King of the Shack Power Rankings: Week 7

Week 7 Statistics:

Largest Margin of Victory:

Ballz Deep! +48 points

Smallest Margin of Victory:

Favre Dollar Footlong +8 points

Most Points Scored:

Juan Too Many (199 total points scored)

Least Points Scored:

O'Brees Wan Kenobi (116 total points scored)


Week 7 Current Power Rankings:

#1 - Ballz Deep! 5-2 (Last: 1) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

Ballz Deep! put up another strong performance in Week 7, solidifying his argument for the #1 power ranking spot for the second week in a row, but the gap is slowly shrinking between Ballz Deep! and Everyday I'm Russelin for the top spot. In Week 7, Ballz Deep handily defeated O'Brees Wan Kenobi, 164-116. This came as a surprise to the rest of the league, as the matchup was predicted to be quite close, but in the end it was Balls Deep! who had the depth to come out on top this weekend. Ballz Deep! has now won consecutive matchups thanks in large part to the Bengal offensive attack of A.J Green (30 points) and Jeremy Hill (26 points). Both players erupted in Week 7 and set the tone for the rest of the roster as players such as Spencer Ware (20 points) and C.J Anderson (16 points) both followed in suit with big performances. Ballz Deep! has Everyday I'm Russelin right behind him, and will have to remain perfect throughout to regular season to keep his #1 spot. Coming up, a tough matchup with the red hot Juan Too Many.

#2 - Everyday I'm Russelin 5-2 (Last: 2) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)

I don't think we have ever seen a fantasy football team as strong as Everday I'm Russelin. In all aspects offensively and defensively Justin has acquired the perfect amount of depth to almost ensure victory whether a few players perform poorly or not. In Week 7, Everyday I'm Russelin out matched Rudy Was Offsides by a score of 175-152. While early into the week the outlook was a bit shaky with Brian Hoyer (1 point) getting injured, it was the depth of Everyday I'm Russelin that led Justin back to victory in a crucial matchup with Luke. Everyday I'm Russelin has now won 4 straight matchups with this weeks big performance coming from both David Johnson (24 points) and Rob Gronkowski (19 points). While the bench greatly outperformed his starters in Week 7, Everyday I'm Russelin was able to fend off the feisty Rudy Was Offsides team and pulled out the win. Week 8 will bring a pivotal matchup between Justin and Zac, and with a late season trade by Everyday I'm Russelin to acquire LeGarrette Blount, it could be the winning piece to the puzzle to get Justin his championship.

#3 - Rudy Was Offsides 4-3 (Last: 3) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Despite a Week 7 152-175 loss to Everyday I'm Russelin, Rudy Was Offsides still remains in the #3 position for this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Luke still remains near the top of the league standings, and will have to do a bit of an overhaul to his roster to prove to the league that he has the fight and moxie to keep building a roster worthy of a championship run. In Week 7, Rudy Was Offsides could not have done much more than what the score showed against Everyday I'm Russelin. Many players such as Matt Jones (0 points) Eli Manning (7 points) and Terrelle Pryor Sr. (3 points) all greatly underperformed leading to the demise of Rudy Was Offsides. With many players on BYE this week, and a few key injuries to some players, Luke will need to show his expertise in making the right management calls to hopefully pull out a win in Week 8 against Silly Nannies.

#4 Playing Riddickulously 4-3 (Last: 5) (This Week: Everyday I'm Russelin)

A critical Week 7 loss against Juan Too Many severely hampered Playing Riddickulously's chances of claiming a spot among the top teams of the league, but despite the crushing blow, Zac has now proven to the league that his team is healthy, and full of potential each week to make a deep run into this years King of the Shack Playoffs. Losing by a score of 199-180 in Week 7 stings, but Playing Riddickulously has a huge opportunity to gain ground in Week 8 as he will face off against Everyday I'm Russelin to prove who truly has the fantasy football edge between two brothers. Playing Riddickulously will have to receive stronger performances from both Tight Ends Hunter Henry (2 points) and Colby Fleener (6 points) if he wants to keep up with the strong output of Rob Gronkowski. Additionally, Odell Beckham Jr. (8 points) will need to find the endzone in Week 8 to give Playing Riddickulously the needed boost to hopefully top Everyday I'm Russelin and climb up the league standings.

