3 of the 4 teams from the Leaders division storm up the rankings after defeating 3 of the 4 teams from the Victors division. 2 huge pieces of running back news may spell trouble for the top 2 teams in our power rankings this week.
Week 6 ranking: 5 (▲4)
Ronnie's Squad started the Leaders division rolling of the Victors division. Ronnie's Squad scored 100.64 points against The Gold Standard who scored 79.74 points, despite having 4 of their top players out due to bye (Jalen Hurts, Stefon Diggs, Justin Jefferson or AJ Brown.) Looking ahead, Ronnie's Squad received some bad news to their already depleted running back room, as IR stash Elijah Mitchell (SF RB), just lost his starting job in the NFL, when the San Francisco 49ers traded for running back Christian McCaffrey.
Week 6 ranking: 2 ◄►
For the first time this season, ThatManAgain.... takes the #1 spot in the league. Posting the most points last week, it didn't matter who they played but they did dispatch the best performing expansion team I'll Fuck Your Dad 163.14-100.06. Led by Joe Burrow (45.24 pts.) and Josh Jacobs (35 pts.), ThatManAgain.... had a strong performance from everyone from all of the starters except Kyle Pitts and DK Metcalf who ended the 1st quarter with a knee injury. TMA received crushing news as 2022's 1.01 Breece Hall went down with a season-ending injury.
Week 6 ranking: 1 (▼2)
TD Do You Love Me takes over the Victors Division, being the only team in their division to win. TDDYLM beat expansion team AbeFroman, despite trading away Alvin Kamara to AbeFroman earlier this year. With Week 7's top performers Patrick Mahomes & Austin Ekeler on bye, TDDYLM will need some solid performances from their starters to defeat Team_MAGA.
Week 6 ranking: 3 (▼1)
With SINCERE's Team's second straight loss, this time to Shawn Brady, the once invincible team is starting to show some holes in their armor. It was a perfect storm for Shawn Brady to win, as SINCERE's Team had several starters out on a bye or out due to injury. Having a full roster this week against I'll Fuck Your Dad should give SINCERE's Team an easy win, as they are projected to outscore IFYD by 30 points.
Week 6 ranking: 4 (▼1)
Another win, another week HDB drops in our Power Ranking. It's not really their fault, but losing JK Dobbins to injury and Clyde Edwards-Helaire to bye, HDB isn't projected to have a good week from their running game. This hasn't been any concern for them this entire season as HDB is led by Lamar Jackson and Ja'Marr Chase, 2 Top 5 players at their respective positions. HDB has expansion team BUE this week, so losing JK and CEH shouldn't effect the projected outcome.
Week 6 ranking: 8 (▲2)
After the crushing defeat last week, Julio Think You Are? I Am! coasted to an easy win over expansion team BUE. Despite having only 2 wins this year, JTYAIA still has to be considered one of the top teams due to the strength of their roster. In the featured Game of the Week, a rematch of Hyphy Bowl III, JTYAIA will take on #1 ThatManAgain.... looks to be the highest scoring game. If JTYAIA can secure a win this week, they will find a home in the Top 5 of our Power Rankings.
7. SexySandwich
Week 6 ranking: 6 (▼1)
Posting the 2nd highest score last week (137.08), SexySandwich made quick work of The 37th Chamber. Huge games from Daniel Jones and Tyler Boyd supplemented Darren Waller's 0-spot. With this win, SS has put 2 games between them and Team_MAGA. In the Heroes division, SexySandwich is #2 overall, but #1 in Points For. If that's any indication how the rest of the season will go, it looks like SexySandwich has a good chance of making the playoffs.
8. Shawn Brady
Week 6 ranking: 11 (▲3)
Shawn Brady lucked out and faced powerhouse SINCERE's Team, when a few of their stars were on bye or injured. With no QB2, SINCERE's Team had no startable answer for the QB position. This gave Shawn Brady enough of a cushion to win, even though Shawn Brady was missing several starters as well. Shawn Brady is currently 2nd in the Leaders division, but with the strongest expansion team in their division (AbeFroman) and Julio Think You Are? I Am! dropping a few games early in the season, the standings might be very volatile in the next few weeks.
