One Cat on Top!

Looks like my tiny grill has more fire than you expected.

After a predictably weird Week 1 of Fantasy Football, it’s Chris and his squad Bryant’s Tiny Grill who sit atop the Power Rankings. He didn’t post the highest score of the week, but a strong Roster Score (2nd overall) pushed him above the rest. His QB combo alone cooked up 55 points, proving that sometimes the tiniest grill still gets the job done. The question is: can this cat keep the apron on and stay head grill master?

At the other end, we find Corey. Pitt of Dispair stumbled out of the gate with just 44.54 points. When your ticket to the fantasy football dance is Tua and the Miami Dolphins, despair comes free with admission. Toss in Ja’Marr Chase barely cracking 4 points, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for one truly miserable week. Rest up, Corey. You’ve earned a week of horizontal living.

But let’s give flowers where they’re due: Scott’s Captain Morgan put up the highest point total of the week (173.74). Not bad for a team projected middle of the pack in Roster Score. Did rebranding away from that first cursed team name unlock some hidden power? I’m not saying yes… but I’m not saying no either.

And how about Kory’s The Halestorm? Ranked 11th in the preseason, he stormed all the way into the top four this week. On the flip side, last year’s CHAMP tumbled five spots to land at 11th this week. A gentle reminder to the league: don’t do bathroom drugs, kids.

As we step into week two, a friendly reminder. Fantasy Football is about fun. It’s easy to think that words I type into my phone to a bunch of avatars in iMessage don’t really matter. But they do. Those words reach other human beings and part of being mature is realizing that others matter the same way I matter. If you would’t like it said to you, maybe don’t say it to others. Have fun, but let’s turn the ‘awful dial’ a little bit to the left if you don’t mind.

The rest of this week’s Power Rankings are below!
