Week 14 Current Power Rankings: Semi-Final Round


Championship Bracket


#1 Rudy Was Offsides 9-4 (Last: 1) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

With 51 points coming from LeVeon Bell in the Wild Card weekend, it was safe to bet in favor of Rudy Was Offsides if he had been playing an opponent, unfortunately for him, Bell's performance is a wash as Luke was on a first round BYE. With Gronkemon Go dropping to the underdog Juan Too Many last weekend, Rudy Was Offsides will now face one of the hottest teams in the league in their semi-final matchup in Week 15. Luke will look to Le'Veon Bell to repeat another dominant performance, but will also look for both Phillip Rivers (7 points) and Eli Manning (5 points) to pick up their performance if he wants to stay competitive this coming weekend. 


#2 Playing Riddickulously 9-4 (Last: 2) (This Week: Team Prime)

Playing Riddickulously also received the reward of a first round BYE which proved beneficial for Zac as his team underperformed in Week 14 mustering up 145 total points, which will likely need to improve if Playing Riddickulously wants a shot at the title game this year. With Odell Beckham Jr. (19 points) really turning up the heat as of late, Zac will look to lean upon other stars such as Russell Wilson (4 points) and Theo Riddick (0 points) to pick up their performances if he wants to take down Team Prime in the semi-final round.


#3 Juan Too Many 7-6 (Last: 6) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

Juan Too Many exploded into the semi-final round with dominating blowout victory over the #4 seeded Gronkemon Go who had high hopes for this season. Josh is now one win away from leading his team into the King of the Shack Championship for a chance to claim the Shack Daddy Trophy for the first time in team history. With Rudy Was Offsides waiting in the midst, Juan Too Many will continue to thrive off the incredible performances of Tom Brady (26 points) and Aaron Rodgers (21 points) but will need more consistent play from Mike Evans (8 points) and Michael Crabtree (6 points) if he wants to put it all together and win the 'ship! 


#4 Team Prime 6-7 (Last:5) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)


With memories of Rudy, The Longest Yard & Gridiron Gang, Team Prime proved to the rest of the league that a record is just a number, and miracles really do happen in Fantasy Football. #6 Team Prime had fought his way not only into the playoffs, but into the semi-final round of the King of the Shack Playoffs with a close 140-130 victory over #3 seeded Ballz Deep! While that ship has now sailed, Team Prime sets his sights on Playing Riddickulously who is the highly favored team. In order to survive and advance, Tyler will need huge performances from LeSean McCoy (22 points) and Ezekiel Elliot (10 points) with Melvin Gordon (Knee) now out for the next few weeks. Can the Cinderella story continue? We will find out.



Consolation Bracket

#5 Gronkemon Go 8-5 (Last: 3) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Justin's hopes and dreams of returning to the King of the Shack Championship game and hoisting the trophy for the first time can to an abrupt end in the Wild Card weekend of Week 14. With a 143-179 loss to the #5 seeded Juan Too Many, Gronkemon Go is now forced to focus on next years season as he will have to wait months to get revenge on what was stolen from him far too early this year. Ben Roethlisberger (2 points) and Tyrell Williams (8 points) were a sight for sore eyes in Week 14, leading to Gronkemon Go's crushing defeat. This Week, Justin will face off against Ballz Deep! in the consolation bracket in their fight for a draft pick. 

#6 Ballz Deep! 8-5 (Last: 5) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)

Ballz Deep! made an incredible run during his first year in the King of the Shack Fantasy Football league. Making a variety of moves and dominating wins in the regular season highlighted to the rest of the owners that Matt meant business and was not messing around. However, in the Wild Card matchup against the #6 seeded Team Prime, #3 seed Ballz Deep! came up just short of his goal in a 130-140 loss, leaving him empty handed. Kelvin Benjamin (2 points) and Jimmy Graham (2 points) both put up ugly performances, leaving Ballz Deep! on the short end of the stick. In Week 15, Matt will play in the consolation bracket against Gronkemon Go. 

Losers Bracket

#7 O'Brees Wan Kenobi (Last: 8) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Despite dismal performances from both Derek Carr (4 points) and Drew Brees (4 points), O'Brees Wan Kenobi defeated Hernandez Hitmen by a score of 147-133 in their Week 14 matchup in the Losers Bracket. With great bounce back performances from Carlos Hyde (26 points) and Lamar Miller (18 points) Juan was able to muster up enough points to propel him to a victory and move one step closer to claiming the #1 pick in next years King of the Shack Draft. Next up, O'Brees Wan Kenobi will face off against Favre Dollar Footlong.

