LOC On The Clock - Week 9 2025

2025 - CoPilot TM Week 9 Power Rankings

“Forget the standings. This is about who’s built to win in December.”

---

🥇 Tier 1: Built for the Belt

Elite cores, depth, and matchup-proof flexibility.

1. Forge Flyers (Chris) – 5-3, 894.56 pts

Roster Core: Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, AJ Brown, Diggs

Chris leads the league in total points and has a terrifying RB duo. Mahomes gives him weekly stability, and AJ Brown + Diggs offer WR1 upside. Depth is elite with Javonte, Stevenson, and Seahawks D. This is the most complete team on paper.

2. Great Scott (Geoff) – 8-0, 799.80 pts

Roster Core: Herbert, CMC, Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kamara

Geoff’s undefeated run is backed by a lethal starting lineup. CMC is the most valuable RB in fantasy, and Herbert is a top-5 QB. Nacua and MHJ give him weekly ceiling, and Kamara + Kittle add veteran punch. Slightly less depth than Forge Flyers, but the starters are elite.

3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) – 4-4, 809.96 pts

Roster Core: Lamar Jackson, Gibbs, James Cook, TreVeyon Henderson, Tre Tucker, Wan’Dale Robinson

Naithan’s team is built for playoff chess. Lamar just dropped 4 TDs, Gibbs is surging, and Cook remains a volume play. TreVeyon Henderson adds explosive upside, while Tucker and Robinson are matchup-dependent WRs. The bench is deep with Dobbins, Monangai, Sutton, and Aiyuk (PUP). Jefferson’s return could be the playoff unlock.

---

🥈 Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks

Strong builds with room to grow or trade into Tier 1.

4. Buccing the Trend (Michael) – 6-2, 886.56 pts

Roster Core: Prescott, Chase, Jacobs, Pickens

Michael’s team is steady and reliable. Chase is heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, and Pickens is a sneaky WR2. The ceiling isn’t as high as Tier 1, but the floor is rock solid. Needs one more elite piece to contend.

5. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) – 6-2, 783.67 pts

Roster Core: Barkley, Achane, Allen, Godwin, Metcalf

Tom’s team is built around WR depth and RB volatility. Achane is a home-run hitter, and Barkley is a volume anchor. Allen and Godwin give him a safe WR floor, and Metcalf + London on the bench make him matchup-proof. Needs a QB upgrade to truly contend.

6. The Dream Team (Vivek) – 4-4, 818.18 pts

Roster Core: Hurts, Adams, White, Spears, Charbonnet

Vivek’s team is quietly dangerous. Hurts gives him weekly QB edge, and Adams is still elite. The RBs are young and ascending, and the WR bench has breakout potential. Needs WR consistency to climb.

---

🥉 Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable

Capable of big wins, but vulnerable to volatility.

7. Cardiff Sheep (Ross) – 4-4, 688.24 pts

Roster Core: Allen, Kelce, Wilson, Flowers, Henry

Ross’s team is built around positional advantage. Allen and Kelce give him weekly top-3 scoring at QB and TE, and Flowers is flashing WR1 upside. Henry is aging but still dangerous. Needs a reliable RB2.

8. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) – 5-3, 832.92 pts

Roster Core: Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison

Burrow’s likely season-ending injury is a major blow. Ben now relies on Drake Maye or a waiver QB, which caps his weekly ceiling. Taylor and Kyren are strong, and Addison is emerging, but without a stable QB, this team drops a tier.

9. Patistan (Patrick) – 3-5, 756.00 pts

Roster Core: Mayfield, Amon-Ra, Olave, Jeanty

Skattebo’s season-ending injury removes Patrick’s breakout RB. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Jeanty is promising, but the backfield is now thin and Mayfield remains volatile. Needs a waiver miracle or trade to stay alive.

---

🚨 Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot

These teams need trades, waiver miracles, or divine intervention.

10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Mike) – 3-5, 575.50 pts

Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb

Mike’s team has WR firepower but no RB support. Waddle and Lamb are elite, but the backfield is a wasteland. Goff is fine, but the ceiling is capped. Needs a trade or waiver gem to stay alive.

11. Oakland Goldminers (Freddy) – 2-6, 672.38 pts

Roster Core: Nix, Hall, Walker, Pacheco

Freddy’s team has RB talent but no WR consistency. Hall and Walker are solid, and Pacheco is ascending. But the WRs are unreliable, and Nix is a risky QB1. Needs a WR1 and a little luck.

