1). Prison Mike (3-0)
Probably no one gets given more crap than Justin, but its time to give him some credit. His roster is just as good as Shula’s and Steve’s yet he’s got more wins than Shula and more wins than Steve. The rise of Aaron Jones has given him a top 5 back after leaving the auction with none. He’s got the best (2) WRs in fantasy right now (avging 17.2 from the WR spot), DK Metcalf is rising up the WR2 board, and Mahomes is unreal. His only main “hole” right now is Kenyan Drake who is struggling but still an RB2. $10 for a waiver wire TE was a curious decision, but Justin is heavily involved in all RB-for-sale deals to try and get even better.
2). Super Kamario Bros (3-0)
Steve has the best trio of backs in the league right now until CMC comes back with (3) top 10 backs and probably the best player in fantasy right now in Alvin. His RBs have averaged a ridiculous 21.1 per back. There are only a handle of backs right now I’d rather own than Jonathan Taylor, and he’s got one of the big 3 QBs. The only knock on Steve is his doesn’t own a WR1, but he has a stable of high end WR2s in Thielen/Arob/Woods to deploy for his 2 WR spots. Also, Steve continues to catch breaks as teams are only scoring 92.2 ppg against him, last in the BBC. Steve is 1st all-time in BBC scoring and last all-time in BBC points against, giving him the best W% of all-time at .591.
3). Swift Buffalo (2-1)
Shula rounds up the top 3 tier of teams in the BBC, all who are seeking their first title. Shula’s team is just as good as the other 2 above him depending on your flavor of choice. With Carson’s injury, he has a hole at RB, but James Robinson is a competent back that can fill in for now. Shula has been plagued by injuries with Davante/MT/Kittle all missing time, which helped him lose to Grant in Week 2. Shula has strong depth and is leading the BBC at QB avging 32.3, but will he be active enough in the trade market to get a stud in his RB2 hole and put this team over the top?
4). The Cluster Screw (2-1)
Earl loves Leonard Fournette, invested $22 in him, yet he hasn’t been in his lineup yet. When will Earl pony up and play him? He won’t, because Leonard isn’t a top 30 RB the rest of the way. Most of his players have gotten off to slow starts, by Henry broke out this past week and CEH had a good game on Monday night. All 3 of his backs have top 10 potential. His main hole right now is WR2 as Scary Terry has underperformed due to Haskins sucking. Earl is last in QB scoring and has invested in Cam to fix it, but that seems hopeful at best. Earl will most likely figure it out and then this team becomes more dangerous.
5). Tom’s Team (3-0)
One of the more underwhelming 3-0 teams in the new era of BBC super teams. He had $300+ going into the auction yet doesn’t own a top 10 back, and probably won’t own one the entire season due to never trading. Tom is last in the league in RB scoring, behind Hoober and Alex. Tom’s favorite word in the English language is “Nope” as that’s all he ever says when approached to trade with. Ridley/Godwin could be top 5 rest of the way once Godwin becomes healthy.
6). Full-Court Prescott (1-2)
Josh continues to amaze us with his unconventional moves, pivoting from being a seller to a buyer and vice versa every other conversation with him. I don’t know why we are surprised as he did the same thing last year, investing $68 on Mack/DJ only to get pennies on the dollar later when he sold them. Josh can’t stop his attachment to David Johnson, his most frequently started player in his career, yet now he has 4 backs for 3 spots and DJ will stay on his bench when CMC comes back? While 3 top 8 backs will be great at that point, not having a top 40 WR on his team is a disaster. He completely ignores the WR position just like the Howie Roseman completely ignores the LB position. Spoiler: It doesn’t work and your defense gets gashed over and over.
7). JUSTY BUGS (1-2)
Grant has been quiet this fantasy season. While this team would be much better if he had Zeke on it, he was able to get relative values in JuJu for $18 and Diggs for $10, both of whom are high end WR2s low end WR1s. This owner could put some pressure on Josh for the final playoff spot if he goes and buys a RB (maybe Conner?), so it will be interesting to see if Grant decides to buy or sell as the year goes on.
8). Yarvard U (0-3)
Schindler has been getting dominated in points against this season as teams are scoring 144.7 ppg against him. While not having a terrible roster before selling, the 0-3 hole is hard to climb out of and his schedule is the hardest in the BBC. He has done a nice job of getting back to $195 and has potential to get over $250 by selling Conner/Andrews/Keenan. Conner has been undervalued all year and is worth some value.
9). Yo Adrians (0-3)
Still reeling from the relegation failure, the disaster of the Sixers/Phillies/Eagles seasons, and his boat not starting on the final day of the water ski season, this owner avoided even more disappointment when Justin came back to beat Alex. The hope here is that the combination of Mostert/Henderson/Kelley can be enough firepower to out-finish Alex and make him pay the $50 fine.
10). Dixie Normous (0-3)
Alex got 6 TDs from McKinnon/Wilson/Burkhead, which has got to be one of the highest performances over projected points in history. Alex’s goal is to get to $400 going into next year, but getting $6 for anyone on his terrible roster may be impossible.
