2018 Power Rankings: Week 3

2018 Power Rankings: Week 3

Good evening all, here are, as promised, your one-day late power rankings! I know how hard it must have been you wait a whole extra 24 hours to get your weekly dose of EDOTLOCCA related media, especially for those of you expecting a healthy boost in the rankings. Well, you lucky lucky people, wait no longer!

…Okay sorry, tiny bit longer. I have decided to include changes in the rankings for each team as well week on week, just thought you should know. Now for real this time, let’s go!

12. Bear Necessities (1-1-0) – No change

Okay, this is technically on non-mover, but Bear Necessities has moved a lot, LOT closer to spot number 11 after putting up an impressive score and getting the win. They will be much happier with what they saw from Travis Kelce last week, but will need some solid RB production to emerge from somewhere in order to keep adding W’s and, surprisingly, leading the Winchester division.

11. The Dream Team (0-2-0) – Down 1

Kept off the bottom spot by an impressive average score, despite the two losses so far. This team is still building high points totals off of individual player performances, which could be deemed a good thing, until nobody has a particularly special week. Peyton Barber suddenly isn’t looking like a draft steal, or an RB2.

10. Patistan (0-2-0) – Down 4

Big drop for Coach Allen here who, after two weeks, has the lowest total point total and not a win to his name. Shaky RB play has been a theme of this end of the rankings, and it is no different here. News of an unhappy Antonio Brown and watching the Jags teach the league how to nullify Gronk will be of equal concern.

9. IKSAN (1-1-0) – Down 2

After what I called a healthy rise up the rankings last week, Coach Sherwood makes a very unhealthy fall back to where he was. The big name players (excluding Hopkins) didn’t show up in Week 2 and it showed. At the risk of sounding like a broken record… RBs.

8. Burdettinators (1-1-0) – Up 3

Building on an encouraging Week 1, Burdettinators pick up the win in Week 2 and deserve their bump up the rankings. The RB room looks like they will be set for consistent volume and will have some bigger weeks in the future, now Coach Burdett just needs to focus on getting the right supporting cast around them and this team will start moving further up the rankings.

7. Obi Wan Ganobi (2-0-0) – Up 2

Despite being one of three undefeated teams, Obi Wan Ganobi find themselves in the bottom half of the rankings still, just. They move up for another decent week, but are stunted for now by a total score only good enough for 9^th overall vs. least conceded points. Maybe get that kid from KC on? He seems decent.

6. Gridiron Gang (0-2-0) – Down 4

Coach Stubbs Jr. might be just in feeling a little cheated sitting at 0-2, but in all honesty, a high score from Big Ben masked what would have otherwise been a poor week for the team. They will be looking forward to having Fournette back and healthy, whilst Breida looks like he could turn into a draft steal.

5. Hooked on a Thielen (1-1-0) – No change

Despite being unable to fill the shoes of the almighty Dak Street Boys, Hooked on a Thielen stay unchanged as everyone else shuffles around them. Their week wasn’t as terrible as the points total makes out as they were hurt by injuries to Zuerlein and Ajayi. The Ajayi injury in particular may be the first big hurdle for this team with question marks over depth.

4. ADRZ (1-1-0) – Up 4

A good win for a coach with a penchant for getting the right guys on the pitch. Down his RB2 (and second round pick) before KO, Coach Wells showed a glimmer of poor depth, but his other starters rallied well. The receiving core made entirely of deep threats seems to be working a treat, and that was before one of them went to play with Mr Brady.

3. Forge Flyers (2-0-0) – Down 2

Coach Leach called it in the podcast that his team was ranked too high, but then proved in Week 2 that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good. The RB room took another hit with Mixon set to miss a few weeks and, after a pretty torrid score in Week 2, the outlook looks kind of bleak right now. The fall halts at spot 3 thanks to the empty loss column.

 2. Tom’s Tyrants (1-1-0) – Up 1

Unlucky to face the only team that could beat them in Week 2, the Tyrants make a minor climb based mainly on the fact that those above them did worse. This could potentially be the most balanced roster in the LOC at the moment, but the Chargers RB room creeping closer and closer to a committee is not welcome news.

1. The Tuckfards (2-0-0) – Up 3

The Tuckfards were the easiest team to place in these rankings, and that is the biggest compliment I can pay them. Top scorer in Week 1, top scorer in Week 2, nobody wants to face them right now. They even have depth. The one slight knock would be to the TE room but, in the grand scheme of things, that isn’t changing the fact that this team has its eyes firmly on a return to the playoffs.
