1). Yo Adrians (0-0)
Between eating soggy fries that aren’t his at Wrigley Field, attempting to eat leftover dogs, burgers and brats at the Chipotle grilled the day before, and somehow conceiving a child born in 5 months Eric finds himself at #1 in the power rankings. Eric hasn’t been formidable in three years – it’s about time. The best core of 5 players in our league. A force to be reckoned with.
2). Knights of a Knight (0-0)
There’s a strong argument that this owner drafted RB1, WR1, and TE1. A lot of backlash for acquiring CMC from Earl that I never understood – great value for a 7th. CMC is ready to go for 1,000 on the ground and 1,000 in the air. He acquired depth in this years draft, but would it have served him better to part ways with a couple thirds to move up in the late first early second? Missed you in Bentor Harbor, my friend.
3). Prison Mike’s Dementors (0-0)
Justin fell on this list due to his draft. Passing on Dalvin at 7 and settling for 14 was probably the biggest misstep of this drafts first three rounds. That being said, Justin has some firepower and may just make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Going into the season, he currently holds the worst record in BBC history.
4). Yarvard U (0-0)
Class is in session! Schindler has some depth at RB alongside a top WR that puts him at #4 overall. He will need to acquire talent moving forward to get into the top 3, but is poised to score consistently from week to week with this current lineup. A trade post-draft with Ellis allowed him to acquire Evans which helped balance his roster.
5). Kig Bahunas (0-0)
No one loves risk more than this owner. This decision was made prior to the draft with a unparalleled amount of excitement and fervor. The taking of Ezekiel Elliot at three overall and his subsequent deal of 6 years for 90 million saved Grant. He needed this desperately. Coming off an abysmal 2-11 season he looks to hoist the rack for the third time.
6). Voodoo Mama JuJu (0-0)
Ellis’ draft didn’t go exactly how he wanted it to go. He saw Dalvin go a couple picks before him, and Jones/Carson/Jacobs go before him in rounds 2/3 and was left without two starting running backs. Trading for Chris Carson will seem to be massive moving forward. One of the league’s most thorough and consistent owners looks to take a step towards a title this year.
7). #Hustlin (0-0)
For the lack of picks he had coming into this draft, Shula did a nice job. He had a good keeper in this back pocket, has a solid tandem of WR’s and looks for David Montgomery to pop in Chicago. We’re also glad he made it back to Pittsburgh a day later than everyone else for seemingly no reason at all. Tough break. Keep us posted on Kaitlyn.
8). Lights, Kamara, Action (0-0)
Per usual, the best tandem of backs in the league, but not much else from this owner. I like the Lindsey pick, but after that not too much more to boast. Should he have taken Zeke? Here’s a list of players that went after the Bears D: Kalen Ballage, Dante Pettis, Adrian Peterson, Justice Hil and Peyton Barber. Why gain position advantages when you literally have no WR’s. We’ll see how far this champion owner’s backs can take him.
9). Mayfield of Dreams (0-0)
After almost getting banned from the BBC for lack of involvement Tom showed up to the draft and showed well. Over the last three drafts, you could argue that no one comes out better than Tom. No keeper, and weak in RB2 and flex, but has several guys who can pop. Thank you for your prompt responses via trades this week – it’s been refreshing knowing we may be able to negotiate when needed.
10). The Cluster Screw (0-0)
He has the worst roster, but will probably start the year 3-0 for no reason at all. A horrendous draft for Earl. He moved back to 27 from 20, he kept Williams only for Shady to get more carries, took Patrick Mahomes at 27 with only SB & Damien on his roster, and has no stars minus SB. This goes to show that in fantasy, titles truly aren’t everything. That being said, we missed you this past weekend.
