Inaugural LWNN posted Power Rankings - Week 8

8.  Johnny Cool Guys are the Johnny Drool Guys
If this were a listed of rankings regarding team logos, the JCG’s would be at the top. Unfortunately the art of fantasy is not coming along as well for Coach Hazen. Last in scoring and with Hopkins as his only tradable assest, the fightin Johnnys sorely need a win on the road in Sayerville this week.

7. The return of No-dell Beckham
Coach Tanner grabbed a win this week to preserve his playoff hopes. It’s a frustrating thing to look up from 7th and see that your Points Scored is equal to the #1 seed, but here they are. They now get a chance to prove themselves while hosting those same top seeded Epps this week, but a loss could signal a shift in the WR trade market.

6. Not Twinning
The reigning LWNN Champion was the Champ-Champ before losing his Interconfrenental Title last week to the Epps. 6th may be slightly disrespectful seeing as how Coach Tad had strung together 3 straight W’s before last week, but seeing as how his championship climb began last year after a rough start, TBJ may actually prefer to be overlooked - for now.

5. Pigs get fat, Phat Cats get slaughtered
Division leader? Technically. Number 2 seed? By rule. Trending downward? It’s hard to argue. Back to back losses and losing 3 out of 5 are bad trends for the team that started 4-2. 4 straight road games will take a toll, as we saw last week when the Cats dropped their home return to the desperate Cool Guys. A big matchup vs MFF awaits this week before turning right around to rematch with Coach Hazen.

4. *flap* *flap* *flap*
Ultimately a loss, but the Bucs logged their 4th week of the last 5 of scoring 103 or more. This is a three man band (Hunt-Julio-AJ) that seems to be working for now. Flap on. (just keep the door closed)

3. Throw up the XV
A tie and a loss in the 2 weeks prior keep The Commissioners favorite team from climbing higher after their biggest win of the season. That said, a tie for first seed is promising for a team powered by the rural midwest. The Chiefs hold the key.

2. Cirlce the Wagons!
It’s halloween. The least Coach Carney could do was put on a costume. But he decided to show up as #2 as usual. Boring.

1. What the hell
Probably should stop ranking Coach Trey as the 8th team in the preseason power rankings. This hurts. Do better, coaches.

2019 LWNN Power Rankings - Week 2

Image
This was a crapfest, let’s be honest. After Week 1 brought us Monday Night madness and Game of the Year candidates, Week 2 followed up with blowouts and ratings duds. The week was not without impact however, as the undefeateds and only-defeateds were both cut in half, leaving 2 2-0’s and 2 0-2’s. Let’s see if the media is buying or selling hype after a pair of weeks. 8. Johnny Cool Guys (-3) LWNN Gameday was in the house, but the Cool Guys apparently were not. As far as regular season games go, the Johnnys have now lost 6 straight going back to last year (9 including POS game) and are winless since Week 9 of last season. The Cool Guys now have to regroup and face the other 0-2 squad. All of a sudden, this is desperation time. We know Johnny values team discipline, but he won’t want to bench AB for this one. Next: vs Knuckles 7. MFF Sixteens (- -) The Sixteens lost 5 games in route to a 2018 League With No Name Championship in 2018, when they won the League With No Name Champio...

LWNN Power Rankings - Week 1

Image
Week 1 of the 2019 season has come and gone. There were surprises all around, and the return to our classic division openers returned some quality ratings. 3 of the 4 wins involved comebacks and lead changes on Monday Night, showing once again that Commissioner Walton is a savvy schedule maker and business guru. Now that Week 2 is just 2 days away, it’s time for the first updated power rankings of the season! Take them all as fact! Reminder of the preseason rankings: 1. Tad 2. Trey 3. Hunter 4. Tanner 5. Sayer 6. Andrew 7. Dillon 8. Donald 8. Phat Cats (-1) The Cats actually had a pretty solid showing, reaching triple digits on the scoreboard and posting a top 5 scoring week in the League. Over half of that came from 2018 League With No Name Champion Dalvin Cook (23pts) and Dak Prescott (33). Unfortunately for the Cats, the rest of the skill players either crapped out or died. A decent outing for week 1, but until everyone else starts contributing, #DaksOut...

Year in Review: The Top 5 Regular Season LWNN Games of 2018 - #2

2. Bend it Like Beckham def. 15’s 100-97 (Wk 3) More proof that the 2018 15’s could only be beaten with ties on the road, or spectacular performances. Realistically, this game should’ve been a blowout in favor of the eventual champs, but Coach Tanner had some magic up his sleeve in week 3. Despite having a ragtag lineup that included LatMur filling in for the already injured 2nd round pick Dalvin Cook, Gio Bernard covering for Joe Mixon, and Marvin Jones being forced to start, MFF was in decent position to get a win and push to 2-1 on the season. However, an already struggling Zeke fumbled at the 25 yard line in the 4th quarter on what looked to be a possible touchdown run, and the door was left open for Drew Brees and co. to steal a game. Brees dove across the endzone in Atlanta to tie the game with 1:15 to go, forcing an overtime period in which he and Michael Thomas would put up another 10 fantasy points, including ANOTHER Drew Brees touchdown, as he selfishly scored on a 1st dow...
