KHH Power Rankings

We get the pleasure of these rankings from G-baby this week.


Power Rankings week 4

KHH- Can you really argue with this? The Hoes balled out last week vs. the swag champ. Can the swag champ’s little brother get redemption this week? Doubtful. Hoes get strong with the shocking return of Melvin Gordon this week. Only thing that can stop the hoes at the moment is the injury bug and there crazy owner who loves to make stupid trades. Only time will tell.

The Replacements- Scary Terry has been an excellent addition to a team that is filled with a bunch of rejects, who were passed over by many. Drew finds #value where others don’t’. Solid start to the year and I expect him to be a force from here on out.

Little Giants- This team is stacked with talent, but is starting to catch the injury bug. Solid pickups at QB should help whether the storm until Brees comes back. The biggest question from the rest of the league is what will he do with Gurley? Will he try to sell high on the results from last season, or will Phil get caught holding the bag at the end.

Nature Boys- How can the league leader in points not be in the top 2? Ric’s flex look’s shaky and this could prove to be an issue going forward. However, Ric is the styling, profiling, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheelin ‘n dealing, son of a gun. When you roll with a guy like Lamar Jackson, you can cover up a lot of weaknesses.

The Boss Assess- Boss Assess are loaded at every position except for 1…. RB. Made a great trade this week that should help going forward. However, can he make 1 more to bring in another boss ass? A lot of questions moving forward for this team. Will Josh Gordon get high? Will lesean disappear when D Will is healthy?

EDELman2783- With the loss of barkley, this certainly hurts the prospects of Mr. Edel moving forward. Too many holes in this roster at the moment to move any higher. EDELman needs to be on the phone, working trades or will continue to fall in the coming weeks.

TPC- May have the lowest floor in the league. May also have the most ammo to make a splash in the coming weeks.

AggSwagggg- Zeke hasn’t been Zeke yet, but that will change in the coming weeks. Lockett has been amazing. This team will surge once Tyreeke comes back.

Aaron’s Party- The party got bumpin this week when Aaron and his wingman finally decided to show up. Unfortunately, the party could be cut short when the guests find out that this is a “going away party” for Ekelar. We will have to see what Branch has up his sleeve to keep the party going before it’s too late.

Papa Burgandy’s- Papa Burgandy did what he does best. Burgandy made headlines this past week with a huge trade with Mr. Gold. Something tells me he isn’t done making headlines. I can see it now…“Burgandy brought on stage during Ciarra Concert.” That would mean only one thing for the rest of PWS….Shit he’s baaaaacccckkkkkkk.

MGA- Solid trade this week, in which Mr. Gold got arguably the best player in the league this year. I fully expect them to begin surging up the rankings in the coming weeks.

Dirty Bird’s- Your bench doesn’t win championships, your starters do. 2^nd options don’t win championships, starters do. Maybe the bird droppings will be able to pull off a trade next week? Do I hear Todd Gurley?????

PWS Week 3 recap

With 3 weeks down we are essentially a quarter of the way through the regular season. The season is going by rapidly and it is time to make bold moves before it's too late.


Little Giants vs The Papa Burgundys

In a must win game between two Brothers, Phillip rained down fantasy points to win decisively. This despite his QB and Gurley combining for just 16 points. Little Giants again proving to be able to win against all odds when they need to the most. After a potential season saving win Phillip has turned to Danny Dimes to continue the playoff push. As for the Burgundys this is a crushing blow. Hardman and McCaffery gave all they had, but it wasn't enough to earn their first victory. Sitting in a glass case of emotion Holeman has turned to a familiar friend to right the ship. Trading for DJ in addition to Julio and ertz. Will this be enough ? Or will it in fact prove to be a very filling burrito that will cost Papa Burgundy what he loves most ? Only time will tell.



