Steve's Week 7 Rankings

16 ranked teams - Steve Dugas - records through Week 6

Ludke's Merry Men 4-2 Top 3 - 9 Weeks

Strange week, outperformed 'Tangs in every yardage category but just couldn't get into the endzone. Was shocking Purdy and Pineiro couldn't complete the comeback on MNF. MM remain in the top spot for now but their grip is slipping and week 7 feels like a must win situation.

Point Diff. +107

Snapdragons 4-2 Top 3 - 6 Weeks

The yardage totals were pedestrian across the board but 12 TOUCHDOWNS is crazy!!

Point Diff. +106

Memphis Brothers 4-2 Top 3 - 3 Weeks

Brothers did well to score 40 while their Lions trio were on BYE. I bet Bri didn't expect to be tied with the Beans atop the division six weeks into the season.

Point Diff. +69

Asian Orangutangs 4-2 Top 5 - 15 Weeks

If there was ever a week to steal a win that was it and without Gibbs.

Cuban Refugees 5-1

This team is unreal. They lose a major piece every week and keep winning. It's like the opposite of what would happen to the Brothers during the 2010's.

Apple Eaters 3-2-1

Kurt is going to think about that loss to the Refugees for a long time. Huge opportunity to take over first in the AFC West slipped through his fingers.

Mexican Beans 4-2

Next four for the Beans are Eaters, Refugees, White Guys, and Boys....they just might be able to keep this run going.

High 5'n White Guys 2-4

I bet Aceto would like to start the season over for this team. Completely different team than we saw the first four weeks.

Llamas Fantasy Football Team 3-3

Outside of week 6 blow up vs MM this group has been very meh. Williams and Barkley returning this week should help.

Burger Buddies 2-3-1

Another loss this week against the Brothers and I bet we start seeing Buddies moved to Jon's teams. Gibbs and Henry will be a scary backfield.

Huskers managed to stay .500 while getting thru Josh Jacobs absence. Will Kevin's family let him play him?