12. Bear Necessities (Dave) – 1-7, 682.54 pts

Roster Core: Daniels, Deebo, Worthy

Dave’s team is officially in rebuild mode. Deebo and Worthy are fun, but the RBs are thin and the QB is volatile. Jefferson is on bye, and the bench is shallow. Time to play spoiler—or shake up the league with a blockbuster.

Forget the standings. Who’s built to win in December? Who’s skating on luck? Let’s find out.

🥇 Tier 1: Built for the Belt

These teams have elite cores, depth across positions, and matchup-proof flexibility.

1. Forge Flyers (Chris)

Strengths: Explosive RBs, elite WR1, top-tier QB, depth

Roster Core: Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, AJ Brown, Javonte

Chris has the most complete roster in the league. He’s stacked at RB, has a WR1 who can drop 30+, and Mahomes gives him weekly stability. His bench includes Diggs and Stevenson, meaning he can survive injuries and bye weeks without blinking. This is a championship-caliber build.

2. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)

Strengths: Depth, upside, elite bench, strategic flexibility

Roster Core: Gibbs, Cook, Ferguson, Golden, Stafford (with Lamar, Pollard, Aiyuk, Waller on bench)

Naithan’s team is deceptively strong. While the starting lineup is solid, the bench is where the magic lives. Lamar and Pollard are matchup wreckers, and Aiyuk + Waller give him elite flex options. Once Jefferson returns, this team becomes terrifying. Built for playoff chess, not regular season checkers.

3. Great Scott (Geoff)

Strengths: WR dominance, elite RB, top-tier QB

Roster Core: Herbert, CMC, Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Odunze

Geoff’s team is young, explosive, and balanced. CMC is the most valuable RB in fantasy, and Herbert is a top-5 QB. Nacua and MHJ give him weekly ceiling, and Kamara + Kittle on the bench add veteran punch. He’s undefeated for a reason—but he’s also built to stay that way.

---

🥈 Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks

These teams are strong but need a breakout or trade to reach Tier 1.

4. Buccing the Trend (Michael)

Strengths: WR consistency, RB volume, safe floor

Roster Core: Prescott, Chase, Jacobs, Pickens

Michael’s team is steady and reliable. Chase is heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, and Pickens is a sneaky WR2. The ceiling isn’t as high as Tier 1, but the floor is rock solid. If he adds one more elite piece, he’s a title threat.

5. The Dream Team (Vivek)

Strengths: RB depth, WR upside, QB stability

Roster Core: Hurts, Adams, White, Spears, Charbonnet

Vivek’s team is quietly dangerous. Hurts gives him weekly QB edge, and Adams is still elite. The RBs are young and ascending, and the WR bench has breakout potential. If one of his rookies pops, he could leap into Tier 1.

6. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)

Strengths: WR depth, RB explosiveness, bench flexibility

Roster Core: Barkley, Achane, Allen, Godwin, Metcalf

Tom’s team is built around WR depth and RB volatility. Achane is a home-run hitter, and Barkley is a volume anchor. Allen and Godwin give him a safe WR floor, and Metcalf + London on the bench make him matchup-proof. Needs a QB upgrade to truly contend.

---

🥉 Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable

These teams can beat anyone—but also implode on any given week.

7. Old England Red Coats (Ross)

Strengths: Elite QB, TE advantage, WR upside

Roster Core: Allen, Kelce, Wilson, Flowers, Henry

Ross’s team is built around positional advantage. Allen and Kelce give him weekly top-3 scoring at QB and TE, and Flowers is flashing WR1 upside. Henry is aging but still dangerous. If he finds a reliable RB2, this team could surge.

8. Patistan (Patrick)

Strengths: WR talent, RB volatility, breakout potential

Roster Core: Mayfield, Amon-Ra, Olave, Skattebo, Jeanty

Patrick’s team is boom-bust. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Skattebo just exploded. But the RBs are unpredictable, and Mayfield is a risky QB1. If he stabilizes the backfield, he’s a playoff wildcard.

9. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)

Strengths: RB depth, WR youth, QB upside

Roster Core: Maye, Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison

Ben’s team is trending up. Taylor and Kyren are a strong RB duo, and Addison is emerging. Moore is volatile but capable of 25+. If Burrow returns to form, this team could sneak into the playoffs and cause chaos.

---

🚨 Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot

These teams need trades, waiver miracles, or divine intervention.

10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)

Strengths: WR talent

Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb

Ollie’s team has WR firepower but no RB support. Waddle and Lamb are elite, but the backfield is a wasteland. Goff is fine, but the ceiling is capped. Needs a trade or waiver gem to stay alive.