AggSwaggg vs KHH

I thought AggSwaggg liked to party. Perhaps they like to party too much. Edel falls to 0-2 without Hill. It has been tough sledding as AggSwaggg has turned to Peyton Barber as their RB2. Was this a drunken mistake or will Mr. Agg find his swag before it's too late ? For the Hoes it's been simple. Just win baby. Clearly doesn't matter who they even start as proof by inexplicably benching Phillip Lindsay for Tyrell Williams this week. Perhaps this was mercy. A handicap if you will as Cooper  and the gang have been unstoppable thus far. Can anyone challenge the hoes ? Can anyone compete with their Knappy-ness ? Find out from G-baby himself in this weeks interview.



Miller Gold Agency vs The People's Champ

It looked like the Agency was headed for their first win. Then Russell Wilson said it would be a real shame if someone decided to score garbage time points galore. The Agency has simply had enough. They cleaned house this week and will put their seasons hopes in CMC. They will face off against The Burgundys this week in what is seemingly an elimination game. Without Julio can Robert Woods and Alshon step up ? TPC got the week started with a rumblin bumblin stumblin performance from Fornette that would leave even Chris Berman speechless. All he needed was Wilson's garbage time hero performance in this one. Now stacked with not one but TWO Eagles running backs just how much more rumblin will we see from this squad ?



Aaron's Party vs The Nature Boys

Aaron's Party is off to a slow start, but I believe this week will prove to be the 10:30 lull just before the drugs kick in. Party pooper Stefon Diggs has been kicked out. The Party is primed and ready to rage. The Nature Boys enjoyed a Mike Evans breakout which covered up their abysmal flex options. The team is scoring in bunches, but is it sustainable? Just how long can the nature boy survive on heavy roids before there's a come down ? Should he be looking to sell high ? Probably. Will he look to acquire elite talents such as Kamara without willing to give up any top players ? Definitely. Time will tell if this is an early season mirage or the makings of a powerhouse.



The Dirty Birds vs The Replacements

The Dirty Birds came in to week 3 with high hopes, but as the old Chinese proverb states - the higher birds fly the faster they die. Trading for David Montgomery was suppose to sure of the RB stable. Where does this leave Soliz ? Does he need to make more trades ? Does he need to hold and pray ? Or does he in fact need to go back to making sweet soliz ? The Replacements... what can you say. They have under performing stars and they are 3-0. None of their RBs have lived up to expectations and they are 3-0. I wish I could be like Drew. Already positioning himself to claim what he believes to be rightfully his. "I won that championship... freaking Harry Butker"

PWS Week 3 sit/starts Match up Breakdowns

Looking around the league at match ups I see some questionable line up decisions as well as some brilliant moves. Some flat out make me want to vomit and others I tip my hat to. So here are some of my thoughts. Take it as you will.


The Papa Burgundys vs Little Giants

Burgundy nation is at a crossroads. On one hand they have a man who has been the face of this franchise for many years over the history of this great league. On the other he has a new kid on the block. One that embodies the new NFL prototype QB. At 0-2. It's time for a change. Murray will bring the fury:

320 passing yards 2 TDs 14 rushing yards 1 rushing score.

Phillip is in a tough flex spot. Do you really buy into an OJ Howard bounce back or go the I'll believe it when I see it route ? As tough as it is to have that faith and trust production tied to Winston, I personally side with the upside of Howard at home in a prime bounce back spot. In the event that I started pulling my hair out just at the thought of another goose egg my choice would be simple. Do I start a Raider @ Minnesota or would I infact go with James Washington ? Hear me out. The Steelers are changing things up this week after the Moncrief experience cost them their week 2 game. Reports state Dionte Johnson will get the start, but let's be real. Washington is the superior talent and has amazing rapport already with Mason Rudolph. Here are my projections for these 3 options:

Waller - 46 yards no score

Howard - 67 yards and a TD 

Washington - 79 yards and a TD

Match up projection : The Papa Burgundys 113 Little Giants 100


KHH vs AggSwaggg

All week George has Gore on his bench. All week I scratched my head. If you own Gore and you aren't going to play him this week then you 100% should drop him. What's the point ? He will serve as the clear lead back against a Cincinnati team that was just shredded on the ground by 3 different Niners. George however, is starting the ageless wonder. This will play a pivotal role in George getting back to back IG calls. I would however, start Gore over Tyrell Williams. I want zero Raiders in my line ups this week. As for Edel I have a similar argument. Why roster Devin Smith if you aren't going to start him when Gallup is out and he is playing THE WORST TEAM IN THE NFL??? Reports on Jacobs are that he lost 10 lbs this week. Yeah... I want to start that guy! Not to mention he has a road match up in Minnesota. What is the appeal in starting Jacobs here ? What is his upside in this situation ? Hard pass for me. I'd much rather roll the dice on the upside of Smith playing the Dolphins. Projections for these two

Jacobs - 23 rushing yards and 7 receiving yards. No score.

Devin Smith - 73 yards and a score

Match up projection : KHH 116 AggSwaggg 114


The Dirty Birds vs The Replacements

Soliz is off to a sizzling start after the Titans Defense got him one whole point Thursday night. I don't see any line up quandaries for him this week. Drew on the other hand has a very interesting one. Ride with the hot rookie McLaurin in a tough match up or trust a struggling MVS ? For me I don't want any Redskins this week against the Bears. They could easily score 10 points or less in that game. Chris Harris is expected to shadow Davante Adams which should open the door for an MVS breakout. Here's my projection:

McLaurin - 36 yards no score

MVS - 83 yards one score

Match up projection: The Replacements 111 The Dirty Birds 87


The Nature Boys vs Aaron's Party

Sam is starting Sterling Shepard... I assumed there must be a better option on his team.... there is not. Thank god he has Lamar Jackson and Dalvin Cook or this team should be renamed to the island of misfit players. Tyler has an interesting flex decision. Roll the dice on a less than 100% McCoy? Double down on Mostert ? Play it safe with Hyde ?  Tough call, but I believe my Muddog brother is making the correct call with Hyde. That's all you can do.

Match up projection: Aaron's Party 112 The Nature Boys 99



The Peoples Champ vs Miller Gold Agency

TPC has a plethora (click plethora) of flex options. I believe the fantasy community would ask Brett, "how can you bench Emmanuel Sanders ?! He's got 20 targets in two games! He's got 184 yards in two games! He has scored in both games ! He looks Amazing !" Brett is as savvy an owner as you will see and this move proves it. Starting Mike Williams over Sanders is a winning play. Sanders draws a GB defense that has held opponents to just 215.5 yards per game through the air and 9.5 ppg. Comparison projections:

Sanders - 56 yards no score

Mike Williams - 79 yards one score 

Match up projection: TPC 109 Miller Gold Agency 94


As Lance Armstrong said to Peter LeFleur "Good luck. I hope this decision doesn't haunt you forever."

PWS Week 2 recap

Week 2 was a polarizing week for the league. 4 teams scored over 100 and 4 teams scored under 80. Three teams are 2-0 and 3 teams are 0-2. Is it time to panic or pray ?


KHH vs The Papa Burgundys

The Burgundys had an underwhelming day, but were still in position to win with Alshon in a plus match up on primetime. Coming off a 2 TD performance surely he could score 9 points right ? Which begs the question, Did the hoes hire the goon from Happy Gilmore to take out Alshon ? A question we may never get the answer to. The Burgundys wouldn't have needed to count on Alshon production if their leader had just taken care of business. Now the rivers run red with Cardinal fury as the Burgundys look to Kyler Murray in week 3. For George and the hoes they will just continue to read the newspaper for their sit/starts while eating rolos and counting victories.


