POWER RANKINGS - WEEK 2
1. Mickey Mouse Club (2-0) +0
147.5-87.5 Win over Hasta Laviska Baby (1-1)
Another week, another Roman triumph for Andy. Already up about 20 points going into MNF, this guy decides to tack on another 39.5 thanks to Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs, completing the throat stomping he so eagerly wanted to give to his little bro.
This team was firing on all cylinders in Week 2, getting double digit points out of every non-kicker position and 20+ out of 3 of those 8 players. Andy is heading into week 3 at 2-0 with a comfortable 52 point lead on the rest of his division. Maybe Drew can hand him an upset on Sunday.
2. The Washington Fantasy Team (1-1) +1
169.5-126.5 Win over Drake’s New Favorite Team (1-1)
The Week 2 high scoring honors goes to Murph, who soundly defeated the reigning champion LiMonta mainly on the backs of Aaron Jones (51) and Calvin Ridley (30.5) who are both currently ranked #1 at their respective positions, by the way.
It wasn’t all Ridley and Jones though, as Dalvin Cook (16), Hayden Hurst (18.5), and Lamar Jackson (19) were all fine at worst and great at best. The depth is there as well, as Dan’s bench put up an excellent 102 points. Although he may not be leading the division at the moment, the season is young. And with a league-best 296 points over the first 2 weeks, it’s hard to imagine a world where Dan isn’t in contention. He’ll get Christian in Week 3 who is coming off his first victory over Dear Leader.
3. Frank’s Team Stinks (2-0) -1
134-107.5 Win over Wet Ass P-Words (1-1)
I’m never a fan of lowering ranks after a win, but you might as well get your cherry popped early, Steve.
Lil’ Olc had a very nice week 2, getting double digits out of 5 of his starters, 3 of which had 20+. Russel Wilson (37) led the charge and is currently battling for the #1 QB spot, and Stefon Diggs (30) confirmed it was the Vikings and not him who is awful. Raheem Mostert (20) ran all over the Jets as expected, but tweaked his knee and his status is now in doubt for Week 3. Zach Ertz (6.5) has seen his production crater thanks to some awful play from Carson Wentz, and Derrick Henry (10) was fine but was a disappointment given they were playing the Jaguars. A date with the Commish is on the schedule for Week 3, let’s see if he can hand me my first win.
4. Chicken Finger Poops (1-1) +4
143.5-117 Win over DeVante’s Inferno (0-2)
This one felt a lot closer than the final score would indicate, but that’s probably more my psychosis speaking than anything else.
Alvin Kamara (33.5) was the MNF hero for Christian, with Patrick Mahomes (37) looking much more like himself than he did in Week 1. Travis Kelce (19.5) continues to be a target monster, andMelvin Gordon (16) has been a quietly productive RB2. Devin Singletary (9), however, has been much more of a letdown. While he slightly increased his points from Week 1 and is still getting the majority of carries, it seems like he could lose his job any day. Not to mention TY Hilton (3.5) who is currently scoring at the same pace as stud WRs like Marvin Hall and Chris Hogan. Maybe he can cannibalize Parris Campbell’s targets, but most likely he’ll continue to just eat glue and curse his owners. Christian has a nightmare matchup with Dan in Week 3.
5. Revenge of the Mack (1-1) +5
139.5-94 Win over Andrew Andrews AA (1-1)
Somebody better get Clyde some coffee, because he sure is a sleepy boi. After a wonderful Week 1, CEH (10) had a forgettable performance against the Chargers with only 10 measly carries. Luckily for Rob, it didn’t matter a whole lot because low energy Clyde was picked up by the likes of Mike Evans (24.5), Terry McLaurin (26.5), Mike Gesicki (28), and Kyler Murray (33). Can you believe Rob got Murray for the low low price of Carlos Hyde? That might be the worst deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever.
Week 2 was much more encouraging for Bogle but past the high scorers depth piece like Todd Gurley (8), Nyheim Hines (0.5) and a cavalcade of disappointing bench players, this team will need a lot of miracles when bye weeks roll around.
6. Drake’s New Favorite Team (1-1) -1
126.5-169.5 Loss to The Washington Fantasy Team (1-1)
LiMonta had a fine day but had the unfortunate honor of going against the buzzsaw in Week 2, as he put up nearly 130 but was still crushed by a sizeable margin. Josh Allen (45) is still QB1 just as we all expected, and both Dj Moore (21) and Mark Ingram (14) had a much more appealing bounce back weeks after a crummy Week 1.
The majority of this team though was tough to watch. Both Davante Adams (4.5) and Julio Jones (3) were basically absent. Julio also suffered (surprise!) an injury and may miss time. Adrian Peterson (4) has been unable to separate himself from Kerryon and Swift in the Lions’ backfield. The reigning champ will get Frank in Week 3, as both managers look to rebound from tough luck losses.
