nacua and MHJ give him weekly ceiling, and Kamara + Kittle on the bench add veteran punch. He’s undefeated for a reason—but he’s also built to stay that way.


---


๐Ÿฅˆ Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks


These teams are strong but need a breakout or trade to reach Tier 1.


4. Buccing the Trend (Michael)


Strengths: WR consistency, RB volume, safe floor

Roster Core: Prescott, Chase, Jacobs, Pickens

Michael’s team is steady and reliable. Chase is heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, and Pickens is a sneaky WR2. The ceiling isn’t as high as Tier 1, but the floor is rock solid. If he adds one more elite piece, he’s a title threat.


5. The Dream Team (Vivek)


Strengths: RB depth, WR upside, QB stability

Roster Core: Hurts, Adams, White, Spears, Charbonnet

Vivek’s team is quietly dangerous. Hurts gives him weekly QB edge, and Adams is still elite. The RBs are young and ascending, and the WR bench has breakout potential. If one of his rookies pops, he could leap into Tier 1.


6. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)


Strengths: WR depth, RB explosiveness, bench flexibility

Roster Core: Barkley, Achane, Allen, Godwin, Metcalf

Tom’s team is built around WR depth and RB volatility. Achane is a home-run hitter, and Barkley is a volume anchor. Allen and Godwin give him a safe WR floor, and Metcalf + London on the bench make him matchup-proof. Needs a QB upgrade to truly contend.


---


๐Ÿฅ‰ Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable


These teams can beat anyone—but also implode on any given week.


7. Old England Red Coats (Ross)


Strengths: Elite QB, TE advantage, WR upside

Roster Core: Allen, Kelce, Wilson, Flowers, Henry

Ross’s team is built around positional advantage. Allen and Kelce give him weekly top-3 scoring at QB and TE, and Flowers is flashing WR1 upside. Henry is aging but still dangerous. If he finds a reliable RB2, this team could surge.


8. Patistan (Patrick)


Strengths: WR talent, RB volatility, breakout potential

Roster Core: Mayfield, Amon-Ra, Olave, Skattebo, Jeanty

Patrick’s team is boom-bust. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Skattebo just exploded. But the RBs are unpredictable, and Mayfield is a risky QB1. If he stabilizes the backfield, he’s a playoff wildcard.


9. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)


Strengths: RB depth, WR youth, QB upside

Roster Core: Maye, Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison

Ben’s team is trending up. Taylor and Kyren are a strong RB duo, and Addison is emerging. Moore is volatile but capable of 25+. If Burrow returns to form, this team could sneak into the playoffs and cause chaos.


---


๐Ÿšจ Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot


These teams need trades, waiver miracles, or divine intervention.


10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)


Strengths: WR talent

Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb

Ollie’s team has WR firepower but no RB support. Waddle and Lamb are elite, but the backfield is a wasteland. Goff is fine, but the ceiling is capped. Needs a trade or waiver gem to stay alive.


11. Oakland Golden Bears (Freddy)


Strengths: RB youth

Roster Core: Nix, Hall, Walker, Pacheco

Freddy’s team has RB talent but no WR consistency. Hall and Walker are solid, and Pacheco is ascending. But the WRs are unreliable, and Nix is a risky QB1. Needs a WR1 and a little luck.


12. Bear Necessities (Dave)


Strengths: WR upside

Roster Core: Daniels, Deebo, Worthy

Dave’s team is officially in rebuild mode. Deebo and Worthy are fun, but the RBs are thin and the QB is volatile. Jefferson is on bye, and the bench is shallow. Time to play spoiler—or shake up the league with a blockbuster.


---


๐Ÿง  Final Thoughts


This league is deep, strategic, and full of sleeper potential. The top teams are built for December, not just October. The middle tier is volatile, and the bottom tier needs to act fast. With bye weeks and injuries looming, the next few weeks will separate the managers from the magicians.