AggSwaggg vs EDELman2783

No brotherly love here. Mike had to sweat it out in one of the most riveting MNF games in recent memory. Thankfully Baker had the good sense to just get the ball to Beckham. The 89 yard TD hook up all but sealed the deal. AggSwaggg really misses Hill. Their team severely lacks upside. DJ Moore has huge QB questions right now. Yikes. Tyler Locket has been over taken as the number one WR by a rookie and this is still a run heavy team. Double Yikes. Michael Gallup is out. Triple yikes. Who will Edel turn to now ? Peyton barber ?? Duke Johnson ??? As for Mike this was a huge win to move to 2-0 despite a struggling Baker and all the wild uncertainty of AB.


Little Giants vs The Peoples Champ

Wow... this match up was the definition of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. In what was seemingly a Klein vs Klein Collins 6-2 blood bath The Peoples Champ did just enough to win... largely due to possibly the greatest fantasy player in league history Drew Brees going down early and finishing with zero points. Moment of silence please. Heading into week three there are rumors circling that these two power houses could be looking to join forces via trade. It must be a classic change of scenery type of philosophy. Can these teams rebound? Will Gurley be motivated by being put on the trade block ? Will Watkins return to week 1 form ? Will OJ Howard get a target ? Will Fornette finally find open fields to roam free ? Will Cooper Kupp continue to fall down on the 1 yard line ? Will Miles Sanders stop peeing his pants because he thinks it's cool ??? There's a lot of burning questions heading into week 3.


Miller Gold Agency vs The Nature boys

Hard to get Ws when the opposing QB rushes for 120 yards. Even more difficult when your QB has been Monstar-ed. Luckily for Dylan much like yogurt companies he has replaced Cam with Dak. Perhaps this is all that is needed to avoid 0-3 or perhaps Devonta Freeman is dead and Robert Woods has been kicked to the curb. A trade might be on the horizon for the agency. As for the Nature Boys the only thing that could stop this award winning cook-out is.... the man who eats Ws. Winston needs to be cut before he derails this franchise.


Aaron's Party vs The Replacements

The Party looked to be bumping early As Rodgers had 2 first quarter TDs then apparently had an early curfew. Aaron's party likely still did enough to win if not for those lowsy fish. The Replacements got a whopping 37 points from their Defense to earn the victory over the party. Branch has retooled and is ready to get back on track with added RB depth. No time to panic. Just R-E-L-A-X
Drew is back in position for another title run at 2-0 despite a 1.59 ypc from Joe Mixon, a completely inept Jets offense for Bell to run in and Wrs Edel has never heard of before. Just what is Drew up to with these WRs ? Will we find out week 3 ?


Now for the PWS Power Rankings through 2 weeks.

1. KHH - Many people including yours truly expected the Hoes to be crappy. So far this year they have proved everyone dead wrong as they have been hella Knappy. Cooper has been leading the way thus far for KHH nation. George has some juicy match ups this week and is up against a beaten down AggSwaggg squad. I see 3-0 in these hoes future.

2. EDELman2783 - Despite all the AB controversies and the Mahomes trade blunder Mike is quietly 2-0 and in 2nd. When you look at his team Mike looks like a squad primed to fall, but it's hard to bet against the Payroll Cowboy. Can he find some Mayfield Magic ?

3. The Replacements - I think Drew leads the league in starters on bad teams. Bell - Jets. Mixon - Bengals. Engram - Giants. McLaurin - Washington. He has Watson though and that may be all he needs.

4. THE BOSS ASSES - First in points. First in your hearts. Everyone's favorite convicts come in at number 4.

5. The Nature Boys - The guy may offer the worst trades in the league, but he's got quite the combo with Cook and Lamar Jackson. They can carry him far, but he's going to need better complimentary pieces than Crowder Allison and Sterling Shepard. Would soliz even roster these guys ?

6. The Peoples Champ - 9th in the rankings, but very dangerous ceiling. Especially with the addition of Cooks TPC can score 120+ regardless of match ups.

7. Little Giants - The slide ends here. Losing your top 2 QBs is tough. Navigating flex spots while Howard is playing FB could prove to be tougher. If anyone can figure it out it's Phillip. Will there be a McGuire this year ?

