Week 2
Power Ranking
The World's most advanced metricGame of the Week
Mentally Tired Arch 109.02 vs. Southern Comfort 106.26
In December, this game could be remembered as one that broke the tie between these two for a first round bye, or we could look back and say "can you believe at one time these two were top five in the power rankings?"*. Either way what a fight this turned out to be. In a game that wasn't decided until late Sunday night, Mentally Tired grinded out a W against old rival SoCo. This was a much needed win for Mentally Tired, as he needs to stack up as many wins and points as he can before Antonio Brown starts becoming a bad influence on Julio Jones.
For SoCo, on the other hand, this seems like a mere setback. They have the third most points in the league, and it isn't that hard to see them go on a run that can keep them close to the top of the power rankings, and the less important standings. Great early season game between two teams that make the league better when they are at the height of their powers.
Hot Takes
- Fort Dix has to be wondering who he's got to give a personal handshake to to finally get some good luck in this league***. He has the 5th most points in the league, but is one of the two 0-2 teams. This week's bad luck wasn't as egregious as Week 1, but it still feels like things will start to even out at some point, right?
- Prime Time avoided an 0-2 start behind 20 point efforts by Saquon and Mark****. It has been a bit of a slow start for some of the players that Prime is depending on, but since there is never anything fluky about fantasy football, we all expect these players to do exactly how we predicted and steady the bow for SS Prime Time.
- If it wasn't for terrible, thumb ligament tearing luck for Bob Bruton, he would still not be off to a very lucky start. Drew putting up a negative number helped put Bob in a very unfamiliar spot at the bottom of the Power Ranking. Bob has already replaced one Forever QB that can still sling it with another Forever QB that can still sling it, and we all know Bob's ability to Mcgyver his was through a season, but we are used to seeing a 1 or a 2 to the left of his name, not a 12.
- Looking ahead to next week, the obvious standout to me is First place, highest scoring team in the league as a 4 point favorite over . . . (checks notes) . . . (sets notes on fire) . . . 0-2 and 11th in the Power Ranking Sack Lunch? Sack, if you are ready to make a statement, it is here on a tee for you.
That's all for this week. Horrible luck to all of you in Week 3.

*for the record I think both these teams are contenders**.
** But I could be wrong. It happens.
***It rhymes with Throw me your VDs
****When you have reached a level of fame that Saquan Barkley and Mark Andrews have, people just call you by your first name, because it is assumed that everyone knows who you are talking about. Other examples of this are Peyton (Manning), Hulk (Hogan) and Prince.
