Power Rankings: Week 3

Week 2 is in the books and the LOC season is now in full swing. Week 1 didn't turn up much in terms of waiver picks and overwhelming surprises, but Week 2 sure has. Injuries to key players, trends developing, and the location of where the power lays in the LOC is slowly becoming more evident.

Power Rankings

1. Bear Necessities, 2-0 (1): What do you do after a momentous week 1 win? Follow up with another of course. The highest scoring team through 2 games already looks well on their way to the Playoffs. They're probably not going to be able to sustain this hot start, but points are coming from everywhere, and Coach Stubbs Sr. has yet to even make a patented waiver add.

2. The Dream Team, 1-1 (3): After being the highest scoring loser in Week 1, Coach Nathwani promptly follows up with a Week 2 W. Just another solid week, and we could see two playoff teams emerging from the Portsmouth division. Like I predicted, this teams points would spread out more and end up at a similar total. They're on course for a fine season.

3. Tom's Tyrants, 1-1 (2): By all accounts, just a dreadful week for Coach Barnes. But they remain at 3 because they had some horrific match ups and I put this down to just a bad week. I have full confidence in a rebound, and they've also got some nice options on the bench.

4. IKNAN, 1-1, (5): Another case of a bit of a down week, but the points still coming in regardless. This team looks deep, plain and simple. Still without Charles, and Fitzgerald was even on the bench this week, they're looking like a strong team early on despite a so-so week 1.

5. Burdettinators, 2-0 (6): After a somewhat fortunate Week 1 victory, Coach Burdett followed up with a good Week 2 and another win. Now, they only had a few players go over 10 points last week, but they still managed to go over 100. Key performers didn't even get the points, and they left a tonne on the bench. This team will be just fine.

6. Gridiron Gang, 2-0 (7): Despite losing a player to injury early on, Coach Stubbs Jr. secures a second win, and Gridiron Gang are off to their best start in their 8 year history. All the players on the starting lineup didn't necessarily fire, but they have a plethora of options on the bench. They aren't going to light up the scoreboard, but they should be able to grind wins out.

7. The Bunch, 1-1 (4): A bit of a disappointing week after a promising Week 1 for Coach Nunn. Look, by all accounts it was just a bad week. Brown, Hill and Hyde majorly disappointed which was the reason for their struggles. While depth remains an issue, this starting lineup should be good enough to earn a decent amount of wins this season.

8. Forge Flyers, 1-1 (8): And just as Forge Flyers looked ready to appear in the top half of the power rankings again...They lose Peterson and Woodhead in the same game. It's another case of woeful bad luck for Coach Leach, but they do have options on the bench, so I think they'll be able to have good weeks. Also, the Jeff Fisher of the LOC also got an impressive win this week, congrats.

9. ADRZ, 0-2 (12): It's been a tough start to the season for the current champ. There have been points for this team however, so it's not all doom and gloom. While RBs are still an issue, this team has got some players at its disposal and I fully expect Coach Wells to rebound sooner rather than later.

10. Patistan, 0-2 (11): A brutal start to the season for Coach Allen, who has left the most fantasy points in his bench so far. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, it means the team is capable of scoring points. While this roster has certainly taken some dings since the start of the season, they should be capable of a rebound.

11. Cash4Gould, 1-1 (9): Unfortunately for Coach Gardner, this was the type of performance we saw coming before week 1. Look, it was an awful week, and while they're not always going to be as bad as that, this team is going to have to grind games out on a weekly basis. They've certainly got some names, I just wonder if they can find the consistency.

12. The Tuckfards, 0-2 (10): We've never seen Coach Merritt in a position quite like this before. Perhaps this is right where he wants us. But as of right now, his finger must be hovering over the panic button. They haven't shown a great deal through two weeks, and their only healthy RBs on the roster are West and Yeldon. But, they're still yet to get Gronk back, so expect a typical Tuckfards turnaround.
