With just 3 regular season weeks to go, the playoff picture is slowly coming into focus.

Despite going for it with a very splashy deal for Keenan Allen, Leonard Fournette and Austin Hooper, Tornado Rodgers (6-4) suffered a brutal loss to The Pissahs (4-6), falling out of the Mints division lead.

Check out this FREEZING cold take from the Week 10 rankings:

INSERT WITTY NAME (7-2) celebrates their bye week into Week 11 as 41 point favorites against Burke’s squad (0-9).

Yikes! With Jared Goff, Saquon Barkley and Ezekiel Elliott combining for a whopping 15 fantasy points, INSERT WITTY NAME (7-3) suffered the most surprising loss of the season to Burke’s squad (1-9). This gives the MerryMount MadMen (9-0-1) a virtually insurmountable 3 game lead for the overall regular season championship.

The Bizz Dawgs (7-3) leaped over Tornado Rodgers to claim the Mints division lead thanks to a 118-84 drubbing of the Fortunate Fools (5-5), who went into Sunday as 19 point favorites. The Fools need a 2-1 or 3-0 finish to keep their playoff hopes afloat. Now for the updated league tiers:

Contenders:
Merrymount MadMen (9-0-1)
Dartmouth Drunks (6-4)
INSERT WITTY NAME (7-3)
Bizz Dawgs (7-3)
IR or In Jail (6-3-1)

Undercover Trash:
Tornado Rodgers (6-4)
Yang Bucks (6-4)
Fortunate Fools (5-5)

Participation Trophy Winners:
kicking butker (4-6)
The Pissahs (4-6)

See you in 2020:
Boston Robstahs (3-7)
M.F. Lunchables (3-7)
Easton Yard Sale (2-8)
Burke’s Squad (1-9)

Here are the Week 11 Power Rankings:

The Drunks still lead the way, while the 8th place Fools seem poised to live up to their team name with good fortune down the stretch. Week 11 features SEVERAL pivotal matchups:

Yang Bucks (6-4) is back in the race in the Mints division just 1 game back of the Bizz Dawgs – each team at the top of Mints has a brutal schedule, so it’s wide open. For Yang Bucks to win their “freedom dividend” this winter, they first need to overcome those Fortunate Fools (5-5) in Week 11. The Fools draw Easton Yard Sale (2-8) and Tornado Rodgers (6-4) following this game. Right now, the Fools are massive 25 point favorites.

INSERT WITTY NAME (7-3) looks to solidify their playoff chances against kicking butker (4-6). They are currently 16 point favorites, but our butker beat reporter informs us that one of Marquise Brown, Deebo Samuel, DeVante Parker or Auden Tate is prepared to fill in for Tyler Lockett on his week off to close the gap. kicking butker looks to play spoiler at this stage.

Dartmouth Drunks (6-4) plays Burke’s Squad (1-9) in a REVENGE GAME for Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas, who look to punish their previous owner for shipping them out of town for pennies on the dollar. The Drunks look poised to roll over Burke’s Squad as a result.

Tornado Rodgers (6-4) plays IR or In Jail (6-3-1) in a huge game for wild card positioning – and maybe even for the division lead in Mints (more on that below). Rodgers will have to figure out a path to victory without the services of Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf – sources suggest Courtland Sutton might be on his way to the Tornadoes by way of reinforcement. IR or In Jail gets Julian Edelman back from his week off; this matchup is setting up to be a real slugfest come Sunday.

The Bizz Dawgs (7-3) hold a precarious one game lead over Tornado Rodgers and Yang Bucks in the Mints division, as they draw the undefeated Merrymount MadMen (9-0-1) this week. The MadMen are currently favored by 26 points to win, which is great news for BizzBot’s division rivals with playoff dreams of their own. Will BizzBot laugh in the face of projections for the second week in a row? Only time will tell.