#5 O'Brees Wan Kenobi 4-3 (Last: 4) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

After a strong 4-0 start, O'Brees Wan Kenobi has now lost three straight matchups dropping him to a 4-3 record and the #5 position in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. O'Brees Wan Kenobi has gone through a stretch against very strong teams and unfortunately has come up short on three straight tries, this past week losing to Ballz Deep! by an embarrassing score of 116-164. There was not much that Juan could have done however, as his team simply did not perform in all areas. DeAndre Hopkins (8 points), recently acquired Lamar Miller (9 points) and Alshon Jeffery (6 points) all needed to perform at a high level, and sadly for O'Brees Wan Kenobi, this did not happen. Juan will have a favorable matchup in Week 8 against Favre Dollar Footlong, but will have to be careful as Nathan just put up 175+ points over the weekend. It will take another strong performance from DeMarco Murray (21 points) and Co. if Juan wants to rebound from this recent slump and keep pace with the rest of the league powers.

#6 - Team Prime 3-4 (Last: 6) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Team Prime's stock is continuing to rise and despite a narrow week 7 loss to Favre Dollar Footlong, Team Prime has positioned himself in a place where he can continue to rise in the league standings and build his roster as he looks to make the King of the Shack Playoffs for the first time. Losing in Week 7 by a score of 172-180 against Favre Dollar Footlong did cost Team Prime some ground that he will have to makeup, but a highly favorable matchup in Week 8 against Hernandez Hitmen should do just the trick as Team Prime will look to move back up to .500. With both Lesean McCoy (Hamstring) and Ezekiel Elliot (BYE) out this past weekend, Team Prime greatly missed their presence on his roster and despite incredible performances from LeGarrette Blount (25 points) and Melvin Gordon (35 points) Tyler still lacked the depth to make up for some poor performances by the rest of his team. The acquisition of Matthew Stafford should make for an interesting trade pickup as Team Prime parts way with the workhouse back Legarrette Blount, but only time will tell if that trade is the missing piece that Team Prime has been waiting for.

#7 Juan Too Many 3-4 (Last: 8) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Juan Too Many broke out in Week 7 with a 199-180 victory over the favored Playing Riddickulously team, due much in large part to performances from Aaron Rodgers (23 points) Mike Evans (29 points) and waiver wire pickup Jack Doyle (22 points) With both Tom Brady (17 points) and Rodgers still playing at a high level, Juan Too Many will look to the rest of his roster to perform each week if Josh is to continue to move up the league rankings and push towards the playoffs. After an upset victory in Week 7, Juan Too Many will set his sights on the top dog, Ballz Deep! and hope to pull off another impressive win in Week 8. The league will wait in hopes of a great matchup.

#8 Favre Dollar Footlong 3-4 (Last: 9) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

Favre Dolalr Footlong very well may have saved his hopes of making the King of the Shack Playoffs this year with a surprising victory over Team Prime in Week 7. While the win was narrow, 180-172, Favre Dollar Footlong did just enough with the weapons he had to earn his 3rd win of the season and move up to the #8 spot in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. While a tough matchup against O'Brees Wan Kenobi awaits in Week 8, and with a plethora of injuries and players on BYE, the outlook does not look promising. However, Favre Dollar Footlong has proven his fantasy football knowledge before and will attempt to win consecutive matchups this coming weekend. Favre Dollar Footlong will need another huge performance from Julio Jones (26 points) who is facing a weak Packers secondary, as well as another upstart performance from Ty Montgomery (22 points) who is proving to be one of the hottest commodities in fantasy football. 

#9 Silly Nannies 3-4 (Last: 7) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

Silly Nannies still stands stable with a 3-4 record headed into Week 8. He is tied for 6th place at the moment, but the matchups are not getting any easier and the losses are beginning to pile up. In Week 7, Silly Nannies embarrassingly handed Hernandez Hitmen his first win of the season and has now last 3 straight matchups to his opponents. The time must be now for Silly Nannies to right the ship and make the correct moves to rise back up in the league standings and a matchup against Rudy Was Offsides in Week 8 will be the perfect opportunity to do just that. The 139-180 loss against Hernandez Hitmen is hard to swallow, and was due in large part to the very poor performances of Terrance West (1 point) Stefon Diggs (3 points) and Pierre Garcon (4 points) Each player will need to step up in Week 8 if Silly Nannies wants a chance of knocking off the favored Rudy Was Offsides.

