Rankings and Article by RJ Dechow

6 games into the season, I think we can all agree on one thing so far... the Broncos DO NOT deserve to play on a primetime game again this season (or ever). With that out of the way, let’s dive into the rankings below.
12. Make Fantasy Great Again (1-5) Last Week: #12
Unfortunately, I don’t believe that you will be making Fantasy Great Again this year Ethan ☹. You have had some bad injury luck with Patterson and Prescott both going out for extended periods but unfortunately, underwhelming draft picks have also contributed to your record so far (Harris and McLaurin). Jacobs was a good value pickup but I’m just not seeing a big turnaround on the horizon. Maybe next year!
11. Team Suspension (2-4) Last Week: #9
What has happened the last 3 weeks? Coming out of the division games, you were 2-1! Now, 2-4 is not what we had in mind. Maybe losing to Kenny sapped Kaelan of his power? This team still has the ability to post high point totals with the 3-headed beast that is Kupp, Kamara, and Higgins but only if Kamara realizes his potential and Higgins stays on the field. Depth is an issue here going forward so continue making those waiver claims and trades until you can’t! But next time... don’t pick up Matt Ryan.
10. Crazy Train (1-5) Last Week: #11
So you took the bet, eh? And how did that turn out for you, eh? Benching Murray for Thompson seemed like a good story... until you lost by 8 points and would’ve won by two if you had put in Murray instead. Oof, that one is going to hurt. HOWEVER. Swift coming back and Walker taking over RB1 in Seattle means this team is getting stronger at the best time. Could pull off an upset or two if he doesn’t get tricked and puts Thompson in again
9. Kittle bit of CHAOS (2-4) Last Week: #10
Good solid win last week! And now with Allen (hopefully) returning this week, your WR room has decent depth again. Chubb and Jones is a great 1-2 punch at RB and trading Hopkins for Singletary gives you breathing room with bye weeks coming up. I do think this is a sleeper team and Aaron through trades and waiver claims is doing his best to get the most out of his team. It’s working so far, and I think he’ll pull a few upsets along the way and maybe, just maybe, sneak into the playoffs through his division.
8. Conner Party (4-2) Last Week: #5
What? You’re putting the 2nd best record and the 2nd best points scored in 8th place? What are you doing man? I could ask that same question to Jared and his management of his team. WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN!?!??!?! ARE YOU GOING TO PISS AWAY THE TALENTS OF LAMAR, TAYLOR, ANDREWS, HALL, AND OTHERS BY NOT CHANGING YOUR LINEUP!?!?! On paper, this is the strongest team in the league. Hands down. But if you don’t change your lineups when players are injured or on bye weeks, you will lose games that you should win (one already and very nearly one last week). And I think that might cost you the playoffs.
7. Baker’s Dozen (3-3) Last Week: #8
This team is on the edge. I could see them continuing to make a run into the playoffs behind the explosiveness of Hill and Henry. I could also see this team faltering with Geno Smith leading the team at QB and a lack of depth at the RB position, especially with Akers running aground with Los Angeles. A .500 record with a middling PF number is not going to propel this team far. Also, what a kick to the balls with Monday night. I probably would’ve cried myself to sleep if I’m being honest.
6. San Diego State Fightin Araizas (3-3) Last Week: #7
I would kill to have this team’s WR depth. Chase, Adams, and Brown are all capable of putting up 25-point weeks which can keep this team alive every week. It also helps make up for a lack of RB depth (maybe if Gordon gets unbenched but who knows with the dumpster fire that is the Broncos). Dan always seems to have a team capable of leading the league in scoring every week, but he has trouble racking up the wins. Can he change the narrative this year? Maybe.
5. Koo Koo Ka Choo (3-3) Last Week: #3
Of all the 3-3 teams, I think this one has probably the weakest depth. Of all the 3-3 teams, this team also has the two best players capable of scoring 60 points between the two of them. With both Mahomes and Kelce, you can’t count this team out against any upcoming team. But you also need them to show out, which can be a tall ask week-to-week. You know which team faces Choo when those two players are on a bye??? Hint, it’s the next team in the rankings.
4. I’m Really Feeling It! (3-3) Last Week: #6
Ok, I’ll admit I was slightly wrong about Jeff Wilson. He’s been pretty good for you since you picked him up and worst case, he’ll still be starting for the next 4-6 games until Mitchell comes back. Otherwise, the RB depth is solid though I do have either injury concerns/production with Cook, Elliot, and Sanders. You might need Cook’s handcuff, just saying 😊
3. Wilson’s Cougar Hunters (5-1) Last Week: #2
Screw Wilson. Both of them. You both are now off my team. Thankfully, their horrid play hasn’t hurt my ability to go 5-1 (albeit with some definite luck) and leading the division by 2 games (essentially 3 over Al and Dan with the head-to-head matchups). Also, I’m liking the two trades that I pulled off as well as picking Butker off the waiver wire. Now if only they could play QB...
2. It Just Means Moore (5-1) Last Week: #1
Love, love, love the RB depth here. Pickens’ stock is going higher and Robinson is back too. Davis is a boom/bust guy but the boom goes BOOM. Losing Brown does hurt the WR depth so hopefully Moore can finally get going. If he does, this is the team to beat.
1. *TeamName Redacted* (4-2) Last Week: #2
Or is it??? Look, the RB depth isn’t as deep as Kenny’s but Etienne could be on the rise and Ekeler is a top 3 RB now. The difference here is with Josh Allen who is making a case to be the #1 draft pick next year because why not? His WR depth is also deeper than Kenny’s with Evans, St. Brown, Olave, and Thielen. The next 3 games are going to tell a lot about this team. This team might also have the “luck” factor this year as pulling off that comeback on MNF was legendary, even though the refs probably did grant Ekeler an extra yard, and you the win.
Game of the Week
Koo Koo Ka Choo vs. Baker’s Dozen
I’m feeling that one of these teams will be a wild-card team and this could be a tiebreaker between the two. Keep your eyes on this one. Give me Baker’s Dozen by 10.
Upset Alert!
It Just Means Moore vs. Kittle bit of Chaos
Yeah, yeah Hurts is out which doesn’t help Kenny. But I’m bullish on Aaron’s team to make a run. If it happens, it starts here. Kittle by 4.5
Yawn Game
Team Suspension vs. Crazy Train
Yawn. Train by 5.5
The Other Games
Wilson’s Cougar Hunters vs Conner Party
This game could be the game of the week. However, with Jared not setting his lineup, only half of this matchup cares sadly. Jared, please set your lineup if anyone on your team is out! Please!!! Conner by 14.5 if he sets his lineup. Conner by 1.5 if he doesn’t.
*TeamName Redacted* vs. Fightin Araizas
Another game that could have tiebreaker implications for the playoffs. Redacted by 6.5
I’m Really Feeling It! Vs. Make Fantasy Great Again
Dak’s return from injury will be much watched. Otherwise, it’ll be a blowout. Feeling It! by 15
Thanks for reading and good luck this week!
