It's the second to last regular season week, which means we're getting down to the nitty gritty. It's Thanksgiving week, so be sure to set your lineups early. The trade deadline is on Wednesday at 11:59PM EST, so get your last minute deals in. The playoff race still has 8 contenders, and still so many possibilities. It's going to be a fun close to the season.

2026 Rankings

4.Need for K1Speed

Need for K1Speed started selling some players for picks as soon as they could this year, clearly waiving the white flag on this season. The pick haul is modest, but still much better than a stock set of picks. The draft really starts picking up in the 4th round (if he keeps these picks), where he gets an extra selection every round until he finishes his draft in the 8th. The major reasons Joe isn't higher on this list is due to his lack of a winning track record and weak keepers compared to the rest of the list. His keepers project to be Drake Maye, DJ Moore, and K9. Another reason is Need for K1Speed may be going by Shit Eating Skunks this time next year. While Joe is last in this rankings, it goes to show you that all of these bottom teams have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs next year.

3.Team curritooooo

Curry entered the league mid season, with his year already over. Luckily for him, his 2026 situation is a lot better. His big three of Bucky, Jefferson, and Burrow has not suited up for him since taking over the team (though they have a chance in week 13), but they should be available next season barring more bad luck. They are all tradable players at worst. Curry also made a move to pick up an extra third rounder, which Need for K1Speed does not have. Curry's squad tracks to be a playoff team next season if they can bring in talent from the draft. Side note: I'd love to see what Curry can come up with in the franchise branding department.

2.Washington Fantasy Team

Fantasy Team spent the second half of the season losing and selling pieces, for the most part. This has set them up very nicely compared to 10/12 teams in the league. WFT has two first round picks for what I imagine to be the first time in franchise history, but correct me if I'm wrong on that. It seems like the plan for Curtis was always to spend his picks every year, reposition, and repeat, but this feels different. With Curtis being a top manager in league history, the only piece he's missing is keeper level talent, which he is severely lacking. Still, I'll probably have Curtis top three in the way too early edition of the 2026 power rankings.

1.Parma Pirates

It had to be me. Despite being somewhat competitive this year, I've been preparing for the 2026 season all along. Just look at my picks - 10 selections before the end of the third round. Worst pick is a 9th rounder. My keepers include CeeDee Lamb and Ja'Marr Chase. This should be one of the most dominant teams in league history.

2025 Rankings

8.The Bridge Road Orcas (—)

The Orcas take out the trash in week 12 and survive and advance, though they remain in the back of the line in terms of most likely to make it. They do have an advantage in the seeding for now, as they hold a H2H edge over GIRTH for 7th. This advantage only works if the two team's records are tied, and GIRTH could easily win out. Bridge Road needs a huge upset this week to put them in a much better position, but could even fall short of the playoffs with a win against Nathan this week. The team has a hilarious amount of BYE's in week 14, when they'd need the win the most. But still, it's been a really fun season for this team after all when they were headed for a toilet bowl BYE. Technically though, they could win out and make the whole damn thing.

7.For(th)ky Down (—)

This is the most complicated team to discuss so bear with me. For(th)ky Down takes over the fifth playoff spot in the standings with only two weeks to go. The problem with this is that they now have a very challenging finish to the season where they must win one game to stay in, and may need to win both. First is SLATTS SLIMES, who are primed to clinch the division with a win. Josh Jacobs will be a major X factor here as him not suiting up could give For(th)ky Down the opportunity they've been looking for. Then comes GIRTH, which a win here would send Jackson to the playoffs no matter what. If Jackson beats Sam but not Truly, he'd need Skunks or Sacks to not reach 8 wins to make it in, as even though he'd be in a four way tie for 4th, because he is losing the four way tiebreaker to H2H record, he would not get in. The current 5th in the standings is kind of a mirage, because if GIRTH gets introduced to the tiebreaker, Forky are the team on bottom (unless they win in week 14). Plus, I still think I'd favor the Slimes and GIRTH in these matchups, so I have to give Jackson 7th for now.

6.GIRTH (—)

This team is living on a razors edge right now. Jackson has leapfrogged him in the official standings, and the rest of the playoff group are headed off without him. The good news for GIRTH is that they still control their own destiny. They have to win these last two to clinch, but it is not unlikely that they do so. A lot would be on the line in a week 14 matchup vs For(th)ky Down, including possibly the Taco Bell gift card via the Taco Bell Bowl. For GIRTH, it's all about making the playoffs though, as missing the playoffs again would be a major disappointment. It's been such an up and down season, and 8th in the standings must be scary, but I have to think GIRTH makes it in still.

5.Shit Eating Skunks (📉-3)

The Skunks fell short in the Mickey Mouse Cup, and now face the top offense in the league (Bona Vista) in a revenge game from a few weeks ago. Jonathan Taylor cooled down this week, but he is still the number one guy I wanna have in this fantasy playoffs. The good news is even if they lose to Noah, they can take advantage of an Orcas team that is missing four starters to BYE in week 14. Only one win is needed to make the franchise's first playoffs, and to reclaim the naming rights of the team for next year. After that, anything is possible in the playoffs.

4.Sacks in the City (📈+1)

The team can breathe again after winning a close fight to Washington Fantasy Team, and they are now one win away from locking in the playoffs for the third straight year. Their best chance is this week against the Orcas, who also need a win to stay alive. I think out of all the teams who will realistically finish with 8 wins, I feel the best about this one. The team's scoring output hasn't really matched its projections since acquiring CMC, but that's bound to change as long as Lamar can put together a nice fantasy game. The team's best next option at QB is an injured Dart. Sacks should be safe to make the playoffs regardless.

3.Bona Vista Beer Wolves (—)

The Beer Wolves win a gutsy one against GIRTH that will lock in the Beer Wolves to the playoffs. 8 wins is the magic number (unless you're Jackson), and this team hit it. They have a chance to put up another 10 win season to their catalogue here, and bring home the first ever scoring title in team history. The BYE is now likely out of reach as Sam holds the tiebreaker and has an extra win. I've heard rumors that this team wants to play on week 15 though, and are fully considering gamesmanship opportunities down the stretch. This is an added layer of chaos that could impact everyone else, which is honestly big aura and AIDS points. I still think this team could win it all.

2.SLATTS SLIMES (📈+2)

The Slimes have virtually locked up the division at this point, and a BYE. The situation where they do not get either involves them losing to a Need for K1Speed team without Drake Maye, which would be a major shock to say the least. The division is even more secure, as Jackson would have to win out as well as Sam losing out for the Slimes to lose it. I wrote all this before mentioning that the team dominated this week, dropping a week best 168. It's one of the most improbable great seasons in league history, especially if Sam hits the rare air of 11 wins.

1.Zark's Sharks (—)

The Sharks win the Mickey Mouse Cup and take over the #1 seed outright now. The Sharks now have an easy path to 11 wins, which would actually be the best record in franchise history, passing 10 win seasons from the previous two years. Making the playoffs would tie stepbro Curtis for most playoff appearances in league history, with 4. He's also still in the mix for a third straight scoring title. This is all going in the record books, but a title would take him from league legend to league GOAT. This is what the Sharks play for most of all.
