(Tier 1) With the weakness of his division, Wait ‘Til Next Year is primed to dominate the NBA portion of the League of Leagues. Las Cabras 3 of the bottom-half scoring teams through the first two weeks are in his division, and he can easily go 3-0 with a simple victory over the tortured corpse that was the MN Moose Knuckles.
(Tier 2) Week 1 had a weird schedule, leading to funky results. Week 2 started to even things out a bit, with projected favorites Sporty Strauss and Shepherd Goods Choppers picking up their first wins of the season. But not all went as expected. Win’s Up Doc and The Pullies, two of the worst teams in football, have propelled themselves to a 2-0 start, which is STILL more wins that Chris Hall has in his entire League of Leagues career.
The BamOs, the Cooper Troopers and the Ornery Otters all fell to 1-1 as well. Every division has a 2-win team, two 1-win teams and one winless team. Everything in balance.
(Tier 3) DTC Porkchop Express is the most unlucky team in the league. They are scoring points with the best of them, but have ended up at 0-2. And they somehow hav Strauss this week. There are no easy wins in Nolo’s Division.
In Fhima’s Division, however, it’s the opposite story. You can’t give Las Cabras much credit for beating the lowly Moose Knuckles and they are the only team with a win in the bottom tier. A big week awaits them: the Cooper Troopers. If Las Cabras can’t sneak a victory over Coop, it could be a long NBA season.
$traight Cash is an easy last place in the Power Rankings. Jack’s NBA squad looks like is going to absolutely sink his entire season.
Week 2 High Score
Win’s Up Doc (Oat)
1432 points
Notes: The real story isn’t necessarily Pat’s dominant victory, it’s who he played. DTC Porkchop Express has played the top team twice in a row, and would have beaten 8 teams last week.
Week 2 Low Score
$traight Cash Homie (Jack)
981 points
Notes: Same story here. Two $traight. Two weeks of the Homies on the bottom of the league. It was a rough couple of days for Jack, who lost football by a point and a half.
Week 2 MVP
Nikola Jokic
Las Cabras (Trevor and Jordan)
190 points
Notes: In a week where Jokic got banged up, he still led Las Cabras to victory. This is the recipe for them. They need big performances for the cheat code of fantasy ever single week.
Week 2 LVP(s)
Jalen Suggs
MN Moose Knuckles (Chris Hall)
84 points
Notes: Suggs wasn’t a disaster. But for someone who got four starts last week, he tanked Hall’s lineup. One good game and Suggs puts the Moose Knuckles over the top instead of overwhelming pain.
