Power Rankings Week 14:

1. Hernandez Hitmen - (13-1-0) (Last: 1) (This Week: BYE)

Noah Ballweg's hopes of surpassing last years regular season record of 11-2-0 have come true as the13-1-0 record posted in 2015 is attributed to great all around team management. Hernandez Hitmencomes into the playoffs holding the #1 overall seed and will face the winner of Juan Too Many vsFavre Dollar Footlong in two weeks. While Noah's team seems poised heading into the playoffs, theexperts say not so fast. At the quarterback position Hernandez Hitmen is faced to deploy Matt Ryan(4 points) or Derek Carr (13 points) both who have been struggling in the second half of the season.During his bye, Hernandez Hitmen will look to fix the issue at quarterback, while perfecting hislineup for the Semi-final Playoff Round.

2. Team Ruby - (8-6-0) (Last: 2) (This Week: BYE)

With the #2 seed locked up and a first round bye coming during Wildcard weekend, Team Ruby has got to be thankful to have some time to figure out an effective lineup to use for his upcoming playoff run. After posting 247 points last weekend, Justin scored just 166 points, which, while still was enough for a victory, there is still plenty of work to be done to ensure a win week in and week out. With Andy Dalton (Thumb) lost for the season, Team Ruby will now have to lean on the surefire arm of Russell Wilson who has continued to prove that he is a fantasy football worthy quarterback even when he is not using his legs to run. Heading into the playoffs, no one wants a piece of Team Ruby who has proved that his team can explode at any time of the season.

3. Juan Too Many (7-7-0) (Last: 4) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

As NBA Jams announcer, Tim Kitzrow would say, "He's heating up!" Juan Too Many has now won4 straight matchups and comes soaring into the playoffs as arguably the hottest team in the leagueright now. Thanks to a 3 TD performance from Blake Bortles (25 points) and the surprisinglyconsistent play of Brandon Marshall (24 points) Juan Too Many was able to fend off the upsetminded Juan Direction team and moves up in this weeks Power Rankings. Josh has definitelyimproved after an abysmal 3-10-0 season last year, and now is looking to fight for the Shack Daddytrophy. Although Josh is tied for the third best record in the league, he has clinched the #4 seedand will face an outstanding Favre Dollar Footlong team in the Wildcard playoff matchups thiscoming weekend.

4. Juan Sucks (7-7-0) (Last: 3) (This Week: Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood)

The reigning champion of the league is now set to defend his title and it appears as though his is right where he wants to be. Last year Juan Sucks, formerly known as Milwaukee Panthers came into the playoffs as the #4 seed, caught fire and took the rest of the league by storm to claim the championship. This year, Zac's leads his team into the playoffs as the #3 seed and will look to get revenge against #6 Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood, the team that defeated him just this week. Juan Sucks will look to build consistency amongst the wide receiving corps as this past weekend both Amari Cooper and Donte Moncrief scored 8 points combined. One key statistic to keep an eye on is 145.00. The number of points that Juan Sucks has been averaging over the past 7 games compared to the 161.86 points that he averaged in the first half of the season. In order to repeat as champion, Zac will need to break this trend and prove to the league his dominance once again.

5. Favre Dollar Footlong - (6-8-0) (Last: 5) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

If Nathan can make it past the first round of the playoffs, the light at the end of the tunnel will get significantly brighter. With Julian Edelman (Foot) and Marshawn Lynch (Abdomen) both on the mend, it is only a matter of time before Favre Dollar Footlong is healthy and back to dominating the competition. With a chance at potentially fighting for the #3 seed in the playoffs, Nathan was dealt a crucial blow in Week 14 with the loss of RB Thomas Rawls (Ankle) which ultimately led to the defeat of Favre Dollar Footlong against Team Ruby. Heading into the Wildcard weekend, Nathan will look to replace Rawls, as well as assemble a lineup that is capable of defeating JuanToo Many, whom the experts are touting as the hottest team in the league.

6. Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood (6-8-0) (Last: 7) (This Week: Juan Sucks)

Juan Dominguez did everything in his power to make it into the 2015 playoffs, and with the help of a few other teams, he was able to do just that and in a convincing fashion as well. Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood clinched the final playoff spot with a 174-141 victory against the #3 seeded Juan Sucks team. With Todd Gurley (25 points) finding a resurgence in the rushing game and TE Rob Gronkowski returning from a knee injury, Juan certainly has some potential heading into the Wildcard weekend. Facing the same team that he beat this past week, Juan will look to use the same strategy and hope for the best when he faces Juan Sucks in the first round with the winner taking on #2 Team Ruby. Despite whatever outcome, it has been a fine season for Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood and next years team should be even better.

7. Juan Direction (3-10-1) (Last: 8) (This Week: Team Huisman)

It is not every day you see Juan Direction rising from the pits of the Power Rankings, but its happening and the league better be ready. During the second half of the season, Luke has averaged nearly 18.5 more points per game than he did during the beginning half of the season, which is due in large part to regularly checking his roster as well as some key pickups (Doug Baldwin) Although Juan Direction fell to Juan Too Many over the weekend and finished with a 3-10-1 record, there were signs of hope for this team and just like the Chicago Cubs, maybe next year is the year! Luke and Taylor will play for the opportunity to pick their position in next years 2016 Fantasy Football draft, a valuable honor that could propel either one into the playoffs next season. With Ben Roethlisberger at the reigns of the Pittsburgh offense, Juan Direction looks to be in good hands the rest of the way down the stretch.

8. Team Huisman (5-8-1) (Last: 6) (This Week: Juan Direction)

Team Huisman began the season right in the mix of things, and from early predictions, it appeared as though Taylor would be headed towards his second straight playoff appearance. However, due to a lack of team management and a few close losses in the second half of the season, Team Huisman has plummeted to the bottom of the Power Rankings and has missed the 2015 playoffs. Receivers DeAndre Hopkins (8 points) and Mike Evans (6 points) will look to get back on track in next weeks tilt against Juan Direction in the battle for next years draft position.
