Power Rankings
After Week 9
#1
LIFO Lifer 👻
1️⃣Sean Brown⭐
Say what you will about the PRC and its sometimes unorthodox methods, but there's no denying its unfiltered message to power. With a shot of confidence—or perhaps a well-timed "enema of love"—Dob and Rob storm the field, posting over 160 points and despite the dramatic loss to a resurrected Doughnut Boy, the White Ghost has now reached the summit of the rankings. This is old-school, ground-and-pound football at its finest. Sure, there’s the flashy quarterback, but sometimes the best strategy is to let Willie Beamen step aside and give the ball to LL Cool J to do the heavy lifting. As we head into the late season, one thing is clear: this is the team to beat. Come and get him if you dare. (and yes this was originally written before Parker’s dramatic comeback).
#2
Bo Still Knows
🤼Bo Crawford⭐
The end of a promising streak has Brazil Bo stumbling into a flat, uninspired stretch—more like a caipirinha with too much ice and not enough punch. For the second game running, King Henry is the only one bringing any heat, while the rest of the lineup feels like watered-down cachaça. Has this team forgotten how to samba? And then there’s the elephant in the bar: Caleb Williams at quarterback, who’s proving to be less "game-changer" and more "buzzkill." If Bo’s hoping to sip from a championship chalice, he might want to start by rethinking his mixer—because right now, Caleb’s the weak pour that could ruin the whole drink.

Bulldog breaks Achane
#5
The Corporate King
⬆️Gwil Stumpp⭐
The King has a soft spot for players cast aside—those drafted with promise by one team, only to be deemed unworthy and replaced as if they had nothing left to give. In this Kingdom, these so-called “used goods” are hidden gems just waiting for a little elbow grease and a spit-shine to sparkle like they’re brand new. Goff, Conner, and Pollard may have been recycled, traded, and picked up at a discount, but the King sees the full value they bring. Here, these once-overlooked warriors are embraced, for His Highness knows that in the right hands, their worth far exceeds their price.
#6
Karaoke Kraken
Jeremy Widman⭐
Doubts and hesitation begin to cloud the journey. The PRC has watched this shepherd lead his lineup with strength and purpose, driving his flock toward the promised land. But here we are, deep in the season, and what once looked like an unstoppable force now shows signs of strain. The shepherd’s prized Lamb is hobbled, making the path ahead feel steeper and more uncertain. Yet even with the challenges, the PRC can’t overlook the resilience keeping Sqwid near the top. Vulnerabilities aside, this shepherd and his loyal ranks aren’t ready to stray off course just yet.
#7
Team Birdman
🔥Tyler Birchmeier⭐⭐
As these rankings go to press, the PRC has word that Birdman is deep in the eleventh hour of a trade negotiation with a Family Division team—a deal that has reportedly ping-ponged no less than 14 times. Now, it’s not that Birdman shouldn’t be working the phones to land the best possible arrangement before the Trade Deadline (November 6, noon CST); it’s that he seems to know, deep down, that this team isn’t quite built for Division play. Sure, he has reason to feel confident against Boner this week, but his real hope lies in striking the right negotiating formula to bolster Team Birdman before it’s too late. If he can manage that, maybe, just maybe, he’ll be closer to ready—but right now, it’s a question mark at best.
#8
Cult of FHS 07
⬇️Billy Brown
You’d think—on a day like today when a little “Cult of Personality” could WIN the presidency—the Cult of FHS ‘07 would be CRUSHING it with enthusiasm. But here we are, Tuesday morning, and while people are saying this team has potential (BIGLY), the RB position? Total DISASTER, folks. Bullet B-Rob? LOSER! And let’s be real, the PRC keeps saying it—Billy needs Chase to be CONSISTENT, folks, like REALLY consistent, if he wants to be a CHAMPION. Easy matchup in the Family division against the Kavorka this week. Should help cure those “bone spurs” holding this team back. We’ll see what happens! #MakeFHS07GreatAgain
#9
2 Bills 1 Kupp
🤼Justin Bohnlein⭐⭐
Boner has been calling up his old Cincy contact—not, mind you, to reminisce about those evenings at Archie’s where he’d attempt to court this contact with his promiscuous ice cream-licking skills. No, this time he’s after info on the new Bengals RB, Herbert (it is this Ownership’s belief that they must have all the Bengals RBs this year). But when he told this contact he only had $44 to work with, the contact barely held back a scoff, reminding him that he never had the cash to take the contact anywhere nice—one of the many reasons it just didn’t work out. Dana listening in, could only nod knowingly; after all, the best Boner ever offered her was Texas Roadhouse.

Unwaivering Faith
#12
Wohl's Across America
Here lies the epitaph of a season doomed by its youthful, erratic wide receivers: "Inconsistency claimed our spirit." Few ESPN fantasy rosters boasting Saquon Barkley will find themselves outside the playoff grounds; indeed, a staggering percentage of managers with Philadelphia’s RB will celebrate league victories by season’s end. But in the hallowed battleground of the DelFL, success demands more than a single star. Only a well-rounded squad rises from the ashes of adversity. Though Jesse’s postseason pulse hasn’t fully flatlined, resurrecting this receiving corps may require divine intervention—and a spark beyond even Barkley’s power to awaken this team from its Giorgio Cup grave.
#13
Brown Sugar Pies
🪓Giorgio Carotti⭐
Giorgio has all the right ingredients to bake up a winning streak, though even a perfect run likely won’t serve him a playoff spot. Still, this team has a tantalizing shot at claiming its first-ever namesake Giorgio Cup. The bittersweet “what if” of the season lingers: “What if” the Brown Sugar Pies hadn’t faced such an onslaught of scoring early on? In that alternate recipe, the PRC might be savoring the idea of a championship repeat. But that pie never made it to the oven, and sometimes you’re left scouring the pantry, making do with whatever scraps remain.
#15
McBridesmaids
🚽Yanni Kalouris
Fort Myers is no stranger to bearing the weight of history, typically bracing for spiraling storms from the Gulf of Mexico ready to surge ashore. This time, however, instead of a hurricane's mighty force, it's as if an asthmatic chain smoker is feebly blowing hot air at the coastline. Weak or not, the McBridesmaids might inadvertently hand the White Wolf their first victory, especially with Dak Prescott sidelined by injury. Yanni is keen to avoid becoming the answer to the Jeopardy question of who Keith finally beat to end his record-breaking losing streak. Despite the White Wolf's meager threat compared to the usual tempests Fort Myers endures, the PRC senses an unexpected vulnerability.
#16
Ouch: Tush Push Hurts
🚽Tony Alessi
Entering the softly lit izakaya, Tony was enveloped by the aromas of fresh sashimi, pickled gari, and lingering Asahi. The itamae bowed as he and Natalie slid into a tatami-lined booth beneath paper lanterns casting ukiyo-e shadows. The chef, resembling Njigba-san—the rising nigiri maestro—placed a majestic tai on the pristine board. Wielding his santoku like a samurai's katana, he cleaved the fish with effortless grace. In that fleeting moment, Fish grasped the metaphor: he had tumbled once more from Mount Delji's sacred summit—a peak he had strived to conquer for nineteen years. Finishing his sake, he returned to his ryokan's onsen, seeking solace among the snow monkeys in the steaming springs beneath falling sakura petals.