11. Oakland Golden Bears (Freddy)

Strengths: RB youth

Roster Core: Nix, Hall, Walker, Pacheco

Freddy’s team has RB talent but no WR consistency. Hall and Walker are solid, and Pacheco is ascending. But the WRs are unreliable, and Nix is a risky QB1. Needs a WR1 and a little luck.

12. Bear Necessities (Dave)

Strengths: WR upside

Roster Core: Daniels, Deebo, Worthy

Dave’s team is officially in rebuild mode. Deebo and Worthy are fun, but the RBs are thin and the QB is volatile. Jefferson is on bye, and the bench is shallow. Time to play spoiler—or shake up the league with a blockbuster.

---

🧠 Final Thoughts

This league is deep, strategic, and full of sleeper potential. The top teams are built for December, not just October. The middle tier is volatile, and the bottom tier needs to act fast. With bye weeks and injuries looming, the next few weeks will separate the managers from the magicians.

🔥 Tier 1: Championship Contenders

These teams are setting the pace and showing no signs of slowing.

1. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)

Record: 2-2 | Points For: 457.86

Yes, the record is .500—but the scoring is elite. Naithan’s squad leads the entire league in points and has faced brutal matchups. Lamar, Pollard, Gibbs, and Keon Coleman are delivering, and the bench depth is real. This team is built for the long haul and could explode once the schedule softens.

2. Forge Flyers (Chris)

Record: 3-1 | Points For: 439.96

Chris’s team is a model of consistency. Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, and Tyreek Hill continue to dominate, and the Flyers are quietly climbing. If they stay healthy, they’re a lock for the playoffs—and a threat to win it all.

3. Buccing the Trend (Michael)

Record: 3-1 | Points For: 415.36

Michael’s squad is surging. A strong record and top-tier scoring make them one of the most balanced teams in the league. They’ve got the depth and the upside to challenge anyone.

---

💪 Tier 2: Playoff Hopefuls

These teams are winning, scoring, and one breakout away from Tier 1.

4. Great Scott (Geoff)

Record: 4-0 | Points For: 427.12

Undefeated and second in scoring in Portsmouth. Geoff’s team is clutch, consistent, and riding a wave of momentum. But with tougher matchups ahead, we’ll see if they can hold the line.

5. Partisan (Patrick)

Record: 2-2 | Points For: 414.54

Patrick’s team is quietly dangerous. Solid scoring and a balanced roster make them a playoff threat. If they can string together wins, they’ll be knocking on Tier 1’s door.

6. The Dream Team (Vivek)

Record: 2-2 | Points For: 352.76

Vivek’s squad is volatile but capable. Big weeks followed by busts have kept them in the middle tier. If the stars align, they could surge—but they’ll need consistency.

---

🧨 Tier 3: Wild Cards & Upset Watch

These teams are unpredictable—capable of brilliance or disaster depending on the week.

7. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)

Record: 3-1 | Points For: 336.80

Tom’s team is winning but not dominating. The scoring is middle-of-the-pack, and the matchups have been favorable. Still, 3-1 is a great place to be, and a breakout game could change the narrative.

8. Wensleydale Wanderers (Ross)

Record: 3-1 | Points For: 330.64

Ross’s team is gritty and efficient. They’re winning without blowing teams out, which suggests strong management and matchup savvy. A few roster upgrades could push them higher.

9. Oakland Goldfish (Freddy)

Record: 2-2 | Points For: 321.72

Freddy’s squad is hanging tough. The scoring is decent, and the record is respectable. They’re one waiver gem or trade away from making noise.

---

📉 Tier 4: Panic Button Territory

These teams need a spark—fast.

10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)

Record: 1-3 | Points For: 255.34

Ollie’s team is struggling to find rhythm. The scoring is low, and the losses are piling up. Time to shake up the lineup, hit the waiver wire, or swing a bold trade.

11. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)

Record: 0-3 | Points For: 330.88

Ben’s team is scoring better than some mid-tier squads but still winless. That suggests bad luck or brutal matchups. The pieces are there—just needs a spark.

12. Bear Necessities (Dave)

Record: 0-4 | Points For: 328.72

Dave’s team is officially in crisis mode. The scoring isn’t terrible, but the record is. Jefferson and Deebo can’t carry the whole load. It’s time for a shakeup.

---

🧠 Final Thoughts

Week 4 has clarified the hierarchy—but also exposed some cracks. The top scorers aren’t always the top seeds, and the winless teams aren’t hopeless. With bye weeks looming and injuries mounting, the next few weeks will be a test of depth, strategy, and boldness.