#10 - Hernandez Hitmen 1-6 (Last: 10) (This Week: Team Prime)

Finally...Hernandez Hitmen breaks out of his prison cell and lays claim to his first victory of the season against Silly Nannies by a score of 180-139. Randall Cobb (28 points) is proving to disappointed fantasy football owners around the world that he actaully was worthy of the high draft position and he made Hernandez Hitmen a happy owner in Week 7 with a strong performance. Noah will look to build off of his first win as he faces Team Prime in Week 8. While the playoffs are far out of the question, Hernandez Hitmen will look to Delanie Walker (21 points) and Golden Tate (15 points) to help gain back some of the pride that Hernandez Hitmen has lost over the course of the last 7 weeks.

King of the Shack Power Rankings: Week 6

Week 6 Statistics:

Largest Margin of Victory

Ballz Deep! +54 points

Smallest Margin of Victory

Playing Riddickulously +10 points

Most Points Scored

Playing Riddickulously 186 total points scored

Least Points Scored

Juan Too Many 105 total points scored


Week 6 Current Power Rankings

#1 Ballz Deep 4-2 (Last: 3) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

There is a new #1! Ballz Deep! claims the #1 power ranking position in this weeks release after his incredibly cosistent effort throughout the season, hoisting him to a 4-2 record after a defeat of Favre Dollar Footlong by a score of 165-111. While Ballz Deep! is tied with 5 other for the best record in the league, his Week 7 matchup will be an excellent opportunity for Matt to prove that he is worthy of the #1 spot in the league heading into the final stretch of the season. With the surprising play of Marcus Mariota (27 points) and Matt Ryan (21 points) Ballz Deep! has been able to overcome adversity from injury and looks poised to make a run at the championship.

#2 Everyday I'm Russelin 4-2 (Last: 4) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

After a dismal start to the 2016-2017 King of the Shack season, it was only a matter of time before Everyday I'm Russeling got back on track and moved towards the top of the league. A few more wins and Justin could blow open the league standings and stand alone as the front runner for the Shack Daddy trophy as the regular season nears its end. After a 183-141 victory over Silly Nannies in Week 6, Everyday I'm Russelin proved that the depth of his roster is unparalleled to any other team. With David Johnson (34 points) running wild over the league, and Rob Gronkowski (29 points) back in the swing of things, all Justin will have to do is manage precisely each week and he should come out on top every time. Week 7 will test his might, as he faces off against Rudy Was Offsides (4-2).

#3 Rudy Was Offsides 4-2 (Last: 2) (This Week: Everyday I'm Russelin)

Rudy Was Offsides continues to impress league skeptics, as Luke has lead his team to an incredible 4-2 record and is now tied for the top spot in the league standings. After a 151-105 win over Juan Too Many, Rudy Was Offsides proved his much improved roster as Terrelle Pryor (28 points) and Le'Veon Bell (18 points) led the way in Week 6. Looking ahead, the loss of Ben Roethlisberger will hurt the stock of Antonio Brown, however with Le'Veon Bell taking on a heavier workload, Rudy Was Offsides will have to lean on the rest of his roster to pick up the slack to ensure victory. Watch for a great matchup between Luke and Justin in Week 7.

#4 O'Brees Wan Kenobi 4-2 (Last: 1) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

O'Brees Wan Kenobi proved his mortality last week, and with another consecutive loss in Week 6, O'Brees Wan Kenobi drops from the previous #1 spot down to our #4 ranking for the Week 6 King of the Shack Power Rankings. O'Brees Wan Kenobi lost to Team Prime 123-148 in Week 6 and is left grasping for answers as to how to turn around this sudden slide. While Drew Brees (32 points) clearly has things covered at the QB position, it appears as though the rest of the team is under performing. DeMarco Murray (12 points) was off of his typical 20+ point average and Carlos Hyde (5 points) left his matchup with an injury which potentially could spell disaster for O'Brees Wan Kenobi in Week 7 against Ballz Deep!

