Week 2 Current Power Rankings

#1 ↑ Suh Girls One Cup 2-0 (Last: 4) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Suh Girls One Cup is officially back and hungry for the title in 2016! With two straight performances of 170+ points each week, Suh Girls One Cup has breezed its way to a impressive 2-0 start and will look to continue the dominance in an upcoming matchup with less than lethal Favre Dollar Footlong. In Week 2, Suh Girls One Cup defeated Team Prime (1-1) by a score of 180-134 points. Ouch! Straight out of the gates on Thursday night, Eric Decker (24 points) impressed with 6 receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown to put the cherry on top. Later into the weekend, it was free agent pick up Mike Wallace (20 points) who hauled in a pair of touchdowns and veteran tight end Greg Olson (23 points) who all but solidified Suh Girls One Cup victory over Team Prime and earning him the #1 position in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings.

#2 ↓ Silly Nannies 2-0 (Last: 1) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

2-0 Silly Nannies continues to impress the rest of the King of the Shack Fantasy Football league. After coming in at #1 last week, Silly Nannies again remains near the top of the rankings dropping to the #2 position due to an array of injuries that could spell out some trouble in the coming weeks. Silly Nannies defeated Juan Too Many by a score 162-133 in their Week 2 matchup, not the output that Jake could have been hoping for, but in the end a win is a win and Silly Nannies remains 1 of 3 teams with a 2-0 record. Unfortunately, Silly Nannies does have some tough decisions to make. Both starting running backs Jonathan Stewart and Adrian Peterson have some significant injuries and could miss multiple weeks in the near future. It will be up to Silly Nannies and the rest of his roster to perform at a high level to make up for the lost points at running back.

#3 ↑ O'Brees Wan Kenobi 2-0 (Last: 5) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)

Back to back victories for O'Brees Wan Kenobi and Juan Dominguez is sitting pretty amidst the top 3 Power Ranking teams. With another convincing win in Week 2 over Hernandez Hitmen, O'Brees Wan Kenobi moves to 2-0 on the season and will look to remain undefeated in a heavily anticipated Week 3 tilt with Gronkemon Go (1-1) O'Brees Wan Kenobi again relied heavily on the strong quarterback play of Drew Brees (14 points) and Derek Carr (24 points) and was greatly helped out by DeAndre Hopkins (24 points) who hauled in 7 passes for 113 yards and 1 touchdown. This led to a 177-144 victory over Hernandez Hitmen in Week 2. Something to note for O'Brees Wan Kenobi is the fact that they boast a 2-0 record, but still have yet to activate both Jamaal Charles and Tyler Eifert, both of whom will greatly boost this teams upside. Keep and eye out for O'Brees Wan Kenobi.

#4 ↑ Gronkemon Go 1-1 (Last: 6) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

Gronkemon Go has by far been the most resilient team over the last two weeks. After having dealt with injury after injury, Justin has led his team to a 1-1 record and has been competitive in each matchup despite still not receiving any contributions from Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) yet. This moves Gronkemon Go up to our #4 spot in the King of the Shack Power Rankings, and as his team continues to get healthy, this dangerous roster will become even more effective. In Week 2, Gronkemon Go asserted his dominance over Ballz Deep! winning by a score of 198-182, and doing so with 110 points on his bench. Despite some shaky numbers from his quarterbacks Russell Wilson (11 points) and Matthew Stafford (15 points) Gronkemon Go looked to none other than veteran running back Matt Forte (30 points) to lead the way to victory over Ballz Deep! Looking ahead into Week 3, Gronkemon Go will face a 2-0 O'Brees Wan Kenobi squad and will have to crunch some numbers in order to set the optimal lineup to defeat Juan.

#5 ↓ Ballz Deep! 1-1 (Last: 3) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Ballz Deep! narrowly missed coming out of Week 2 with a victory, but was done in by multiple injuries to his roster, eventually leading to defeat against Gronkemon Go by a score of 182-198. While the loss drops Ballz Deep! to a 1-1 record, the real loss came when fantasy guru Danny Woodhead went down with an injury, which will ultimately cost Ballz Deep! a tremendous amount of points during the rest of the season. Matt will have to look towards other options such as Charles Sims or Jeremy Hill to fill in for the injured Woodhead for the rest of the season. Heading in to a Week 3 showdown with Silly Nannies, Ballz Deep! will have to rely on his strong quarterback play from Matt Ryan (27 points) and Marcus Mariota (16 points) as well as look towards his plethora of wide receivers to make some plays on the field to lead him to a victory.

