Gentleman, such a quiet week 2 from everyone. Lowkey making me a little sad, not alot of shit talk. Is it because everyone is busy and we adulting cause people getting married and doing 100 mile bike rides? Is it cause Joe got an android and nobody wants green messages? Is it because nobody wants to use discord to talk for some reason? We shall never know. From now on though most sundays I will be hoping in the cord with wings watching redzone and shooting the shit for those that want to join or have continued to join. However, lets hop into these week 2 power rankings!
Chucks Power Rankings –
1. Chuck – Back to back 200 point bangers. Leader in PF, leader in commissioners cup, leader in the haters hearts. JK dobbins continues to go crazy for you after taking him in the 13th round of draft and trusting the faith of him not fucking you for a 4th time. Losing Debo does suck for a couple weeks, however with AJ brown also out for a few games you got a big bump on the Hurts and Smith combo. the pick ups of carson steele and Kareem hunt shall play to be interesting as regarding the Chiefs backfield with rip pachookie. However, it will probably be Keyonta ingram somehow. Nothing to worry about here.
Panic Meter: No need to panic all gas no breaks.
Needs: Tank Dell and Kyle pitts to step up or a new TE 1.
2. Ant – Getting on the board with a win this week after a tough week 1. This team is performing well on the back of Kamara. We know that pisses Gio off. We saw Sun God is relevant with a whoping 18 fucking targets in week 2 alone is crazy lmao. Cooper Kupp hype train has already died yet again. Big sad, however the Seattle WRs are going crazy it looks like and you have both. The biggest problem here will definitely be your QB, TE and 2nd flex role and the first one should be locked down by James Conner. Oh and Garret Wilson also a question mark, the teams talent is unreal but the problem with you as always is who to play week in and week out and if they actually stay healthy.
Panic Meter: a little bit due to recent injury bug for your squad so they dont die.
Needs: A QB and healthier players.
3. Ryan – Tough loss this week but you made it entertaining for the most part. However, the receiving core continues to thrive outside of Chris Olave. However, there will be some questions marks with Jerome Ford now taking less snaps with D’onta Forman involved. Joe Mixon hurt as those are your only two running backs. JJettas playing through injury, Bengals still figuring it out and TUA now down and out. Waddle affected the most and Chris Olave looking like a second option. Its a little rough, but the talent alone can lift you each week. Its time to worry about the running back situation and might be time to part way with one of the big receivers for a package.
Panic Meter: yes get a running back
Needs: A god damn running back
4. Wings – Rough week finish last, I expect to see that shot tomorrow night before the game starts. This team is high risk high reward sneaky. Josh allen will go back to fucking and UCLA alum Charbonnet is looking just fine picking up the slack for an injured walker. Rhamondre and the patriots playing really well out the gate. Pachookie dying is a big win for Worthy. Worthy will more then likely be more involved and see some carries as well or even some screens do to his break away speed alone. Jameson williams will continue to be involved and laporkas time will come. This team is good, questions on the bench and on the flex positions.
Panic Meter: Nah youre fine
Needs: a Solid 1st flex option.
5. Joe – 2 and Joe. Undefeated to start the year. Does it help you have played 2 of the bottom 3 in PF to start the year. Yes it does. Are you gonna go 3 and Joe, most likely cause now you play the worst team and bottom PF. This team is talented just alot of questions marks of consistency will come into play down the line. Rashid Shaheed is going crazy to start the year and Sam Darnold proving the haters wrong. You might get Jordan Love back this week and have some favorable matchups as well. The worst part about this team is the bench, the bench is un reliable and there is no depth. However, I do think this team is on fraud watch.
Panic Meter: Nope you are undefeated
Needs: Depth and an Iphone
6. Erik – Rough start to the year but you are on the board with a win. Umm why the fuck are you drafting stroud early and not playing him at all? Was it to make Rob mad and let him know that even though hes getting married its still your weekend? Did Reagan influence you? Anyways, the talent on this team is insane still.Biggest downfall has been decision making and TE and flex positions off to a terrible start. This team will more than likely bounce back in a strong way.
Panic Meter: If you lose this week, definitely time to panic.
Needs: Consistency and to stop trusting DAK.
7. Gio – Gio welcome to the win club. This team has had a rough start to begin the year, Travis Kelce out there doing Cardio and worrying about what hes wearing on the red carpet. Rachad White getting hurt and the Raiders backfield being confusing. However, Chris Godwin is WR1 and going crazy, we know what he can do if he stays healthy and that will be the biggest thing all year is if he can stay on the field. Davante Adams got it going finally with uncle Rico and Jordan mason szn is here for another 4 weeks. Gus edwards gamble did not work out and you have WR galore with none of them performing on your bench. 40 dollars for ALLEN LAZARD is the biggest WTF so far of the year.
Panic meter: just a little bit
Needs: Reliable RBS and a flex.
8. Rob – Brother Rob, here we are again. All hype and not showing up. CMC dying sucks, Joe Burrow slow to start and Zeke being RB2 and starting two TEs with TES being the worst performing Fantasy position at the moment of all scoring. Keenan Allen might play this week and is on your IR. I think the biggest thing here is Rob Fadez being in it to win it. This team has all the potential, but checking this at least once a day with your injuries and the waivers is the difference of this being a winning roster. Im all about the Rob hype train, just got to get it out the station.
Panic Meter: Yes, CMC is dead and OBJ is on your roster.
Needs: Flexs and an RB2 and depth.
