Power Rankings
1. Forge Flyers, 4-2 (1): And back to normal service. After Coach Leach succumbed to his first loss of the season, Forge Flyers have promptly righted the ship against a quality side. Even without their star qb they still rolled in a great performance, and with a 2 game lead in the division they may already be too far ahead to catch.
2. Burdettinators, 2-4 (2): The luck finally fell Coach Burdett’s way! And by that I mean, he didn’t face an opponent on their great week. Burdettinators had their best week of the season in a long overdue, deserved victory. Time will tell if the monkey on their back is gone for good, but there’s no denying how good this team is.
3. The Dream Team, 3-3 (6): Coach Nathwani may as well rename his team ‘The Yo-Yos’ the amount of times I’ve moved them up and down. But this week I like them again despite losing, because they showed to me there is life post OBJ, and they got Peterson which is looking like a smart add to boot.
4. Patistan, 4-2 (5): The fact that this team is still turning decent day after decent day without their top 2 receivers really doing much of anything so far is impressive in itself. Week in week out they get the points from somewhere, and if those two players turn it on this team will be hard to stop.
5. Gridiron Gang, 4-2 (8): After a slow start, Gridiron Gang has really turned it around with 4 wins on the bounce, which is even more mind boggling when you remember the sheer number of injuries this team has suffered. If we said they were starting McKinnon, Funchess and Kittle in Week 1 you’d think their season was already over. But alas, they are squarely in the thick of it.
6. Bear Necessities, 4-2 (3): So we can go ahead and alter that slogan from #PackersOrPanic to just #Panic. But truth be told, I’m loathe to move them down much further (to begin with at least). It was a bad day at the office on Sunday, and while the other packers are now less appealing, this is still a good team that should be good.
7. ADRZ, 3-3 (4): Remember that uber consistent, decent ADRZ side I was talking about? Yeah you can go ahead and put that out to pasture. I’m not sure what to make of this team now. Their early waiver adds have turned sour, as have many of the options on the team. Will this be a blip, or a trend? We will have to wait and see.
8. IKSAN, 3-3 (7): Speaking of consistency, or the lack thereof, enter IKSAN. This team is all over the place, they can boom or bust, or sit squarely in the middle like they did last week. But looking at the roster they’re lucky last week wasn’t a bust. Especially now without Elliott (for the time being at least), the Winchester division could be about to get even uglier.
9. Cash4Gould, 4-2 (12): Coach Gardner has taken away my favourite stat that they’ve not topped 90 points this season. For shame. But it was a very good week for them last week, and this team is certainly trending upward. They seem to have figured things out selection wise and players are starting to take form.
10. Tanky McTankface, 2-4 (11): What’s this? An on paper performance that actually came through for Coach Merritt? Madness! But yes, the team on paper that looked good has finally delivered. The next question - how long will it last? I’d like to say a while, as I do think this is the best Tanky team we’ve seen, so let’s go with that.
11. Tom’s Tyrants, 1-5 (9): It’s unfortunate Coach Barnes faced TMT last week as they had a good week against the odds, but I do also think this team might also finally be turning the corner. The team still does resemble a house of cards as opposed to bricks, but there’s some glue on there now at least, and they might get some staples soon too.
12. Southampton Narwhals, 1-5 (10): Meanwhile....the cutlery makes it’s first appearance of the season. It’s early. Perhaps too early. But I think 2017 is already done for Southampton Narwhals. They won last week despite Brady, but without an infusion of waiver wire players I can’t see a scenario where this team comes back from 1-5. Stick a fork in ‘em, THEY DONE.
