"It might sound crazy ranking the Scumdogs above Delta Squad, but there is some logic to this madness. 

First, the Scumdogs have a HUGE lead for #1 in PF being 30 points over second place and being the only team to have a PF above 900. 

Second, about a quarter of the teams in the league have yet to match or exceed a weekly performance of the 'dogs worst week on the season (124 points). 

Third, this team just made a huge trade to acquire Aaron Jones and Tyreek Hill, and I believe those two players should push this team over the edge for the second half of the season. 

Fourth, and probably most important, on what grrouchie has called a 'down week filled with bad start/sit decisions', this team scored 2 points less than the leading scorer on the week and had a max potential points of 198.

This team is dangerously scary, and they are hungry for that repeat ship."

"It's unfortunate that Dirty Mike lost this week because they put up a performance that would have won against 80% of the league. Unfortunately, and I hate to be that guy, but there are some major questions about this team and if they can continue to perform at such a high level. 

Losing Godwin for the season is going to hurt, as he was the WR #2 on the season so far, AND he was a major reason why Baker was performing so well. The other major reason why Baker was balling out, Mike Evans, is also out for multiple weeks, which makes starting Baker a huge risk going forward. 

Tank Bigsby looks really good on the field, but will he continue to get the volume once Etienne is back from injury? 

Relying on 3 Falcons every week is a very scary thought, especially with Kirk looking less than stellar the last few weeks.

Finally, there's the scare of when, not if, JK Two-Legs will hit the edge of the cliff and just plummet to fantasy doom.

I hope HartyPGA proves me wrong, because this team is fun to watch week in and week out."

"Shiva didn't have the best week ever, but they still got the win. Helps that jwv7244 was playing against a team that should be viewed as an automatic win. The important thing to realize with this ranking is the upside this roster has.

Let's start with players that were already on the roster before their big move. Henry might be the RB1 by end of season as he is playing at a level that makes me think there's a constant blizzard happening in Vermont year round. KenBone Walker is the perfect RB2 for this team as he has such a safe floor from a volume perspective with weekly RB1 upside. Between Stroud and Nix, it's very hard to see a world where the QB position fails this team again (assuming good start/sit decisions are made). CeeDee should be a locked in top 5 WR rest of season if last year is anything to go off of. Zay Flowers looked like he was becoming that dude for the Ravens offense before he got hurt, and should continue to perform admirably for Shiva.

Now let's talk about some moves that were made during the season. Despite jwv7244's complaints, I do think the acquisition of Kelce is a very important move for this roster. Eventually, Zach Ertz will fall off the cliff, and Kelce will be there to pick up the slack. While it wasn't a great outcome last week, Kelce had 5 targets when he spent most of the game run blocking and facing a pretty stout 49ers defense, and that should be the baseline for targets Kelce will see every week. The more important acquisition was probably Terry McLaurin, who looks to be an absolute STUD now that he has a good QB and an above average system surrounding him. Even without a TD, without Daniels throwing him the ball, and in a game where he probably wasn't on the field for much of the second half, Terry still put up very respectable numbers. "

"Oh boy, this is probably close to danger zone for the Tater Tots. This starting roster was just full of disappointment after disappointment, and it's hard to tell if this was a one off week or the new norm for these players.

First, let's get the big one out of the way - while he wasn't very good for fantasy so far on the year, losing Aiyuk for the season is going to be devastating for this roster. Aiyuk had WR1 upside every week and was on the field A TON. Get well soon.

While Javonte Williams had a very good game for Michael Scott's Tots, it's hard to imagine a world where a roster with this much on the field talent was mostly outshined by a borderline washed RB. Here's the nail on the coffin: Javonte outscored Kamara, Devonta Smith, Dell, Smith-Njigba, and Ekler COMBINED with plenty of room to spare.

The sad part is Michael Scott's Tots absolutely could have won the week if they made some different start/sit decisions as a lot of points were left on the bench (Pickens with Russ and Njoku with Jameis comes to mind)."

"ScotchnWhiskers, I'm so sorry for your loss this week. You put up a performance that absolutely should have won you the week, and likely would have if the schedule was different. Sadly, life is cruel and a lot of times bad things happen to good people/teams just because.

This team has A LOT of pieces that could prove to be extremely useful for an accelerated rebuild, and this week's performance shows it.

Ray Davis looks awesome and should be part of a 1-2 RB punch for Buffalo for a while. Richard White is in a position to volume his way to a top performance again (re-earning the name 'Rachaad White'), and that might be enough to guarantee a contract somewhere for next year. The Hurts/Brown stack is deadly and should be great for a few more years at least. Waddle should return to WR2 with WR1 upside form now that Tua is healthy again. Keaton Mitchell is coming back from PUP and might steal the backup/change of pace role away from Justice Hill on an extremely high powered offense. Oh, and that Caleb Williams guy looks to be finally living up to the #1 overall pick status.

Here's the cherry on top, ScotchnWhiskers has 4 1st round picks in next year's draft, and at least 2 of them are projecting to be top 6 picks. 2024 might be a long shot for this roster still, but they might be monsters in 2025 or 2026."

"Fuzzy officially waved the white flag and started moving pieces and looking to the future as their 2024 season is over. On the plus side, a WR room of Nabers and Puka is a great starting point for a rebuild, assuming Puka doesn't break again next season.

Now is the time to see what Fuzzy has in some of their younger talent. Can Hockenson come back from his injury and produce? Is Cade Otton actually a reliable TE or is he just a product of circumstance? Can Jaylen Warren play his way into another contract over the second half of the season? Is Cedric Tillman a startable flex option or a bust of a pick? Can Estime or Tucker play their way onto the field or are they career backup RBs? Lots of questions need to be answered about this roster, and it should make for an interesting second half of the season for this team."
