2019 Power Rankings: Week 11

2019 Power Rankings: Week 11

Good evening Coaches! We’re yet another step closer to the pointy end of the league year and thanks to a couple of losses at the top it’s tighter than ever. With 4 weeks to go, there is still plenty of time for some more ups and downs, but that’s the fantasy rollercoaster that we all get up in the morning’s for – well, that could be an exaggeration. Anyway, it’s rankings time!

-

12. Gridiron Gang (2-8) – No Change

To be honest, I don’t know if there is a certain string of results that can keep them in the playoff hunt or not. I also don’t care. They’re out. They were gifted a golden opportunity last week and barely stumbled over the 50 point mark. Time to start working on a revamped draft strategy for 2020.

11. Patistan (3-7) – No Change

That was probably their last chance gone. And, as the second high scorers in Week 10, you have to feel for them. Only Samuel stayed in single figures for them (9.5 points) which speaks of how far this team has come on, they just haven’t been able to pick up the results to match.

10. The Dream Team (4-6) – Down 2

Hmm, bad times. There isn’t a lot positive to say about their Week 10, other than Ronald Jones continuing to be more than just a punchline to a joke. It might be a little late now, but that league-high waiver budget could probably spark some life into this team.

9. Buccing The Trend (5-5) – Up 1

Another win and another low scorer, minus some Daniel Jones heroics. Coach Taylor appears to have gotten his unlikely QB rotation down to a tee, and he is picking up the wins because of it. The reason I can’t move them any higher? Tiebreakers are done on point for, they aren’t going to win any tiebreakers.

8. Bear Necessities (4-6) – Down 2

And make that 5 losses in a row. Oh dear, how the season has turned. And only the DST dragged them as far up the scoreboard as they got in Week 10. It really showed how reliant on Watson they have become. They get him back this week, but he is in desperate need of some help. Someone give Coach Stubbs Sr. a hat, he needs to pull a rabbit out of it.

7. Tom’s Tyrants (5-5) – No Change

A good win last week has been dampened by a miserable start to Week 11. They seem to be spending a lot of time playing catchup, without necessarily gaining any ground – much like they are in these rankings. The division is still wide open, but they need to assert themselves now, can they rely even further on rookie QB Murray?

6. Burdettinators (4-6) – Up 3

They’re clinging on. That Jackson/Jones combo has proven deadly multiple times this season and it exploded once again. Throw in a Christian Kirk career day and you’ve got yourself a big score. Fashionably late and unpredictably explosive, maybe this is just how Coach Burdett likes his teams.

5. The Wizard of Boz (5-5) – No Change

Well, they were looking dangerous… They still got the win, which is the main thing, but that was a real momentum swing. They could take the division lead with a big win this week, time to see whether they’re the real deal or not. They can’t afford another no show from star receiver Kupp. No kicker change for Week 11 means no name change, and also that they’re off to a poor start.

4. IKSAN (6-4) – No Change

I’ve spent a lot of time talking about this team’s backfield this year but, in fairness, they are worth talking about. They have also papered over a few cracks mind. They’ll need to find a few more contributors to keep the push going, but they are a very dangerous team down the stretch. Still they persist with Rivers? I’m waiting for him to reward the loyalty.

3. The Tuckfards (8-2) – Down 1

Well it had to end eventually and this was actually a much more promising week by them. Seeing Mahomes back and not missing a step must fill them with confidence. The RB core doesn’t look the same anymore though. Stashed draftee Tate has started to find some rapport with rookie Jones, he could play a valuable role for this team down the stretch.

2. 4 Weddings and a Few Newsome (7-3) – Up 1

If you looked purely on records, you might be fooled into thinking that was a surprise win. It was anything but however. The inform team coming into this matchup, they made a statement by beating the No. 1 seeds. Hunt also looks like he is going to see some decent touches, can he dig out a big enough share to be a late season catalyst?

1. Forge Flyers (7-3) – No Change

The steamroller has ground to a halt. It wasn’t a bad week by any means but, by the standards they have set themselves, it was far from impressive. Murray was nice while he lasted but now finds himself the RB2 again, combining that with Hooper and Hilton’s continued absences and they are looking a little thin on the ground.