As for the rest of you playing for pride with 3 weeks to go, we implore you to do well by the fantasy gods and try and win your matchups. Even if you fail, you will be rewarded with a shiny new toy come August 2020 with your top 4, top 5 pick in the draft.

So for Easton Yard Sale (2-8), Boston Robstahs (3-7), M.F Lunchables (3-7), and The Pissahs (4-6) – enjoy Week 11! Those at the top of the table will be rooting for you to pull some upsets here down the stretch in the next couple of weeks.

Here are the projected final standings from today. As a reminder, the trade deadline is 3:00am EST on November 15th.

With much anticipation… your Week 10 power rankings update. Shout out Election Day, hope everyone voted on Tuesday. Congrats to our own local elected town official on his town meeting seat!

Week 9 saw the contenders separate themselves from the pretenders. It’s time for some definitive lists of where the teams stack up here in the home stretch!

Contenders:
Merrymount MadMen (8-0-1)
INSERT WITTY NAME (7-2)
Dartmouth Drunks (5-4)
Tornado Rodgers (6-3)
Fortunate Fools (5-4)

Undercover Trash:
Bizz Dawgs (6-3)
IR or In Jail (5-3-1)
kicking butker (4-5)

Definitive list of pretenders:
Yang Bucks (5-4)
Boston Robstahs (3-6)
The Pissahs (3-6)

Definitive list of definitely all the way out of it:
Burke’s squad that won’t be referred to by name (0-9)
Easton Yard Sale (2-7)
M.F. Lunchables (3-6)

And with that, the Week 10 Power Rankings!

The Drunks remain at the top of the list, but as Tornado Rodgers told us in the chat this week, everyone here pulling their weight to achieve justice in an unjust world – the Drunks suffered a brutal upset once again in Week 9.

Week 10 will almost certainly make or break any last remaining hopes for a lot of squads, with several teams in the middle of the pack (looking at you, Undercover Trash and Pretenders) desperate for Ws.

Yang Bucks (5-4) are slight 5 point favorites against the Boston Robstahs (3-6). Lamar Jackson faces the softest defensive matchup in the NFL for Yang Bucks against the Bengals, while the Robstahs breathe a sigh of relief, with Julio Jones returning from his bye week.

The zero loss MadMen (8-0-1) are in a pick ’em game with kicking butker (4-5) in what almost surely is a matchup with tremendous playoff implications. The entire Sundowner division is looking for the MadMen to get knocked down a peg so they have a shot at the bye week; butker needs a W to get back into the race for the Mints bye, something they CAN still accomplish if everything breaks right.

INSERT WITTY NAME (7-2) celebrates their bye week into Week 11 as 41 point favorites against Burke’s squad (0-9). A loss by the MadMen would do WITTY NAME some huge favors – their fans are optimistic here for sure.

The Drunks (5-4) are 63 point (!) favorites over Lunchables (3-6) in Week 10. They are literally projected to beat the Lunchables by more points than Lunchables is currently projected to score. The Drunks will continue to solidify their hold on one of the coveted four wild card berths as a result here.

There’s nothing better than a rivalry game between two close friends. We have that here in Week 10, with The Pissahs (3-6) set to face off with Tornado Rodgers (6-3). Rodgers looks to hold their edge on the Mints bye week with a win on the backs of Russell Wilson and Marlon Mack, while the Pissahs are celebrating the anticipated return of David Johnson to the starting lineup.

IR or In Jail (5-3-1) had a huge win for their playoff hopes in Week 9, and can put a little bit of a streak together here against Easton Yard Sale (2-7). Matt Ryan is expected to return to action for the Falcons, while Yard Sale needs to decide between a healthy Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

Yard Sale is a 27 point underdog in this spot, but our beat reporters in Easton tell us that it may be wheels up for backup RB Matt Breida and backup WR Zay Jones by Sunday, which would narrow the gap to just 10 points by game time.

