Welcome to Week 7 Gents. What an eventful week 6 we had. We saw Gio get wined and dined, then took home and just got his back blown out like he was Riley Reid and Bryan was Johnny Sins. We saw Chane return and ride off into the sunset knowing he has fulfilled Ra’s Al Hurtado’s destiny after blowing up Bat Erik and is trash ass team of Gotham. We saw Joe beat up on the Punjabi and Ryan beat up on Nauch, the latest person to defect from the Americas to Vietnam and told him this is as he beat his ass, Đất nước Broncos, hãy đi nào. Going into Week 7 we have a tight race for the Commissioners cup as placement 1st through 7th are all within 15 points of each other. We also have a tight playoff picture we have three teams tied for 2nd and the PF being the main difference right now. 2 teams tied for 5th and 3 teams tied for 7th. Hitting the midpoint of the season this week and after this week we shall see a lot of shake up more than likely.
The Shake ups I expect to see after week 7. I expect we see Roberto make his first trade of the season. I also expect to see Nauch trade away one of his running backs if not 2. I think Ant will make another trade involving Joe burrow to someone. I expect Gio to Rage trade if he suffers a loss to Joe.
Lets dive into these trades that have happen over the last week as well.
First trade –
Nauch Receives Deebo Samuel
Erik Receives a 2024 4th round pick.
Nauch, you need a receiver and you go trade for another 49er. The 49ers are stacked but purdy is their QB. The only teams we have seen provide 3 or more players as viable fantasy options at once are explosive offenses such as these. Brady Edelman Gronk, Mahomes Reek Kelce, This year Tua Reek and Mostert. This was not a smart trade for Deebo is the 3rd option. for this team as well. Your trade grade is a F.
Erik, Finessed the shit of Nauch. Now go fix your team with another 4th. Trade grade is an A++++.
Ant’s review –
Nauch: D. uhm, okay? A 4th rounder should be reserved for a Bonafede guy THIS year, and with some many Niner weapons I just cant see why you did this. But i also understand you just need WR’s that have potential.
Erik: A+, I would’ve accepted this so fast and im sure you did too. Losing Deebo hurts, but you’re never gonna get value like this for a guy like that again.
Second trade –
Erik Receives Jared Goff
Gio Receives Jerome Ford
Erik, Another great trade. After Fields going down and grabbing Goff was smart. Your grade is an A.
Gio, Expected a hornier trade from you to start the year, however getting insurance in Jerome ford is nice as he is the clear guy even with Kareem hunt seeing more work. Your grade is an A.
Ant’s review –
Erik: A. This was a win win boring trade from both teams. You needed a consistent QB and Goff has proven himself to be one this year. And giving up a guy who you got off waivers is just icing on the cake.
Gio: A. I can basically just rewrite everything I wrote for Erik here. Good job picking up serviceable RB depth.
Third Trade
Gio Receives Amari Cooper, Terry Mclaurin, 2024 11th and 15th
Ant Receives Jerrick Mckinnon, Emari Demercardo, 2024 5th and 6th
Gio, going to get receiver help was smart and getting Cooper who can be a top guy and Scarry terry which will have great weeks. This was a good trade for you. Your trade grade is an A.
Ant, the tank commander continues to show how to tank as he has his full draft finishing in the 9th round and he still has pieces to trade lmao. Your Grade is an A+.
Ant’s Review –
Gio: A. At this point picks dont mean as much to you as rounding out your team. Good job getting a WR 2 type guy and another WR3/Flex guy. Picks will come and go for you but chips are forever.
Ant: A. Sam Presti Jr.
Now, lets get into these week 7 Power Rankings.
Chuck’s Power Ranking’s
1. Gio – After a down week for you as we saw your receiving core finally fall apart. Davante Adams is getting more frustrated as he has now had 3 different Qb’s in the last 3 week throwing him the football. Adams will have Brian Hoyer again this week and we have seen a fall off for him not because he sucks at football, but because the Raiders love to waste great talent. Dhop looking old as well. So what do you do, you go and get two more receivers. Ekeler showed alot of rust, but should be fine. You face Joe this week and need a bounce back.
2. Chuck – It feels great to be back. My team still has yet to have a breakout performance which gets more and more frustrating. However, having the 3rd highest PF and in second without a breakout performance only means that one is coming. What a perfect time to facing the FAKE STONECOLD STEVE AUSTIN.
