Since 17% of our league went golfing on Saturday I would like to share with you a little story..... So Todd and myself put a friendly wager of $5 on the line for 18 holes at Richland Country Club....There we were 15 holes down and just 3 to go and it was all squared up as we teed up on hole 16. Neither of us hit great tee shots but we still set ourselves up nicely down in the fairway, me sitting 2 and hitting 3 and Todd sitting 3 and hitting 4..... I was about 135 yards away and I put my ball up there deep on the green with a long birdie put to go. Todd was sitting out from about 100 yards and sure enough, he sank that shot for a birdie! WHAT A SHOT! It was his longest shot ever made... But I still had a birdie put of my own. Well I missed it and got my par.... So we get to hole 17 with Todd up 1..... Fast forward to the green on 17... I am sitting about 20 feet away for a par and Todd about 15 feet away for his par.... Before we hit we both have a quick chuckle about how this is a very important putt.... So I step up, look it over, get my read. And knock it in with a dramatic slow roll in the side door of the cup. Todd missed and we were now tied with just one hole left to play..... We both set ourselves up nicely for a shot at the green on 18.... I hit mine long but still had a very long putt for birdie.... Todd hit his just short of the green and was able to chip it just a foot from the flag.... So Todd had his par and there I was 50 feet from the cup with a chance to win the game. Or 2 putt and send it to a playoff. So there was a lot of pressure on this putt. And anyone who knows RCC 18 hole would know that when the pin is in the front and your up on top of the green, it is not a easy put. Well, I lined up the ball, gave it my luckiest poke and sure enough that damn ball went right in the hole from 50 feet out and I beat Todd 81 to 82.... Just wanted to share that story. Now to football stuff.

POWER RANKINGS
I came up with a different formula this week. This formula will really shake up the rankings this week. By using the position rankings, i added up every ones top QB, TE and there top 3 WR's and top 3 RB's... I did top 3 because that plays into the flex slots and i feel i can get a overall grade of your teams better..... I will also be using a 5 point ranking system to represent your position grades. Ranking system is as follow:
Excellent
Good
Moderate
Poor
Bad
#1 Eric 3-0
QB - Excellent
RB's - Excellent
WR's- Excellent
TE - Excellent
Good thing for most of us. Is that the Rams have a hard schedule from here on out and Gurley's production should be on the down slope. But it is hard to see that Eric is stacked across the board using this formula. Eric also loves to trade, so might want to make him some offers for some of is good ass players. I bet he will work a deal with you.
---------------------------------------
#2 Chris 2-1
QB - Excellent
RB's - Moderate
WR's- Excellent
TE - Excellent
I am lucky so far to have the best QB and TE in the game. So that really helps me out when using formula like this.... I am weak at RBs and would be looking to deal a WR. Maybe even Fuller who looks to be ready to make his season debut here this week or the next. But things finally seem to be looking up in the fantasy football world for the Silverback Hyenas. Last year wasnt so great for them but this could be there year to get the NUT back.
-------------------------------
#3 Andy 1-2
QB - Poor
RB's - Excellent
WR's- Moderate
TE - Excellent
Some might be surprised to see Andy in the 3rd slot with a record of 1-2. But let me re assure you about how good Andy's team has been. He has allowed the most points in the league while scoring basically the third most in the league. I say basically because he is only behind Derek by .3.... Andy has a very solid team, but his main weakness is his QB. But his QB is Carr and we all think he is much better then the 18th ranked QB in the league. Look for Andy to be very tough to beat in the coming weeks.
------------------------------------
#4 Scott 1-2
QB - Bad
RB's - Excellent
WR's- Good
TE - Bad
Scott makes his way into the top 4 this week with great RB and WR play. As you can see, his QB and TE need some work. Cam Newton just has not been getting it done this year and its a major let down for his stock holders.... Scott has some decent RBs which i feel people should start making offers for. Freeman, Lamar Miller, Gore and Gillislie are all ranked inside the top 22.... Know body else but Andy has 3 RB's in top 22 and Scott has 4! There are several teams who need RB's and if the right offers are made. We could see a trade done this week with Scotty's team.