Our final matchup of the slate features the Fools (5-4) and the Bizz Dawgs (6-3). The Fools currently hold a massive 52 point edge in early projection, but like Easton Yard Sale, our BizzBot beat reporter informs us that Mitchell Trubisky and Devonta Freeman are prepared to start over Tom Brady and James White this week. This would make it a 24 point spread in favor of the Fools, which is still a healthy spread.

Good luck in Week 10! Friendly reminder – our trade deadline is Friday, November 15th at 3:00am EST per the league settings.

Here are the projected final regular season standings from today:

The Mints division literally went 0-7 in Week 8. Ouch! The three-way tie for the first place bye is still in place, with Tornado Rodgers holding a slight edge over Bizz Dawgs and Yang Bucks based on points scored.

Over in Sundowner, the MadMen remain undefeated at 7-0-1, thanks to a 158-100 waxing of Lunchables on the backs of Aaron Jones, Deshaun Watson and James Conner. INSERT WITTY NAME worked on the lat muscles, using Lat Murray, Jared Goff and Saquon Barkley to take care of business against Tornado Rodgers. Their 125-106 win maintains their 2nd place spot in the division. Not to be out done, the Drunks flexed their muscles with the CMC and Michael Thomas duo combining for 56 fantasy points to keep pace.

Here are the rest of season power rankings, which continue to be very kind to the Drunks:

• 

Week 9 marks the beginning of the home stretch – with just 5 regular season weeks to go, wins are imperative. With 8 teams above .500 or better competing for 6 playoff berths, someone is going to be left unhappy by year’s end.

The Pissahs (3-5) are on a 2 game win streak, keeping playoff hope alive! They look to extend that to 3 in a row against Yard Sale (1-7) this week. They are 10 point favorites in the early week projection, as well.

Huge matchup for the Bizz Dawgs (5-3) as they look to seize control of the Mints division. They are 6 point favorites against the Robstahs (3-5), who need a win to keep pace with the field.

Tornado Rodgers (5-3) couldn’t have timed their matchup against the Dartmouth Drunks (5-3) any better – the Drunks have Michael Thomas on bye. Should Davante Adams return to action for Green Bay, however, it will be a tough path to victory for Tornado Rodgers in Week 9.

INSERT WITTY NAME (6-2) looks to keep pace with the MadMen against Lunchables (3-5), but will have to turn to the waiver wire to find a QB with Jared Goff on bye. Lunchables loses the services of Todd Gurley for the same reason.

The MadMen (7-0-1) are poised to remain undefeated thanks to a matchup against Burke’s squad (0-8), which almost certainly should be the AAF club in M.I.P.P.A. for 2019 – bankrupt and cancelled.

Flying under the radar is the Fortunate Fools (5-3) who have underwhelmed in recent weeks, but also who the power rankings have been favorable towards based on underlying metrics. kicking butker (3-5) will have their hands full as 19 point underdogs in Week 9 as a result.

Yang Bucks (5-3) and IR or In Jail (4-3-1) are in a pivotal spot, with the loser likely seeing quite the uphill battle to qualify for a wild card playoff spot. Yang Bucks are 5 point favorites before the waiver run on Wednesday morning.

All teams will have to do without the services of their favorite members of the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati BengaLOLs, Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints as those teams take the week off.

Good luck in Week 9, everybody! Here are the projected final standings as of today:

The Dartmouth Drunks’ spiral was brought to an end thanks to their 112-59 drubbing of IR or In Jail (sorry, Sylvia) on the backs of Austin Ekeler, Michael Thomas, and Patriots D/ST.

They now sit 3 games out of first place in the Sundowner division, and should they make it, they absolutely terrify any team playing in the Wild Card round of our playoffs in Week 14 with that roster.

INSERT WITTY NAME has ripped off 5 straight wins after an 0-2 start, and sit in 2nd place behind the MadMen, who moved to 6-0-1 with a victory of their own in Week 7.

On the Mints side of things, tough losses for Tornado Rodgers and the Bizz Dawgs took place against underdog opponents. This opened the door for Yang Bucks to enter a three-way tie for 1st place and the other bye week with their 86-74 win over kicking butker.