#6 ↑ Rudy Was Offsides 1-1 (Last: 7) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Juan Direction is no more, but Rudy Was Offsides is now headed in the right direction with a 153-149 victory over Favre Dollar Footlong in their Week 2 matchup. To put things in perspective, it took Luke 7 weeks to register his first win last season, so with his Week 2 win, it is quite evident that Rudy Was Offsides is here to make some noise in the 2016 season. Luke found some gold in Latavius Murray (21 points) and Delanie Walker (20 points) during his Week 2 matchup with Favre Dollar Footlong, this was accompanied by a strong performance from surprise running back Tevin Coleman (14 points) allowing Rudy Was Offsides to hold off his opponent and lay claim to his first victory of the year. Looking ahead to Week 3, Rudy Was Offsides will face a struggling Hernandez Hitmen team, but will have to replace running back Doug Martin and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as both went down with injury in Week 2. This being said, Le'Veon Bell will return in 2 weeks and at that point look for Rudy Was Offsides to really make some headway against the rest of the league.

#7 ↓ Team Prime 1-1 (Last: 2) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

It is amazing the difference one week can make on the outlook of a team. Heading into Week 2, Team Prime was dealing with some injuries, but it still was clear that he was one of the top teams to be reckoned with in the King of the Shack Fantasy Football league. Now heading into Week 3, Team Prime has again been done in by injury, and it appears as though the next few weeks will determine the type of post season position Team Prime will be able to snag. Following a Week 134-180 blowout loss to Suh Girls One Cup, Team Prime learned that running back Ameer Abdullah was placed on the IR, making two players in two weeks that have landed on the long term IR to start off the season. On the brightest note, Team Prime has been stashing running back Melvin Gordon (20 points) who is now set to receive an even heavier workload with Danny Woodhead departing for the season. Look for Gordon to be the dark horse candidate that every owner dreams of having, and if he can stay healthy, he will continue to make Tyler look like a very smart man. Heading into Week 3, Team Prime will clash with Juan Too Many, both teams are desperate for a win, but only one team will come out with the victory.

#8 - Hernandez Hitmen 0-2 (Last: 8) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

The defending champion is off to a dismal start in the 2016 King of the Shack Fantasy Football season and reports coming in from Adam Schefter say that quite honestly he has no idea what to do about it. Hernandez Hitmen fell in Week 2 by a score of 144-177 against O'Brees Wan Kenobi. Eddie Lacy (5 points) continues to haunt Hernandez Hitmen from last year, and it is clear that he never learned his lesson to stay away from Packers running backs. Week 3 looks just as concerning for Noah, as he faces Rudy Was Offsides, and will hope to grab a little luck and squeeze out a victory, otherwise the playoffs will all but be seemingly out of reaching with an 0-3 start.

#9 ↑ Favre Dollar Footlong 0-2 (Last: 10) (This Week: Suh Girls One Cup)

Nathan is still looking to put all the pieces together during the 2016 season, after an 0-2 start to conclude Week 2. Favre Dollar Footlong fell in defeat against Rudy Was Offsides, 149-153 a close defeat, but a loss none the less. While he has received strong output from Brandon Marshall (16 points) and Julio Jones (21 points) it is the rest of the team who has failed to contribute to the team overall. In Week 2, Favre Dollar Footlong had only 7 of his players scoring in the double digits, and the Raiders DST (-6 points) gives a clear image of the type of week that it was for Nathan. On the bright side, Jay Cutler will not need surgery going forward into the season, and coach John Fox is confident he will still be able to play. Praises!

#10 ↓ Juan Too Many 0-2 (Last: 9) (This Week: Team Prime)

Average about 135 points over the past two weeks, spells out disaster for Juan Too Many as the season ramps up heading into Week 3. After a 162-133 loss to Silly Nannies in Week 2, Juan Too Many will need to right the ship in Week 3 against Team Prime to gain some ground on the rest of the league in the hopes of making the playoffs once again this year. Both Devonta Freeman (9 points) and Thomas Rawls (4 points) again underperformed and Juan Too Many is left desperately awaiting the return of quarterback Tom Brady to team up with Aaron Rodgers to carry his team throughout the remainder of the season. Until then, Josh will have to hold on for dear life and hope that his roster can find some life over the next few weeks in order to put a 'W' in the win column before the halfway point of the season hits. Week 3 against Team Prime will be a great opportunity to prove the resiliency of this team.
