Power Rankings Week 12

1. Hernandez Hitmen − 12-0-0 (Last: 1) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

Noah added on to his win streak of what is now 12 straight victories with a balanced

scoring attack from everyone in his lineup. With all but 4 players scoring in double digits

led by Calvin Johnson (35) and Odell Beckham Jr. (29) it was highly improbable that

anyone would come close to his 211 points scored this weekend. Moving into week 13,

Hernandez Hitmen will look to bring back the services of running backs Charcandrick

West (Hamstring) and Devonta Freeman (Concussion) while also finding a replacement

for TE Tyler Eifert (Neck) who appears to be sitting out this week’s slate of games.

2. Juan Sucks – 7-5-0 (Last: 2) (This Week: Juan Direction)

In what appeared to be the makings of the best matchup of the season, Team Juan Sucks

could not muster up enough points to keep up with the high powered attack of Hernandez Hitmen. Zac’s team still managed to put up a respectable 147 points which had he been

facing any other team, most likely would have resulted in a win. Running back DeMarco

Murray came out of the Eagles loss to the Lions with a total of 3 points in comparison to

the 18 that he was projected to score. Zac will need to replace TE Jimmy Graham (Knee)

who was put on the season ending IR, but the rest of his team looks ready to fight for

another victory in Week 13.

3. Team Ruby – 6-6-0 (Last: 3) (This Week: Team Huisman)

Looking to make a jump in the standings this week, Team Ruby was surprised by upset

minded performance by the up-and-coming Juan Too Many squad led by Josh Bruckert

and took a hard loss this week. With 148 total points scored, by no means a lackluster

score, but he also had 138 points sitting on his bench, most of those coming from Russell

Wilson (34) and Jarvis Landry (35). What most likely hurt Justin the most was the

performance of his defenses and kickers, totaling 16 points compared to the 32 points

scored by Juan Too Many. Justin will look to rebound next week and welcomes the

continued health of RB Matt Forte who should continue to be a huge factor down the

stretch.

4. Juan Too Many 5-7-0 (Last 6) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Juan Too Many, led by owner Josh Bruckert appeared to make all the right moves, in all

the right places this week. Inserting WR Jeremy Maclin and QB Philip Rivers into his

lineup proved to make all the difference. Both players combined for a total of 10 points in

the previous week, but exploded for 59 points in Week 12 giving Josh more than enough

to take down his opponent. Juan Too Many will look to make it three wins in a row this

week as Josh continues his push for a higher seed in this year’s playoffs.

5. Favre Dollar Footlong – 5-7-0 (Last: 5) (This Week: Mr.Rodger’s Neighborhood)

Favre Dollar Footlong was dealt another blow this week as RB Marshawn Lynch

underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia and will most likely be out for the remainder

of the Fantasy Football Season. Looking adversity right in the eyes, team owner Nathan

picked up Lynch’s replacement (Thomas Rawls) who last week scored 39 points and

would look to build on that performance in week 12. With his defense scoring -4 points,

Nathan would need a huge performance from one of his player and it looked like he had

just that on Thanksgiving day when Matthew Stafford threw for 5 TD’s amassing Nathan

with 34 points to start off the week. However, it would not be enough for Favre Dollar

Footlong as nearly every player on the roster underperformed this week sending Nathan

to a 5-7 record tied for 4^th place.

6. Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood 5-7-0 (Last: 7) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood led by Juan Dominguez snuck out a 126-118 victory over

Team Huisman in Week 12. While the points were hard to come by for both teams, Juan

got a huge performance from the speedy WR T.Y. Hilton (27 points) of the Indianapolis

Colts. As the cliché saying goes, “A win is a win,” and that could not be any truer for Mr.

Rodger’s neighborhood. Heading into Week 13, Juan will look to find a replacement for

TE Rob Gronkowski (Knee) who will most likely be missing the next few weeks for the

New England Patriots.

7. Team Huisman 5-6-1 (Last 4) (This Week: Team Ruby)

Team Huisman continues to stand in the mix of 5 win teams and with his 6 losses and 1

tie may be just enough to edge him into the playoffs in the coming weeks. This week

Team Huisman fell to Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood by a total of 8 points. Unfortunately,

Taylor’s kicker Matt Bryant sat out of Sundays matchup which could have very well been

the 8 points that Taylor needed to win this matchup. C.J. Anderson of the Denver

Broncos burst forth this week for 31 points after having only scored 12 points in his

previous 3 games. It will be interesting to see if the Broncos will continue to run the ball

as well as they did Sunday night which will boost Anderson’s stock, or if he will continue

to put up lackluster totals like he has all season.

8. Juan Direction – 2-9-1 (Last 8) (This Week: Juan Sucks)

In a week where Juan Direction’s defense and kickers combined for only 10 points, it

seemed as though Luke Drachenberg’s squad would be well on their way to a league

leading 10^th loss, but the rest of the players on Juan Direction had something to say about

that. Prior to Week 12, Juan Direction had only been averaging 125 points per game, but

this week exploded for a season high 172 points led by the legs of Adrian Peterson (31

points) and the hands of Julius Thomas (26 points). Thomas who was acquired just this

week proved to be the “X-Factor” of Luke’s lineup this week and could be a sign of big

things moving forward. Although it appears as if this will be the second year in a row that

Juan Direction will miss the playoffs, there certainly is potential starting to grow. With

Tony Romo out for the rest of the year, Luke will need to keep an eye on Big

Ben (Concussion).