2025 - The Copilot TM Week 5 Power Rankings

Four weeks in, and the contenders are flexing while the rest scramble for relevance. The bye weeks are coming. The panic trades are brewing. Let’s rank.


---


๐Ÿ”ฅ Tier 1: Championship Contenders


These teams are setting the pace and showing no signs of slowing.


1. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)


Record: 2-2 | Points For: 457.86

Yes, the record is .500—but the scoring is elite. Naithan’s squad leads the entire league in points and has faced brutal matchups. Lamar, Pollard, Gibbs, and Keon Coleman are delivering, and the bench depth is real. This team is built for the long haul and could explode once the schedule softens.


2. Forge Flyers (Chris)


Record: 3-1 | Points For: 439.96

Chris’s team is a model of consistency. Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, and Tyreek Hill continue to dominate, and the Flyers are quietly climbing. If they stay healthy, they’re a lock for the playoffs—and a threat to win it all.


3. Buccing the Trend (Michael)


Record: 3-1 | Points For: 415.36

Michael’s squad is surging. A strong record and top-tier scoring make them one of the most balanced teams in the league. They’ve got the depth and the upside to challenge anyone.


---


๐Ÿ’ช Tier 2: Playoff Hopefuls


These teams are winning, scoring, and one breakout away from Tier 1.


4. Great Scott (Geoff)


Record: 4-0 | Points For: 427.12

Undefeated and second in scoring in Portsmouth. Geoff’s team is clutch, consistent, and riding a wave of momentum. But with tougher matchups ahead, we’ll see if they can hold the line.


5. Partisan (Patrick)


Record: 2-2 | Points For: 414.54

Patrick’s team is quietly dangerous. Solid scoring and a balanced roster make them a playoff threat. If they can string together wins, they’ll be knocking on Tier 1’s door.


6. The Dream Team (Vivek)


Record: 2-2 | Points For: 352.76

Vivek’s squad is volatile but capable. Big weeks followed by busts have kept them in the middle tier. If the stars align, they could surge—but they’ll need consistency.


---


๐Ÿงจ Tier 3: Wild Cards & Upset Watch


These teams are unpredictable—capable of brilliance or disaster depending on the week.


7. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)


Record: 3-1 | Points For: 336.80

Tom’s team is winning but not dominating. The scoring is middle-of-the-pack, and the matchups have been favorable. Still, 3-1 is a great place to be, and a breakout game could change the narrative.


8. Wensleydale Wanderers (Ross)


Record: 3-1 | Points For: 330.64

Ross’s team is gritty and efficient. They’re winning without blowing teams out, which suggests strong management and matchup savvy. A few roster upgrades could push them higher.


9. Oakland Goldfish (Freddy)


Record: 2-2 | Points For: 321.72

Freddy’s squad is hanging tough. The scoring is decent, and the record is respectable. They’re one waiver gem or trade away from making noise.


---


๐Ÿ“‰ Tier 4: Panic Button Territory


These teams need a spark—fast.


10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)


Record: 1-3 | Points For: 255.34

Ollie’s team is struggling to find rhythm. The scoring is low, and the losses are piling up. Time to shake up the lineup, hit the waiver wire, or swing a bold trade.


11. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)


Record: 0-3 | Points For: 330.88

Ben’s team is scoring better than some mid-tier squads but still winless. That suggests bad luck or brutal matchups. The pieces are there—just needs a spark.


12. Bear Necessities (Dave)


Record: 0-4 | Points For: 328.72

Dave’s team is officially in crisis mode. The scoring isn’t terrible, but the record is. Jefferson and Deebo can’t carry the whole load. It’s time for a shakeup.


---


๐Ÿง  Final Thoughts


Week 4 has clarified the hierarchy—but also exposed some cracks. The top scorers aren’t always the top seeds, and the winless teams aren’t hopeless. With bye weeks looming and injuries mounting, the next few weeks will be a test of depth, strategy, and boldness.