9. Nauch – Losing 3 players to IR in the same week and going 0-2 is rough. Dalvin cook is on your roster, hes old washed and not playing. Hopkins is also old and an after thought in Tennese. The 49ers offense just lost another piece so you have the two people want to own outside of Mason. Diggs showed the roughness it will be in Houston as never knowing who the guy is gonna be. James cook is going insane and Marvin Harrison showed why he was a top pick. There is not lost hop yet with this team, however it is time to panic based off of injuries and lack of depth.
Panic Meter: Yes Panic and do something soon
Needs: Consistency and not to rely on players from the same team to carry you and no more injuries.
10. Bryan – Bryan this showed your teams true colors. Again. Mahomes average game, Jacobs dominating touches but this teams performance was mediocore and will continue to be yet again. Trey Mcbrides day was saved on recovering a james conner fumble in the endzone to get the touchdown for himself. This team is awful and if you want to to compete its time to trade Jacobs, Mahomes and Even Nacua for some pieces. You will probably be 0-3.
Panic Meter: Yes biggest panic.
Needs: Everything.
Ants Power Rankings –
1. Chuck: Back to Back 200 point weeks and back to back wins. Its been a great start to the season for Chuck and in his words “is not even close to anyone else in the league”. Its gonna be fun to watch this one fall apart again. But for now, the Gibbs, Achane, Dobbins combo is the most random top RB combo in the league. Deebo went down but theres just enough depth to hold it together until he comes back. If Tanlk Dell and Kyle Pitts ever figure it out, we can have super team convos.
Panic Meter: Dont panic, you’re fine
Needs: TE1 if Pitts cant pick it up
2. Ant: This week was almost a repeat of how terrible week 1 went for me when I took an L to Wings. Luckily, I was able to out score Nauch and come away with the first W of the season. It does suck losing Kupp but I get to plug in Higgins, Metcalf, or JSN in there so not too concerned. Anthony Richardson showed his ability to absolutely suck but at least he put up a decent week still. My biggest enemy right now is my opponents point output but so far the results on my end have been great to start the year.
Panic Meter: Dont panic, you’re fine
Neds: TE1 if Andrews cant pick it up
3. Joe: Joe and 2 on his revenge campaign and its looked good but not great. While Joe sits in second place I think it has more to do with his opponents back to back poor outings. But, Joe has had Shaheed break out and Nico Collins looks like a top 5 WR. Hes had very solid but not great games from Taylor and and Kyren. This time will be fin but I think can struggle in shootouts, especially if it doesnt find its QB1 to hold it down while Love is out.
Panic Meter: Don’t Panic but try and get one more piece
Needs: QB1 QB1 QB1
4. Ryan: Ryan had bad luck facing Chuck this week but still put up solid numbers. Chase and Olave are concerning to me but eventually they might find their stride. The RB combo is figuring it out but Mixon might be out for a week or 2. And Kylar has looked like damn star. This team will have good weeks once its WR core can figure it out but until then its going to have to survive on a week by week basis.
Panic Meter: Don’t panic but pray WRs carry the load
Needs: Backup Running back and a healthy, usable TE
5. Nauch: The defending champ heard the noise and showed up this week and if it wasnt for a Tua injury probably would have won his matchup with me. Most of this point output was made up of points from Marvin Harrison and James Cook but Kamara was able to cancel out those points. This teams bench has some decent depth and starting lineup will need to figure it out without Pachookie. A move will probably need to be made but no immediate panic is needed.
Panic meter: Panic to fill injury positions
Needs: QB and 1 flex spot
6. Gio: A big step up from last week but the team is still concerning Rachaad White might be losing his job, Kelce might be useless most weeks, and Christian Kirk might be just bad. Jordan Mason and Chris Godwin are putting this team on their back and without a big game from them this team is looking rough. But theres alot of season left and a move will be made that im sure can keep this team alive.
Panic Meter: Dont Panic yet, but keep your eye on the market
Needs: TE1 and RB2/Flex Spot
7. Wings: Not knocking this team too far down the list as its poor week is mostly from weird games and injuries. AJ Brown, Ken Walker, and Josh Allen is what makes this team dangerous and when they dont play this team loses ALOT of points. Im legit concerned about Laporta but Jameson Williams and Xavier Worthy can make up his performances with just one catch. There is alot of depth that needs to be figured out here but I dont expect lowest point totals every week.
Panic meter: Don’t Panic, but try to survive until injuries clear up
Needs: Depth all around. WR3/RB3/TE1
8. Rob: Rob has some concerns with Tyreek losing Tua but Nabers and Bowers looked amazing in week 2. Saquon is still saquon and Burrow put up a solid week. CMC wont play a game for at least another two weeks and Tyreek is bound to take a step back. Other than that this teams depth is very poor, theres two bench spots empty and a bunch of guys who arent doing much. I know you’re getting married Rob and the woadies are distracting, but at least fill the bench spots.
Panic Meter: Panic NOW (but enjoy your last days of freedom)
Needs: RB2 and 2 flex spots
9. Erik: This is the lowest this team has been all year and its with good reason. Week 2 proved week 1 wasnt a fluke and this team has some major concerns. Theres 2 qbs here that havent put up the numbers we would expect and Pittman and Cooper have looked like busts so far. Ceedee, Mike Evans, and Breece are the bright spots of this team but they cant score all the points. Its time to make some moves.
Panic Meter: Panic NOW
Needs: a WR3 and WR4 and to figure out their starting QB
10. Bryan: Bryan has a bunch of solid guys that just wont cut it in shootout games. The bench will not do much help and Bryan will have to make a move soon or this season is going to be lost and were in potential last place punishment talk.
Panic Meter: Panic NOW
Needs: Alot, mostly a true WR 1 and Flex spots