#8 Favre Dollar Footlong (Last: 7) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

In Week 14, Favre Dollar Footlong faced off against Silly Nannies and came out on top in an ugly performance by both teams, winning by a score of 105-103. With Julio Jones (Toe) out this week, Nathan had to rely on the key performance of Ty Montgomery (17 points) who continues to be a bright spot in the Packers offense. With Matt Forte (Knee) and Jones still questionable, Nathan will have to make some tough decisions if he wants to compete with O'Brees Wan Kenobi in Week 15 for the chance to win the highest draft pick.

#9 - Silly Nannies (Last: 9) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Silly Nannies hit an all time low in Week 14 with a 103-105 loss against Favre Dollar Footlong. The Falcons defense (26 points) was the only bright spot of the weekend as only 3 other players made it to double digits. If Silly Nannies can turn it around this weekend against Hernandez Hitmen, he will still have another shot at the #1 draft pick, but he will need stellar performances in all areas of his roster to do so.

#10 - Hernandez Hitmen (Last: 10) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Noah remains at the bottom of the King of the Shack Power Rankings, and will most likely stay their as he lost against in Week 14 to O'Brees Wan Kenobi by a score of 147-133. With Dez Bryant (0 points) putting up a goose egg, and both Ladarius Green (4 points) and Delanie Walker (5 points) not doing much better, it was inevitable for Hernandez Hitmen to be handed yet another loss. This week, the challenge does not get any easier has he faces Silly Nannies.

King Of The Shack Power Rankings: Week 13


Week 13 Statistics:

Largest Margin of Victory:

Rudy Was Offsides +59 points

Smallest Margin of Victory:

Hernandez Hitmen +28 points

Most Points Scored:

 Team Prime (218 total points scored)

Least Points Scored:


O'Brees Wan Kenobi (102 total points scored)


Week 13 Current Power Rankings: Wild Card Weekend

Championship Bracket


#1 Rudy Was Offsides 9-4 (Last: 2) (This Week: BYE)

After finishing last years season with a 3-10-1 record and a last place finish, Rudy Was Offsides has since redeemed him and now enters the 2016 King of the Shack playoffs as the #1 seed and winner of 5 straight matchups to put him in such a position. Led by the dynamic trio of Antonio Brown, LeVeon Bell and T.Y Hilton, Rudy Was Offsides is one tough cookie to crack and definitely not the team you want to be facing in the playoffs. While there still remain a few questions at quarterback, Luke has assembled a squad that is ready to make its championship and claim victory over the Shack Daddy Trophy.
 
#2 Playing Riddickulously 9-4 (Last: 1) (This Week: BYE)

After an early wild card exit in the 2015 King of the Shack Playoffs, Playing Riddickulously finds himself in the #2 seed entering into this years playoffs and has built far more momentum heading into the playoffs compared to last year. Zac boasts a touted lineup of Odell Beckham Jr., Theo Riddick and X-Factor Thomas Rawls who could be the deciding factor between a championship and a runner up trophy for Playing Riddickulously this year. Zac welcomes a BYE in the first round of the playoffs and will face the winner of Gronkemon Go vs. Juan Too Many. The stakes will be high and the competition will be fierce. 

#3 Gronkemon Go 8-5 (Last: 4) (This Week: Juan Too Many)
  
Finishing as the runner up in last years 2015 King of the Shack Playoffs, Gronkemon Go finds himself in somewhat in a similar position this year, but all the more primed to make a run at the King of the Shack Championship. Loaded with firepower and depth, Gronkemon will lean upon the arm of Big Ben Roethlisberger, the legs of David Johnson and the hands of Emmanuel Sanders. This will be the deciding factor for Justin as he attempts to improve on a season so close to victory a year ago. His wild card draw against Juan Too Many will prove to be a close matchup and Justin will have to keep his fingers crossed that Aaron Rodgers and company do not come out guns blazing against the Seahawks this weekend.
 
#4 Ballz Deep! 8-5 (Last: 3) (This Week: Team Prime)

In his innagural year in the King of the Shack Fantasy Football League, team Ballz Deep! has made a strong impression and enters the 2016 King of the Shack Playoffs as the #3 seed after a stellar regular season finishing with an 8-5 record. After losing this past week to Team Prime by a score of 218-160, Matt will have to rebound quickly as he now faces Team Prime again in their Wild Card matchup this weekend. With Marcus Mariota back from a BYE, Ballz Deep! will have to make some tough decisions in order to set the right lineup, and with A.J Green (Hamstring) still out, the chances of Ballz Deep! coming out on top, look a bit murky to the rest of the league.
 
