Week 3 2019: Everybody is a winner (almost)

You're all winners, kinda In an odd turn of events after week 3, we have not 5 or even 6, but 7(!) teams with winning records. If the playoffs were to start today, someone (Take Mahomes..) would miss them despite being above .500 How does that happen? Simple: you just need the other teams to lose a lot . Wampus Cats and Sudowoodo Gang, both sitting at 0-3, have worked together to make such a feat possible. You're welcome guys. Can this continue? Definitely not. Too many of our 2-1 teams play each other this week. But its kinda interesting to look at huh? Power Rankings I feel like there are clear D and A tier teams but the rest is kind of a mess.  A Tier BurntOrangeMan: I had this team at the top last week and here they remain. This team has a good set of very consistent RBs and 2 WRs with the ability to put up league leading scores to take over games. LilMoonee: Talk about jumping up the rankings. LilMoonee put up a league high 169 points this week o...

Week 2 2019: The death of the quarterback

Sorry Browns. This week unfortunately saw 2 hall of fame level QBs leave the game with significant injuries. Ben Roethlisberger (whose name I still have to spellcheck every time I type it after all these years) and Drew Brees (who I'm reminded 5-10 times each Saturday went to the same highschool as Sam Ehlinger) are both out for a long time. For Big Ben it means the end of the season, maybe the end of his career. It looks like Brees will return this year but there are big questions for a lot of our 1st and 2nd round picks. Where will Kamara, Michael Thomas, Ju-Ju, and James Conner end up with their new QBs?  Considering how late I'm writing this, I guess we're about to find out. Power Rankings Do we know more than we did after week 1? Yes, definitely. I'm more confident than before that my team is bad. Do we know enough to establish a clear S tier team? Probably not yet. A Tier BurntOrangeMan: As long as Henry and Fournette keep outperforming...

Week 1 2019 : Football is back and losing still sucks

Kickoff! The week after the first weekend of football is a crazy one. Maybe you spent the last couple of months waiting for football to come back. Reading articles about 2019's breakout players, listening to podcasts, doing mock drafts, and convincing your friends and family to come back for another year of Fantasy. You entered the draft confident of the players you wanted and left it knowing you had an amazing squad ready to take the league by storm. ...Or maybe I'm the only one who did all that to still end up with the lowest score of the week by a wide margin. The important thing to remember is that we're only through one week. Will the Falcons offense continue to struggle? Maybe. Are the Dolphins an absolute dumpster fire? Possibly. But 1 week of data isn't enough to go on. If you had duds like I did, you have to believe they'll perform better as the year goes on. Right? Power Rankings I don't feel confident enough in what we know t...