#5 - Playing Riddickulously 4-2 (Last: 5) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

Playing Riddickulously rounds out the last of the 4-2 teams, but could quite possibly be loaded with the most potential of the five teams that are currently tied for first place. After trading away Eddie Lacy (ankle) who has now been ruled out for several weeks, Playing Riddickulously was able to steal Carson Wentz and fortify his quarterback regime, allowing him to narrowly defeat Hernandez Hitmen in Week 6 by a score of 186-176. With Jameis Winston now in position to return in Week 7 after a buy, look for Playing Riddickulously to ride the arms of both Tyrod Taylor (19 points) and Winston, as well as the leaning on the hands of Odell Beckham Jr. (40 points) to be the deciding factor in future matchups. Zac will look to take down Juan Too Many in Week 7, and fight for the top spot in a competitive league. 

#6 Team Prime 3-3 (Last: 8) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

After a shaky start to the 2016-2017 season, Team Prime seems to have his legs back under him and has improved his record to .500 with a chance to climb among the leaders with an important matchup coming in Week 7 against Favre Dollar Footlong. In Week 6, Team Prime defeated O'Brees Wan Kenobi by a score of 148-123. This was thanks in large part to 3 TD's from Lesean McCoy (34 points) and another great performance from Rookie Ezekiel Elliot (18 points). Looking ahead to Week 7, there are still plenty of flaws in Team Prime's roster. He must receive more consistent play from both Carson Palmer (12 points) and Alex Smith (8 points) as well as at the WR position, Doug Baldwin (7 points) must come alive in the second half of the season if Team Prime wants to survive!

#7 Silly Nannies 3-3 (Last: 6) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Silly Nannies fell in defeat to Everyday I'm Russeling by a score of 183-141 in Week 6, dropping him again in the King of the Shack Power Rankings down to the #7 position. Terrance West (27 points) looked a little silly sitting on the bench as he could have been the deciding factor in a lopsided loss to Everyday I'm Russelin.  Silly Nannies will look to rebound in Week 7 against the lowest of the lows in Hernandez Hitmen and should be able to get back on track and put his name back in the mix of the top teams. It will take strong play from Cam Newton (26 points) throughout the rest of the regular season and will need to continue to look for a replacement for injured Adrian Peterson if he wants a shot at the title this season.

#8 Juan Too Many 2-4 (Last: 7) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)

The tide is slowly changing from bad to worse for Juan Too Many, and with a 2-4 record and less than half of a season to play, Juan Too Many must right the ship immediately if he wants any chance of repeating his playoff run from a year ago. While Tom Brady (27 points) being the only bright spot on a very dim Week 6, Juan Too Many fell to Rudy Was Offsides by a score of 151-105 dropping his record to 2-4 on the regular season. Aaron Rodgers (11 points) and Devonta Freeman (8 points) will have to show their stuff in Week 7 if Juan Too Many wants any chance of turning the season around and hopefully making the playoffs.

#9 - Favre Dollar Footlong 2-4 (Last: 9) (This Week: Team Prime)

Favre Dollar Footlong continues to be one of the biggest disappointments of the 2016-2017 season. After drafting arguably the strongest team in the league this season, Nathan has fell victim to both injuries and players under performing the entire season which has left him standing with a 2-4 record and a hope that is quickly fading. After a 111-165 defeat in Week 6 to Ballz Deep! Nathan was left searching for answers at the QB position as Ben Roethlisberger (knee) has now undergone surgery and will be out for the next few weeks. While Dak Prescott is now on a BYE, Favre Dollar Footlong will have to make some moves in hopes of turning this season into somewhat of a moral victory.

#10 - Hernandez Hitmen 0-6 (Last: 10) (This Week: Team Prime)

Hernandez Hitmen seems to be looking to set the record for most consecutive losses as he now drops to 0-6 on the season and has no hope of making the 2016-2017 playoffs. Time to find another job, eat a sandwhich and prepare for next season.

King of the Shack Power Rankings: Week 5

Week 5 Statistics:

Largest Margin of Victory:

Playing Riddickulously +53 points

Smallest Margin of Victory:

Team Prime +31 points

Most Points Scored:

Playing Riddickulously 222 total points

Least Points Scored:

Favre Dollar Footlong 117 total points


Week 5 Updated Power Rankings

#1 - O'Brees Wan Kenobi 4-1 (Last: 1) (This Week: Team Prime)