9. Team_MAGA
Week 6 ranking: 7 (▼2)
TEAM_MAGA surprisingly lost to the winless JonLegends last week. It was a perfect storm of Team_MAGA underperforming and JonLegends vastly overperforming. With this loss, Team_MAGA drops another game behind #2 in the Heroes division (SexySandwich). Going up against TD Do You Love Me and SINCERE's Team in the next two weeks, it will be hard to make up some ground in the playoff race.
Week 6 ranking: 9 (▼1)
Subject to Change suffered a tough loss to HDB, because of their lack of depth. With several players out on bye, STC had to make some waiver adds and play the guessing game on who to start. Sufficient to say, Subject to Change unfortunately chose the wrong players to start. With The 37th Chamber also losing, Subject to Change stays at #2 in the Legends division. Looking ahead, STC faces Shawn Brady which should be an easy win.
11. AbeFroman
Week 6 ranking: 11 (▼1)
4-3 AbeFroman is the best performing expansion team this year. As a 70% favorite going in to Week 8's matchup against The 37th Chamber, let's see if AbeFroman will improve to 5-3. Looking ahead AbeFroman's starters have almost all had their byes, except team RB1 Alvin Kamara. Unfortunately Kamara and wild card Taysom Hill will both be out near the end of the playoff race (Week 14.) Hopefully, AbeFroman can get a few wins before then so that their playoff berth doesn't rely on a Week 14 win.
12. The 37th Chamber
Week 6 ranking: 12 ◄►
Going in to Halloween weekend, it looks like The 37th Chamber is in ready for the festivities. The 37th Chamber is a classic case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Through the first 4 weeks, they were undefeated. Through the next 3 weeks they are completely defeated. With a Mike Williams out this week and a projected score lower than their opponent (AbeFroman) this week, hopefully 37C is a little more Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll.
Week 6 ranking: 13 ◄►
I'll Fuck Your Dad had a tough matchup, going up against 1st place ThatManAgain.... last week. IFYD performed admirably scoring more points than The 37th Chamber, but not enough for us to bump up IFYD to #12. IFYD is going up against another strong team, SINCERE's Team, this week. Let's see if IFYD can make up any ground on 37C this week.
Week 6 ranking: 14 ◄►
The Gold Standard could not recapture the magic of a surprising upset two weeks in a row, as they lost to 4th place Ronnie's Squad. TGS would have beat 4 other teams this week, and 1 of those teams is BUE, so we can't see moving TGS below BUE this week. The Gold Standard's season rides on the back of Tua, Tyreek and Waddle. As long as they can stay healthy, TGS's season has the potential to improve. With a revival of Juju's career in KC, and rookie WR Wan'Dale taking the lead in New York, TGS is living up to the Wide Receiver factory they have been known to be each season. Although it might be too late in the season to catch SINCERE's Team or TD Do You Love Me, a full starting lineup from The Gold Standard looks to be strong next year.
15. BUE
Week 6 ranking: 15 ◄►
BUE couldn't hand Julio Think You Are? I Am! a 2nd straight loss to a sub-#13 Power Ranked team. BUE really felt the lack of depth due to injuries and byes as they could only score 54.64 points with a majority of their players scoring in the single-digits. BUE's outlook next week looks better, as they are getting several starters back and face-off against Horsedick boy'z who have their own injuries to address.
16. JonLegends
Week 6 ranking: 16 ◄►
JonLegends has done it! They have won their first game of the year and no longer have to sit underneath the proverbial beer pong table for trolling this season. It came against Team_MAGA who had some starters out due to injury or bye, but a win is a win! Although it's unlikely, let's see if JonLegends can parlay this win in to another against Ronnie's Squad.
Week 8 in the NFL and the SBHL is looking very different than how many thought it would. With the league expanding to 16-teams, everyone's depth is being tested with byes and injuries. The divisions are settling out a little more as the playoff pictures are starting to form. With 6 more weeks, anything can happen.
