2025 - CoPilot TM Week 11 Power Rankings

“The standings tell one story. The rosters tell another.”


---


🥇 Tier 1 — Championship-Ready


Elite cores, depth, and matchup-proof flexibility.


1. Forge Flyers (Chris) — 5-5, 1066.5 pts


• Why #1: Highest points scored in the league. Mahomes + Bijan + Etienne + AJ Brown + Diggs is a nightmare core. Depth with Javonte and Stevenson means he can absorb injuries.

• Outlook: Record is deceiving — this is the most complete team on paper. Built for December.



2. Great Scott (Geoff) — 10-0, 996.5 pts


• Why #2: Undefeated, anchored by Herbert + CMC + Nacua + Marvin Harrison Jr. + Odunze. Kamara and Kittle add veteran depth.

• Outlook: Slightly less explosive than Chris’s roster, but consistency and balance keep him dominant.



3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) — 5-5, 1011.0 pts


• Why #3: Lamar Jackson is surging, Gibbs is ascending, Cook is steady, and TreVeyon Henderson adds explosive upside. WRs (Tucker, Wan’Dale) are matchup-dependent, but Jefferson’s return will elevate the roster.

• Outlook: Dangerous playoff team once healthy. Depth makes this roster flexible and resilient.



---


🥈 Tier 2 — Playoff Locks with Cracks


Strong builds with room to grow or trade into Tier 1.


4. Buccing the Trend (Michael) — 6-4, 1059.0 pts


• Why #4: Chase heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, Pickens is a sneaky WR2. Prescott is steady.

• Outlook: High floor, but ceiling capped unless he adds another elite piece.



5. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) — 6-4, 965.9 pts


• Why #5: Barkley + Achane is explosive, Allen + Godwin provide WR stability, Metcalf adds depth.

• Outlook: Needs QB consistency to push higher, but roster is playoff-ready.



6. The Dream Team (Vivek) — 5-5, 937.3 pts


• Why #6: Hurts + Adams is a strong core, RBs (White, Spears, Charbonnet) are young and ascending.

• Outlook: Needs WR consistency to climb, but dangerous if rookies pop.



---


🥉 Tier 3 — High Variance


Capable of big wins, but vulnerable to volatility.


7. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) — 5-5, 973.3 pts


• Why #7: Taylor + Kyren is strong, Addison is emerging, DJ Moore is volatile.

• Impact: Burrow’s season-ending injury is a huge blow — QB streaming caps ceiling.

• Outlook: Still competitive, but no longer Tier 2 without a stable QB.



8. Patistan (Patrick) — 4-6, 974.4 pts


• Why #8: Amon-Ra + Olave are elite WRs, Jeanty is promising.

• Impact: Skattebo’s season-ending injury gutted RB depth.

• Outlook: Needs a waiver miracle or trade to stay alive.



9. Stokes Bay Stackers (Ross) — 5-5, 864.6 pts


• Why #9: Allen + Kelce give positional advantage, Flowers is flashing WR1 upside, Henry still dangerous.

• Outlook: Middling supporting cast keeps him volatile week to week.



---


🚨 Tier 4 — Rebuild / Salvage Mission


Short on balance or depth; need aggressive moves or lucky pickups.


10. Bear Necessities (Dave) — 2-8, 877.2 pts


• Why #10: Deebo + Worthy are fun, but RBs are thin and QB volatile.

• Outlook: Needs trades to salvage; otherwise spoiler role.



11. Oakland Golden Bears (Freddy) — 2-8, 836.6 pts


• Why #11: Hall + Walker + Pacheco is solid RB trio, but WRs unreliable and Nix risky.

• Outlook: Needs WR1 to climb.



12. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie) — 5-5, 749.2 pts


• Why #12: Despite record, points scored are lowest. WRs (Waddle, Lamb) are strong, but RB/QB holes limit upside.

• Outlook: Needs bold trade to stay relevant.



---


🧠 Final Thoughts


• Top tier (Chris, Geoff, Naithan) are built for December.

• Middle tier (Michael, Tom, Vivek) are playoff locks but need one more move.

• Ben & Patrick took major hits with Burrow and Skattebo out — they’re now volatile wildcards.

• Bottom tier needs trades or waiver miracles.

2025 - The CoPilot TM Week 10 Power Rankings

Tier 1 — Championship-ready


These teams combine elite weekly floors with top-end ceilings and the depth to survive byes/injuries.


1. Great Scott (Geoff) — 9‑0, 903.8 pts

Why #1: The single best starting five in the league — Herbert + CMC + Nacua + MHJ + Odunze. That starting lineup wins weeks on its own; bench veterans (Kamara, Kittle) preserve upside and trade currency. Risk: minimal; upside to finish first seed.

2. Forge Flyers (Chris) — 5‑4, 970.36 pts

Why #2: Highest points for in the entire pool. Mahomes + two elite RBs/WRs = sustained scoring. Slightly lower seed because record/bye timing has been rough, but roster construction is arguably the most complete.

3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) — 5‑4, 909.02 pts

Why #3: High-upside, flexible roster. Lamar gives weekly boom potential; Gibbs + Cook + TreVeyon form a strong RB group with complementary roles. Bench depth and movable pieces (Dobbins/Pollard/Aiyuk) make this a dangerous playoff team once matchups are optimized.



