Daren’s Week 12 Power Rankings
Well here we are, the last PR before the bubble. Two weeks of the regular season left to go with a ton on the line.
12. Connor Party (4-8)
Another no show with empty spots for players. The division lead lost as well is pretty rough. A push at the end is always possible but there's gotta be some motion to get that ball rolling.
11. Crazy Train (3-9)
A loss with an unimpressive day from starters. D’Andre Swift looks to continue being a no show giving up most reps. Chance for him to still be the passing back but with little RB depth beyond Walker it might be the time of the year to play spoiler. All is not lost though, Sausage division is very much still up for grabs.
10. Team Suspension (4-8)
The loss of Cooper Kupp is really setting in with the lack of a dynamic scorer starting to affect weekly points. The lowest PF in the league at 1088.4 leaves a lot to be desired, and the lack of Hopkins this week is a huge blow. Seem’s a long shot to win this week but crazier things happen, Tua all the way to an upset!
9.Make Fantasy Great Again (4-8)
Yeah, 45 points from one player makes fantasy great for sure. Coming off Jacobs heel is a nice division win where every one matters down the line. If Jacob’s plays this week I expect him to be a huge factor whether it's for the win or a no show to a loss. This team has good scoring potential going into what will be a pivotal matchup.
8. Kittle bit of CHAOS (4-8)
The best team in the Sausage division is a tough one to place but with a roster like this It's a great shot for taking it. Solid starters coming off a high scoring win is a good place to be, Chubb and Jones had good days and Herbert looks back in peak form. I expect the winner of this week’s game to most likely take 1st.
7. I’m Really Feeling It! (6-6)
Huge division win last week from a whole team contribution. It’s nice to know Sanders is alive though he hits a tough matchup next week against the Titans. I like this team's roster and dont see alot of holes though it's definitely week to week with the Cowboys via the Pollard Zeke dynamic. As the only 6-6 team in a dogfight of a division a lot of luck is needed for a shot at the postseason. Playing spoiler at least is still pretty sweet.
6. San Diego State Fightin Araizas (8-4)
Still tied for the second best record in the league is fine coming off a major loss to a division rival. Dan’s team is very receiver dependent and some weeks it’s not there. With the top team in the league this week it's an uphill battle. Finishing strong to get the upset and make the playoffs is gonna take some real Kirk Cousins magic. Kir magic or a Cousins crusade perhaps? I don't know, really doesn’t roll off the tongue.
5. Baker’s Dozen (7-5)
Though I’m coming off a huge win I place myself here as the outside looking in sort of team. 6 through 3 could really be in any order where the only deciding factor is who wins out. With a strong lineup I have a good chance but it's gotta be in the cards and some weeks the luck has been lacking. A Lot of improvement has been made since the season started with my waiver line adds (and Jamaal Williams) paving the way. This week really feels like a win or go home situation again.
4. Koo Koo Ka Choo (7-5)
With a huge statement win Kansas City and friends keep chugging along fighting for the last few playoff spots. The roster has grown a lot on me throughout the season and Mahomes always finds a way to get things done. With a good looking matchup this week playoffs seem within easy reach, maybe even 1st in the division with some luck.
3. *TeamName Redacted* (7-5)
All hail Josh Allen! He’s coming back into form just in time for a big Thursday night game against the Pats. Big win last week to keep the playoffs in reach, and another tough matchup with Kenny this week to keep the party going. This team is dangerous going forward and is still my sleeper pick to win it all. Nothing has changed since my last PR in week 4, this team is good but Josh Allen is great.
2. It Just Means Moore (8-4)
Jalen Hurts is still the guy but last week just wasn’t there for the rest of the squad. Shake it off, this team is absolutely stacked for the playoffs. This week though is a huge bye week with alot of key players being out, even with that it's hard to write of Barkley and McCaffrey alongside Hurts. Should be a close one for this week's matchup.
1. Wilson’s Cougar Hunters (10-2)
The best team in the league, with the only losses being to your’s truly. Mike White deserved to be at the top of this PR so I made sure he made the number one spot along with the best record in the league. Winning the division feels like a shoe in at this point. Getting a first round advantage in the playoffs is a win away. While I don’t feel this is the best roster in the league it’s found a way to get to 10-2 and is primed for a deep playoff run. Another tough divisional matchup this week leaves just the chance to do so.
