What’s sup yall, your official Blogger boys are back this week after a wild week 4. Special shoutout to Nauch for coming in and making a special appearance on the blog! However, he made a Hitler speech, came on the blog, came in my house ate canes and defeated me in my own home. For that I hope he comes in last now 🙁 Anyways, we have one undefeated team remaining. This is gonna be a quick one, as we will debut something special next week 👀
Chucks Power Rankings –
1. Joe –
First place, undefeated, a giant Chappell Roan Fan, and continues to thrive with his best week. Kyren and Nico have been your saving grace all season. JT is hurt so not surprised. Brian Thomas has been the second best rookie WR coming out of the draft so far (Nabers). You dropped Sam Darnold in favor of keeping Tua which was an interesting choice in it self. Not much to say here, you play Nauch now. Lets see if he takes you out.
2. Chuck –
You finally lose in a terrible fashion. Leaving a lot of points on the bench. Loosing Rashee Rice for a few weeks instead of the season is nice though after Patrick Mahomes is tryna take him out cause the swifties don’t like to hear the Travis washed allegations. Hurts and Achane have took a hit with Hurts losing his WR core the last 2 weeks and Achane loosing any chance of moving the ball the last two weeks due to the awful O line and QB play from the Dolphins. Its one loss and probably taking another this week with most of the team on a bye lmao. However, lets see if this team shows its resilience as a scoring average of now 175 after a terrible week is still 12 points higher then the next.
3. Ant –
Big win last week with a couple take aways, You need a QB, Garret Wilson and the Jets suck, We should Ban TES and add more kickers. This team has a lot of pieces, but to many pieces, I think you can benefit from finding a QB and maybe an upgrade at WR. However you average the second most points in the league only behind Chuck. There also really isn’t much to say here.
4. Ryan –
Big loss last week and of course its when Joes team actually decided to go off. Biggest concern with this team is honestly Injuries and every player outside of JJ and Chase. Mixon being hurt has been the biggest problem with your backfield consistency. Kyler has had 2 bad weeks against 2 awful defenses which is a little alarming since the new COD doesn’t come out for another couple weeks. Biggest thing here is to fix the running back situation. You cant do nothing about no QB or bad Qb play, but the RB problem is definitely one to monitor.
5. Erik –
PRIME TIME GETS A WIN. After losing the week before to rob, getting absolutely clowned on at the wedding. This team is showing life, Derrick Henry doesn’t age apparently. Biggest concern is running backs outside of him them. Breece hall is starting to become a giant question mark until the jets get it together and that’s if they do. Lamb, Evans and the emergence possibly of a few other is challenging Ryan for best receiving core in the league. Can this team finally start performing like the hype it was receiving in the preseason. I guess we shall see. #FuckErik
6. Rob –
Even after an L this week, I think this team might be on the rise. You need a RB fix soon since Saquon is your only one. However, Tyreek will get it going and Nabers is him. Doubs and Allen remain solid options as well with the addition of brock bowers and joe burrow. The problem with this team is Depth. Figure that out and I think the problems will fix itself.
7. Nauch –
Fuck you Nauch. jk in all seriousness great win. This team is one or 2 pieces away from being taken seriously. The Flex positions and the bench pieces are what is killing this team. The QB play the solid receiver punch, the RB punch its all there but, Aiyuk and Judy are not it. Along with the bench. Got another big week ahead of you and the possibility of taking out both undefeated teams in back to back weeks.
8. Wings –
This team falls to 1-3 and is falling into the trap of still being the same team. AJ brown is hurt, Josh Allen is still inconsistent, now Rhamondre Stevenson has possibly lost the starting job due to his fumble problems. This team cant afford to go 1-4. The bright sides have been Jayden Daniel’s, the Seattle backfield and Tony Pollard resurgence. Laporta has been the biggest downfall after what seemed like the TE reign was coming after the way TEs performed last season. There is a long way to go and it has been shown that you can make the playoffs with a losing record.
