Week 7 · Tuesday desk
Power rankings
Rest-of-season board, after week 7. Fuss is 6–1 and the five-week scoring run stopped. Nathan is 6–1. Greer had the high score and is 3–4. Thomas lost to the roster Hefner kept.
How we rank
Slots
QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, TE, both flex spots. Ten teams so the waiver is dead and the starters have to be real.
Scoring
No PPR, 4-point passing TDs, kickers by the yard. Workhorse backs and red-zone guys get paid. PPR slot receivers do not.
Depth
Sixteen on the bench. Bye weeks and start/sit still decide Mondays. A second quarterback is a luxury, not a Superflex.
Results
Week 7 is in. Greer had 137 and the high score. Fuss had 127 and won. Hefner had 118. Holden had 54.
S · Unbelievable
Historically good. All-time TFL, not just first this week.

Soul Men
Fuss · 6–1 · 946.8 on the year
The scoring run stopped at five, and he is still the team. Weeks 2 through 6 were his. Week 7 was Greer’s, at 137, and Fuss had 127 and beat Devyn. He is 6–1 with 947 points. Shough had a normal 14 after the 27. JSN and Javonte had 22 apiece. S is for the season he is having, not for a sixth week that did not happen. Week 8 is John Mitchell, who just scored 65.

UnderachievingDelinquents
Nathan · 6–1 · 885.8 on the year
He is 6–1 with 886 points, and the pieces he bought had a week. Taylor had 17, Amon-Ra had 15, and the rest of the card was Gibbs, Kyren, and CeeDee. He beat Mitchell 125 to 65. He still has not had the high score. That is fine. The other 6–1 is the only team clearly in front of him, and even that is on points, not on the record. Week 8 is Greer, who just led the league.
A · Very good
A real contender. One hole, not three.

Walkernda Forever
Thomas · 5–2 · 742.1 on the year
He is 5–2, and the week was the problem the freeze cannot answer. Hefner scored 118 with the roster he kept. Walker had 6. Caleb had 22 and McBride had 17, and it was 85. He still has the lightest points of the teams in front of the cut, at 742. He is still the West leader. He still cannot trade. Week 8 is Holden, who just scored 54.

Turd Ferguson
Holden · 5–2 · 769.2 on the year
He is 5–2, which is why he is still up here, and the week was 54, which is why he is not third. Bijan had 12. Bernard had 3. Skattebo had 18 on the bench and Willis had 26. Morgan beat him with 77. The record is a contender’s record. The floor is not. Week 8 is Thomas, who is also 5–2 and cannot deal.
B · Good
Alive in a six-team field. Not the favorite.

Orphans at a Bar
Greer · 3–4 · 757.6 on the year
137, and the high score, and he is 3–4. Pollard had 33.5. That is the best player week in the league, on a roster people have been waiting on since September. The points for the year are 758, which is more than Thomas and more than Holden. The losses are already banked. One Sunday does not make a seed. It does move him past the idea that the names are a rumor. Week 8 is Nathan.
- 6
White Quarterbacks
Morgan · 4–3 · 696.2 on the year
He won, and the number was 77. He is 4–3 and second in the West. Corum had 16 and Purdy had 12. Holden did the hard part by scoring 54. That still counts, and it is not a roster you move up a tier for. Week 8 is Lucas, who is 0–7. A win there keeps the West’s second spot boring, which is what he wants.
- 7
Brockalypse Now
John Mitchell · 3–4 · 629.7 on the year
He is 3–4, and the first week of the new roster was 65. Young had 5. Cousins had 20 on the bench. Barkley had 13 and sat. Henry did not have a line. He paid three firsts for a Sunday that did not show up. The bet is still Henry having a job when he plays, which is why this is not a C yet. Week 8 is Fuss. That is a mean week to go looking for the first good one.
C · Average
The middle of a 10-team league. Fine until it isn’t.
- 8
The Flowers Shop
Hefner · 2–5 · 737.2 on the year
He is 2–5, and he just scored 118 against the champ. Maye had 27, Judkins had 22, Flowers had 20, Jacobs had 15. The sale is still the season. One week does not walk back the record, and it does mean the lineup he kept can play. He has 737 points, which is a lot for 2–5. Week 8 is Devyn, who just scored 115 and lost.
- 9
Juwana see it?
Devyn · 1–6 · 650.0 on the year
He scored 115 and lost to Fuss by twelve. Burrow had 29, Bucky had 23, Higgins had 21. That is a real week, and he is 1–6. Close to the best team is not a turn. The record is the record. Week 8 is Hefner, which is the first game in a while where both sides just showed they can score.
F · Really, really bad
The roster that makes the rest of the room exhale.
- 10
Hot Garbage
Lucas · 0–7 · 560.9 on the year
84, and he is 0–7. Burden had 20, Love had 17, Jeanty had 14, Aubrey had 14. Greer had 137. There is no version of this week that was close, and there is no win on the sheet to argue with. Week 8 is Morgan. A claim does not fix seven losses.
