1). Captain Hook and Ladder (8-1)
We’re two-thirds through the regular season and Steve has the look of the favorite to hoist the Rack come Christmas-time. This pesky owner seems to always be around this time of year. He’s consistent and for multiple years now has done a nice job at all three phases of fantasy: player evaluation, negotiating personnel, and hitting the waiver wire. Steve has the team to join Grant, Alex, Josh and Schindler has a heralded member of the championship circle. Question: Will Todd Gurley play Week 16?
2). I Am RORY (7-2)
In my opinion, this owner has the firepower to compete with Steve. His trio of backs are absolutely terrifying. They’ve combined for 60 each of the last three weeks they’ve all played, and with his upgrade of Julio Jones, can certainly win the league for the second time in three years. Question: Will Kareem Hunt be active Week 16, and will the New York Giants shut Saquon Barkley down?
3). The Cluster Screw (6-3)
Another year and another great year for Jon Earl. This two time manager of year is primed and positioned to make a deep run into late December. His team has not only caught fire, but has scored 263 points in the last two matchups. This team is loaded, and should be feared moving into the last portion of the season. Earl is the biggest threat to Josh for a BYE. Question: Are we sure that AJ Green will play another snap of football in 2019?
4). Grande Se Cador (5-4)
Tom finds himself on the verge of a third playoff berth in three years in the BBC. Led by Showtime Mahomes, Melvin Gordon and Adam Thielen, Tom looks poised to make a deep run. James Conner is making it awfully hard for Pittsburgh to abandon him mid-season for Le’Veon Bell. Bell is one of, if not, the biggest idiot in all of professional sports. Colin Kaepernick still has my vote. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t expect much moving forward. Question: Tom, do you like people? Do you consider the BBC a community that is even necessary? Do you know the first and last name of other owners in this league? If another owner died tomorrow, would you even attend the funeral? Do you even know who I am? Would you mind showing signs up life to other members of the league?
5). Yarvard U (6-3)
Class hasn’t been in session for back-to-back weeks, but Schindler is all in yet again looking to make a run at a title. I’d say he’s behind the first three members of these rankings, but given the week, could beat any of them. It’s a miracle he’s in this conversation and has done a nice job piecing together talent. Question: Do you think you’ll ever be able to part ways with the Ravens D? They scored a combined 1 point in the last three weeks. They suck.
6). Nick HAD a Chubb (4-5)
Shula looks to be the last of the six teams to make the playoffs. Despite his lackluster record, Shula has some pieces that could win him some playoff games should he matchup correctly (which he probably won’t). If he were to sell, part of me wonders if he’d still make the playoffs due to the other manager giving up, selling or being downright reprehensible. Question: Will you ever name your team something clever?
7). Yo Adrians (3-6)
Does anyone hate seeing people sell more than Eric? Probably not. Maybe it’s time for you to pony up and buy? His issue is that he plays four playoff teams the rest of the way. Question: Is Nick Chubb your guy?
8). Dixie Normous (4-5)
This team would’ve made the playoffs over Shula, but opted to invest in next season. Alex will have a first, two seconds and four thirds next year. Personally, I like how he thinks. He wouldn’t have beaten Ellis/Josh/Earl anyways. Question: Will you ever rise back to a championship contender?
9). Duge Hick (1-8)
Rough sledding for Grant, but has found a way to build into his future. Parting ways with OBJ so quickly lost him a chance at a higher round pick, etc. No longer in the basement due to some good weeks, and Justin’s inability to do anything correctly. Question: Will you ever write the power rankings?
10). Prison Mike’s Riot Squad (1-8)
Congratulations to Justin, and his wife Laura, on the birth of their daughter. Lucy Anne is really the only thing salvageable in regards to Justin’s year in fantasy. Justin is the worst owner in the BBC, and it’s not even close. It’s almost astonishing how poor he’s been. Question: Will you ever make the playoffs again? I’m actually serious.
