Week 4 Power Rankings!
One month in to another fantasy football year: by now, the contenders have begun to separate themselves from those who will struggle all season long. And while the playoff spots won’t entirely be won or lost over the next few weeks, the tweaking and positioning that occurs now can go a long way toward determining the ultimate outcome in December. Who will thrive, and who will flounder? Stay tuned!
The Crass
12. ★
Record: 0-4; Last Week: 12
The almost criminal negligence of the roster is really killing this team’s already slim chances. This week’s infractions: one injured WR, one injured RB, one demoted kicker, and one QB on bye. Perhaps they’re playing for a high draft pick?
11. Cupcakes of DOOM!
Record: 1-3; Last Week: 11
A better showing this week, but it wasn’t enough to snag a win. Now they face a near must-win matchup against the slopsucker of the league if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
10. Doctor Dilaudid
Record: 1-3; Last Week: 9
After the nice opening week, it’s been all downhill for the Docs. They’re teetering on the edge; get a nurse in here for resuscitation, stat!
9. Bad Bad Victorcat
Record: 1-3; Last Week: 6
Perhaps we were too quick to anoint the Victorcat as a contender. What a horrific week: scoring less than a team that only had 5 players contribute anything at all? On a team with this kind of talent? Seriously?
The Morass
8. Z Power
Record: 2-2; Last Week: 10
Best showing of the season for the Z’s, who now gain some new depth at the troubling WR spot. The question remains unanswered, however, as to whether they have any higher gears to keep up with the league’s pacesetters.
7. Fat Cats
Record: 1-3; Last Week: 8
Granted that the game was pretty much a gimmee this week; nevertheless, the Cats still performed quite well and no longer find themselves in utter panic mode. Perhaps their weekly showings would not be so schizophrenic if they would just lay off the catnip a bit.
6. The Schmuckernators
Record: 2-2; Last Week: 7
A decent, though unspectacular, week for these guys who seem to be moving in the right direction. With two of their next three matchups against the best teams in the league, they’ll need to step up their game to have a chance.
5. Left Hand Strangers
Record: 2-2; Last Week: 5
Oh Jay! Bad Cutler strikes again, sinking the Left Hander’s chances at victory this week. They do own the head-to-head victory over the Schmucks, so they stay ahead of them…for now.
The Class
4. A Sheep at the Wheel
Record: 3-1; Last Week: 4
The Sheep bounce back from last week’s disappointment with a solid performance. The next two weeks offer tantalizing matchups against the two remaining undefeateds, so we’ll see how contender-worthy the Sheep really are. Even gaining a split would be huge.
3. Minions
Record: 3-1; Last Week: 3
One week after a breakthrough victory, the Minions suffer a letdown and fall rather meekly. Granted, it was a rough bye week (yes, AP being out probably hurts them more than having half the team gone during Cleveland’s bye week), so they get a pass – but just one.
2. Cool Runnings
Record: 4-0; Last Week: 1
Even though the managed to keep the record unblemished, the Runnings fell back to earth a bit this week. They’ve got an intriguing matchup next week against the Sheep where both teams are dealing with significant bye issues – a great test of depth.
1. The Hot Showers
Record: 4-0; Last Week: 2
Four games with nary a bad performance among them. The Hot Showers finally had the overall high score this week, and they have been the most consistently good team to this point, so it’s time to recognize them on top of the rankings. Can they deal with success?
