Joe sits alone in this tier, but I take no pleasure in writing about only negative things, so let’s look on the bright side. Joe has been a lot more stable as a manager in his decision making this year, and seems like he has a better grasp on what makes a good Super League team. He admitted before the year started that this team was building for the future, which is why they drafted Love 1.01. And that move has never looked better than today so far. Love was amazing when given the lion share of the RB volume, and I am personally bought in on him becoming a top fantasy player for years to come. Javonte Williams is also performing well. Other than that, it’s pretty bleak. This team needs a healthy Nico Collins to function. I expect this team to remain at the bottom, but the real challenge now begins. How can Joe keep his top end talent, sell what he can, and also position himself for the toilet bowl? I’m looking forward to some interesting low stakes trades from this team.

You can say the Dikes haven’t performed to expectations but that’s really simplifying a complex situation. The last two weeks the Dikes have had their QB go out mid game to injury, which has limited their success. They haven’t gotten a big Dike game yet, and he keeps fumbling. JT had an off game this week. Still, I think there’s enough here to still be a threat for the playoffs. Even if those guys did perform, the Dikes ran into a brick wall in week 3 vs #1 on this list, and lost to (spoiler alert) #3 on this week’s list last week. This is where the rubber meets the road - divisional action. If they can beat the Beer Wolves this week, no harm no foul at all for the previous two weeks. There’s also a beef brewing between this team and the Zark’s Sharks. Some people have said Super League needed a new rivalry, could this be the start of something special?

This is a low ranking but with pretty much everyone still alive, this isn’t a normal #10. The Beer Wolves have a mild RB crisis on their hands now that Etienne has been knocked out and Lloyd has failed to generate any motion. Tony Pollard joins the group as the best healthy option, but you can’t expect much from him week to week. This team performed right to expectations this week, which is to say not too bad at all. This team just is what it is. They have to put down the Dikes this week in what should be a very hard fought divisional matchup. If they can win that, then they’d be 2-0 in the division and maybe even leading the division, which changes the outlook completely. 1-1 and they’re gonna be forced to beat Nathan at least once to make the playoffs. One positive for the BVBW is that they’ve scored more and more each week. That’s a trend that can get the boys excited enough. #NickKnew

WFT brought back their patented empty lineup strategy and it worked gloriously, wiping out the BV Beer Wolves behind big days from Warren, Shough, Higgins, Olave, and continued Trey McBride dominance. This strategy is like voodoo for WFT, they always manage to snag a first win when they bring this thing out. The positives for week 3 were there, but so were the negatives. This team could be considered the opposite of a team of destiny. Achane marks the second keeper acquired this offseason that is hitting IR, and unlike AJB he’s not coming back. There’s a lot of nasty injuries here between them, Caleb and Reed. This undeniably lowers this team’s ceiling, but let’s be honest, Curtis isn’t out of the running yet. This guy has been one of the most creative traders in the business and has always piloted a bad team to better days. He did win this week even with Achane scoring 2 in his lineup. WFT will face a tough divisional matchup against the Skunks to see if they can get some traction in the divisional race.

Look at these Skunks go. This is now a winning streak for the team who came in last place less than a year ago. It wasn’t exactly a pretty win, but there are no bad wins in Super League. They did have a triple whammy of players exiting action this week, but it looks like Justin Jefferson at least avoided major injury. I want to see him suit up with Kyler, this could change the tone of this team. I do expect Adams to come back to earth with Puka likely coming back, but I think he’s shown enough to be a confident starter going forward. The only real issue I see here is depth. With Breece Hall going out, it could be hard to replace him with a consistent scorer. The investment into Josh Jacobs is the big swing factor. If he gets off with a short suspension, this team could be a major threat down the stretch, as he will dominate the Packers backfield when he’s back. This team is now only 4 wins away from tying their franchise record. I think they could get there.

