2019 Power Rankings: Week 6

2019 Power Rankings: Week 6

Good evening gents! Okay, maybe at this point Thursday has just become a thing. TNF and TNPR, ideal combo. Little bit of history passed this week with the first ever Tottenham Bowl, but that isn’t why you’re here, you’re here to find out how your team is doing in the eyes of the all-knowing EDOTLOCCA. Well, far be it from me to ruin the fun, read on good people.

12. Patistan (1-4) – No Change

Ugh, it is getting harder to feel sorry for them when they continue to flatter to deceive. They spent big money on Howard and he was alright, Adams was the big trade acquisition and he got injured, Coach Allen might be feeling a little bit of 2018 deja vu. If they can get healthy and make some smart pickups, they can get more competitive, they just need to hurry up about it.

11. Buccing The Trend (2-3) – Down 1

That is unfortunate. The win would have been far from impressive, but it looked like they had the league leaders exactly where they wanted them. The Melvin Gordon homecoming was… underwhelming… but he was on the pitch at least! And Adam Thielen made an appearance too! For a 61 point week and a loss, there are a surprising number of positives to take from this, and they finally kicked Baker (as recommended here), overdue!

10. The Dream Team (2-3) – Down 1

A win is a win, however you get it. Definitely promising to see Ertz get into the endzone and Zeke continuing to well even in a negative gamescript. Mixon and Diggs are continuing to hamstring this team though and the bench aren’t setting the world on fire. Work still to be done.

9. Gridiron Gang (1-4) – Down 3

Aaaand, after another ‘meh’ week, as promised, down they go. Lots looked good on paper, but it certainly did not jump off the page and dazzle anyone. Coach Stubbs Jr. will be hoping that Lindsay just showed a glimpse off what’s to come, but that Denver attack has been hard to trust. Freeman is starting to show up, but Hopkins remains on the milk carton.

8. Ellotta Points This Week (2-3) – Down 3

Shame they didn’t call themselves ‘Ellotta Points on Thursday Night’. What looked so good coming into the weekend, ended up with the most one-sided game of the season. That wasn’t all on them, but the issues remain the same, this team’s foundations are built on inconsistency.

7. Lord Of The Ringrams (3-2) – Up 4

Right, I have been too harsh on this team for too long, they definitely put it all together in Week 5. The core of the team continues to look solid and the Thomas trade looks like amazing timing. Thanks partly to that aforementioned trade as well, this is the deepest roster Coach Nunn has ever had.

6. Tom’s Tyrants (3-2) – Up 1

I said last week that they were only a few decent streams away from having something. Well they finally put up over 100 points, if they can prove that this is the real team and not the one from the first few weeks, they could trend up further.

5. Burdettinators (2-3) – Up 3

Wow, Coach Burdett clearly passed out the Power Rankings in the locker room. Previously, only Jackson was at the party, but last week the rest of the team arrived and I doubt anyone will surpass that score for the rest of the season. Don’t get me wrong, most of it screams unsustainable, but Aaron Jones is screaming superstar.

4. The Tuckfards (4-1) – Down 3

Okay, call it more than a chink. I mean, don’t get me wrong, they won, but putting up below 70 points is more than a warning sign. Injuries, pointless back up QB, the team already seems to need a change of tyres – and we’re only a few laps in. Has Coach Merritt got a classically unassuming waiver wire gem up his sleeve?

So there’s a new No. 1, better keep reading…

3. Forge Flyers (3-2) – No Change

McCaffrey continues to be a human cheat code, but he wasn’t enough this week. They put up a decent score despite the loss, but I’d hazard the Mike Evans game is starting to get a little less fun. Let’s see how they deal with their only personal bye week hell in Week 6…

2. IKSAN (3-2) – No Change

Okay, back to Rivers not being the guy – quite the seesaw ride this. All in all it wasn’t a bad week though, lots of TDs and lots of points, including on the bench. They just got outscored, mainly in the QB and DST positions. Unlucky to pick up another L, but nothing to panic over, a nice bounce back week to stop them hitting .500 would be handy.

1. Bear Necessities (4-1) – Up 3

I’ve been complimenting them on their consistency for a while and I’ve definitely already said Watson was the key. Can I end the blurb there? They are deserving of the top spot, a nice way to end a week in which they won the inaugural Tottenham Bowl and the Stubbs Bowl, all in one!

And here we are again, kudos to anyone who is committed enough to read the outro. Actually, not kudos, channel that commitment, don’t waste it here, use it to fuel your team and climb the rankings. I look forward to seeing the results next week! Peace out.
