Things to Watch for in the Last Week

WOW, we are finally entering the final week of the regular season. Talk about a lot of change going on in the league and on these teams! In the AFC the Bengals are the one of two teams that have clinched a spot going in to the final week, they do still need to win a couple games to secure the number one seed. They have a big game on Monday night versus the Raiders that could benefit OR hurt them by the end of the week. With their owner retiring their team is still picking up the pieces, so anything could happen! The Raiders are currently sitting comfortably in the second spot and have a decent gap between them and the Colts. Not only do they have a big game against the Bengals, they also have one on Sunday night vs. the Colts who are trailing them in the division. The Colts and Steelers are separated by 2 games for the 3rd and 4th seed. The Colts and Steelers may decide those seeds Monday night at 9. The Patriots aren’t dead yet, BUT, they have a big hill to climb. They need to start winning some games while hoping the Steelers finally turn into what everyone thought they would be this season. EVERY game is a big one for them this week.

In the NFC we have one team that has clinched playoffs going into the final week in the Football Team. They have a decent lead on the Saints and will face off Sunday night with them to possibly clinch the one seed! The Saints are in a pretty comfortable spot holding the 2nd spot, they need to win a couple games to secure it BUT are guaranteed a playoff spot no matter what happens with 4 wins this week. The Dolphins, Eagles, and Falcons are separated between 2 games. We should see a lot of movement (and excitement) in this race to the finish. They all play each other at least once this week but every game is huge for them! Not only do we have a great last week filled with meaningful games, we will get to see the battle for MVP finish up too. Right now it’s between NORTHZIDE and Beaste! Let’s have a great last week!

Mocarbone

B

Movss x

B

Im not sure on what position these players are. I know mocarbone from back in the day and he was a player who will show up and play his part. this is a trade that definitely does not hurt either team and should be beneficial for the players as well moving into week 2.

A B- C+

Fig,
Outaker

Never practices

Jusst Smoove

With the steelers receiving never practice and saints just smoove this are two decent acquisitions for the teams. But no one can know why each person got moved but there is nothing better than fixing your locker room. From the outlooks it looks like the dolphins have upgraded their lineup they have made many moves in week one definitely a win for the dolphins. Especially for the dline gathering a veteran dlinman like outaker is a win couple that with a solid RB in fig neither being a locker room issue this should smoove some things over for the dolphins. As for never practices aka rivals. He is a solid player i hear that he may have to take an IR in the future. This is something that may effect things in the future. Just smoove is just a man that is happy to be out of mia. all reports state that he wanted to be shipped out of miami and now that wish has been granted. We shall see what the levies hold in NO.

Notable Position Changes

NateCashMoney

DB to DL

With the change coming before their first week nate has had three games in at DLINE. Although the change was sudden it came due to a simple line adjustment. With realest moving to WR so Nate could stay at RB and nate made the move to DLine bc realest calls the defense. So it was a win win for the line as unit. As of the end of week one Nate is sitting with 8 sacks.

Q&A

i was able to chat with nate and asked him how he felt at dline.

A: It feels good I want to be on defense more than offense

I feel like I left a couple plays out there so I know there’s room for improvement I just wanna get better

Gabe ILY

QB to RB

Another position change in Mia. Again coming off a struggling week they are looking to shake things up. Gabe just could not hack it at with playing 2 games going 0-2 completing 14-22 passes throwing 2 ints both going back for tds costing them big. This was a main reason for the 0-2 record he holds. With the switch coming in he will now be backpacking off the qb works ebok/kobe maybe not having the ball in hand to start he can manage to scrape some wins together. But with kobe already going 2-1 in week one it cant change to much for them. What is in store for the other two lines we will be waiting to find out.

KOBE interview 

I tracked down the owner of the dolphins to see how he felt about his max bid switching position off QB to RB.

Q:how he felt about his max bid changing positions?.

“Gabe is a stupid shi**er who is used to getting carried by everyone for his entire VFL career. Abyss & Breesuss had to put him in the backpack just so gabe could keep his ego. Now he’s beggin DADDY to come save his season. It’s pathetic cuz i expected gabe to have a top tier season at QB but now i’m sittin here with a useless max bid. I honestly might trade him by the end of the season.”

Q: How do you feel your other two lines will do now that your max bid has moved off of QB?

Blunkey is going to play good & win games with fig & outaker on his line. Awesome is getting a new line with him, accountant & try so i have faith in them to put together some wins. I expect us to put together winning weeks but you never know what’ll happen.

Q:With new lines coming in. i know you said you have faith in them to get some wins do you expect to have a flipped week next week? i know your team only got three wins this week what are your projections for week two with your current changes?

I expect my line to go 9-0 for the rest of the season. Only way we’ll lose is if i shit it up at QB. Blunkey & awesome have been in the lab so i can see the dolphins going 6-3 next week.

Nates Post Draft Power Rankings

10. Steelers

This team has an interesting roster. Their first two picks are questionable at best. The best QB on this roster is signed up at WR. Behe is a good veteran player. They do have a few solid players on the team but for the most part this team is (bree)suss.

9. Patriots

The roster on this team has a few studs starting off with Shady on xbox and 1st round pick tmo. Out side of them they have a couple seasoned vets and some people they maybe meant to draft in the VBA and not over here (whoops). I just don’t like the patriots TEAM but if tmos 3-3-5 keeps balling out they may be able to survive. Ezakimak MUST play QB or we (I) RIOT.