Here are the rest of season power rankings heading into the 2nd half of the season:

There are some pivotal head-to-head battles in Week 8. The Pissahs (2-5) need to build on last week’s victory, as a winning streak is likely required to get back in the race. They take on Yang Bucks (5-2), who need a win of their own to try and seize control of the Mints’ division lead.

Boston Robstahs (2-5) and kicking butker (3-4) face off in a game that likely ends the Robstah’s playoff aspirations with a loss. butker is sneaky in the running for the Mints division title; with similar points scored to each of the three teams tied for first, they’re flying under the radar.

The Fools (4-3) seem to be poised to move to 5-3 thanks to a matchup against Burke’s (0-7) pathetic punted roster – the only thing dying soon would be the Fools’ playoff aspirations with a loss, here.

The MadMen (6-0-1) draw Lunchables (3-4), and are heavily favored (-22) in the early projections for their matchup, which is not something all the other Sundowner competitors want to read here. Too bad!

INSERT WITTY NAME (5-2) and Tornado Rodgers (5-2) have a key battle. A victory for WITTY NAME keeps them alive for the Sundowner bye, while a win by Tornado Rodgers keeps them in the driver’s seat for the Mints bye.

Dartmouth Drunks (4-3) must start Jameis Winston over the recently injured Patrick Mahomes, but thankfully they draw Easton Yard Sale (1-6), another team playing for 2020.

IR or In Jail (3-3-1) looks to right the ship against Bizz Dawgs (5-2) who badly need a win of their own given that three-way tie atop the Mints leaderboard.

The season is just starting to get super compelling at the top of the leaderboard! All owners who have chosen to compete here in 2019 are being rewarded with a real chance at the postseason.

PLEASE pay your league dues. That is all. Good luck in Week 8, everybody!

Projected final standings from today:

Can you Diggs it! The highest scoring player in fantasy this week put up 52 points in M.I.P.P.A., however, he was on IR or In Jail’s bench 😥

Just a disastrous move, and one that ultimately led to MadMen and IR or In Jail tying 125-125 on the week.

Tornado Rodgers can thank his newly departed team members David Johnson and Mike Evans for keeping him tied for 1st in the Mints division, as the duo combined for 47 points in his 101-90 win over kicking butker.

One team has 813 fantasy points scored on the season, which is 51 points more than the next closest squad. Unfortunately for that team – Dartmouth Drunks – they’ve also faced the toughest schedule, allowing 755 points to opponents. They now sit at 3-3 and in 8th place. Given how stacked the Drunks roster is, they still lead the Power Rankings:

Week 7 is the official midway point of the regular season! 6 games precede it, and 6 games remain after it. Here are some of the key battles to watch this week:

The 1st place 5-0-1 MadMen face the Fools in a battle that will likely drastically alter the Fools’ playoff aspirations. A win for the Fools places them in the running for a bye, while a loss likely places them solely in wild card contention.

The Drunks look to get back into the win column against IR or In Jail, but will have to do so without the services of CMC and (potentially?) an injured Davante Adams. IR or In Jail would like to wash away the sour taste of the Diggs disaster with an upset win, for sure.

Here are the current playoff odds. Good luck in Week 7!

Merrymount MadMen continues to run hot! The only undefeated team in the league is now 5-0 after defeating Dartmouth Drunks 205-166 in an absurd battle.

MadMen rode the backs of 40+ point performances from Amari Cooper and Aaron Jones, with a 53 point effort from DeShaun Watson to cap it off. They also got 27 points from the Eagles defense, who benefitted from what is being graded at this stage as the 4th-worst performance by a QB since 1989 by Football Outsiders. Sheesh!

The victory gives MadMen a 2 game lead in the Sundowner division.

Bizz Dawgs and The Return of Tornado Rodgers each earned important victories, and now sit tied atop the Mints division in the battle for the other first round bye.

