Week 3 Rankings, 2012

The scabs are botching things royally! But don’t let it get you down. The replacement refs may be affecting the quality of play in the NFL, but the URK Fantasy League soldiers on, strong as ever. And now that bye weeks are arriving and injuries are mounting, it’s time to act like the powerful owners we pretend to be, and catch replacement-itis! Bring the fever!

12. Cactus watch out! (Steve S.)

Yahoo Power Ranking: 10
Standings: 12
W-L: 1-2
Horrific week for a team in desperate need of depth.  The foundation is actually pretty solid, but the lack of healthy RBs is killer.

10. Chi Don't Dance (Luke)
Average Ballot Position: 9.6 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 11
Standings: 10
W-L: 1-2
Tough week for a team with Luck, but without luck. Their RB situation is in shambles, much like the Cacti.

10. Yakety Sacks (Jaron)
Average Ballot Position: 9.6 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 8
Standings: 11
W-L: 1-2
Barely hang on for a much needed win. Is this the turning of a corner for their season?

9. Minions (Chris)
Average Ballot Position: 9.0 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 12
Standings: 9
W-L: 1-2
In trouble with injuries already. However, it’s too early to just write them off yet – they probably have a few more wins in them.

8. Obese Geese (Steve E.)
Average Ballot Position: 7.1 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 4
Standings: 8
W-L: 1-2
Huge, huge win. That was impressive, as they finally lived up to their potential. Now, can they follow it up?

7. Z Power (Andy G.)
Average Ballot Position: 6.9 (1)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 5
Standings: 7
W-L: 1-2
Tough defeat for a team that’s been in thrillers every week. Got gray hair yet?

6. MutantMennoMarauders (Brett)
Average Ballot Position: 5.8 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 9
Standings: 5
W-L: 2-1
The Marauders simply got overpowered this past week. And now their opening day roster is falling apart. And Chalice comes up next week; it’s not getting any easier.

5. Bacon Cheeseburgers (Andy K.)
Average Ballot Position: 5.5 (1)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 2
Standings: 4
W-L: 2-1
After a week when everything went right, an underwhelming effort. But, they drew the right opponent, and snagged an all-important win.

4. Sack Attack SuperPAC (Danny K.)
Average Ballot Position: 4.8 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 3
Standings: 6
W-L: 2-1
Another nice showing for a team that rode big performances to a win. And that was without much support from their supposed stars – good sign, right?

3. Stars (Dan B. H.)
Average Ballot Position: 3.3 (0)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 6
Standings: 3
W-L: 2-1
Big win for a team that looks really legit. Not the sexiest team on paper, but they’re definitely getting the job done.

Standings: 1
W-L: 2-1
Well, their points are trending down, but they got a great win to reclaim their number one spot in the standings. Clearly, what they have is clicking right now.

1. The Schmuckernators (Jason)
Average Ballot Position: 2.5 (1)
Yahoo Power Ranking: 7
Standings: 2
W-L: 2-1
Tough loss to bring them back down to earth…and up in the power rankings! It may be fleeting, however; with all their injuries this past week, their depth will definitely be tested.
