Power Rankings: Week 8

Apologies for the delay! Been a bit short on time this week, so this round will be shorter than others. I’ll be back up to speed next week.

Week 8 was a big one. The bottom half of the pack is as jam-packed as ever, and the top half is becoming more and more of a dogfight.

6 weeks to go!

1. Tony Brown Town (7-1)

   Last Week: 2nd

   The scoring has slowed, but the dubs are flowing like a Friday night kegger. The Michael Thomas news is booboo, but bringing in Davante Adams makes this club a near lock for a first round BYE.

2. Tua Tagovailoa (7-1)

   Last Week: 3rd

   Slowly getting healthy, and only getting better. A few unexpected absences paired with a handful of BYEs make for a difficult Week 9, but the playoffs are already a lock. Down quite a bit in points scored, Chet may have to beat Case and/or Tom outright to avoid the tiebreaker for a first round BYE.

3. Keep Serup In My Kupp (5-3)

   Last Week: 4th

   Add one more super team to the list. The FLEX spot remains iffy behind an otherwise star-stuffed roster, but Boston Scott will fill in nicely for a while. A push for a BYE may be a tall order, but the playoffs are a near certainty barring any unforeseen collapses.

4. Peeping Toms (7-1)

   Last Week: 1st

   Christmas is canceled. Fantasy football is stupid. Derrick Henry and CMC would’ve been unbeatable - WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?? Still at 7-1, there’s reason for hope. Maybe Michael Carter is for real? One things for sure though, McCaffrey needs to suit up and carry Lord Henry’s baton.

5. Amar(w)i gonna get an uber? (3-5)

   Last Week: 5th

   Nothing like a W fresh off of a roster rebrand. Like a pitcher’s W-L numbers, this team’s record doesn’t tell the whole story. Easily the best team that’s still fighting for a playoff spot.

6. The Steamers (4-4)

   Last Week: 6th

   .500 and rolling with the punches. Who needs ARod, Hunt, and Brittle anyway? A good bet to make the playoffs, but there isn’t much breathing room at the moment.

7. Z-Unit (4-4)

   Last Week: 8th

   Boy, remember when you were 4-0? What a difference a month makes. Thankfully this has shaped up to be a too heavy league, so there’s ample time for an adjustment.

8. Hammered Uncle Hanks (3-5)

   Last Week: 10th

   Tough loss to a damn good team, but the ballsy trades have been net positive so far. With that said, this boat can’t take on much more water if it intends to float beyond Week 14.

9. Hard Woods (3-5)

   Last Week: 7th

   LOL. Just when things are looking up, the world turns around and b*tch slaps Kyle across the face. That was an embarrassing loss, but the team is plenty talented enough to make a playoff push.

10. A Stainers (3-5)

    Last Week: 9th

    I don’t know, that final playoff spot would require a jump over four other teams with just 6 games to go. We’re approaching “win-out” territory.

11. Hop On This Dick (2-6)

    Last Week: 12th

    Hilarious win for a dejected lineup missing Saquon and Lamar. Not sure how you pulled that witchcraft off. I guess I can’t say “it’s over” quite yet. Give it time though.

12. RYE Week (1-7)

    Last Week: 11th

    Turn off the lights, the party’s over. But hey! Someone has a big weekend coming up!
