Week 1 Power Rankings

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

The auto draft extraordinaire proved to the league that despite having his team chosen for him by the league, Silly Nannies has excellent team management skills had put those on full display during Week 1 of the King of the Shack Fantasy Football season. Not only did Silly Nannies win this week, but they did so in convincing fashion with a 201-119 victory over Favre Dollar Footlong. Jake's Silly Nannies were led this week by veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (28 points) and workhouse running back DeAngelo Williams (34 points). Combined both players scored nearly half of the total points that Favre Dollar Footlong was able to muster up, giving Silly Nannies the victory and the number one spot in this weeks power rankings. Despite only receiving 3 points from his #1 scoring option Adrian Peterson, Silly Nannies scored the highest number of points this week and will look to continue the dominance heading into next weeks matchup with Juan Too Many.

2.  Team Prime 1-0 (Last: 6) (This Week: Suh Girls One Cup)

Team Prime showed up in Week 1 and showed up in a big way! With dominated scores from every aspect of the roster, Team Prime easily outlasted reigning champion Hernandez Hitmen by a score of 195-164, earning Tyler the #2 position in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. With 10 out of his 14 players putting up double digit points, it was clear that Team Prime had done some scouting prior to the beginning of the season, which allowed for the optimal lineup to be set for his week 1 victory. Led by Russell Wilson's favorite target Doug Baldwin (24 points) Team Prime cruised to victory with the strong support of cast members such as Alex Smith (27 points) and Dwayne Allen (17 points). Although the loss of Keenan Allen for the entire season will leave its sting, Team Prime's bench is loaded with points and potential and it will be but a breeze for Tyler to substitute in a replacement and continue racking up the points.

3.   Ballz Deep!  1-0 (Last: 10) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)

Not many saw this coming from the week one box scores, except for one...Matt Kippley! Ballz Deep put down the hurt during his Week 1 matchup with Juan Too Many, defeating Josh by a score of 197-141. This came as a shock for many, as the questionable draft strategy by Ballz Deep! landed them in the #10 spot coming into week one, but due to the strong performance and bright outlook for the weeks to come, Ballz Deep! jumps up to the #3 spot in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Led by a variety of strong performances from Amari Cooper (21 points) Danny Woodhead (22 points) and C.J Anderson (29 points) Ballz Deep! was able to build a sizable lead from the get go this week and maintained it throughout the weekend. To solidify the victory, Ballz Deep! relied on A.J Green (36 points) to put Juan Too Many in the dust and cruise to a Week 1 victory. This week will prove a tough test again Gronkemon Go, as two powerhouses will clash in a Week 2 matchup.

4. - Suh Girls One Cup 1-0 (Last: 4) (This Week: Team Prime)

Zac got off on the right track in Week 1, taking the first step towards getting back into the playoffs and making a run at the King of the Shack Championship. Although the victory was not easy, a win is a win and Suh Girls One Cup's 175-166 victory over Juan Direction put him in our #4 spot in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Despite only receiving a combined ten points from Todd Gurley (5 points) and Tyrod Taylor (5 points) Suh Girls One Cup was still able to defeat Juan Direction behind the arm of Andrew Luck (35 points) and the legs of Theo Riddick (27 points) who would have guessed!? While the quarterback position still looms questions about the consistency of Suh Girls One Cup, it is hard to argue with the results, and once the L.A. Rams get Gurley going, there will be no ceiling on the potential of this team.

5. O'Brees Wan Kenobi 1-0 (Last: 9) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

The upset is complete! Coming into the week, O'Brees Wan Kenobi was ranked at #9 heading into the matchup with #1 Gronkemon Go, but after a shocking victory, Juan jumps up into the #5 position for this weeks King of the Shack Power rankings and will look to carry the momentum into his upcoming matchup with Hernandez Hitmen. Defeating Gronkemon Go was a narrow victory, as O'Brees Wan Kenobi mustered out a 175-170 victory and relied heavily on running backs DeMarco Murray (22 points) and Carlos Hyde (22 points) to carry the rest of the team. Capping off the impressive week, Drew Brees (30 points) led the way with 4 TD passes against the Raiders and proved to be the deciding factor in O'Brees Wan Kenobi's vicotry over Justin. With Dez Bryant only scoring 1 point this week, Juan will look for a stronger output to continue his winning ways in Week 2.

