1. Goodfellas: Team Gabagool
flips with ‘Mates following a strong win
over Bambi & Co. In fact, 4 strong wins
in a row, with balanced scoring and
depth. Not a huge ceiling week-to-week,
but high floor gives ’Fellas scoring
consistency. WR room will be the weak
link during bye week gauntlet, but
should have enough fire power elsewhere
to compensate (something they know a lot
about). Enjoy being on top while it
lasts. Buffalo 66 may have something to
say.
2. Buffalo 66: Apparently, you
beat Gamblers. That puts you ahead of
‘Mates, given your league best 641 PF, 4
straight wins and 100+ points every
week. Strong across all positions and
now a peaking Purdy. Game of the week
against division rival TBD. Get the
popcorn out.
3. Cellmates: Team Overthink
slips to 3-spot following a loss to
their arch nemesis, and Buffalo 66’s
rise to dominance. Should trade for
strong defense to offset a shaky RB room
(Roberts, HINT-HINT). But won’t. Strong
roster every place else will keep ‘Mates
in playoff contention, assuming
paralysis by analysis doesn’t creep in.
Which it will.
4. TBD: I owe Burrow & Bowers
LLC dinner for beating my division
opponent. Thank you. Had to keep you at
3 due to your Week-3 loss to ‘Mates.
Much like the rent in Godfather-2 “Stays
like-ah before!” Has a legit opportunity
to move up w/a win over division rival
Buffalo 66. With Burrow on bye, you best
hope Caleb returns at full function.
Bowers was built in a lab.
5. Bohemians: Got the dub over a
bottom-half team. Nothing to brag about.
BUT WRs finally showed up. If (big IF)
this team starts firing on all cylinders
on a weekly basis will be a strong
contender down the stretch, but needs
Loveland to wake the hell up for that to
happen. Thought I had the differential
pool wrapped up. I hate Dan. Looking
forward to facing Klein & Co. Save a bar
stool for me at MT Pockets.
6. Terry Schiavos: Slowly moving
up the ranks. Sneaky 3 dubs in a row
brings Schiavos into a 4-way in the
West. Gotta be honest, I did not see
Jaylen Warren producing at his current
pace. Kudos, Mr. Greenman. Weeks 8 and 9
will be the true test w/matchups versus
Gamblers and Bohemians. Until then,
don’t slip.
7. Gamblers: Two losses
back-to-back drops ya, and now you have
the pleasure of facing another division
rival (Endzone Animals) sans St Brown
and Gibbs. No pressure. The bye week
Gods hate you.
8. EndZone Animals: Herbert
sucks and 2 losses in a row. Good news:
In a 4-way tie atop the West and can
easily separate from the pack
w/favorable match-ups versus division
opponents Gamblers (no Gibbs or St
Brown) and Bohemians (no Allen, Cook, or
Washington). That said, can also slide
into oblivion if the losing trend
continues. Buckle up!
9. Co's Pro's: Who has 2 thumbs
and needs Kenneth Walker in their
lineup? I’d put ya higher but the loss
to Endzone Animals breaks the tie.
Honestly, third in the league in PF and
2-3 record is just bad luck. Needs
Jeanty’s ankle to spontaneously heal and
Charbs to return to add some much needed
RB depth. Want some Mike Washington?
Ring me. Lucky for AC, he faces Team
Overthink this week.
10. Incubus: Two weeks in a row
over 100+ and a win over a division
rival gets Incubus a bump up one spot.
Well done, Paul Klein. Or is it Pall
Mall? (Ha!). Gotta admit, I am not
looking forward to facing King Henry,
CMC and London.
11. DDR: Another team with
second consecutive 100+ game. Probably
no coincidence, given Maye’s resurgence.
Solid starting lineup but thin depth.
You’re going to feel the bye weeks,
starting this week when you have to
bench Chase.
12. Goats: 2-3 and third lowest
in PF. Needs to trade a TE for an RB.
But won’t. Ironic when you consider Oats
pre-draft trades. Have fun w/Goodfellas
this week. Make sure they know your
“safe word.”
13. Utter Dominance: Uh….the
middle of your roster is garbage. Should
be selling QBs, OL and D to contenders
for players/picks. But won’t.
Battle of the Oh-fers this week.
14. Horsemen: Team Vertically
Gifted was here last week. Lost in
Week-5 so stays like-ah before. I assume
you’re comfy. Aren’t rebuilds fun?!
It’ll be a heated tickle fight w/Utter
this week.
