Steve's Week 15 Rankings

16 ranked teams - Steve Dugas - records through Week 14
Burger Buddies 9-5 Top 3 - 6 Weeks

Buddies are hands down the favorite to come away with the title and their odds stand at +300 to do so. The QBs are warm to hot and that RB room is an automatic 30 points a week.

Point Diff. +129

Chunky Chickens 10-4 Top 3 - 2 Weeks

Outside of Hurts this team is long in the tooth and this might be their best shot at bringing home a title for the next few years as they have to start thinking about retooling and getting younger. +550 to win it all.

Point Diff. +139

Cuban Refugees 9-5 Top 3 - 2 Weeks

Josh Allen will give this team a shot and has a great playoff schedule starting with a shootout with the Lions. The lack of a kicker for the playoffs will be tough with McPherson injured and Slye about to lose his job to Parker-Romo. +2000 odds.

Point Diff. +130

Ludke's Merry Men 9-5 Top 5 - 15 Weeks

After not looking like they would break 20 points when it was around 3pm the MM from the beginning of the season showed up. After regaining the bye and winning 4 of their last 5 has this team turned the corner or are they still running on fumes? Time will tell. +700 to get some hardware for the first time in over a decade.

Memphis Brothers 9-5 Top 5 - 9 Weeks

Brothers are just happy to be here at this point. And I have good news, they'll be happy to be advancing to the NFC Title game after their Lions score 40+ in the upcoming game with the Bills. +1600 (so they have a chance....)

What a valiant effort. Frankly I was shocked Burrow didn't get them over the top Monday night. Great season Beans. Can't wait to see what you do with a healthier team next year.

Solid year from a solid team. Little better luck in just one game and they win division. Hopefully Herbert gets some better weapons this offseason to increase his fantasy output. Biggest offseason need is going to be RB. Also it's definitely a relief to see JSN breakout.

Lamar Jackson is going to win YFFL MVP for helping the White Guys win the division. +4000, there's just no way this team is the last one standing....right?

Llamas already counting down the 268 days until the 2025 season starts. On an absolute heater the last three games averaging 61 points a game.

Looking at the scores the Eaters put up it's hard to figure out how they won 5 games. Kurt has some studs to build around, but he needs Love to be better than average, I think we'll find out he played with a major injury all season.

The fact that Trey McBride doesn't have a receiving TD yet this season is just wild.

Huskers almost did all the heavy lifting to play spoiler and get the Beans into the playoffs. Cowboys should have fed Dowdle the ball all game long, he couldn't be stopped and Cooper Rush was awful. If he'd have had the 30 carries he deserved I think he would have scored and Huskers would have downed the Brothers.

Chris is gonna be a popular guy next August as he is going to field plenty of offers for his three QBs.

Ja'Marr Chase came within a handful of points from taking down Randy Moss' hallowed single season scoring record. Remember when he took a year off from college and then couldn't catch the football in training camp? Well the four YFFL teams that passed on him sure do. Still can't believe Bobby could have had a Burrow and Chase stack.

Fun group but couldn't get on the same page. Dropped 6 of last 7 after breaking frontpage curse (checks notes....only win was the Taysom Hill game vs Mallards - slams head into desk).

They'll go as CJ Stroud goes next year.
