I’m using the same preamble as last week because everything it still true… Some movement this week and everyone stayed alive in the survivor pool. I’m (still) itching to print the first check of the season, maybe we’ll see a torch or two go out next week. Let’s get on with it Commish! Show me the rankings!!!
- Drake Me Off
Doomed from the start really, having to face our highest scoring team of the week and season in Nakua Matata is no way to get back into winning ways but week 7 will find you matched up with winless Dolphins Country. This by no means is a free ride to your second win. Projections aren’t worth looking at at the moment because of some certain substitutions to come for both of you. All we need to know is if you and DC faced off every week, you’d both have the same record, 3-3. Whoever wins has a chance to be reborn. Nothing has been decided yet!
- Dolphin’s Country
A 30 spot to start things off on Thursday Night was not enough to propel you to your first win of the season. Let’s move on to week 7 already. First of all, no better matchup for you to turn things around as you face Drake Me Off. It took 8 wins to get the wild card spot in last year’s playoffs so if you start a streak from now until the end of the season, you will reach that mark. But I’m burying the lead. All signs point to CeeDee coming back this week. It’s a sign. The streak ends week 7 and the new streak begins!
- Quinshon and Friends
Your score would have only beat 1 team this week. And by virtue of the scheduling God’s you faced that team. This brought your record to a respectable 3-3 and we don’t want to talk about the ugly win let’s just talk about the future. The future is your boys against a Cobra squad that just took out our top team. But you guys match up well, just about as 50/50 a projection can get. Cobra still hasn’t learned his lesson about Jackoffery Croaking-Ferrit or whatever that piece of shit’s name is, Bob, or something. He’s trying to catch lighting in a bottle and that might be just enough for you to squeak by with a statement win against a one loss team. Good luck my boy.
- (Tie) Team TheMint1
Three spots is the biggest fall in the rankings this week as you brought home the lowest score of the week. I think your 2 players finishing in negatives is a first in the RBFFL. If it’s happened before I sure don’t remember and I feel like I will never forget this. Let’s move on to week 7 because I’m sure you want to forget week 6. You have a tough draw against Week 5 top ranked team Electric Boogaloo but this might be the best time to face them. Injuries aren’t treating him well and you’re getting healthy. Scary Terry will make his debut for your squad and hopefully get you back in the top half of the rankings.
- (Tie) Cuchillos y Gallos
Bills lose, you lose. Same old story. But to the hands of the Mighty Visitors who could blame you. You’ll have your chance at revenge in our Rivalry week showdown to end the season. Damn C’s y G’s, I just looked at the bye weeks and week 7 is going to hit you hard. In normal years it wouldn’t be a big deal against former league shit stain EbarMedia but they’re a different animal this season. Whereas they are normally a kitty in heat, presenting themselves for our taking, this year they’re more like a Lioness on the prowl to bring back the next meal to the pride. Bright side is if this is your worst bye week, it will be behind you as you fight for a playoff spot down the stretch. Keep fighting.
- Team EbarMedia
You lost a squeaker and it was your first loss since your promotion. You got cocky son. No Monday magic for you and you really need to realize that The Cowboys are going to allow 30 points pretty much every week. They have now got you negative 9 points year to date. They are the #31 defense in points of 32 teams. They are rostered and started by only 11% and 9% of CTE infected users on Sleeper, respectively. And yes, they are the true reason you lost this game, you can read more about it when you get to your opponent’s ranking. Still this strong loss gained you 2 spots in the rankings. As you should have read above, you are a heavy favorite in week 7 due to bye week decimation of Cuchillos. Let’s hope the Cowboys don’t fuck this up for you, you actually have a chance this year.