8. The Dirty Birds - The Dirty Birds found a bird bath just in time for week 2. Just what was in that water ? How long will its effects last ?

9. AggSwaggg - The team is breaking down and it's just week 2. Edel is taking his usual approach of refusing to make trades to improve and greatly over spending on early season waiver bids. Typical. At least he finally dropped Ballage.

10. Aaron's Party - I've said it numerous times. The best parties start late. This squad is still loaded with talent from top to bottom. He can climb into the top 5 in 2 weeks.

11. The Papa Burgundys - Maybe if he had spent more time studying WRs than flower arrangements for his wedding he wouldn't be getting nightmares of last season. I do believe this team is hungry and motivated to climb back up the ladder. The keys to the team have been passed to Kyler Murray who I fully expect to go en fuego over the remainder of the season.

12. Miller Gold Agency - Averaging 73 ppg was not what Dylan had in mind. He's not taking the Nick Edel approach of "I'm just gunna let my team die" and is actively looking for ways to improve the Agency. He already acquired a top 5 QB in Dak. Now he just needs to upgrade his RB2 and WR2 slots. If Dylan can find some upside it's not too late to get right back in it.

PWS Week 1

Ahh... week one is officially done. Queue the early victory laps and panic buttons.

The Papa Burgundys vs AggSwaggg

Burgundy nation eclipsed the 100 point threshold, but much was left to be desired as Conner Kerryon and Pettis were outscored by Gostkowski by 5 points. This feels like a huge  and very fortunate win for AggSwaggg who's arrow is definitely pointing down with the injuries to Hill and Guice. I'd look for Mister "we have too many roster spots" to spend most if not all of his FAAB budget this week and keep the rest of his team frozen for the rest of the year. That is of course if they can out bid the Burgundys tonight who should be looking to aggressively pursue some WR help after the tragic usage of Pettis. My predictions:

Marquise Brown ends up a Burgundy for $34

Gio and Ross end up on AggSwaggg for $48 total



KHH vs The Peoples Champ

Whoah Nelly. The hoes are the knappiest I've seen since.... they previously went by Try and Stop the Rev in 07. The Dak Cooper connection has bailed out the Hoes horrific draft thus far, but could the hoes have more tricks stashed away in their knappy heads ? Perhaps a trick named Raheem Mostert or possibly another blockbuster deal? The Peoples Champ may be hitting the panic button after a disastrous week 1 showing. I remain cautiously optimistic as Watkins has turned back the clock and found the fountain of health. No waiver moves for Brett this week, but I feel a blockbuster trade on the horizon.



The Little Giants vs The Nature Boys

Todd Gurley had training wheels and Lamar Jackson went en fuego. It didn't matter for the defending champ. Winning was still a Brees. Phillip doesn't need to do much on waivers this week. I look for Sam to whiff on the top adds and land Terry McLaurin.



Miller Gold Agency vs The Replacements

Tyrell William's lead the way for the agency week one... yikes. Not an ideal start, but should bounce back nicely with much better match ups week 2. Especially after landing Panthers def off the wire. The Replacements might need to make good on their team name and replace Mixon week 2. Will they look to the wire or in house ? My bet is they look to mask their RB deficiencies with 12 personel by unveiling Hockenson.


The Dirty Birds vs EDELman2783

The Dirty birds were awfully dirty this week. They spent much of Sunday rolling around in their own filth. Is this all a part of the plan ? To lure us in a false sense of security,  or is it in fact time to panic ? Mike most certainly missed Mahomes in this match up. Mayfield under performed,  but Mike still got the W. Now that AB is back in his line up Mike has to feel a lot better about his ROS outlook. I believe he lands Darren Waller and makes a trade happen this week.


