Week 9 LOTHG Power Rankings

The power rankings from the world's greatest shit posting fantasy football league.

12. Great Odin's Raven (1-8)

This team is so terrible that it can't even beat the record I set for most losses in a row. Frank deserves some credit for throwing the towel in early though and dealing for picks - especially compared to many of the franchises in the league that lied to themselves about having a shot at the playoffs. Which brings us to our next team...

11. The Villain Club (3-6)

Dede Westbrook and Ed Dickson are currently in this team's starting line up. Eh, no worries though, I'm sure Basile made some moves for picks.... Wait, where is the second rounder? And fifth? And sixth? This team was either way too optimistic for too long, or it realized early on it never had any players to sell. They're the equivalent of the 2017 New York Jets. Could have cashed in early for the better draft, but noooo, win a few to put yourself in a tougher situation for 2018.

10. Gridiron Einstein (3-6)

After a strong start to the season, Chris' franchise continues to stumble as we head into the race for the playoffs. There's maybe one thing Chris has gotten right this year - Tikki Masala (and it's much tastier cousin Butter Chicken) is a 100 times better than anything you can order at a standard Chinese food place.

9. Something Clever (4-5)

If Kevin has absolutely any playoff hopes left, they were officially killed off by the Burrito this week. This dude's team has been an overachieving dumpster fire for weeks (a Jet WR is your best starting player) but he's stocked up on so many draft picks that it's impossible to hate. If this was a power ranking going into the draft, he'd be #1.

8. Murder Boner (5-4)

Above is found footage of Joe trading away all of his picks, and therefore his future. He will very likely still make the playoffs because of our weird tie breaker rules... but that will depend on how he does against Taco.

7. Full Blownsies (5-4)

Above is footage of Tim's teaching methods.

With a key win over The Villain Club, Tim could really set the stage for a strong playoff run by beating the McGibblets this week. Cameron Brate stumbled this week, but is a top TE in the league (trust me, I know TEs) - the only gap I see is at RB2. Sadly, Tim's playoff fate is tied to the volume of touches Matt Forte gets (not many by end of season).

6. gggggggggggggggg (5-4)

Jay Ajayi finally got a touchdown this season and so there's a glimmer of hope for making the playoffs. Maybe if Keenan Allen would wake the fuck up I wouldn't be in this situation. Also maybe, if Hundley would check down to Montgomery every once in a while, this team wouldn't be trending downward so quickly. Save me Ajayi.

5. Purple Parrots (5-4)

Why does this team keep losing? Boom or bust each week... the starting line up is solid across the board, but there's just a lack of consistency with the RBs. Melvin Gordon returning from the bye week should help Pete cruise into the playoffs.

4. Password is Burrito (5-4)

Footage of Taco piecing together the Zeke legal updates

I wonder if Taco has gotten his law degree yet while following the Zeke case. Team should make it, as long as Zeke keeps playing.

I think the match up between Clearly and Taco is the biggest of the week for who will ultimately make the playoffs.

3. The McGibblets (6-3)

Huge win over Pete this week. Only gap in this team is the management decisions at RB2 for Danny. AP on the bench this past week? Whoops. Mixon on the bench 2 weeks ago? Whoops. Who ever Danny chooses to be his RB2 this week, bet on one of his bench RBs to outscore him.

2. Kibbles and Vick (6-3)

Highest score of the week. Marquise Lee starting in the flex. A waiver wire pick up and start with Damien Williams. Is Ant managing his team well, or just getting extremely lucky? Dude even has all of his draft picks still. Regardless of whether it's skill or luck, he's on the upswing as Gronk returns from his bye.

1. Haters Gunna Hate

Footage of Sal jerking to his team

Of course Sal is number one. He has to be. Sal has the best team in the league with the healthy Todd Gurley, the never would be suspended for any reason whatsoever Julio Jones and the consistently targeted over any other WR option in NE Brandin Cooks. I can't imagine TJ Yeldon taking over in Jacksonville, so he should be set with Fournette too. Even Jimmy Graham is doing well - dude has the strongest ankles. Amazing ankles. Good luck!