--------------------------------------
#5 Nathan 1-2
QB - Poor
RB's - Moderate
WR's- Good
TE - Good
Nathan probably does not feel good sitting at 1-2 but there are 8 total teams at 1-2. So its any ones game. Nate is also super stoked to see TY finally do some good. He didnt just do some good. HE WENT OFF!!! Nate has potential for some trades that could help his team. But he has the 9th best RB and WR so that is nice. He is some what balanced across the board. His QB is 16th in league. I expect Tyrod Taylor to get added this week. His schedule is super easy from here on out and some teams whos QBs are not doing so hot might want to try Taylor out.
------------------------------------
#6 JR 2-1
QB - Excellent
RB's - Moderate
WR's- Bad
TE - Excellent
When owning Brees and Kelce it is no surprise to see Excellent by there positions for this formula.... His WR's are the thing JR needs improving on the most. Pryor just has not performed like we all thought he would. Baldwin might of gotten injured(Expect Richardson to step up for Seahawks) along with Sproles. Sproles is actually out for the year. JR better hope Amendola and Nelson pick up there WR play if he wants to keep winning. He sits tied with third best record in the league but only ranked 6th. We will see if he can pull out a victory this week to go to 3-1.
--------------------------------------------------------------
#7 Derek 3-0
QB - Excellent
RB's - Moderate
WR's- Bad
TE - Good
Hard to believe a 3-0 team with a 86% chance of making playoffs would be #2 behind Eric not 7th... That's why i like to change up the rankings formula from time to time to get a different view of every ones teams. Derek has the best RB in the game right now in Kareem Hunt. But his second and third best backs are ranked 26 and 34. That really brings his RB core down quite a bit. His RB core only ranks 9th in our league when adding up the top 3 backs on every ones teams. He has decent QB and TE. But i feel that if this team snagged up another top RB then it could be lights out for the league.
----------------------------------------
#8 Trevor 1-2
QB - Good
RB's - Bad
WR's- Excellent
TE - Bad
Hard to deny that Trevor has probably the best receiving core with Tyreke Hill, AJ Green and Beckam jr.... But he might want to think about trading one of them for a RB. Trevor's RB core ranks dead last in are league at the moment and his TE is also not so great. I think a RB and TE for one of Trevor's WR's could bode well for both sides. Very curious to see if anyone trys to snag up one of Trevor's great WR.
--------------------------------
#9 Brandon 1-2
QB - Excellent
RB's - Good
WR's- Bad
TE - Good
With 2 blues and a green, I am very surprised to see Brandon come in at #9. It must be because his WR rank 11th in are league as a whole. He is sitting on the 4th best QB and the 3rd best RB in Howard. Brandon probably is feeling much better about his team then he was at the start of last week after losing David Johnson and Allen Robinson. Brandon did a great job bouncing back to get the win this past week. Lets see if he can snowball that into another victory this week.
-----------------------------------------------
#10 Todd 1-2
QB - Good
RB's - Bad
WR's- Poor
TE - Excellent
We see most the colors of the rainbow here with Todds team. He has great TE in Witten and i personally love his QB in Mariota. But it is his RB's that have really dampered his fantasy season so far. McCoy is just the 12th best RB in league when he should be a top 3 RB.... Having Woodhead go down never helps either. Todd could potentially pull off a trade to get his team fired back up. But there are a lot of 1-2 teams and week 4 and 5 will really start to separate the field. So not everyone has to make sudden moves. Sitting back and seeing what happens could also be benifitial.
----------------------------------------------
#11 Matt 1-2
QB - Good
RB's - Poor
WR's- Poor
TE - Good
Not sure luck is the right word to describe Matt's last week but in a way he did get lucky. The eliminator challenge is very small part of are league but you win lottery tickets for next years draft. Matt had -8 on his defense and some how managed to survive the eliminator. Thanks to Brandin Cooks!..... Matt's RBs and WRs rank pretty low in are league compared to everyone else. He could turn it around if he made a few trades. He might be looking into our fantasy basketball league already.
------------------------------------
#12 Brian 1-2
QB - Poor
RB's - Good
WR's- Bad
TE - Bad
Brian had a rough start to the year. His TE and WR's are some of the lowest in the league. His RB's would be worse but i allowed Ajayi to have a 17 ranking instead of his 36, that first week bye shouldnt hurt Shans team. But Brian is a trader and i am sure he will make something happen just to change things up. If you all have read everyones writeup then you might put all the pieces to the puzzle together to make the most perfect trade this week.