#5 Team Prime 6-7 (Last: 7) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Team Prime enters the 2016 King of the Shack Playoffs as the 6th and final seed but is not to be overlooked one bit as he currently manages one of the hottest teams in the league right now. With two straight victories over heavily favored opponents, Team Prime has been lead by the unsung heroes of his roster. Carson Palmer, Melvin Gordon and Jamison Crowder. In his innagural wild card matchup, Team Prime faces Ballz Deep! and with the above players currently performing at their highest level, it is going to be a shootout for both teams as they attempt to move one step closer to hoisting the Shack Daddy trophy at the end of the season.
 
#6 Juan Too Many 7-6 (Last: 5) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)
  
Making his way into the King of the Shack Playoffs once again is Juan Too Many, last year as the #4 seed, and this year as the #5 seed. An early exit forced Josh into a long summer of rethinking and planning for this season, and now Juan Too Many is poised to make it out of the Wild Card Weekend round and attempt to make a push for the King of the Shack Championship. Josh is lead by the insane duo of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and will to Devonta Freeman to carry the rest of the workload as he enters this years playoffs. While a daunting matchup lurks with Gronkemon Go, Juan Too Many can be assured that his team will be ready to fight the battle against a team he has lost to once already this season.

Losers Bracket

#7 Favre Dollar Footlong 5-8 (Last: 8) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Nathan's efforts were simply not enough this year as he was ousted from the King of the Shack playoffs in the final week of the season with a loss to Hernandez Hitmen. That loss dropped Favre Dollar Footlong to 5-8 on the year, one win shy of matching last years record. Favre Dollar Footlong will have a long offseason as he sits in rememberance of a semi-final berth in last years playoffs. This year, he will fight for a high valued draft pick and will have his work cut out for him in a tough losers bracket field.
 
#8 O'Brees Wan Kenobi 6-7 (Last: 6) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

Last year, O'Brees Wan Kenobi finished the season with a 6-8 record and landed himself into the third place game, losing to Favre Dollar Footlong in the process. This year however, O'Brees Wan Kenobi finds himself out of the King of the Shack Playoffs and in the losers bracket as he attempts to win the first pick in next years draft. Juan was ultimately done in by a few deciding factors. 1. Demarco Murray who ended up having a BYE on the final week of the regular season, 2. Carlos Hyde (injury extraordinaire) and 3. Alshon Jeffrey who just cant seem to stay out of harms way with the Chicago Bears. O'Brees Wan Kenobi will have to reshape his roster and management skills next year as he attempts to make it back to the playoffs.
 
#9 - Silly Nannies 4-9 (Last: 9) (This Week Favre Dollar Footlong)
  
While projected to finish in the top half on the league this season, Silly Nannies was hampered severely by some key injuries to Adrian Peterson (ACL) and Jonathan Stewart (Hamstring). His roster still had talent, but those proved to be a big enough blow to put Silly Nannies out of the playoffs well before they began leaving him with a 4-9 record and in the losers bracket for the first time in his career. Jake will have to make a few adjustments if he wants to win the losers bracket and claim the #1 draft pick next season.
 
#10 - Hernandez Hitmen 3-10 (Last: 10) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

What more can you say...a hard working commisioner simply not being rewarded by his team for all the hard work being put in. A 13-1 season a year ago, turns into a 3-10 regular season finish this year. Embarrassing. Noah will be hungry for another shot at a top draft pick and will do anything in the losers bracket to do so.

King Of The Shack Power Rankings: Week 12



Week 12 Statistics:

Largest Margin of Victory:

Rudy Was Offsides +45 points

Smallest Margin of Victory:

Team Prime +7 points

Most Points Scored:

 Rudy Was Offsides (204 total points scored)

Least Points Scored:


Hernandez Hitmen (120 total points scored)


Week 12 Current Power Rankings:

#1 - Playing Riddickulously 9-3 (Last: 1) (This Week: Gronkemon Go)