9. Bryan –
Congrats on the win buddy you did it! Jayden Reed and Goedert has been great. Mahomes has been mediocore and jacobs has seen a dip, but hey Im a believer now. its time to bring back #LETBRYANCOOK. long way to go and honestly maybe chef bryan is what this team needs.
10. Gio –
I told you getting a GF curse is real. The worst start for you in LOD history. This team has no brightside outside of Godwin. It has been rough here for Gio, and is it showing that Gio isnt the force he once was in fantasy? idk but dead last everywhere has got to be tough for you to see.
Ants power rankings –
1. Joe: The Cassidys run the LOD has been the theme of this year and this week is the first time time Joe takes the top spot. Joe remains the only undefeated team in the league and shows little signs of slowing down. He has Jordan Love back and has more then enough talent on the team to not miss Jonathan Taylor too much. Long term, he will need him back but getting his handcuff in Trey Sermon helps. I more want to see him win to continue the name change every week.
2. Chuck: Chuck came crashing back down to earth this week after 3 straight top of the ranking finishes. Struggling to break 100 this week was the least of chucks worries and he may have lost his WR 1 for the year in Rashee Rice and is going through Bye week hell. Hes going through a similar situation to me in finding the right TE to start weekly. After a flawless start to the year, Chuck has a big week ahead of him, especially playing Erik and continuing his #fuckErick support.
3. Ant: My team had a nice bounce back week after putting up a stinker in week 2. Kamara continues to Kamara and St Brown continues to St Brown. The team is filled with solid guys who have potential to be the top of their position rankings on any given week. The downfall of this team is very obviously the QB and TE spots. In this league, a QB can make or break your week just off of passing yards alone and outside of Anthony Richardson in week1 that has been tough for me to find. A move will be made eventually, it just depends on who its for.
4. Ryan: This has been the only consistent thing in this league, Ryan in the 4 hole. The strength of this team has always been its WR and it all would be up to the RBs to figure out the rest. Also without consistent play from Kyler this teams ceiling is capped. It seems like Evan Engram is coming back which would be huge considering he traded him for the top TE currently. If this team can figure out its RB situation, its a serious threat.
5. Erik: Finally, my preseason pick is showing why I was high on his team. His QB room is going to be a revolving door unless he moves one of his guys but thats a good problem to have. King Henry is still the Kang and Ferguson might be the only consistent TE on a week to week basis. There arent too many holes on this team to fill but work can always be done.
6. Nauch: Nauch is ready to break his way into the top 5 and his team is neck and neck with the guys above him. RB has been a surprising strength for this team and WR has more than held it down for what we thought of it. Kittle is in the running for top TE right now and Geno or Goff can win any games the way theyre playing right now. This team might be one move away from taking the step to elite status.
7. Wings: Wings has had a tought spot to start the year. Hes given up the most points in the league and has lost AJ Browna and Ken Walker for pivotal weeks. Sam Laporta has been disappointing but not terrible but might have the biggest ceiling QBs in the league. When Xavier Worthy and Jameson Williams break off a big play this team is deadly, but when they dont, its going to be rough.
8. Bryan: This week finally turned out to be a success for Bryan and it was much needed. Jayden Reed is back as a usable WR and Chase brown finally proved to be startable. Its been a rough start to the year but the team still needs to have more consistent weeks before it rises up the ranks. Without any real top guys this teams ceiling looks about what it was last week and not on a consistent basis.
9. Rob: Wedding week is coming to an end which means married Rob era is now in full swing. Rob mightve gotten the steal of the draft in Malik Nabers but it has been chaos due to the CMC news and Tyreek losing Tua. Saquon can carry this team some weeks but losing its top 2 draft picks production might be the downfall. Theres still time left in the season, but its going to be a long wait until this team has a real shot
10. Gio: Its looking rough man but I dont think anyone is surprised. The GF curse is real and gio is living proof of that. WR is decent but far from perfect, RB is saved by Jordan Mason, and TE might be getting saved by Travis Kelce. Lamar will need to carry this team weekly especially if others cant get it going.