Power Rankings

1. The Little Giants - will keep the top spot till they lose a game

2. THE BOSS ASSES - As hungry and as deep as ever. Explosive plays galore. ALL BOSS ASS ALL THE TIME

3. KHH - could be the biggest faller after week 2? Or could they prove the haters wrong with another blow up week?

4. EDELman2783 - loaded with trade peices and as aggressive as any.

5. The Replacements - Watson will carry this team far.

6. AggSwaggg - without Hill I think times are going to be very tough

7. The Burgundys - unlucky loss week one keeps him out of the top 6. One good WR away from being dangerous.

8. Aaron's Party - the best parties don't start early. Aarons Party should be a huge riser in the coming weeks.

9. The Peoples Champ - plenty of pieces to make a big trade happen and still have strong plays throughout the entire line up.

10. Miller Golds Agency - Rough week 1 lands him here, but the match ups are prime for a bounce back.

11. The Nature Boys - Going to need to make some moves. Could Evans be on the move ?

12. The Dirty Birds - Get a shot at redemption against the first place team this week. Will he capture it? Or just let it slip?

Bold Predictions

I was wondering what I should write about as I headed home from work. My thoughts of what to write were interrupted by pure frustration as I wait for the elevator. "Why on earth is it taking so long for the elevator?! All I want to do is be able to change clothes, relax and produce some new content." My frustration began to build as a couple more minutes passed. I'm incredibly annoyed at this point. Then it hit me. The most inconvenient part of my day was waiting a few minutes for the elevator to escort me up to my highrise apartment. Life isn't so bad if this is my biggest inconvenience #firstworldprobs. I wonder if any NFL players have something inconvenient that will effect their 2019 outlook? Let's jump in with some bold predictions and spicey takes.

Damien Williams

What inconveniences could there possibly be in Damien's world ? He's set to be the lead back for the best offense in football right ? He excels as a pass catcher and has a generational talent as a QB. What could possibly stop him from being an RB1? Oh wait, now I remember! The Cheifs just signed LeSean McCoy, giving him 3 million guaranteed. You don't pay that kind of money to a RB if he's just an insurance policy or a depth addition. I believe the intent is to give McCoy a significant workload in the range of 12-15 touches per game. Many will argue that McCoy is washed up and will face plant if he is given an opportunity to earn a role. I get it. He averaged a career low 3.2 ypc last season and he's now 31. That was on a Bills team that no one feared getting beat from their passing game. Now he's reunited with Andy Reid in the system he flourished in. I've gone back and watched his 2018 tape. He still has the "Shady Shake". He was dangerous in space. McCoy also has 7 seasons of 40 or more catches. He is going to be a versatile asset for this team. My first BOLD prediction - LeSean McCoy finishes with more fantasy points than Damien Williams in both standard and PPR.


 Deshaun Watson

Watson averages 1.5 YPA and 1.5 TDs per game more with Will Fuller on the field. With the addition Laremy Tunsil, Watson will have more time to make big plays. Kenny Stills will only add to those big plays. The addition of Duke Johnson will present an upgrade in the pass catching RB arena. This could help swing plays that were sacks or hurried throws last year into checkdowns that turn into positive gains. Watson has 5,000 total yards and 40 total TDs in 2019.



Odell Beckham Jr

I've talked him up enough to forgo a breakdown. Beckham eclipses 1700 yards and has 17+ TDs this season.



Sony Michel

Sony Michel leads the NFL in rushing TDs with at least 18.



Will Fuller

Fuller stays healthy and goes en fuego. Finishes the year as a WR1 in both standard and PPR.


Saquan Barkley

Finishes the year with over 2200 total yards  but still finishes behind Ezekiel Elliot as the RB2 overall.



Justice Hill

Finishes with 1200+ total yards and 6+ scores. Ends the year as a top 20 RB



Baker Mayfield

Mayfield not only feels dangerous, but is dangerous to your opposing fantasy owners. Mayfield finishes with 4700 total yards and 40 total TDs



James Washington

Finishes as a top 25 WR eclipsing the 1000 yard mark.



Zach Ertz

Finishes outside the top 5 at the position.