Playing Riddickulously has soared to the top the league standings over that last three weeks, and has proven that his fantasy football skill is not to be doubted. With a win in the final week over Gronkemon Go, Zac will not only claim the #1 seed in the playoffs, but he will also receive the $20 bonus for having the best record in the league at the seasons end. Playing Riddickulously will need all hands on deck, as Gronkemon Go will be chomping at the bit to fight for the #1 seed. Russell Wilson (10 points) and Greg Olson (8 points) will have to improve their efforts from a week ago if Zac wants any chance of making this a contest in Week 13. *This could be the championship preview

#2 Rudy Was Offsides 8-4 (Last: 2) (This Week: Silly Nannies)

Arguably the hottest team in the league right now, Rudy Was Offsides is averaging over 175+ points over his last three games and will look to improve his record to 9-4 in Week 13 when he faces off against Silly Nannies. With the incredible turn of events this season for Luke, the world will wait and see what his playoff management expertise can offer up as he attempts to win the King of the Shack Championship.

#3 Ballz Deep! 8-4 (Last: 3) (This Week: Team Prime)

Ballz Deep! is looking to make a deep run in the 2016 King of the Shack Playoffs and will have to fend off the feisty Team Prime in Week 13 if he wants to remain in competition for the #1-2 seed in this years playoffs. Consistency has been Matt's strength this year, and with Marcus Mariota (BYE) out this week, he will have to lean on the depth of his roster, and the arm of Brock Osweiler in order to secure a win.

#4 Gronkemon Go 7-5 (Last: 5) (This Week: Playing Riddickulously)

Gronkemon Go is gearing up to make another championship run in this years playoffs. After a disappointing loss last year, Justin has assembled all the right pieces and will stop at nothing to capture his first title and claim dominance over the rest of the league. With a tough matchup in Week 13 against Playing Riddickulously, Gronkemon Go will have to hope that he is able to come out with a win to ensure a solid playoff position, otherwise he will be on the outside looking in heading into his championship run.

#5 Juan Too Many 6-6 (Last: 4) (This Week: O'Brees Wan Kenobi)

Juan Too Many has cooled over over the last few weeks, falling to the #5 spot in the King of the Shack Power Rankings and is now in jeopardy of losing a playoff spot if he cannot get business done against O'Brees Wan Kenobi in Week 13. Josh will have to rely on Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady to carry him the rest of the way if he wants any chance of hanging with the league power houses in this years playoff matchups.

#6 O'Brees Wan Kenobi 6-6 (Last: 6) (This Week: Juan Too Many)

While the season has been a bit dissapointing for O'Brees Wan Kenobi, Juan finds himself in a pivotal position to steal the 6th and final playoff position, giving him the chance to make a run for the King of the Shack Championship. With DeMarco Murray (BYE) out this week, O'Brees will really have to work this weekend to come out with a victory. If a loss does occur, Juan will most likely be able to sneak in on a close tie-breaker, but "close" only really counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

#7 Team Prime 5-7 (Last: 8) (This Week: Ballz Deep!)

Team Prime is getting hot when it counts. After a win over Juan Too Many in Week 12, Team Prime has been given the chance to win out the regular season and steal the final playoff spot. If this is to happen, Team Prime is going to need to continue to ride the legs of LeSean McCoy and Ezekiel Elliot if he is going to play the Cinderella role is this years King of the Shack Playoffs. In order to get their first however, Team Prime will have to knock of the dangerous Ballz Deep! team, which will be no easy task.

#8 Favre Dollar Footlong 5-7 (Last: 7) (This Week: Hernandez Hitmen)

The light at the end of the tunnel is looking dimmer and dimmer as the weekend approaches for Favre Dollar Footlong, the lone bright spot is the fact that Nathan will be playing Hernandez Hitmen (2-10) which gives him an excellent chance to put up a decent number of points, and sneak into the King of the Shack Playoffs with the 6th seed. It is going to take a bit of luck and maybe a miracle, but don't count Favre Dollar Footlong out of anything yet!

#9 - Silly Nannies 4-8 (Last: 9) (This Week: Rudy Was Offsides)

It was a surprising season for Silly Nannies who has been eliminated from playoff contention, coming into the season Jake was projected to be one of the top teams in the league, but do to key injuries at almost every position, all he was able to muster up was a 4-8 record and nothing much more to show than that. Silly Nannies will look to gain some pride in the consolation bracket and will begin his fight for the #1 draft pick in next years draft.

#10 - Hernandez Hitmen 2-10 (Last: 10) (This Week: Favre Dollar Footlong)

Playoffs!? Are you kidding me!?......
