ACTUAL RECAP THIS WEEK. BOOM!
Sorry for skipping the recap last week. I just couldn't bring myself to write about Daniballs being first in the league. Now that I've had a week to mourn, I'm over it.
It was a tough week for injuries, but no matter how bad you think you have it, I bet my roommate had it worse in one of my leagues: Le'Veon Bell, Keenan Allen, Joseph Randle, and Reggie Bush (in a 12 team league where the best RB on the waiver wire was probably Marcell Reece...and he also drafted Dez and Desean Jackson). Sorry, I just wanted everyone to join in LOLing with me.
We no longer have any undefeated teams, as Coale Drogo took down Enter Sandman in the Danny Coale Conference this week in a crazy game, 144.4-143.7. One more point out of Cam Newton, Frank Gore, or the Panthers' D on Monday Night would have sent Enter Sandman to 8-0.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Real Diehls of the Frank Beamer Conference are now 0-8. Diehl, it's time to change your handle to Mike London.
Shoutout to the Fuller Conference, where all 12 teams are within 3 games of each other and within 1 game of a playoff spot. Gonna be a crazy finish there, stuffing 12 teams into 4 playoff spots.
Here's the link to the power rankings spreadsheet (filterable by league).
An explanation of rankings:
Overall Rank: Average rank of the four ranks below (from 1-10/12, depending on your league size, with 1 being the best).
Power Rating Rank: Rank of the Power Rating, a weighted ranking stat that I found on the internet dot com. It is comprised of a team's total points (60%), average points (20%), max points (10%) and min points (10%).
Standings Rank: Rank of the team's W-L record
Weekly Breakdown Rank: Rank of the average Weekly Breakdown; the Weekly Breakdown is a stat that ranks how many points a team scored in each week compared to the rest of their league.
Total Points Scored Rank: Rank of a team's total points scored over the span of the season
With that explanation out of the way, here are the top 10 teams in TKP Fantasy through eight weeks. 9 of the 10 teams are the same as they were in week 6, with Pastor of Muppets moving from unranked to 9th, and Taste the DwayneBowe dropping from 9th to NR (they're 11th now, FWIW).
- Enter Sandman (Danny Coale Conference, Overall Rank: 1.50, last week #1)
- Party Like A Gronk Star (Sam Rogers Conference, Overall Rank: 1.59, last week 3)
- Team Koma (Frank Beamer Conference, Overall Rank: 1.63, last week #2)
- Kuhn on the Cobb (Bud Foster Conference, Overall Rank: 1.94, last week #4)
- Catticus' Finches (Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference, Overall Rank: 2.19, last week #5)
- Team Daniballsdeep (Frank Beamer Conference, Overall Rank: 2.41, last week #7)
- Tobacco Road Infiltrators (Danny Coale Conference, Overall Rank: 2.66, last week #8)
- Team Needs a Name (Bud Foster Conference, Overall Rank: 2.84, last week #6)
- Pastor of Muppets (Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference, Overall Rank: 3.16, last week NR)
- To Hover is Divine (Vincent and Nina Fuller Conference, Overall Rank: 3.38, last week #10)
Time to talk some trash, people!

Party Like A Gronk Star is a draft savant, and I get to play them this week.
I'm scared
Oh great, I'm sure he won't let me forget someone said this about him.
Oh yeah, you got that right!
I have been called many things and savant is not usually one of them. Thank you sir. Eifert got you off to a great start this week. Best of luck to you!
Anyone who drafted Freeman and Martin should just say they totally meant to do that.
And yes, Eifert is making me look like a genius. I nabbed him in the last round. I just hope the rest of my team keeps that pace.
I will say Freeman was a total guess but I did like Martin as a sleeper pick and I have him in a few other leagues too.
Also, jgdon3 and I were each doing this draft and another draft at the same time. That was a fun strategy: Don't think, just pick!
I made the list! Grabbed Jeremy Langford off waivers just in case. Too bad Deangelo Williams was already on someone's bench...
I'm awesome
I was 0-3 and put Mike London as my team avitar. Since then I am 4-1.
I've had the head ballcop as my team avatar since the start of the season (crying of course) and I'm 5-3. Maybe we're on to something.
I actually thought I had the win locked up to stay undefeated, but the Panthers' defense decided to poop the bed in the 4th quarter and give up 17 points...
A newly signed kicker for the Eagles just beat me!!
The Danny Coale League is about to be a bunch of 5-4 teams. 7 of us will be 5-4.
And Enter Sandman just lost again. Playoff push is gonna be fun in this one.
Whoever gets the two bottom dwellers one of whom isn't playing anymore will help get a push here at the end.
I just noticed, I get Sandman next week...during Devonta Freeman's bye.

Things are gonna be super interesting in the Bud foster conference. At least 3 people all jockeying for the 4th spot