3. Bryan – Taking down the undefeated mijo and continuing to show the league why he deserves to be here. With Mostert and Jacobs being solid running back duo so far and Thielen’s resurgence. This team has been doing very well. This week you face your butt buddy. Who’s turn is it to stick it in, guess we gonna find out this Sunday.
4. Wings – After starting off 0-3, you have won 3 straight why dominating in those wins. Instead of bringing out the tank. You are now in the playoff picture and top 5 in rankings. Your team faces DOPHINS this week and they are going to fuck you.
5. Ryan – Brother Ryan, it has been a rough last 3 weeks for you. You went from back to back 200 point weeks, to not having dropped more then 153 in the last 3 weeks and giving Ant his only win of the season. If not for playing Nauch last week, you might have lost that one too. However, you play Rob this week who still has Jamar chase in his lineup even though he is on a bye week.
6. Joe – You had the blessing this last week of playing Ant, if not then it might be rough for you as well. Trading for Kirk Cousins and watching that shitty performance thats got to hurt. Trading For Kyren and watching him get hurt also sucks. While we have seen Ant lose nick chubb and Jk dobbins for the season. You have actually been the most hurt team this season which sucks. IR joe has a nice ring to it. I think you are okay in the spot your in, but still think you need to make a couple trades to get players you can just lock into your lineup and forget about.
7. Rob – Grimace, do not really got much to say, but it definitely has been an underwhelming season for you so far. You play Ryan this week which is not an easy test. You are also to play Nauch next week as well. These can be a big two weeks for you to turn it around.
8. Nauch – Nauch, you didnt drop 100. However, your team didnt completely die like the person below you so you are good for now. All these running backs and no receivers can not save you. Shit I would even try and go get a QB since Brock Purdy showed us he is a true system QB this last week.
9. Erik – How the mighty have fallen. Losing Fields hurts alot which also meand DJ moore production drops, Montgomery getting hurt yet again, Dameon Pierce honestly being the biggest bust of the year so far doesnt help. You play Bryan this week on top of it and frankly Bryan is probably gonna be ontop of you dominating as well.
10. Ant – Do something funny and win this week lmao.
Ant’s Power Rankings
1. Gio: While he took his first loss of the year Gio was cooking up his next move of rounding out his team finally. At least you dont have to worry about your undefeated streak anymore. We got a long way to go til playoff time and I expect more deals coming from Gio.
2. Chuck: Chucks team was rebuilt and ready for the next step, proving itself. And it more than did that this week. Tua and Tyreek are undoubtedly the deadliest combo in the league rn and will win games for him on a consistent basis. The question is, is this going to be, whatever persona chuck is taking on this week’s, final team.
3. Bryan: Hes finally made it to the top 3. This team is just so confusingly consistent. Monster, Kupp, and Patty are going to do enough for you each week to keep you as a contender. The bigger questions are if Jacobs and Javonte are going to take the next steps. Ohh, and if Kyle Pitts is actually the TE you end up with in a few weeks.
4. Ryan: Ryans team put up another subpar week but it was enough to get him the W. After two straight rough weeks and a loss of JJ there is definite holes in this team that needs to be patched up. Its enough to knock him out of the top 3 of my PR but not enough to say his team cant win a chip still.
5. Wings: This team is finally taking some deadly shape as it was able to put up a great week without a big Allen game. So far Wings has hit it out of the ballpark with each of his trades this year and the emergence of Isiah Pacheco and Drake London recently has had a huge part in that. This week, is your biggest test.
6. Joe: ITs been rough to say the least for Joe so far this year. Injuries are piling up and breakouts are not breaking out. We’re at the point in the year where you have to take a good long hard look in the mirror and decide what direction youre taking this team over the rest of the year.
7. Rob: Rob has been very unfortunate this year as his team has done enough to stay competitive but can just never get over the hump. Your RB room is a mess and your WR’s can only do so much to help that. Go trade some picks for an RB before its too late.
8. Erik: That was majorly disappointing man. With fields and moore coming back down to earth it showed the weakness of this team. Boom or bust. Its going to take big games going forward from Henry and Montgomery but the WRs and your new QB should be enough..
9. Nauch: The biggest threat of this team was always the RB’s and with injuries, holdouts, suspensions and other things it just isnt carrying this team like you thought it would. Top that off with this terrible WR room and we have a bottom of the league looking team.
10. Ant: Sam Presti Jr.
