Power RankingsLottery ResultPost-Draft
Welcome to the first edition of this year's Power Rankings, and congratulations to everyone on completing another electric draft! During the season, I will release new Power Rankings to this page every week on Tuesdays or Wednesdays recapping the prior week and outlining the state of the league. Rather than plug our league's data into some online formulaic calculator, I'm going to base these rankings on my pure unadulterated opinion. Obviously, you may have different opinions than me, that's fantasy football. However, I think it'll be more fun/engaging to prove me right or wrong over the course of the season than to simply regurgitate what AI and math have to say. With that said, check out where your team stands after the draft below!
21
▲1Sean
Sean took advantage of some favorable lottery luck to select the 2nd pick in the draft, securing the right draft Bijan Robinson at the 1.02. Then, both AJ Brown and Trey McBride fell to him at the 2-3 turn, completing one of the best Big 3s in the league. The rest of Sean's team has solid RB depth, shots at WR upside, and amazing QB value snagging Caleb Williams in the 9th round! We'll see how things shake out, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Sean near the top of the standings early in the season.
12
▼1Hogan
Like Sean, Hogan's ranking is mainly a reflection of his top 3. Gibbs, Bowers, and Collins is probably the best Big 3 in the league. Add on Drake Maye in the 5th round and Hogan could very easily have a top 5 player at 4 positions. Hogan is below Sean only because there's a question mark at RB2, and it might not even matter if Gibbs has the season I think he will. Still, one Kyren Williams injury and it could be GGs for the league.
103
▲7Jack
Jack had a strong draft and came out with plenty of upside at every position. He could finish the season with a top-5 player at every position, but it's entirely possible his often-injured roster gets hit with the bug for another year. If that were to happen, I'm not sure he has the depth to make another deep playoff run as is.
54
▲1Nate
My draft went almost entirely according to plan, so if the season doesn't go as planned, I'm a chud who sucks at fantasy football. The way I see it, I drafted a team that will either compete for the championship or finish in last, but I'm done drafting for 5th place! Now that he's on my team though, Puka is a great stand up guy who clearly did nothing wrong...
95
▲4Matthew
Holy Reddit draft! Matthew executed a dramatic switch in strategy, opting to pick every player steaming up r/fantasyfootball draft boards after going triple RB rather than burning an early round pick on Josh Allen. Only time will tell if the reddit-darling WR room will get the job done, but I had a blast watching this plan unfold.
86
▲2Devin
If things go right for Devin, they will likely go very right. If things go wrong for Devin, they could go very wrong. Devin took bets on talented players who disappointed last year in Saquon and JJettas, then doubled down by drafting two more of their teammates. The rest of the roster is filled with very talented players with uncertainty or injury concerns. If the depth pieces stay healthy and he finds a reliable TE, Devin could easily prove to be a contender for the title.
77
—Alex
Apparently Alex and I had opposite draft strategies. He ended up taking many players I didn't want, and the same can be said about my team and his fades. Shoutout to “the curse”, because if it strikes again this year and my RBs go down with injuries, Alex holds the requisite handcuffs to capitalize.
38
▼5Nathan
When they zig, Nathan zags, going Chase, Nabers, Rice in a draftroom that was hungry to select any RB with a pulse. The RB room may look like a rag-tag band of lottery tickets now, but if just 1 or 2 of them hit, this team could be in for a deep playoff run.
119
▲2Danny
I thought Danny got off to an awesome start through the first half of the draft. He'd be higher on this list if I could say I felt the same about the second half. However, assuming health, Danny could be laughing all the way to the bank on the back of another historic CMC season.
1210
▲2Ethan
Ethan had his UGA bulldogs sniped by Alex twice, but Amon-Ra falling all the way to the 1.09 is a fair consolation prize. I like the WRs on this team, but I'm nervous about this RB situation. Ethan will need some speedy recoveries from Jeanty and Henderson to round out his starting lineup.
411
▼7Chey
Chey logged on to get JSN back on the team after a stellar season as the runner-up last year. He then shored up the RB room and took the most sought after player in JFL history, Josh Allen. Then he took a TE. Then he autodrafted another one. Then he autodrafted another one again. Even so, I don't hate this team at all! All I see is a very solid starting lineup with an opportunity to convert some extra TEs into solid FLEX players.
612
▼6Alexei
Alexei autodrafted his way to a great start, taking two studs at both RB and WR. Then he autodrafted Josh Jacobs in the fifth... only time will tell if that's a steal or a bust. After that, the real Alexei logged on to draft the dynamic unc TE duo of Kelce and Kittle. This ranking has a lot to do with the Jacobs uncertainty, but it could easily rise if news breaks and Alexei finds himself with an RB1 drafted in the 5th round.
