What a wild week 11 gentleman. It opened up a lot of possibilities for the playoff picture. Obviously the two tankers are out and building and looking forward to next season. This will be a quick Power Rankings for this week as the trade deadline is this week as well (or maybe wings will change it again).
Chuck’s Power Rankings
1. Chuck – Back to back weeks at the top and probably not leaving it for the rest of the season. Getting a easy next two weeks and possibly have a bye week in the bag.
2. Wings – You snuck away with a win on that Josh Allen td in the final minutes. This team is great, however I am expecting you to pull out one more move before the deadline ends.
3. Joe – Top 3 for the first time and it could not have come at a better time. This team is sneaky. This is a team that can go off any given week but has consistency and with players returning for Joe, such as Kyren williams, James conner and tee Higgins eventually this team is a sneaky one to win it all.
4. Ryan – You had a tough loss, but the return of Jettas, emergence of Kincaid and possibly Olave getting unleased if Winstons stays the QB will be great. RB’s is the one thing that will remain stressful however, the guys you have you know will touch the ball at least 13 plus times a game.
5. Gio – It has been a rough go for you lately as you started 5-0 and now you are 1 – 4 in your last 5. Davante is dancing and partying and he not even getting the ball like he used to. That is rough. I do think their is some question marks for this team outside of Etienne Eckler and Hurts. You say this is your playoff team. I think its bullshit I do expect a trade or 2 before the deadline.
6. Nauch – I know you were letting your inner Calvin Candie out when you saw Stefon Diggs do nothing, however this team is still nuts on paper. You are in must win mode which is even more hilarious but I expect nothing less from Frauch. Do to your PF you have a lot of ground to make up if you want to be in the yoffs.
7. Bryan – I did not want to put you here, but your team has cooled off quite a bit. I think the problem is you are seeing your stars come out but those pieces that kept you afloat die down. (As I was typing this Bryan swapped his receivers around like 6 times and said I didnt even realize today was Thursday.) I think you need to make a couple of trades to contend.
8. Erik – Erik, erick, erin, mr orange, stupid name counselour and mr tenor. Welcome back to the hunt. A game out and with a win over Ryan this week by 20 points and a nauch Loss you will be the 6th seed. I personally think you find a way into the playoffs just to lose in the first round.
9 and 10. MR and MR presti.
Ant’s Power Rankings
1. Chuck: Chuck is in the top spot for the 2nd week in a row after a record setting week by Dak. Chuck now holds his own destiny for a bye week and the easiest route to his first career title.
2. Wings: We could argue Wings belongs in the top spot but for now he is at number 2. Allen has been very inconsistent this year but does just enough to get him by each week. But having the Brown brothers more than makes up for any dumb turnovers Josh may have.
3. Ryan: Despite the loss last week Ryan is in a prime position to make a run for the playoffs as long as his team can perform as expected. The return of Jettas cant come fast enough as hes fighting for his life week in and week out
4. Gio: Gios slide continues after a huge stinker last week. Despite this Gio still has a solid all around team and was due for one of these this year. His path to a repeat is a bit clouded at the moment but still very possible
5. Joe: Joes may be having his year from hell turn around. After trading for basically an entire new roster during the season Joe heads into this week fighting for a playoff spot and is prime position to get himself in.
6. Bryan: While he gave Ryan a good scare last week Bryan came up short and knocked himself into the 6th seed. While he still has a good chance to make playoffs going forward the next person on this list is right there with him and ready to take the leap.
7. Nauch: Nauch took a rough loss this week but is still ina position to make playoffs. With his team at full strength going forward and some favorable matchups on the horizon, Nauch might actually make the comeback after a rough start to the year
8. Erik: While there still is a chance that you go into the playoffs this year its going to take some luck and you winning out your schedule. All very possible, but not probable
9. Ant: Sam Presti Jr Vegas Edition.
10. Rob: Grimace Presti. Jr