Although a loss was a result of this weeks matchup with Playing Riddickulously, O'Brees Wan Kenobi still holds the leagues best record (4-1) and is one win away from claiming the $20 prize through the first half of the season. O'Brees Wan Kenobi fell in the Week 5 Rivalry matchup to Playing Riddickulously by a score of 169-222, a blowout loss, handing O'Brees Wan Kenobi his first loss of the season. A strong start to the week by Carlos Hyde (22 points) seemed to put O'Brees Wan Kenobi in a comfortable lead on Thursday night against Zac, and an incredible performance from Martellus Bennett (30 points) gave Juan a clear path to a 5-0 record, but it was Playing Riddickulously who overwhelmed O'Brees Wan Kenobi with 222 points and all but crushing any hopes that Juan had for an undefeated season. Still, O'Brees Wan Kenobi remains in our #1 position for this weeks rankings and will look to get back to his winning way this coming week against Team Prime.

#2 Rudy Was Offsides 3-2 (Last: 4) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

Coming off a crushing defeat in Week 4, Rudy Was Offsides exploded in Week 5 with 209 points in a blowout victory over rival Ballz Deep!, improving his record to 3-2 and moving him to the #2 spot in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Luke dominated every area of his matchup with Ballz Deep! receiving huge performances from Philip Rivers (26 points) Le'Veon Bell (23 points) and T.Y Hilton (33 points) which put the cherry on top for a 209-160 win over the dangerous Ballz Deep! Rudy Was Offsides boasts an extremely potent squad of Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell and T.Y Hilton who at any moment can put up 20+ points on any given weekend. Rudy Was Offsides addressed his main quarterback issue, acquiring Philip Rivers from Hernandez Hitmen, and will look to solidify his remaining roster positions as the playoffs near closer.  The historical season continues for Rudy Was Offsides, as he now can win a share of the $20 prize with a victory next weekend and a loss from O'Brees Wan Kenobi. Next up, Juan Too Many!

#3 Ballz Deep! 3-2 (Last: 2) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

The magic ran out for Ballz Deep! in Week 5 against Rudy Was Offsides, as he fell in defeat to Luke by an embarassing score of 209-160 and dropping Ballz Deep! to the #3 position in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Ballz Deep! had great performances from Marcus Mariota (30 points) and Amari Cooper (27 points) but was done in by horrific performances by A.J Green (9 points) Jeremy Hill (1 point) and C.J Anderson (9 points) These performances proved to be the deciding factor in Ballz Deep!'s loss to Rudy Was Offsides, and will most likely play a factor in his rematch with Luke in Week 10. Looking forward to Week 6, with a loss from both Rudy Was Offsides and O'Brees Wan Kenobi, Ballz Deep can grab a share of the prize payout of $20 for the best record through the first half of the season. To do this, Ballz Deep! will have to defeat Favre Dollar Footlong.

#4 Everyday I'm Russelin 3-2 (Last: 5) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Everyday I'm Russelin is now arguably the most powerful and potent team in the league, and don't let that 3-2 record fool you! After an incredible 198-155 victory over the lowly Hernandez Hitmen, Everyday I'm Russelin proved once again why he is rising to the top of the King of the Shack Power Rankings, and has made himself eligible to win a share of the $20 prize next week with a loss and some good ole fashion luck. With arguably the trade of the year, Everyday I'm Russelin was able to acquire Brandon Marshall in return for two bench players, giving Justin a highly touted and highly favored lineup each week. In Week 5, Everyday I'm Russelin used a balanced attack behind the strength of workhouse RB David Johnson (32 points) and newly acquired WR Brandon Marshall (25 points). Heading into Week 6, Justin will have a primetime matchup with Silly Nannies (3-2) as the two will face off to try to climb into the top of the league standings at the midway point of the season.

#5 Playing Riddickulously 3-2 (Last: 7) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

The Week 5 rivalry matchup between Playing Riddicklously and O'Brees Wan Kenobi turned out to be actually ridiculous. After stirring things up in the trade market in Week 3 & 4, Playing Riddickulously proved he knew what he was doing as he put up 222 points in a 222-169 victory over the previously undefeated O'Brees Wan Kenobi. Playing Riddickulously was able to put up these numbers due to some great pickups on the waiver wire this week, the Titans DST (13 points) showed that despite past struggles, the defense is back in Tennessee. Along with that, Playing Riddickulously received great outputs from Odell Beckham Jr. (16 points) and Theo Riddick (25 points) which affirmed the common theme throughout this team as only 4 players scored under 10 points the entire weekend. Zac will attempt to win now two in a row as he faces the joke of the league Hernandez Hitmen. With a win, and some luck from surrounding teams, Playing Riddickulously could find himself in first place with a share of the $20 prize at the seasons midway point. 