6. Gronkemon Go 0-1 (Last: 1) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

After assembling arguably the most impressive 2016 draft class, Gronkemon Go was done in by a few key injuries to players, Chris Ivory and Rob Gronkowski. This resulted in a crushing 170-175 defeat against nemesis O'Brees Wan Kenobi dropping Justin down to the #6 spot in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. With the injuries holding players out of Gronkemon Go's lineup, it was evident that the rest of his squad would need to perform at a high level. Matthew Stafford (25 points) proved that this is the year for the rejuvenated lions offense. However, it was Gary Barnidge (0 points) and Emmanuel Sanders (9 points) who under-performed this week leading to defeat for Gronkemon Go. Looking ahead, the return of Rob Gronkowski is imminent, and once that takes place, Justin should rise back up to the top of the standings and prove his fantasy football skill.

7. Juan Direction 0-1 (Last: 5) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Juan Direction went in the wrong direction during the Week 1 matchup against Suh Girls One Cup, falling in defeat by a score of 166-75 and starting off the season on the wrong foot with an 0-1 record. This drops Juan Direction to the #7 spot in this weeks Power Rankings, but looking ahead, the future for this team still remains bright with multiple victories looming ahead. Luke was lead this past week by an incredible performance from Antonio Brown (32 points) who continues to prove why he was the #1 pick in most fantasy football formats this season. Shaky quarterback play from Eli Manning and Jimmy Garoppolo hurt Juan Direction in the long run of his matchup, but it was the measly 1 point scored by John Brown of the Arizona Cardinals that eventually led the succumbing of defeat against Zac's squad. Luke has another tough matchup this week against Favre Dollar Footlong, but will look to set the perfect lineup to guarantee victory for himself in Week 2.

8. Hernandez Hitmen 0-1 (Last: 7) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

The defending champion of the King of the Shack Fantasy Football league got off to a poor start in his request for defending his championship and proving his dominance once again. With a opening matchup against Team Prime, a victory seemed possible, but Hernandez Hitmen fell by a score of 164-195 dropping Noah to 0-1 to start the year and down to #8 in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Despite receiving a huge boost from Brandin Cooks (33 points) Hernandez Hitmen could not even gather up enough points to make the matchup with Team Prime close. Poor quarterback play was the question coming into the season, and the issue was made known in week one as Philip Rivers (13 points) and Ryan Tannehill (14 points) were only able to find the endzone once in their matchups. Eddie Lacy (8 points) again hurt Hernandez Hitmen and makes the second round draft pick a tough play for the upcoming Week 2 matchup. Hernandez Hitmen will have to rely on big performances from his wide receivers in Week 2 if he has any hope of qualifying for this years playoffs.

9. Juan Too Many 0-1 (Last: 8) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

There was not much that Juan Too Many could do in the Week 1 matchup against Ballz Deep! falling by a score of 141-197 simply states that Ballz Deep! had an incredible Week 1 performance from his team, and truthfully, no matter how many changes Juan Too Many would have made to his lineups it still would not have been enough. Devonte Freeman (8 points) proved to be the biggest Week 1 disappointment for Josh after having averaging about 20 points per week last season. This was followed up by Thomas Rawls (8 points) which totaled 16 points for Juan Too Many's starting running back positions. A recipe for defeat every time. Josh will look to revamp his roster, and may have to do so via the free agency wire, but should have a good chance at finding a victory in Week 2 versus Silly Nannies.

10. Favre Dollar Footlong (Last: 3) (This Week: Juan Direction)

Last but not least, Favre Dollar Footlong falls to the #10 spot in the Week 1 King of the Shack Power Rankings. After inching over the 100 point mark, thanks in large part to Ben Roethlisberger (22 points) on monday night, Nathan was able to salvage what he could out of a dismal Week 1 performance by his team. Lets put this into perspective. Had Favre Dollar Footlong put Jay Cutler (11 points) into the lineup for Week 1, he would have been the 5th leading scorer for the team...and that is saying something! Nathan will really have to do some studying for his Week 2 matchup with Juan Direction in hopes of addressing the quarterback and running back deficiency that is at hand. The saints racked up 34 points in there opening game, but Mark Ingram (9 points) was hardly able to contribute as Brees and Co. took to the air in their opening game. Better luck next week!
