Rankings

1. Bryce (1-3)
Previous Rank - 10 (+9)
May be the greatest team of all time. After a slow start to the season, truly has come alive in week 4. Nothing about this first win of the season had anything to do with McCaffrey deciding to have a personal vendetta against Arizona and scoring 4 TDs. Bryce also has Kupp to look forward to returning soon, and so this team is poised for some big weeks in the future. It was truly a team effort and I am excited to see what Bryce has in store for the rest of his flawless season.
Positives: McCaffrey, Jackson, playing poor teams like Luft
Negatives: Not having a top 20 WR, full IR slots

2. Lufty (2-2)
Previous Rank - 2 (-)
Luft had tough competition this week and unfortunately couldn't hack it. It was too bad he had to play Bryce at the start of his 10 week run. But someone had to. Other than that Luft had a pretty standard week in terms of playing to his highest efficiency because he has no depth. Josh Allen looked like a stud. AJ Brown puts on a clinic at home vs Washington. All of his starters are studs that occasionally have down weeks, but once you look at his bench you're not going to see much production. As long as people stay healthy Luft will do just fine.
Positives: Josh Allen and AJ Brown decide to carry the team
Negatives: Mike Evans injury may be worth keeping an eye on

3. N8 (4-0)
Previous Rank - 5 (+2)
How did we let N8 end up with this team? Like seriously, a top 5 QB, 2 top 5 WRs with the 10th on his bench. Plus the number 1 kicker. How he isn't putting up 150+ points every week I'm not sure. The only team he should worry about is Bryce, but other than that N8 has an easy path to the championship.
Positives: Every starter he has, only has to play Bryce once
Negatives: Having to decide who to play in the flex each week

4. Alex (4-0)
Previous Rank - 1 (-3)
Alex's studs finally had weeks like everyone has been expecting from them. Both Andrews and Henry finally broke 20 points in a week. Surprise waiver wire stud Puka Nacua continues to put up crazy numbers. Herbert remains the number 1 overall QB. Seems like even when guys like Kennan Allen have mediocre weeks Alex just can't go wrong. He is definitely a team to keep an eye on as his season progresses. Unfortunately even though Alex got through his matchup with Bryce before the run began, he will have to face him again before season ends.
Positives: Puka Nacua is still looking fantastic and really making a case for a top fantasy receiver
Negatives: Still relies on a broncos player as a starter

5. Paxton (3-1)
Previous Rank - 3 (-2)
Not gonna lie, Paxton got a little lucky he played Perry this week. Fewest points in a win, and narrowest victory margin doesn't feel great, but a win is a win and puts himself solidly in 3rd place in the standings. When Kyren Williams is the only player putting up over 20 points you shouldn't expect to win many games. But Paxton somehow managed to pull through and hang on to a victory despite how hard D.K. tried to prevent that. While I think Paxton's team could perform better, it did the job this week and that's ultimately what matters.
Positives: Kyren Williams should be a confident start with Akers out of the picture, next year will be a force to reckon with when he collects every 11th round pick
Negatives: Mahomes, Chase, and Waddle underperformed and he can't expect to win often when that happens

6. Erik (2-2)
Previous Rank - 7 (+1)
Drafting Athony Richardson may have been Erik's smartest draft pick. He has had a great season so far and should be able to keep it up. Even only completing half his passes, Richardson puts up nearly 30. Keep an eye on him. Erik is also now a chiefs fan as he too follows them since Taylor put Kelce on the map. But he can also pray to his savior Isaih to carry his team. I wish Erik the best of luck with his young team. Hopefully they continue to work out as well as they have for him so far.
Positives: Taylor has blessed all the Chiefs and now Erik believes in a higher power again
Negatives: Young team could be boom or bust in the future

7. Stone (1-3)
Previous Rank - 4 (-3)
Stone has a ton of big names on his team that you'd expect to put up big points. While they may not have performed at their peak today, he could still have great weeks in the future. Stone is a high risk high reward kind of player, but does his research and should feel pretty confident on a lot of his hot takes. I'll be interested in seeing how some of Stone's big brain picks work moving forward. This week just wasn't his week as he faced one of the best teams in the league.
Positives: High risk, high reward
Negatives: Daniel Jones

8. Tib (1-3)
Previous Rank - 6 (-1)
Despite having JJ and Kelce, Tib's team underperforms week in and week out. This just goes to show that two studs do not make a team. You need support in all areas. I will respect Kelce going 6/9 (nice), but only 9 points is not what Tibby needs to win. While he shouldn't have to play Cousins over Burrow, Burrow has just been sad to watch this season and Tib has to suffer because of it. Hopefully Burrow returns to his elite status soon so Tib can start moving in the right direction.
Positives: Doesn't have to play Bryce again until week 12
Negatives: Having to start Kirk Cousins over Joe Burrow
9. Perry (1-3)
Previous Rank - 10 (+1)
If the cowboys defense wasn't averaging 20 points a week I don't think he would have a remotely close game and he might be last in the power rankings. He traded away the WR 1 for chump change. Decided to start a backup RB over a starter and proceeded to watch the starter drop 30+ points on his bench. Plus most of his players are on wishy washy teams, so the points will likely be inconsistent. Positives: Apparently the Cowboys defense is a top fantasy scorer and something about that is wrong. Also Tua is good and just had a down week, he'll be back
Negatives: The rest of his team

10. Eth (1-3)
Previous Rank - 9 (-1)
Bad.
Positives: Blessed with Fantasy luck plus now he has Koo
Negatives: Probably his HIV test
