WEEK 5 POWER RANKINGS
Holy moly lots of points going around this week. Lots of drama and story lines. What will this week bring us for the waivers/trade world?
1) @jmanic Pocket Dogs - 3-1
No surprise here, even though the dogs were on upset alert with a solid outing from germys shorties.
2) @jnos 26” Wheels - 3-1 +2
High points for the weak against the original #2 team in a high scoring affair lead this team to #2. The Kupp is full of some good juice as this team is racking up the points.
3) @oobaa47 Dead Sailors - 2-2
Sometimes not moving down is enough of a victory on the power rankings. I think this team is STACKED. It’s going to be hard for any team to put up with Gurley dropping 20 burgers every week.
4) @UtahJoe Silly Nanies - 2-2 -2
Heartbreaking loss that came down to the final minutes of the MNF game. The Kamaro is running on jet fuel apparently. The I feel really bad sliding this team down at all, but being outscored by the Dead Sailors by ~2 points was the straw that broke the camels back to drop this team to #4. Still needs some RB help.
5) @stb222 Duck Dongz - 3-1 +2
Kevy still can’t figure out if he should start Matty Ice over A-Aron, but he’s making it happen week after week. He did get a little lucky with an opponent who isn’t paying attention, but it doesn’t matter, 3-1 is 3-1.
6) @jShort $horties - 2-2
Germy is coming around and proving the early season doubters wrong. the $horties have had a couple of good hits and some bad misses, but a tight battle against the #1 dog has enough respek to stay at 6 for the computer rankings.
7) @pearl Necklaces - 2-2 +4
Things got a little scary Monday night with Watkins blowing out a tire, but the big necklaces hung on for a win. It seems like many moons ago that Cousins lit up the Rams, but the emergence of Sony Michel and possibly Bell coming back soon, things are looking up. The Necklaces are hoping for a sign and trade, making both Bell and the Terminator valuable going forward.
8) @Carson team thats just called Team Carson - 2-2 -4
Tough day here, but not really. Starting Chris Carson blindly based on his last name while he was inactive cost this team a W. Guessing right on Flacco for a bye week fill in was all for naught, This team skids an extra spot due to manager diligence.
9) @Magic The Gathering - 2-2 +1
The Khunt comes through in the 11th hour and steals a W from the sauce. Magic is still rostering WAYNE FUCKING GALLMAN who is rostered in 1% of ESPN leagues. This noob is getting some lucky W’s.
10) @elzoller Guacbowl - 1-3 -2
The guac was pushing hard in the 4th quarter with Lindsay really making the peeve’s sweat, but it just wasn’t enough to get the job done. James White would have been a deal breaker in Flex to give this team a W and be at .500. I expect a turn around.
11) @fidodie The Sauce - 1-3 -2
Bunch of misses here, leaving Goffs 39.3 and Shepards 20.7 on the bench could have made the difference. Hell, his whole bench almost scored more than his starting lineup with only 4 players. The sauce needs to look deep within himself to figure out WTF is going on. Something is RANK.
12) @Chris26er Bandicoots - 1-3
What can I say about this team that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan? This starting roster is bombed out and depleted. Tannehill puts up a goose egg against the Pats, Alex Collins can’t hold onto the football. The only interesting story line is that the ‘coots now have Ingram and Edelman back from suspension, making this roster a little bit beefier. Maybe this was part of the plan all along, a strong middle/last half of the season? Find out next week.
