1). Swift Buffalo (4-2)
This is the team to beat, every position has a stud and I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t win every week. The 4-2 record is only because of injuries/players punching other people and assuming healthy and better anger management then Shula shouldn’t have any trouble winning lots of games.
2). Prison Mike (5-1)
Justin’s team is good, plain and simple. That RB2 slot is a little iffy but he has 3 good options to choose from, he could ride it out and have no issues. WR’s are all world guys that should be little cause for concern. The TE spot is where the question marks come in, does Justin need to upgrade that spot or just ride it out. And I see you picked up AB, screw that dude.
3). Tom’s Team (6-0)
Some narrow victories and favorable schedule inflate the record a bit that’s for sure. Kyler has been great and my WR/TE seem set for now. Lingering questions at the RB spot are cause for concern and may require some more wheeling and dealing. Maybe it will be the COLTS D that bring the Rack to beautiful Durham, NC.
4). Super Kamario Bros. (5-1)
Ellis has a good team; I could easily swap him with mine on this list. His roster has high end talent that can give him big games and good depth options to fill in should injuries arise. If Lamar can get back to what we saw last year, this team will be a favorite to win the rack.
5). Full-Court Prescott (3-3)
Josh just keeps hanging around despite the plethora of injuries he has sustained. He keeps dangling outrageous trade offers (I assume others are getting them as well) to complete his roster and those roster holes are what lands him at #5. TE is in desperate need of upgrade and though Julio had a great game this week he needs more at that position to compete with the teams ahead of him. Of course, his stable of running backs could carry the load but there not much room for error should injuries/poor performance occur.
6). Yarvard U (2-4)
I am truly hoping the Colts D holds up to the standards they have set because AJ Brown could be real good, I may regret that trade… hopefully not. This team has a couple of interesting pieces that if they stay healthy and produce as they are capable could do some damage. There are holes on this roster at RB and I would say QB that need may need to be addressed. #6 and #7 on my list are clearly a cut below the next 5
7). JUSTY BUGS (2-4)
A team that needs to inch out every ounce of value from its players and has no star to put up big numbers. Grant will need to manage this roster at a MOY level to get this team to the playoffs, maybe not though if 3 other teams are a collection of the Brock Osweilers of the world. Here is to hoping no more of his players get sloshed and decide to get behind the wheel.
8). The Cluster Screw (2-4)
Dropped this team a spot since he told me he is raising the white flag and selling while currently tied for a playoff spot. I understand the reasoning as he has little to no chance to do anything if he makes the playoffs. A brutal loss this week may have been the last nail in the coffin and Leveon Bell signing with the Chiefs is less than ideal for CEH. Only a couple of pieces worth selling though every dollar counts come auction time.
9). Yo Adrians (1-5)
Just a notch above the cellar and there are a couple more interesting pieces than Dixie Normous but that might be a stretch. This roster is more likely to be consistent but it’s not gonna make waves, 2021 can’t come soon enough for Eric and Alex as they salivate over their cash. And you guys have to use all your auction money, just a heads up.
10). Dixie Normous (0-6)
Dixie Normous is more of a flaccid micropenis this year. An easy win for the playoff contenders and not much on the roster to worry about. Justin Jefferson is the exception as he has blown a load several times this year and has upide keeper value. Not much else beyond that.