7. Hasta Laviska Baby (1-1) -2
87.5-147.5 Loss to Mickey Mouse Club (2-0)
Hasta La Vista, indeed. John was easily dispatched by his older brother in Week 2, getting outscored by 60 and making for a very anticlimactic Matchup of the Week. Strong play from Jared Goff (25) and Zeke Elliott (20) were basically wasted as the rest of the squad refused to show up. Ronald Jones (9) looked to be doing well but now appears to be ceding a lot of work to teammate Leonard Fournette. Even with all his talent, Adam Thielen (4.5) couldn’t overcome his awful QB while Cam Akers’ (1) backfield is a crapshoot.
With George Kittle and Chris Godwin both set to return for Week 3, John may have a more pleasant week against Mike D.
8. Wet Ass P-Words (1-1) -2
107.5-134 Loss to Frank’s Team Stinks (2-0)
Matt Ryan (32) had another great week even without an effective Julio Jones, while Odell (18) could actually have relevance in the league again. Who knew?
The big news here is obviously the injury to this team’s star player. As a player who was set to lead this team week in and week out, this one is just awful to lose for any weeks, let alone multiple - that’s right, you guessed it - wideout Will Fuller (0) was limited all game due to a hamstring injury that hampered him throughout the game and continued the trend of the Texans’ offense looking absolutely lost.
Parris Campbell (0) is also a goner, so Frank will have to rely on further productive weeks from the likes of Noah Fant (15) and Miles Sanders (19.5) from here on out. Luckily, bench pieces like Kareem Hunt (23) and Antonio Gibson (12.5) appear to have some potential.
9. Andrew Andrews AA (1-1) -2
94-139.5 Loss to Revenge of the Mack (1-1)
How the mighty have fallen. Drew just couldn’t get it going in Week 2, failing to have a single starter tally 20 points and featured some stanky performances from the likes of Mark Andrews (2.5) and AJ Green (3.5). Austin Ekeler (17) at least seems to be starting to get the ball rolling, and DeAndre Hopkins (16) was still productive despite not being the target devourer he was in Week 1. John Brown (19) has also been a useful target for MVP Josh Allen.
The Achilles Heel for this team seems to be at quarterback. Daniel Jones (9) has no offensive line and just lost his best playmaker on offense. Carson Wentz (13) has already thrown 4 interceptions and lost 1 fumble while only amassing 2 TD throws. Drew will need some bigger plays out of his regulars - and maybe a new QB - in Week 3 against one of the hottest teams in the league. Not only that, these 2 guys have the same first name or some shit. Christmas comes early this year boys and girls - it's the MATCHUP OF THE WEEK - DREWPERBOWL
Dirty D (1-1) +1
118.5-108 Win over The DK Crew (0-2)
After losing 2 of his top players in Michael Thomas and Le’Veon Bell to injury, most assumed Mike would be on the losing end of many a matchup in the coming weeks.
But oh how wrong we were. Mike defied all expectations and brought home a W in Week 2, leaning heavily on the 3 TD day of Tyler Higbee (25.5) and another productive week out of Chris Carson (18.5) The Colts D/ST (17) also had the pleasure of going up against Kirk Cousins, whom they sacked thrice, intercepted thrice, and laid a safety on.
The concerns are still very real, however. Michael Thomas is still out, and now Courtland Sutton will join him after shredding his knee. That leaves Tyler Boyd (16.5), Preston Williams (4.5) and Russell Gage (13) as Mikey’s best options at wideout. Not exactly thrilling when Deshaun Watson (16) is still struggling to get going at QB and backup Matt Stafford (17) has been no better. Let’s see if Mike can work some waiver wire magic with his #1 priority.
11. DeVante’s Inferno (0-2) -2
117-143.5 Loss to Chicken Finger Poops (1-1)
Despite Dak Prescott’s (49) best efforts, these losers just can’t get out of their own way. Dak and Amari (18) linked up for over half of this squad’s points, and the rest (except Younghoe Koo - love you, buddy) were completely flat.
Joe Mixon did double his points from last week. And that sounds just dandy if you don’t actually look at the numbers involved. David Johnson (6) saw his trade value getting a little too high for his liking so decided 50 total yards was enough for him. The Titans D/ST (0) dropped a fun goose egg on me while Henry Ruggs (0.5) only likes disappointing me if it’s passed my bedtime. Perhaps old pal Jerrick McKinnon (13) being thrust into a starting role will help, but probably not. Why would it? You know what’s great for ending losing streaks? Facing the guy who hasn’t lost yet.
12. The DK Crew (0-2) +0
108-118.5 Loss to Dirty D (1-1)
And here we have the only reason why I am not #12. Olc suffered a devastating loss on Sunday afternoon, when Saquon Barkely (2) landed awkwardly on a run and tore his ACL. Luckily for Olc, Nick Chubb (31.5) seems to be coming out of his shell while Jonathan Taylor (24) is showing us why he was considered the best RB in college last year. Huh, maybe I should be #12.
Robert Woods (9) had a much tougher go of it in Week 2 while Keenan Allen (12.5) looked to have pretty good chemistry with rookie Justin Herbert. The man that Herbert replaced, Felipe Rios (11) was also to blame, netting this squad a paltry 11 points while Drew Brees (21) languished on the bench. You still would have lost with Brees, it just would have been wayyy more heartbreaking. Olc will get his chance to get into the win column in Week 3 against Rob’s hot squad.
