Week 2 Power Rankings

Good grief people! Check the rosters before game time! At least four teams left in starters who weren’t even playing this week. Note: you can’t score any points when your players don’t get any game time.

1. The Home Pwners (Record 2-0, Standings: 1, Previous Week PR: 2)

Masterful, brilliant effort, especially from the passing game. With a halfway decent tight-end, they could have approached the all time league high score, and that’s saying something with the dilution of talent when the league jumps from 8 to 12 teams.

2. Cool Hand (Record 2-0, Standings: 4, Previous Week PR: 3)

This team is so reliant on the Pittsburgh and Denver offenses that it’s scary. Right now, those offenses are so good that it’s scary, and this team is riding them to the number two spot in the rankings. They’ll probably drop back at some point, but right now the Cool Hand is pretty hot.

3. The Schmuckernators (Record 2-0, Standings: 4, Previous Week PR: 1)

They picked the right week to come crashing back to earth. This might be their lowest scoring game of the year, and they still won. No need to panic here.

4. The Dngrs Dngrs (Record 2-0, Standings: 2, Previous Week PR: 8)

They pulled off a nice victory with a bit of luck and a huge effort from their QB. Now they have a good shot at keeping the momentum going and padding their record over the next few weeks.

5. Brett’s Benzos BID (Record 1-1, Standings: 7, Previous Week PR: 6)

Not a bad game, but came up short against a better team. While there’s no shame in that, they need to be at their best to take down the top teams in the league. And right now, those top teams keep coming with another tough matchup this week.

6. Cupcakes of Doom! (Record 1-1, Standings: 5, Previous Week PR: 4)

Valiant comeback Monday night, but didn’t quite have enough in the tank to pull it off. They have enough firepower to hang with anyone on any week, but they are a position or two short of consistently filling the check box next to the win column.

7. Blind Squirrels (Record 1-1, Standings: 6, Previous Week PR: 7)

The little furry ones get back on track with another solid showing; this time they get the win. They are a solid team can contend each week, especially if they can find some support for their stars.

8. Fat Cats (Record 0-2, Standings: 9, Previous Week PR: 5)

Picked a terrible week to lay an egg, and paid for it. Really it was a pretty embarrassing performance, and they know it if the recent transaction list is any guide. While the future will show if shaking this team up so early in the season was the best course of action, it was clear something needed to be done.

9. Incomprehensibles (Record 1-1, Standings: 8, Previous Week PR: 10)

What a nice story, overcoming the loss of their star player to squeak out a victory. There are some decent parts here, so they might be able to string together a bit of a winning streak since they have a competitive matchup next week.

10. Minions (Record 0-2, Standings: 10, Previous Week PR: 9)

Well, that was pretty miserable.

11. Inglorius Bat Turds (Record 0-2, Standings: 11, Previous Week PR: 11)

Two receivers did not play due to suspensions and hurricanes. That cost them a chance at pulling off a huge upset. Can they rebound now that everyone has returned?

12. Cactus. Look out! (Record: 0-2, Standings: 12, Previous Week PR: 12)

This team has scored a total of less than 97 points over the first two games this season. To put that into perspective, last week five teams scored over 100 points. At this point, the over/under on wins for this team is two. I’m taking the under.