In Week 6, Finley looks to bounce back against Yang Bucks, while IR or In Jail looks to help him out as they are projected to defeat the MadMen. Bizz Dawgs draws 0-5 Easton Yard Sale, while Tornado Rodgers has a key battle with kicking butker, who is projected to win.

Here are the rest of season power rankings as of today:

And here is the current projection for final standings on the season. Good luck in Week 6!

Trade winds have been swirling amongst M.I.P.P.A. owners since we last shared Power Rankings.

Finley’s squad has officially become the prohibitive favorites, acquiring Davante Adams, Christian McCaffrey and Michael Thomas in two separate deals. He’s certainly banking on taking down the title here, having sold his 1st, 2nd, and 4th round pick to pull that off.

Your humble writer sent away a 2nd rounder to acquire Keenan Allen, and a mid-rounder to get Mike Williams as insurance behind him. In a pair of QB swap trades, Easton Yard Sale added Aaron Rodgers, kicking butker acquired Jimmy G-String, Lunchables acquired his holiness Godner Minshew, and Tornado Rodgers added Russell Wilson.

While the football season is only entering its second quarter, we’re already in midseason fantasy form, with several playoff fates already coming down to key head-to-head matchups in Week 5.

Here are the Week 5 Power Rankings:

Two of three squads tied for first place in the Mints division square off this week, with Tornado Rodgers and Yang Bucks going head to head. The third team, Bizz Dawgs, faces 1-3 Lunchables in what appears to be a winning spot. The loser between Yang/Rodgers is going to be at a disadvantage moving forward for that bye week seed.

Big game between 2-2 squads Gorham IR or In Jail and Boston Robstahs in the Sundowner division, as well.

Finley’s absolute wagon of a team looks to tie Caliri for first place in Sundowner, as they too face one another here. Week 5 should be a fun week to watch play out.

As it stands today, here are the final projected standings:

Week 3 has come and gone, and the playoff picture is further solidifying…. the “Champ Champ” is apparently parting out his roster, while Tornado Rodgers and Merrymount Madmen have risen to the top of the table in their respective divisions at 3-0.

They happen to have the “Game of the Week” here in Week 4, as both first place squads face off. There are seven 2-1 squads behind them that will be in much better positions in their respective divisions if their rival falls this weekend.

This is the first week of the season with byes, so SF and NYJ players in your starting lineup? Get ’em out! Not playing this week.

Here are your Week 4 rest of season power rankings:

And finally, your current projected final regular season standings:

As the trade market heats up, it will be interesting to see how things shift in M.I.P.P.A. in 2019. Good luck, everybody.

With 5 squads sitting at 2-0, the early playoff picture is starting to take shape!

Week 2 was loaded with injuries across the NFL, and while we obviously hope those humans heal for the benefit of themselves and their families, our fantasy teams have been impacted greatly.

Drew Brees? Defending champ Justin suffered that blow. Big Ben? Al’s gonna need a new plan in 2019 for sure.

With upcoming matchups, Jon and Shawn have the biggest tilt in Week 3, as both 2-0 teams from the Sundowner division face off here. This sets up nicely for Sylvia to take control at 3-0 if he can defeat Fahey (although the projections are not in his favor).

For our 0-2 squads that are desperate for a win… good luck this week.

Here are your Week 3 Power Rankings!

Despite the 0-2 record, Fahey’s squad looks very strong on this week’s slate.

Rest of season outlook from today:

Worry not, fantasy friends. 11 regular season weeks remain for you to change your fate. That’s good news for those of you at the bottom of the current table – and bad news for those of us already looking to hold on.

Week 1 has come and gone! The shiny new players you drafted? For some of you, they paid off! For others, well… on to Week 2! It’s fair to say everyone is still in the race at this point.

Here are the Week 2 Power Rankings:

Well then! ML is feeling good right? Not so fast, lets look rest of season:

Yeah we stink, ML’s team is loaded.

Don’t blow it, dude.