#6 Silly Nannies 3-2 (Last: 3) (This Week: Everyday I'm Russelin)

Silly Nannies continue to be a mystery in the 2016-2017 King of the Shack Fantasy Football season, currently standing with a 3-2 record, the pre-season favorite now sits in the middle of the pack with no clear direction on his heading. In Week 5, Silly Nannies lost a favorable matchup to Team Prime, by an score of 119-150. While this is only Silly Nannies second loss of the season, it does come at an untimely point in the season for Jake as the mid-season mark is already here. Silly Nannies had Blake Bortles (BYE) and Cam Newton (Concussion) out in his Week 5 matchup with Team Prime, and he will hopefully welcome back their services in Week 6, and more importantly in Week 10 as he looks for revenge against Team Prime. The injuries are piling up and its time for Silly Nannies to prove whether he has what it takes to change his course and get back on track. Week 6 will not be any easier as he faces the favored Everyday I'm Russelin.

#7 Juan Too Many 2-3 (Last: 9) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

Watch out! Brady is back and Juan Too Many is ready to make his push for the 2016-2017 King of the Shack Playoffs! With a convincing win in Week 5 over rival Favre Dollar Footlong, Juan Too Many earned his second win of the season and will look to make it two in a row against Rudy Was Offsides in Week 6. Tom Brady (29 points) and Aaron Rodgers (15 points) will now look to lead the charge as they did in the Week 5 166-117 victory over Favre Dollar Footlong, and with Devonta Freeman (20 points) getting back into the swing of things, Juan Too Many has emerged as a wild card that you will not want to face going down the second half stretch of the season. While heading into Week 6 pits Juan Too Many against the favored Rudy Was Offsides, Josh will attempt to again play the underdog role and begin his climb to the top.

#8 - Team Prime 2-3 (Last: 8) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

Although Team Prime pulled off a shocking win in Week 5 versus Silly Nannies, he remains in the #8 spot for this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. The rest of the league is going to want to keep a close eye on Team Prime, who despite having nearly 6 players on BYE this past week, Team Prime was able to rip off a 150-119 victory over the favorite Silly Nannies, earning Team Prime his second win of the season and saving his chances to compete in this years playoffs. Led by rookie sensation Ezekiel Elliot (31 points) Team Prime was able to stave off his rival Silly Nannies despite having Doug Baldwin, Allen Robinson, Alex Smith and Carson Palmer all out of his lineup. There still is a lack in consistency that Team Prime struggles with at the WR position, largely in thanks to Will Fuller (1 point) and Sterling Shepard (3 points) but welcoming back his players off of their BYE week is sure to boost Team Prime's chances of winning in Week 6 against O'Brees Wan Kenobi.


#9 Favre Dollar Footlong 2-3 (Last: 6) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Favre Dollar Footlong appeared to be on top of things in Week 4 when he trampled over Playing Riddickulously and improved to a .500 record. However, a setback occurred in Week 5 in a humiliating loss to Juan Too Many, which resulted in a final score of 117-166. This drops Nathan down to the #9 spot in this weeks Power Rankings, and it is clear that some things need to be addressed in order for Favre Dollar Footlong to regain any momentum. In Week 5, Kirk Cousins (12 points) was outplayed by Dak Prescott (17 points) but it was Prescott that remained on Favre Dollar Footlong's bench. Prescott is an interesting play each week as the rookie continues to stun the skeptics and has led the Cowboys to a 4-1 record. While the numbers aren't often there for Prescott he is a frustrating wild card play that Favre Dollar Footlong will have to decide on. On the bright side, Julian Edelman (8 points) should regain his rapport with Tom Brady and if Julio Jones can show some consistency, Favre Dollar Footlong can still be a factor going down the stretch. A Week 6 showdown with Ballz Deep! will prove just how hungry Favre Dollar Footlong is for a win. 