This team put in a really solid week behind Brock Bowers return, but it wasn’t enough to match the top scorer Pirates in this one. This loss doesn’t really faze how I feel about this team, I still think they are a serious threat. I think this next week is critical though. There’s a winnable divisional match against the #1 team in the division coming up. Bowers came back firing on all cylinders and as long as he stays on the field, this team has the floor to win close matchups. After losing to the Beer Wolves, they are in need of a divisional win. If they can go out and do that, then expect a big jump. The Johnson division is purely about who wins the divisional games. I wonder how the people on Bridge Road are reacting to back to back losses though.

After a couple of tough weeks my team is back in the win column and I nabbed top scorer of the week. CMC, Chase, and Lamb all hit 20 points this week which was great. Barkley struggled, I’m starting to see why he was in the draft pool after all. Through the first three weeks of the season, this team has produced the top offense in the Moss division. Like so many teams this week, the Pirates need a divisional win to feel good about the team’s position. That just so happens to come in the form of a Boneyard Bowl against a 3-0 Sharks team that just exploded. You wouldn’t have thought this team would be fighting from behind for .500 on week 4, but here we are. Damn picks curse.

GIRTH deflated a bit this week as Josh Allen failed to have another monster game, just a normal one. Truly’s squad loses to the Shit Eating Skunks, which happens to the best of us. Omarion was frustrating, Swift cooled off, and Corum shit the bed. Hopefully Josh Allen is 100% for this next week, because this team will need him as they take on the Slimes. This feels like a team that will win enough games behind a decent scoring floor, and should be right there at the end of the season vying for a playoff spot, if they don’t sell key pieces for picks again. I heard this guy got a new job on LinkedIn. Not related just thought I’d mention it.

The Slimes honestly got folded this week. I think we can all admit that. And so did the Eagles, which is a big part of the problem. Just like Philly, I don’t think one week from hell can truly define you, so I’m leaving them in the top tier here. The pieces are still here if they can click all at once to make major noise this season. Golden is starting to look like a must start, Wandale is awesome and Sam even picked up franchise legend and notable father Tyreek Hill. Hurts just has to deliver more for the Slimes to start winning more football games. Overall, the Slimes are still a top team in the league this year.

Well, if you weren’t convinced Nathan wasn’t the Super League GOAT before, we can officially end the debate. This man has had so many big performances and crazy starts. He texts me that he’s considering Skyy Moore before the week even starts and then he actually started him and he went crazy. Deebo is looking like a really high upside player in this format, if he can stay healthy he will be a big X factor going forward. This whole thing is built around the sweetest big three in the league. We’re on full scale championship watch again with this team.

The Sharks have graduated from surprise team to full blown wagon. If Nathan has the best big three, then Zach has the best 1-2 punch. Gibbs and Cook are such a dangerous scoring engine for this team. Purdy exploded, and on the bench Darnold and Sadiq exploded. It was basically the three mentioned starters that single handedly won them the game this week. If Zark can figure out which guy to start which week, he could easily cruise into the playoffs. This team remains fascinating because there’s an endless amount of options this team has. It’s officially scary hours if Zach beats my Pirates this week. 4-0 and 2-0 in the division would just be insnae based on where this team started off. If we’re talking power, the Sharks have the most in the league. Well, almost. There’s a toy fork team ahead of them.

I don’t know what Jackson cooked up with his three year plan, but damn. Just damn. This team refuses to score below 160 so far. JSN is such a god, K9 is a beast, even Kelce is getting involved again. You know its crazy when the team benches Zay Flowers and Harold Fannin and still notches a 40+ point win. With K1 Speed coming to town in the one divisional matchup that doesn’t feel close, this team gets even more of an advantage. Barring one of the biggest upsets ever in league history, this team will start 4-0 and 2-0 in the division. Three straight weeks on the power rankings #1 would have seemed insane in previous seasons, but the power of planning I suppose. I’m starting to finally like that little fork.
