1). Dixie Normous (2-1)
With a dominant performance this week, Alex comes in at #1 with this week’s edition of the power rankings. At this point, BBC league owners should be hoping and praying they catch this team on a New England or Atlanta BYE week. If you don’t you’re probably going to lose. Alex made a big move this week acquiring Demarco Murray from Ellis. Alex will most assuredly mop the floor with Schindler this coming week.
2). THE MINORMOUS GELONS (2-1)
Grant made some decisions this week that make you scratch your head (i.e. starting Ben Roethlisberger on the road, benching Diggs to start Golden Tate, etc.), but Grant steamrolled Schindler scoring 120 points to move to 2-1 on the young year. Among many players who performed well it has to be encouraging to see Jordan Howard not only play well, but look like a feature back in Chicago over Tarik Cohen. As long as he stays healthy (which will happen, because it always does) Grant will be difficult to beat from week to week.
3). Prison Mike’s Riot Squad (2-1)
I complemented Justin last week for his improved expertise and knowledge in regards to fantasy football. I obviously spoke too soon. Justin’s decisions didn’t matter too much this week because Alex beat him by 60 points, but be benched Michael Thomas. That was a really moronic decision, and probably won’t be held accountable for it. Well I am holding him accountable for it. Michael Thomas is too good to bench. From top to bottom, Justin’s roster is solid. He needs to look to upgrade at QB and TE.
4). Captain Hook and Ladder (2-1)
Ellis had a big week and I’d venture to say it probably surprised a few people. Led by Antonio Brown and Carlos Hyde, Ellis glides into week 4 with a convincing victory over Josh. While there are holes on this team, it helps knowing that you can rely on three guys to do the brunt of your scoring each week.
5). Yarvard U (2-1)
Schindler had a standard week for the exception of the piss poor defensive performance from the Baltimore Ravens in London early on Sunday morning. If they weren’t the worst until in the entire NFL last week he’d come close to scoring 90 points. At the end of the day, it didn’t matter with Grant’s stellar performance. Tough three game stretch for Schindler as he will see Grant, Alex and Justin over the next three weeks. He has terrible running backs and missed on literally all of them in the draft.
6). Yo Adrians (1-2)
Eric was never able to recover from Todd Gurley’s outburst in SF on Thursday night. Eric started two WR’s with big days: Baldwin and Hill, but has yet to start the right two guys in the same week. He needs to start giving Chris Hogan a fair shake and what is up with Ajayi’s performance? He also needs to begin looking at his options for RB2 and will be use one of three WR’s ranked inside the top 15 to get a RB soon?
7). Ring Your Bell! (2-1)
Shula won this week scoring 54 points. Fortunate week for him, and now has two wins through three weeks with an average team. Take what you can get and move forward. S/O to him for ignoring the TY Hilton haters and starting him again. He’s the reason you won. Good play.
8). Grande Se Cador (1-2)
To those who read these power rankings not in the league, this is Tom Dreyer. We all know him and talk to him about the same amount as you do – don’t worry. Tom comes in with a much needed win on the back of Todd Gurley and Odell Beckham Jr. Tom’s team got quite a bit better this week after the Gurley acquisition. The big three of Gurley, Gordon and Beckham Jr. can take you places.
9). I am RORY (0-3)
Well, the FIRESALE has been announced and it would appear that Josh has completely given up on the season. As always, he and Eric are going back and forth and will continue to rip one another for wins/losses, mismanagement, poor drafting, etc. It’s incredible and I hope it never ends. He’s looking for picks for all of his players after week 3. The real question to ask: how many of this players are worth picks? It’ll be up to him and other owners to negotiate for guys like Leonard Fournette, Aaron Rodgers, etc.
10). The Cluster Screw (1-2)
Earl has had a bad team for three years. Maybe this will be the year that he gets what he deserves. Holes everywhere, and is distracted exploring the Alaskan tundra with sweet Merrily!
