1.) (LW #4) Rank This (!?!?!?) 3-1, 117.75 PPG [.197 NPRP]
Three weeks ago, I predicted that sixth place was the highest David Smith would rise. And you know what, I was wrong. I stand corrected.
My reaction to Dave being number one.
Last night, as of 11 PM Eastern Time, Dave was in second place. But, thanks to a big week from Drew Brees (and 1st Round Draft Pick Darren Sproles' biggest fantasy game ever), Dave put up 145 points to boost his PPG to be tied for best-in-the-league.
Now, keep in mind that the Saints have a mediocre defense and have had an easy schedule leading them to 4-0. The day that the Saints have a bad week, this team will fall. Whether that be this upcoming week against his toughest opponent yet, fellow top-PPG and comeback-of-the-year frontrunner What Would Jones Drew (my pick for game-of-the week), or in Week Seven when the Saints have their bye, I will not be ranking this at number one for long.
2.) (LW #3) Mama's Homemade Salsa 3-1, 116.75 PPG [.195 NPRP]
WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a performance that would leave even Gus Johnson speechless, Mama kept the fire in the salsa this week in the Makinson Bowl, leading to a 50-point victory in the biggest rivalry game of the year.
And what about Victor Cruz, huh? It sure seems like he's been taking salsa lessons and giving football lessons to every receiver in the league.
¡MUEY CALLIENTE!
Can he keep up the fire though? Will there be a ghost chili hangover? This upcoming week, the Salsa takes on rival Matty Smith and the collapsing Broken Clavicles who are do for an absurd, unexplainable big game. Not much time to dance for Mama, she has the Benton bowl to look forward to.
3.) (LW #1) Probation 3-1, 110.75 PPG [.185 NPRP]
Last week Curtis Smith was on top of the world. Ranking in at number one and discrediting all the disrespect the media had dished out to him. And now, he has delivered an overtime win against the Cobra commanders (if it holds up through Thursday).
Next for Curtis? He has a chance to school ninth ranked Bobby B, possibly pummeling him into dead last. Curtis just needs a shot at redemption. It isn't often that you win and drop 2 spots. We'll see if he can keep up the W's.
Curtis proving himself to the haters.
4.) (LW #7) What Would Jones Drew? 2-2, 117.75 [.169 NPRP]
THE COMEBACK! When Sean was in 9th place just 2 weeks ago, I predicted that he would soon find his way into the Top 5. AND LOOK AT HIM NOW.
Shaggy came in with a VENGEANCE against Big Papa this week, being the decisive victor with THREE players left to play.
WHOA! Sean! Leave Dad alone!
And the kid isn't ready to stop any time soon. Cashing in tied for first in points per game, he's ready to take on the title this week against top-ranked David Matthew Smith. And TRUST me, no one wants to see him ranked out of the top-5 more than Sean Brown.
5.) (LW #8) ~ Mosstradamus 2-2, 107.75 PPG [.154 NPRP]
It's hard to believe a guy who still has Fox Sports 1 analyst Randy Moss on his team is still in the Top 5, but it's hard to rule out anything when it comes to Will "The Wildcard" Brown.
Will circa 1998
And Will sure needs to saddle up this week in the wildcard game of the week. Mosstradamus takes on the now 0-4 VERSACE VERSACE. Quote me now, but one of these teams makes a playoff run. And with Will ahead my such a small margin to Lindy and Cheryl, just one slip up sends him back to the depths of the league.
6.) (LW #5) Cobra Commanders 2-2, 106.5 PPG [.152 NPRP]
Another tough week for Melinda (for now). That is, unless she calls in another favor from the Elias Sports Bureau for when she admitted the stat guy into a Chico State party in '81. But the stress is definitely getting to her.
Just last week I walked into our garage to see that my mom had laid out candles on the concrete like some fantasy football ritual. After a loss, a win via stat correction, and now and overtime loss, there's one thing Mama needs.
Mama B circa '81
But the fight of the century comes as a gift to all this week as the Queens face off.
6.) (LW #2) Kaep Happy 2-2, 106.5 PPG [.152 NPRP]
Oh, and there's more. That's not a typo, both Lindy and Cheryl and EXACTLY tied in PPG, record, and power rank coming into this matchup.
The Captain's League ALWAYS follows the Bro Code.
Despite Mama B's stress levels may be high, but cheryl may need the win more. Since being ranked number one, Cheryl has suffered two straight losses, and by averaging only 88.5 points in those game. Kaep needs to rally the troops this weeks, because it's going to be a barn-burner.
8.) (LW #6) Broken Clavicels 2-2, 92.25 PPG [.136 NPRP]
Matt almost pulled a historic upset this past weekend against his father, but was once again spanked in the end. And, while he is in 8th place now, he still has room to drop, especially if...
Matthews/Smith/Floyd goes down!
But no! There were flashes of brilliance from this team that had not ever been seen. Is Matt's team catching fire? Will they put up points from here on out? Or was it just a flash in the pan that won't amount to anything? We'll find out in the BENTON BOWL.
9.) (LW #9) Insane Clown Posse 1-3, 90 PPG [.107 NPRP]
In another tough loss this week, Papa B lost to his eldest son. And, while he is still looking to make moves on the waiver wire to turn his season around, is it to late for his squad?
The return of Eddie Lacy might help, And perhaps he makes a big upset this weekend against the impressive Curtis Smith, and team Probation. And aptly-suited name considering that Papa B is now on probation after starting an INACTIVE STARTER.
Maybe he has his head in the clouds, or maybe it's somewhere else...
10.) (LW #10) VERSACE VERSACE 0-4, 78.25 PPG [.075 NPRP]
I usually don't write a whole lot down here. It's a tough spot to write about. I don't like putting people in pain. And I'm continuing that this week.
In the 1993 AFC Wildcard game the Buffalo Bills fell behind 35-3 to the Houston Oilers, and rallied from 32 points down to win in overtime. What am I saying?
COMEBACK TIME BABYYYYYYYYY
Corey "The Comeback Kid" Hewett nevers stays down for long. And they say the man who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous. And OHHHH BOY, this kid is dangerous. Believe it or not, he's got a good team. It's a strong team that has thus-far underperformed. And, while he has the lowest PG thus far, he has played the team who scored at least the second most points twice in four weeks. He has also played opponents on their season-high days three times.
That won't stick all year long, and it especially won't stick against a Mosstradamus team with RG3 on bye, Dez Bryant locked down by champ Bailey, and Randy STILL on a bye. THE COMEBACK STARTS NOW.
