This week’s highlight of the week involves a motivational message from Jameis Winston, once again. Before we get to the power rankings I want to remind you that we will have 7 playoff teams this year so only the #1 seed will earn a bye.
1.) Lin Sanity
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 101.1
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: When Patrick Mahomes goes out there and slings 5 touchdowns with complete control of the game, there is little you can do besides sit back and just admire greatness when you see it.
2.) Mahomies Deezflated Nuts
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 99.7
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: After a down year, MD Nuts came out with a strong week 1 performance and in case you missed the memo: Cooper Kupp is still that guy.
3.) Jedi Knights
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 96.3
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: 31 carries from the #1 overall pick is usually going to end up in a monster Week 1 performance and that’s exactly what you got.
4.) Doctor Jenious
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 91.1
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: This team looks incredibly stacked at the top with Justin Jefferson, Travis Kelce and Jalen Hurts all looking like they’re headed toward career years.
5.) Sacramento Wolf Pack
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 88.7
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: The Wolf Pack secured a victory Monday night after a strong Jerry Jeudy game much needed after two years banged up.
6.) SLAM BALL 2K22
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 84.8
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: With a devastating quarterback injury, SLAM BALL will now turn to free agency to address their biggest need.
7.) Da Moon’s Huge Craters
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 71.9
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: The Michael Pittman hype is real and the breakout year is coming after a 13 target game translated into 9 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown.
8.) Pool of the Dead
Overall Record: 1-0
Divisional Record: 1-0
Total Points Scored: 70.8
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: The last winning team in Week 1, the Pool of the Dead have to count their blessings after a disastrous five turnover start from Joe Burrow.
9.) Elk Grove Spartans
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 79.1
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: De’Andre Swift and Stephon Diggs had monster games and look to be the anchor for a strong team due for a bounceback in Week 2.
10.) Gandalf the Goat
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 77.2
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: Saquon Barkley looked like a brand new man in this Brian Daboll offense and finally healthy after a couple of seasons, he will be due for an elite season.
11.) Korriban Warriors
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 65.2
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: Najee Harris’ injury concern was one of the bigger Week 1 storylines but the good news is it looks minor and he will return to action soon enough.
12.) Philippines Garbage Dumps
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 63.6
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: The PGD were let down by a couple of bad wide receiver performances, but with all of that talent and high invested draft capital at the position, they are a much better team than what they showed in Week 1.
13.) How I Kmet Your Mother
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 60.1
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: The late Sunday morning scratch of JK Dobbins was a blow for HIKYM (is that the official nick name) but luckily they have some good running back depth to weather this.
14.) Uur UPS
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 54.9
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: It was a disappointing day for UPS who was primarily let down by his running back tandem of Ekeler and Elliott. While Elliott maybe harder to gauge, Ekeler will certainly see his role in that elite offense provide for great opportunity going forward.
15.) Isla Sorna Raptors
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 53.5
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: This team was another case of good roster bogged down by under-performances from a solid running back duo of Derrick Henry and Travis Etienne. Look for both players to bounce back strong in Week 2.
16.) Bruce Almightys
Overall Record: 0-1
Divisional Record: 0-1
Total Points Scored: 49.8
Position Last Week: N/A
Notes: It was just one of those Sundays where Bruce could not generate enough offense to stay afloat but the usage of players like James Conner, Joe Mixon and Terry McLaurin will keep this team competitive.
