A lot has changed in the fantasy landscape since the first TSR dynasty rankings were published August 7th. After winning the offseason championship, Nik would like a re-draft, as the top half of his team has been slaughtered by injury. Here’s how the teams stack up heading into week 2:
#10 – Homerun Darby aka Linkage (–)
Another rough week in a loss to Archer leaves Link at the bottom of the barrel. This week he played the Baltimore defense that ended up getting him -1 point and then there’s the dissatisfied Jimmy Graham out in Seattle, netting him less than 3 points on the week. This week he has the pleasure of playing me, so here’s his chance for revenge.
#9 – CJ&CJ Atty’s at Ball aka EJ (down 1 spot)
I don’t know what else to tell you man. I had pretty high hopes for this squad too, but to this point they just aren’t keeping up their end of the bargain. CJ could have been left in the #8 spot for what was actually a pretty strong performance, but he looks like he may have a real running back problem on his hands. Plus the guy I moved to #8 was the one that beat him. This week he is highly favored against Suh Happy, so there is hope yet.
#8 – Down with ODB aka nikvoodoo (up 1 spot)
Truly incredible considering his losses that he was still able to put almost 150 points up on the board and get a win this week. Larry Fitz put up 40 points trying to become the early steal of the year as everyone and their raat were under the impression that his career was basically finished. Half his team played last night in this week’s matchup with hooded and it’s still up for grabs across the board.
#7 – Manning Face aka Archer (–)
Mr. Archer squeaked out a narrow win over our #10 ranked friend Link. Mostly due to bad Luck. Luck through the first couple games of the season has looked nothing like he did the first few years in the league, where he was a monster fantasy QB option. Luck-y for Archer, this is a dynasty league. He’s got a tough matchup with Thumbs the bully this week.
#6 – Tuck a Buck Express aka Slick (down 2 spots)
Not a great matchup for Slick as any TDs that Gronk got, Brady got for his opponent. Other than Gronk and Rodgers his skills position players largely underwhelmed this week. Amari Cooper on the bench could have been helpful. This week he matches up against the Dezless iyced.
#5 – Belichick Yo’self aka Nossorc (–)
As mentioned above Tom Brady this week carried the load of the team. Even with a solid 0.00 pt outing from Mike Evans the team was able to rally and pull off the win. Demarco Murray just decided to pull his hammy in practice, so that may be an issue this weekend (what a cop-out). Matchup with Mr. Darby this weekend.
#4 – Suh Happy aka FinFan (down 1 spot)
Oh so now Keenan Allen doesn’t want to chase the single-game receiving record, greeatttt timing. After a huge week 1, Fin’s squad retreated mightily putting up the lowest score of the week. He left a ton of points on the bench this week that could have been the difference. Small slide in the rankings for now, but there better be a bounce back week coming against CJ.
#3 – Its Deztiny aka Gene Hackman (up 3 spots)
Iyced’s team didn’t light the world on fire this week, but they limped along to a win vs. the low score of the week. One week at a time. Steve Smith continues to defy time and produce as an undersized, old WR with an inaccurate QB and weak offense. Amazin’. Good ol’ Vinny up next.
#2 – Pimpin Ain’t Easley aka Hooded (–)
Highly anticipated coming into this matchup, Hooded fell flatttt. Probably could slide him down the rankings, but that would take effort so he gets to stay for the week. He faces off with the IR squad this week, but just like me got caught in the Matt Jones trap.
#1 – ThumbCrushers aka Luciano (–)
Thumbs won, so he gets to keep his throne for the time being, but it didn’t come without sacrifice as he lost several key team members to injury, including Tony Romo. This week’s performance could change the rankings landscape. He’s a heavy favorite against Archer.
