Week Three - Power Rankings

Taking a break from the normal format, the MillerKuz FFL Newsletter proudly presents Week Three Power Rankings. 

But before we get to that, the Commish has kindly asked each member of the League to respond to a poll question on the League's home page.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming. 

Keep in mind that these rankings reflect the current state of the league.  They do not, in any way, reflect the future performance of any teams.  And, even though it goes without saying, these rankings were compiled by our professional and objective staff.

If you are in anyway bothered or embarrassed by your position in these rankings, I do not care.  Be better at fantasy football and there will not be a problem.

12.  William Wallace - WW has amassed the least amount of points in the league to date (254).  Also, he is 0-3 and Anthony Dixon is still on his roster.

11.  The Big Mac Attack - All of Mac Attack's starting RBs and WRs (five players) combined for 17 points this past week, including Hines Ward, who is (approximately) the Steelers' 7th best WR.

10. Nolan United - NU owns the second-lowest aggregate score (276), but, to be fair, as we always are here in the Newsletter, NU were unlucky to lose the services of both Arian Foster to a hamstring and Peyton Hillis to a sore throat.  On the other hand, NU is quite lucky that their opponents only scored 238 points against them - the second-lowest such total, so quit the excuses.

9.  George Filopolopolous - GF is the current Willy Lowman of the Week and has only scored 281 points (third-worst) this season and is 0-3.  What gives her reprieve from a double-digit ranking is the fact that her opponents have scored 344 points against her - the fourth-highest such total.

8.  Chester Humpley - Don't let his 3-0 start fool you.  Humpley has scored only the eighth-highest total (303) this season and his opponents have only managed 232 points against him - a league low.  He also has six RB's on his bench including Toby Gerhart (6 total carries) and  C.J. Spiller (9 total carries).  That's not as funny as it is perplexing.

7.  Wicked of Lately - WL opponents have only amassed 287 points, which puts him among the top three luckiest teams.  His sixth-highest point total (323) and his 2-1 record combine to place him atop Humpley, which I think we can all agree is a place no one man wants to be.

6.  Vandaley Industries - Changing his name changed his results, at least, so far as he is this week's Stud of the Week.  His opponents have scored more points against him (353) than he has scored (321), but Run DMC has been a strong performer averaging more than 25 points per week.  Same name and same star back - look out, League, here comes the reigning champ.

5.  Knuckle Junction - Eighth place in your standings, second place in your points for, third place in your points against and number one in your hearts, Knuckle Junction.

4.  Whore Hands - WH has been blessed with fourth-luckiest points against total (299), Wes Welker and the uncanny ability to make a story from a strip club on a Wednesday night hilarious, instead of pathetic.

3.  Dunn Givashit - One thing I know for sure is that Travis Dunngivashit about these rankings.  I also know that Rob Gronkowski is murdering all other TEs this year and that Jamal Charles is not coming back.

2.  Barrister's Balls - The third-highest points for total, a first and a second round pick that only average 9.7 points each per week and a newly officer-latched car seat in the back of his Accord.  Yes, all things the Barrister Ball's own.

1.  The Big Sandwich - The only league member with a winning record that has more points against (376) than points for (370), so he is lucky in that respect.  However, it is, contrary to a popular colloquialism, better to be good than lucky, which TBS is with the highest total points through three weeks.  Also, Kenny Britt is out for the year, so missing that (average) 26.0 could be hard to replace.  It also requires TBS to do something he has yet to do this season: Change his lineup.