- Kekambas
I want to say big win for Kekambas but it came against snake bitten Dolphins Country as they fell for the 20th straight game over the past 2 seasons. But it was big for you none the less. Not enough to move your power ranking position as you maintained the 6 spot. But your strong point total for a third straight week shows that you’re not the old Kekambas that rely on the opponent putting up a dud… But it would certainly help you if that happened next week as you match up against an injury weakened Nakua Matata in a preview of your next meeting in our Rivalry week 14. This is really a battle of the Wide Receivers as 5 of the top 10 are on either yours or Matata’s Roster. NM is the early favorite but Sleeper projections don’t know Kekamba magic. An upset can certainly shake up these rankings.
- Dixon Yamada
DY just edged out the reborn EbarMedia. You won by a field goal being blocked on Monday night. Crazy ending to a great matchup. Even crazier that it was that close since you were our second highest scoring team of the week. You also have to think that if EbarMedia would ever start a real defense instead of the Swiss Cheese Cowboys, we’d be singing another tune right now. Every free agent Defense other than the 49ers, Dolphins, Browns or Cardinals would have flipped this game to EbarMedia. Forget week 6 let’s talk about week 7. I will come face to face with Dixon Yamada and I smell another great matchup, at least I hope that’s what I’m smelling. Projections have you at a slight edge but you don’t really think Bryce Young is getting another start for my boys do you? Let’s see what waiver magic I can come up with this week and let’s hope it’s enough to keep the Dixout of Mymada, God rest her soul.
- Marion Cobra Cobretti
Cobra took down the mighty, yet hobbled, Boogaloo. You’re the only Team that can say they’ve beat both Boogaloo and The Visitors but those two teams are the only ones who can say they’ve beat Nacua Matata. All 3 clubs have outscored you year to date and you share the same record with 2 of the 3 and that the reason we still don’t find you higher on this list. Week 7 matches you with Quinshon and Friends, their namesake has been looking good against really good teams and put up his fist stinker in week 6 against the Steelers, but I watched that game and it wasn’t that he had a bad game it was more like the Browns had no focus on running the ball. 52 passing attempts for their second rate rookie QB? Why do I go on about this? Because this week they play a Dolphins team that’s fighting amongst themselves and just allowed a nobody practice squad RB to rack up 25 points on them. This playoff rematch against my heir is going to be very interesting to keep an eye on.
- Electric Boogaloo
EB finally fell to the hands fangs of the Cobra. There are plenty of excuses to explain the loss. Gibbs was controlled by the Chiefs to the tune of only 7 points, his first single digit performance of the season. Dobbins and Franklin got London’d, we saw this a lot in the first few years of the London games but it seemed like everyone figured out how to perform across the pond. Broncos proved they were still trying to figure it out and it affected you. And of course the elephant in the room is your injuries. You survived one week without your 16 point average Bucky Irving and 12 point average Chuba Hubbard but you couldn’t survive a second. Unfortunately Chuba may not keep his starting gig after the clinic Rico Dowdle has put on in how to run with a ball in his hands. Week 7 finds you face to face to face with Jekyll and Hide, The Mint who seems to be either top or bottom 3 in scoring every week. With Bucky officially out for week 7 let’s hope that finally unsuspended Rashee Rice can get in the mix and get you back to your winning ways.
- (Tie) The Visitors
The Visitors survived their 2nd of 3 straight bye weeks for star players. They face off against a surging Dixon Yamada in week 7, hopefully the last week without, at the time of his injury, top fantasy point leader Lamar Jackson. Another win with the “weak” roster will pretty much lock in a playoff spot for the fan favorites and hopefully return the St. Oliver Memorial Trophy to it’s home.
- (Tie) Nakua Matata
Matata has finally claimed the top spot even if they have to share it. You were this week’s Top Bulldog with a score of 139. That top score has made you the first team to break the 800 point mark on the season. Even more impressive when you take into account that only 2 others are in the 700 club. Your top spot in points and breakdown are just enough to propel you to this share of 1st place in the power rankings even with the inferior record and head to head loss to The Visitors. You share that 4-2 record with your week 7 opponent, Kekambas where you are an early and slight favorite. But beware the Kekambas as they have a knack for getting top teams to lay total eggs and your injury report makes this a scary one. That said, a win could be just enough to get you this spot by yourself next week.
