- Grimace Deez Nuts (4-1; Greg Flohs): With Malik Nabers out with an injury, and Goedert on BYE, it was slated to be a quieter week from this group – BUT – it should have been manageable against Josh’s consistently squandering team. Only problem? Josh’s team actually looked like a functioning team, and thus, the only undefeated team falls.
2. Lambeau Leapin’ Lambs (3-2; Evan Clayton): In my classic luck, Evan’s team decides to be mortal the WEEK AFTER I FACE HIM. And even worse for Evan, he falls to Nick. In my mind though, this team has nothing to worry about. Sometimes the chips just fall out of your favor; if only it were against me.
3. The Bonkers (3-2; Anthony DiMinno): Alright, so Lamar Jackson delivering a big performance? Not a surprise, but – *checks notes* – Brock Bowers and Brian Thomas Jr? Now that’s an outstanding sight for Ant. Not only that, Ant needed every point from this group to squeeze out this crucial week 5 win. Now above .500, Ant looks to continue his good fortunes.
4. Phoenixville Horn Dogs (3-2; John Williams): John’s team had 3 players have their “coming out party” for the 2024 season. Moore, Wilson and Aiyuk all cleared 22pts as John cruised to very easy victory over Jimmy. If those 3 receivers can start performing with consistency, John’s team could be scary for the rest of the league.
5. Milk Milk Lemonade (3-2; Sean Washington): Just an overall solid performance from this group. It truly does feel great when just about everyone on the roster delivers, and then you stack a tiny margin of victory on it? *Chefs kiss*. Sean finds himself in unfamiliar territory in comparison to last year – a winning record. Time to separate yourself from .500 in week 6.
6. Gettleman’s Hog Mollies (3-2; Jimmy Campbell): I do not think Jimmy needs to hit the panic button, but I do think he needs to be concerned. This team hasn’t cleared 100pts since week 2 and has dropped two of their last three. I think there is still a lot of promise here, but promise needs to turn into positive results.
7. Sparta Waffle Eaters (3-2; Josh Tucci): Josh FINALLY has a decent week – and not only that – but Josh WON AGAIN! 3-in-a-row from this crew of misfits. Absolutely, unbelievable. Some guys just have all the luck, huh? Let’s see how long lady-luck continues to last.
8. IHOP for Touchdowns (2-3; Pat Masur): After 3 weeks of unfortunate matchups, it just seemed like Pat was going to be sucked into the depths of the Power Rankings; like every season. But he was not to be denied, not on this Sunday. Pat’s bad luck hasn’t completely gone away though; Nico Collins is now on IR.
9. The Nightman Cometh (2-3; Craig Stalowski): The Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase double-dip combo almost delivered everything Craig needed for dub #3 of the season; its just a shame that the rest of this group got lost on the way to their week 5 matchups. Truly a tough loss to handle whilst watching MNF with beads of sweat down your forehead. In the words of Bill, “we’re on to Cincinatti”.
10. Team Maxson (2-3; Johnathan Maxson): This team just cannot get it together recently. The preceding two weeks were met with heartbreaking loss, followed by an underwhelming performance and third straight loss. John looks to snap this unfortunate streak against Sean in week 6.
11. K9 Dawg Pound (2-3; Nick Calabrase): Nick was consistently bad to start the year, and now, in the last two weeks, has decided to be consistently mid. In fact Nick is SO consistent, he scored the same amount two-weeks-in-a-row to give him his first winning streak of the season. Atta boy, let’s go for 108.7 again.
12. Fantasy Football Team (0-5; Steve Katz): Steve’s team defied the odds in week 6 whilst still falling to 0-5. With much of Steve’s starters on BYE, there was little hope, but this team put together just under 130pts in week 5 – landing as the 2nd best team of the week. Damn shame Steve’s team faced the best team of the week. In actuality, based on PA, the best team in the BFL is anyone playing Steve. That’s truly rough. Some advice for you in your meme, Steve…