 #10 Hernandez Hitmen 0-5 (Last: 10) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)

Hmmm...what can you even say about a team that is 0-5 and has little to no chance again in Week 6? Hernandez Hitmen has been the shocker and the biggest disappointment of the season thus far. After an embarrassing 198-155 defeat to rival Everyday I'm Russelin, Hernandez Hitmen will have to wait another week to try to put a mark in the "Win" column for himself. Lamar Miller (3 points) and Dontrelle Inman (1 point) played their worst games of the season and solidified what could have been an upset victory over Everyday I'm Russelin. In Week 6, Hernandez Hitmen will face Playing Riddickulously and will have to get strong performances from both Brandin Cooks and Jamaal Charles if he wants any chances of saving his pride for this season.

 Week 4 Current Power Rankings

#1 - O'Brees Wan Kenobi 4-0 (Last: 1) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)

O'Brees Wan Kenobi remains undefeated for the 2016-2017 and now moves to 4-0 on the season with a close, but convincing 169-145 victory over Rudy Was Offsides in Week 4. Juan continues to ride the legs of DeMarco Murray, who is making a contender for the steal of this years draft, after he put up his 4th straight 20+ point game with a 25 point performance in Week 4. O'Brees Wan Kenobi continues to prove that he is hungry for a title this year, and is statistically dominating the league. If he continues this trend, O'Brees Wan Kenobi is projected to total 9 wins on the season and hopefully earn the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. Looking forward to Week 5 (Rivalry Week), Juan will face Playing Riddickulously (2-2) in hopes of staying undefeated.

#2 - Ballz Deep! 3-1 (Last: 2) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

Ballz Deep! wins again and now improves to 3-1 on the year and remains in the #2 position in this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. Ballz Deep! put on a heck of a performance in Week 4 with a humiliating victory over Playing Riddickulously, winning by a score of 202-137. Ballz Deep! won thanks in large part to huge performances from Matt Ryan (35 points) and A.J Green (33 points) and the rest of the team did their duty to ensure consecutive wins for Ballz Deep! Heading into Rivalry Week, Ballz Deep will face Rudy Was Offsides in Week 5, which will prove to be a key matchup heading into the second half of the season. Matt will welcome back the efforts of Jordy Nelson, who will have to be at the top of his game, if Ballz Deep! has hopes of moving to 4-1. 

#3 Silly Nannies 3-1 (Last: 5) (This Week: Team Prime)

After slipping in last weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings, Silly Nannies find themselves towards the top in this weeks edition after a convincing 196-107 win over Hernandez Hitmen in Week 4. While the matchup was not even close, Silly Nannies got incredible efforts from Jordan Reed (28 points) and Steve Smith Sr. (25 points) both who completely went above and beyond their level of competition this past weekend. Now with a 3-1 record, Silly Nannies is projected to total out at about 7 wins on the season and will need to make key roster decisions in order to meet that number if he has hopes of earning a high seed in the playoffs. Week 5 puts Silly Nannies in a key matchup with the struggling Team Prime, and whoever wins, will have the advantage down the road in Week 10. 

#4 Rudy Was Offsides 2-2 (Last: 3) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Rudy Was Offsides had a disappointing weekend, falling in defeat to O'Brees Wan Kenobi 145-169. This only is the second loss for Rudy Was Offsides on the season, but will prove to be a costly one however moving forward. Both Eli Manning and Ryan Fitzpatrick combined for a total 16 points and that proved to be the only dagger that O'Brees Wan Kenobi needed to put Rudy Was Offsides nailed down in the coffin in Week 4. Luke is still projected to win nearly 6 more games this season, and barring any major injuries, he should be able to do so and earn himself a decent seeing in the 2016-2017 King of the Shack Playoffs. Week 5's Rivalry Matchup between Rudy Was Offsides and Ballz Deep! will prove to be one of the most interesting and pivotal matchups of the week and will definitely help determine the outcome in Week 10.

#5 Gronkemon Go 2-2 (Last: 6) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Gronkemon Go is fighting back to regain his #1 spot in the King of the Shack Power Rankings that he lost a few weeks ago. Now with a 2-2 record, Gronkemon Go has made adjustments to his roster, and with the addition to Brandon Marshall and Todd Gurley, Gronkemon Go looks stronger than ever and is poised to make a run the rest of the regular season. Justin defeated Juan Too Many in Week 4 with a close score of 148-132, and is looking to improve to 3-2 during his Week 5 matchup against rival Hernandez Hitmen. Gronkemon Go will look to Rob Gronkowski (2 points) to improve his play from a week ago if Gronkemon Go has any chance at making a run to the championship this year. Because of his fantasy expertise, Justin has loaded his roster and is projected to win a total of 9 games throughout the regular season, and with the most recent trade, Gronkemon Go will look to even improve off of that projection.

