Power Rankings Week 7: Return of the Jedi

Okay, so maybe it isn’t the return of the Jedi, that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… but, it is the return of power rankings!! I’m sure my loyal fans have been worried sick about the future of this popular side gimmick and I am here to tell you rest easy, because power rankings is back and here to stay. I know there has been a little confusion as to how the rankings stand currently, but the trending category (⬆️1) will be based on your ranking in week 3, my previous published post on this site. There will also be a new category this week, average points scored (PFPG) and the rank of how that number compares to the league. Does that anything to do with the fact that I am leading points scorer and still sport a 3-3 record… yes as a matter of fact it does. Enough blabbering though, lets get into what you are really here for, Power Rankings Week 7:

  1. God Hates Jags Rec: 5-1 PFPG: 114.9 (3rd) Week 3 Rank: 1 ↔️ To be honest this 5-1 record could be a little bit of a mirage. Corbin’s squad has yet to really be tested outside of the lone loss to John, in fact in 4 of his 6 matchups his opponent has failed to even put up more than 84 points. If you see Corbin across the field, just know your team is in for an inexplicably bad week. He faces what figures to be a stiff text the next 2 games though, as he faces off vs Tommy and then Mr. Peterson.
  2. Too Much Cook Rec: 4-2 PFPG: 121.2 (2nd) Week 3 Rank: 5 ⬆️3 A four game win streak came to an end this week at hands of the Joe. Had Phil been able to come out on top he would have been 2 games clear of the next competitor in the West, but instead he now shares the division lead with Joe and is positioned second as Joe has the head to head tiebreaker. This isn’t that surprising though considering Phil is very use to being second.
  3. Beginner’s Luck Rec: 4-2 PFPG: 114.7 (4th) Week 3 Rank: 8 ⬆️5 This team is a championship contender, something that may not have been evident early in the season, but winning in dominating fashion last week despite Mack being on bye and Amari Cooper getting hurt early says a lot about this team. The only losses on the season are to Phil and an 129-135 defeat to Logan that really could have gone either way, certainly nothing worth hanging your head over. 3 of the next 4 opponents are the bottom 3 in points scored this season, with the exception being Corbin, a 3-1 stretch over that period means a 7-3 record and that should be enough to secure a playoff position.
  4. Country Road Take Mahomes Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 125.8 (1st) Week 3 Rank: 3 ⬇️1 What a roller coaster of a season. Having not yet won back to back games this season it’s hard to imagine that trend changing with McCaffery and Mike Evans on bye, so congratulations to Ryan on a week 7 victory. It’s hard to stay upbeat when you score 159 points and still lose.
  5. Dak was Whack Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 108.3 (7th) Week 3 Rank: 4 ⬆️5 For those of you confused by the name change this is Tommy… well I think it as least, but I don’t know since Tommy has a reputation to neglect his team. That being said though, after 2 big trades this week (I didn’t know Tommy even knew how to trade) Tommy’ team is looking like quite possibly the best top to bottom team in the league. 6 of his 9 starters, ha, are ranked 7th or better at their position and certainly boast the talent of staying ranked that high through the rest of the season.
  6. Fixin 4 a Mixon Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 113.6 (5th) Week 3 Rank: 12 ⬆️5 My my my, this team has come along since the early season horrors of Mitch Trubisky and Joe Mixon. No Trubisky and Mixon haven’t exactly turn it around, but a few unforeseen heroes have shined bright for this squad. I’m sure some of you will be surprised to hear that Chris Godwin is the No 1 WR this year, and former no name Courtland Sutton has made a name for himself averaging almost 14 ppg good enough for 11th among wide receivers. Personally I’m not sure whether to chalk it up to all those mock drafts Ryan mentioned doing, or luck, but regardless this squad has something to prove and despite the unflashy names will certainly be a threat down the stretch.
  7. Mexico Milita Rec: 4-2 PFPG: 104.8 (10th) Week 3 Rank: 6 ⬇️1 By far the hardest team I had ranking was the Mexican Militia, and truthfully I feel this team deserves to be higher now that I really stare at that 7 next to their name. Taking control of the division last week with a win over Phil was massive because if the playoffs started today it’d be the difference of playing Amarve and Ryan, and obviously everyone would rather play Amarve 😛 Either way the win was big and Joe will look to stay atop the division when he faces off with Logan this coming week.
  8. Nothing but a Peanut Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 107.4 (7th) Week 3 Rank: 11 ⬆️3 I see your defense is still doing fine. There might have to be a clause next year that the Pats D is off limits, otherwise right now there looking like a 4th maybe 3rd round pick which is despicable. This team might need to learn from something the Patriots though as they currently are allowing 123.4 ppg, which would be the 2nd best team in the league behind my 125, Yikes. Everything comes back to the mean though and with that being said I’d imagine a few wins are likely to fall this mans way.
  9. complains about every trade HE makes Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 108.7 (6th) Week 3 Rank: 6 ⬇️3 Well Amarve you wouldn’t “have to rely on Dak” if you didn’t trade away the best player in the game. Also, no, why would people have to have a handicap due to your poor WRs when you made the choice to trade Michael Thomas. All I’m saying own your decisions. That came across as mean… really I had just found it ironic.
  10. Team KamiKOZe Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 105.6 (9th) Week 3 Rank: 9 ⬇️1 BREAKING NEWS… (Well at least at the time of me writing this) but Kamara the no 2 overall pick has been traded away and with for? Aaron Jones. Probably the most overrated, deceiving, God awful, worst ypc, but good TD numbers, running back in the whole league. Yes, Aaron Jones is the worst, don’t believe my sentiment? Ask Phil what I think of Aaron Jones. I’m sorry Logan, but in my opinion you got hosed. Maybe Sony Michel will be a bonafide superstar the rest of the season, but my money sure ain’t on Jones.
  11. Schweitz Sexy Squad Rec: 3-3 PFPG: 99.4 (11th) Week 3 Rank: 2 ⬇️9 I think, if I’m not mistaken, the saying goes, “pride comes before the fall.” Corbin could probably tell me who said that, but the big brained blonde would likely only answer my question with a jest, so I did not bother to ask him. Despite an inspiring 156 point week 1 Justin’s squad has failed to reach 80 in 3 of the previous 5 weeks and one of those going over 80 only totaling 89. That’s not good, and if the streak of the player drafting 11th winning the title is to stay in tact some big changes are going to be needed to right the ship.
  12. Rest in Pieces… Rec: 2-4 PFPG: 94.8 (12th) Week 3 Rank: 14 ⬆️2 Hold up, wait a minute, (put a little love in it) maybe Kathleen’s team isn’t dead just quite yet. There must have been a couple slurp juice waiting for her in week 5 because when you thought she was hiding in a bush with 1 hp she came out with a rocket launcher and won back to back games. The season isn’t even half over and with 7 players sitting at 3-3 Kathleen could very easily find herself right back in the mix if she can string together a few more wins.
  13. Easy Breesy Rec: 1-5 PFPG: 85.2 (14th) Week 3 Rank: 13 ↔️ Whewww, I’ll be honest it has been a rough go for the defending champs. I tried to think of something funny honestly, but I really got nothing. It’s not gonna get easier down the stretch too because all the remaining teams on the schedule boast at least records of .500 or better. I think you said it best.. you are last years New York Knicks.
  14. My Team’s Trash Rec: 1-5 PFPG: 87.1 (13th) Week 3 Rank: 10 ⬇️4 Aww you are a sweet brother, very kind of you to take over Kathleen’s spot to become the new basement dweller. Hopefully you don’t take this as far as adopting Tom Brady’s gig of kissing family on the mouth…
