Power Rankings
1. Tom's Tyrants, 1-0 (5): Mightily impressive Week 1 by the current champ. On a week where there starting QB under performed and their top receiver got injured, they still lead in scoring. While it's unrealistic to expect a boom every week from a few of the players that exploded this week, it's still shaping up as a very strong roster. The injury to Bryant hurts, but I think they can withstand it.
2.The Romosexuals, 1-0 (8): What rust? Did this coach even retire? Their week was entirely made up of 4 players, but it's a great core to have. Especially when you consider their two premier receivers probably had what will be among their worst weeks of the season (not to mention 2 zeros from K and FLEX). This performance should have the rest of the league paying attention.
3. Burdettinators, 1-0 (1): A solid week for a team that was expected to hit the ground running. While their K and Defense pitched in an unsustainable 39 points, you've got to figure other spots on the team will make up for a sub par Week 1. While they have more question marks now than they did after draft day, it's too soon for the issues to be considered a realistic problem for the coach.
4. Gridiron Gang, 1-0 (7): The curse is broken, Coach N. Stubbs has finally won a Week 1 game in his 7th season. Not only that, they put up the 2nd highest score of the week, with a bit fat zero from an injured player. They were helped a lot by some big performances (one in particular that won't happen again), they have the look of a good team.
5. Bear Necessities, 0-1 (2): This team might feel a bit cheated after Week 1, after a great performance from their opponent. It was a solid but unspectacular week for most of the players on this time, but while you would expect some players to regress from their point totals, you would also expect some to increase. They should be a solid team, but it's unclear if they'll develop into a front runner.
6. IKNAN, 1-0 (6): All in all, a nice performance from this team that could have been even better. They were without their 3rd round draft pick, and still managed 100 points. An injury to their starting RB is very unsettling for the coach, but this position was never a strength of the team in the first place. Expect another solid but perhaps not explosive week from them next week.
7. Patistan, 0-1 (12): If you look down the scoresheet for this team, they were extremely consistent. No player had a great week, but only one really had a terrible week. What's most encouraging is that if you look closer, this team put up nearly 100 points with only 2 TDs. That's a very promising sign, as you'd expect the TD total to go up from that. Patistan have quietly assembled a nice team.
8. ADRZ, 1-0, (11): It was a slender week for this team, but they got the W. The teams fairly standard 85 points was on the back of 4 players, with the other 5 really not making much noise. This team has the looks of a low ceiling variety, but if they can consistently get 85-100 points they should have a good season. Week 2 will be an interesting one for this team.
9. Jeff's Seals, 0-1 (4): Not a bad Week 1 from the sophomore coach, and they were only a hair away from securing a victory. There's definitely a lot of potential with this team, and to be honest that didn't really materialise in Week 1, which makes their point total look more impressive. With good management, this is another team you shouldn't sleep on this season.
10. Forge Flyers, 0-1 (9): Not the start to the season that this coach was vying for. If you take out the 31 points from the K and Defense, the other 7 only amassed 57 points. RB could be shaping up as a problem for this team, but you'd expect the QB to have better weeks and the star receiver to bounce back too. Week 2 should be a bounce back for this team.
11. The Dream Team, 0-1 (3): This team came out of the gates rather flat. You can't help but feel this will be among their lowest point totals of the season though. They had tough match ups, an ailing starter and under performers. Don't expect this team to do this badly again next week. An infusion from the waiver wire should give them the kick start they need.
12. The Tuckfards, 0-1 (10): Is The Tuckfards era coming to an end? At the risk of giving this coach bulletin board material, this was a rather concerning Week 1. While they will typically get more points from the Defense, my worries about two receivers from the same team materialised (though they will have better weeks). Their RBs should do better as well. It's not time to hit the panic button yet, but this team is a situation to monitor.