---


Tier 2 — Top contenders who need a push


One or two gaps separate these squads from elite status — still very playable.


1. Buccing The Trend (Michael) — 6‑3, 975.96 pts

Why #4: Extremely high season scoring and consistent floor. If Michael adds a single high‑ceiling RB or WR, this team becomes a title favorite.

2. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) — 4‑5, 861.28 pts (after Burrow update)

Why #5: RB group and WR depth remain strong, but losing Burrow to a long absence is a real ceiling capper. With competent streaming QBs and smart waiver moves he’s still dangerous, but volatility increases.

3. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) — 5‑4, 862.44 pts

Why #6: Strong WR room and an explosive RB. A QB upgrade or a timely breakout from bench pieces would vault Tom upward; current construction leaves him just shy of Tier 1.



---


Tier 3 — High variance / hungry for balance


Can beat anyone — can also cough up ugly weeks. Needs healthier balance.


1. The Dream Team (Vivek) — 4‑5, 821.32 pts

Why #7: Good QB/WR/return assets. Needs steadier RB production to reduce week‑to‑week volatility.

2. Patistan (Patrick) — 3‑6, 852.34 pts (after Skattebo season‑ending)

Why #8: Amon‑Ra and Olave provide high ceilings, but losing Skattebo cost the RB depth and forced Patrick into a riskier weekly setup. Trade or waiver RB is the immediate priority.

3. Plymouth Pa… / Cardiff Sheep (Ross) — 5‑4, 797.06 pts

Why #9: Strong positional advantages (top QB or TE pairing in many weeks), but middling supporting cast. If Ross stabilizes a second reliable RB or bench WR, he’s a solid sleeper.



---


Tier 4 — Rebuild / salvage mission


Short on balance or depth; need aggressive moves or lucky pickups.


1. Bear Necessities (Dave) — 2‑7, 793.68 pts

Why #10: Some nice pieces but roster construction has left the team RB‑thin and inconsistent. Needs targeted trades for immediate impact.

2. Oakland Goldminers (Freddy) — 2‑7, 758.08 pts

Why #11: Scoring has been middling; roster needs WR stability and fewer high‑variance weekly decisions to climb.

3. Make Kitchen Great Again (Ollie) — 4‑5, 667.46 pts

Why #12: Despite a respectable record, total points show a capped ceiling. WRs may be solid, but RB & QB holes limit playoff upside without a major transaction.

LOC On The Clock - Week 9 2025

2025 - CoPilot TM Week 9 Power Rankings

“Forget the standings. This is about who’s built to win in December.”


---


🥇 Tier 1: Built for the Belt


Elite cores, depth, and matchup-proof flexibility.


1. Forge Flyers (Chris) – 5-3, 894.56 pts


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

Chris leads the league in total points and has a terrifying RB duo. Mahomes gives him weekly stability, and AJ Brown + Diggs offer WR1 upside. Depth is elite with Javonte, Stevenson, and Seahawks D. This is the most complete team on paper.


2. Great Scott (Geoff) – 8-0, 799.80 pts


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

Geoff’s undefeated run is backed by a lethal starting lineup. 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 add veteran punch. Slightly less depth than Forge Flyers, but the starters are elite.


3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) – 4-4, 809.96 pts


Roster Core: Lamar Jackson, Gibbs, James Cook, TreVeyon Henderson, Tre Tucker, Wan’Dale Robinson

Naithan’s team is built for playoff chess. Lamar just dropped 4 TDs, Gibbs is surging, and Cook remains a volume play. TreVeyon Henderson adds explosive upside, while Tucker and Robinson are matchup-dependent WRs. The bench is deep with Dobbins, Monangai, Sutton, and Aiyuk (PUP). Jefferson’s return could be the playoff unlock.


---


🥈 Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks


Strong builds with room to grow or trade into Tier 1.


4. Buccing the Trend (Michael) – 6-2, 886.56 pts


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. Needs one more elite piece to contend.


5. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) – 6-2, 783.67 pts


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.


6. The Dream Team (Vivek) – 4-4, 818.18 pts


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. Needs WR consistency to climb.


---


🥉 Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable


Capable of big wins, but vulnerable to volatility.


7. Cardiff Sheep (Ross) – 4-4, 688.24 pts


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. Needs a reliable RB2.


8. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) – 5-3, 832.92 pts


Roster Core: Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison

Burrow’s likely season-ending injury is a major blow. Ben now relies on Drake Maye or a waiver QB, which caps his weekly ceiling. Taylor and Kyren are strong, and Addison is emerging, but without a stable QB, this team drops a tier.


9. Patistan (Patrick) – 3-5, 756.00 pts


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

Skattebo’s season-ending injury removes Patrick’s breakout RB. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Jeanty is promising, but the backfield is now thin and Mayfield remains volatile. Needs a waiver miracle or trade to stay alive.


---


🚨 Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot


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


10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Mike) – 3-5, 575.50 pts


Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb

Mike’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 Goldminers (Freddy) – 2-6, 672.38 pts


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) – 1-7, 682.54 pts


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.


Saturday, 11 October 2025

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.


---


🥇 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.


---


🥈 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.


---


🥉 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.


---


🚨 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.


---


🧠 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.
