Power Rankings

The teams are a bit more tightly grouped now so I've removed the D tier. Order within tiers doesn't mean anything.

• S Tier
• Wampus Cats: The undefeated season rolls on. T.Y. Hilton is healthy again, John Brown is on fire. This team just needs Melvin Gordon to be ok coming out of the BYE.
• Eagle Powers: This team now has the best RBs in the league by a wide margin. Gurley/Conner/Kerryon/Chubb is crazy and Dalvin is still on his way back. Boyd finally had a down week, but is still a great add.
• A Tier
• Return of the Mack: Is Lamar Miller actually good again? If he is, this team has a shot to move back up into the top tier. Big Ben continues to churn out great games every week.
• Dakstreet Boys: The big story for this team is that Latavius is killing it in Cook's absence, which helps alleviate Powell going on IR. Getting Greg Olsen back also helps a lot.
• B Tier
• Represent 👩🏈🌻: Powell's injury is Crowell's boon, and that't great news for this team. So is the Cardinals firing Mike McCoy freeing up David Johnson. A win this week would put this team back in the playoff picture.
• Greg's Grand Team: Odell is finally starting to live up to his potential for this team, but questions around Fournette's health still linger. Alshon and Ridley round out a very strong receiving squad, and AP continues to put up near 100 yard games at the ripe old age of 33.
• Steven's Team: I don't know what to say about this team anymore. I have ranked Steven in the bottom tier the whole season, but he just keeps winning. Sanders has been a huge boon for this team, and Baldwin is finally through his injury and his bye.
• C Tier
• Cool Beans: Carlos Hyde's trade to the Jags is a pretty big hit for a team playing a TE its FLEX. Cam and Kamara give this team hope, but they need to find some more role players on waivers if they can.
• Goofy Gang: How long will Gronk and Kupp be out? That's the real question for this team. In the meantime, Tarik Cohen is turning into a great fantasy RB as Howard sees less and less work for the Bears.
• zane's Team:  Kenyan drake is my runner up for pickup of the week, and this team desperately needs him to live up to his offseason hype. Here's hoping he turned the corner into fantasy relevance this week and fully replaces Frank Gore. Edleman's return has boosted this team just as much as it has opened up the offense for the Patriots.

Pickup of the Week

Nick Chubb, Eagle Powers. Cleveland believed in Chubb enough to send Hyde away, and that's good enough for me. 18 carries in his first week compared to just 5 total touches for Duke Johnson says he's likely to be the main starter going forward.