#6 Favre Dollar Footlong 2-2 (Last: 9) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

Favre Dollar Footlong has now won two in a row, and is steadily moving back up the King of the Shack Power Rankings, after having fallen to the bottom throughout the last three to four weeks. Favre Dollar Footlong crushed Team Prime in a Week 4 matchup, winning by a score of 185-166 and proving to the rest of the league, that he will not be counted out of the playoff conversation just yet. Playoffs!? Favre Dollar Footlong was led impressively by Julio Jones (48 points) who racked up 300 yards and helped Nathan easily defeat Team Prime. In Week 5, Favre Dollar Footlong will face Rival Juan Too Many, and will have to show the league whether he knew what he was doing or not when he decided to trade away Brandon Marshall this week. This matchup will be close and whoever wins in Week 5, will have the slim advantage down the road as the playoffs near.

#7 Playing Riddickulously 2-2 (Last: 4) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

Playing Riddickulously (formerly known as Suh Girls One Cup) dropped its second matchup in a row, this time at the hands of Ballz Deep! in a lopsided performance losing by a score of 137-202. For Playing Riddickulously, it was a demoralizing defeat, as the once impressive 2-0 start, has now become a thing of the past. Zac now needs to make the necessary adjustments in the coming weeks, to right the ship and get Playing Riddickulously back on track before the playoffs start. This week, Playing Riddickulously made a major trade with Hernandez Hitmen, sending Andrew Luck, Alshon Jeffrey, Jordan Howard and Lamar Miller in return for Odell Beckham Jr., Sam Bradford, Eddie Lacy and Quincy Enunwa. This hopefully will increase the chances of more wins in the future for Playing Riddickulously, who is only projected to win about 3-4 more games the rest of the season. Week 5 against O'Brees Wan Kenobi will be a true test in seeing just how much firepower Zac was able to add this week.

#8 - Team Prime 1-3 (Last: 8) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Team Prime continues rack up the losses as he has now lost three out of the last 4, landing him in our #8 spot for this weeks King of the Shack Power Rankings. In a Week 4 166-185 blowout loss to Favre Dollar Footlong, Tyler found his team falling short once again. Despite solid performances from rookie Ezekiel Elliot (21 points) and Lesean Mcoy (22 points) Team Prime was simply no match for the firepower of Julio Jones (48 points) from Favre Dollar Footlong. Team Prime needs to make some immediate adjustments if he wants any chance of making noise in this playoffs this season. It is difficult to diagnose any moves that need to be made, but hopefully the luck falls Team Prime's way in Week 5 when he faces Silly Nannies during Rivalry Week.

#9 Juan Too Many 1-3 (Last: 7) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Juan Too Many had a great opportunity to improve to .500 this week, and put up a valiant effort in an attempt to do so, but in the end, Gronkemon Go was too much for Juan Too Many who drops to 1-3 on the season and is left searching for answers. Being down a kicker, and two start quarterbacks, Juan Too Many leaned on Michael Crabtree (33 points) and Demaryius Thomas (21 points) to try and upset the heavily favored Gronkemon Go, but their efforts were to of no prevail. In Week 5, Josh will look to take down Favre Dollar Footlong during Rivalry Week, which could give him the perfect boost to make a run towards the playoffs as the second half of the season approaches.

#10 - Hernandez Hitmen 0-4 (Last: 10) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)

Is the defending champion too far gone to make it in to the King of the Shack Playoffs this year!? He thinks so. According to team owner, Noah Ballweg "Hernandez Hitmen has had its success in the past, but its time to start thinking about brighter things, not dwelling on the past. We have not done our best preparing all season and our record shows for it. I don't know about the rest of the guys, but we are tired of losing and ready to call it a season if we don't win by Week 6". Hernandez Hitmen fell to Silly Nannies, 107-196 summarizing the season that they have had so far. Week 5, pits Noah against Gronkemon Go, another projected blowout...what could be worse!? Look for Hernandez Hitmen to shake things up in the front office and try to at least keep his pride this year.