8. Dolphins

The Phins have some household names on this roster. I’m sure Kuhrow will find a way to get pressure with that d-line. A big position change will be Gabe playing QB. I’m sure he will be fine but it’s hard to judge when you’ve never seen it before. Can we get my RB Smoove (I was his QB FIRST) a good running back for a full season to use for once?

7. Falcons

This could be the sneaky roster that I think I may have ranked too low led by McCoy. Just kidding! Dirty and TXJamesSmith are good quarterbacks and if you ever needed good ones it’d be this season. Hopefully Dirtys schedule is more open this season so he can have more success. I am tempted to rename this team “Cover 3 Beaters” I guess we will wait and see.

6. Eagles

What do we have here? Another solid roster put together by areis featuring two good qbs in Hutch and Warpath. A good running back in King Jon, and one of the nicer dbs in the league JP. This is a team I could see going higher but not too far lower.

5. Raiders

(Sorry I have to do it) Daaaaaa rraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaidaz edged out the Falcons and Eagles just because of their team. Ty is a good QB and he got his boy orlando. (SB champs) They do have some Qbs that need to prove themselves this season and the fan favorite MR JOHNNY MF*KN WHEELS!! Don’t get it twisted!!!

4. Colts

Did I mention they have Jonathan Taylor?? A really good madden team + good players = success. A lot of familiar faces from this past Super Bowl which is no surprise. Not only are five of the winners returning, they also got runner up Ace Boogs and the previous seasons undefeated, undisputed, GOAT Marcdog. This team could make a deep run with this loaded roster. Sometimes drafting people who have been there/done that may not have the greatest regular season but once they get in the dance, they know how to win.

3. Saints

My favorite team pick this season slides to number 3 post draft. They have one of the best Qbs in the league in Ponchy whos coming off of a tough out last season with the Seahawks. They drafted good role players in Outaker and Kwame. Mocarbone is a decent quarterback. Solid roster all around, would be surprised if they missed playoffs.

2. Commanders

Welcome back Beaste, you did it again! Built a very good roster that rivals the number one spot and wouldn’t be surprised if they won it all. Player to watch is going to be the 3rd QB KoolAiDz who’s been back on madden for all of a week! We will see if Beaste’s Super Bowl winning ways can rub off on Kirk Cousins, I mean, Kxng Champ. It’s not always about the regular season numbers, we will see if that changes this year.

1. Bengals

Realest put himself together a great roster this season with arguably the best TEAM selected to use. Abyss is the two-time reigning MVP at QB and looks to go for his third. Brady is looking to make a deep run in the playoffs this season and he will finally not have to carry the team on his back like he has previously. With this ranking comes expectations, no excuses.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 8, 9, 10/10

*Being that the draft got moved up, my top three teams will share this final post*

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Owner Grof

3rd Ranked Team (Picked 3rd)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 8th

Running Back 2nd

Receiving Core 7th

Offensive Line 1st

Front Seven 5th

Back End 8th

It took no time for the last team to be added in the pool to be taken off the board. Being a running back myself makes this team my favorite pick. Imagine being able to use that BEAST Jonathan Taylor (RB) behind the best offensive line in the league! Although Carson Wentz (QB) is rated pretty low, he’s got nice throw power to sling the ball to some good, not great, speedy receivers. Did I mention they have JONATHAN TAYLOR?

On defense they have a couple of STUDS. Deforest Buckner (DT) is going to be one of the best defensive lineman this year. They also may have the best linebacker in Darius Leonard. Let’s see if they can put that strip specialist to use this season. (Bobby Okereke is also 88SPD and MLB should be a good user) The secondary is OK featuring Xavier Rhodes (80) and Rock Ya-Sin (79). This could very well be one of the teams that gets thrown on this season.

Reigning Super Bowl winning owner Grof is starting off his second season with a great team pick here as he will be looking to repeat. In the draft he needs to find three good running backs who can carry this team on offense. Defensively he needs to get himself a good d-lineman to get pressure with Buckner and a good defensive back to make some plays with an average secondary. Did I mention they have JONATHAN TAYLOR?

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Owner Realest

2nd Ranked Team (Picked 10th)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 1st

Running Back 1st

Receiving Core 2nd

Offensive Line 7th

Front Seven 8th

Back End 4th

What a steal with the last pick of the draft to nab the highest overall team of this season at 86 overall. This team features the best quarterback (Joe Burrow) and running back (Joe Mixon) in the league. (Not sure how Mixon is rated 1 higher than Jonathan Taylor because I’d argue Taylor over Mixon easy) They also have the second highest receiving core featuring offensive Rookie of the Year (WR) Jamarr Chase with a blazing 94 speed. Wide receivers Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are no slouches either. This team should score the most points on offense this season. Their downfall is the bad offensive line.

Their front seven includes (DE) Trey Hendrickson and (DT) DJ Reader. The linebacking group has nothing worth bringing up but they have a strong secondary featuring one of the leagues best safeties Jessie Bates (92 OVR). They also have one of the fastest secondary groups this season. The front seven was one of the factors they aren’t my #1 team.

A few seasons ago the Bengals were picked among some of the NFLs best. They don’t match up well against better teams because of their speed and Burrows wind up. That team still made the playoffs. This draft Realest will be looking to pick up some top tier receiver talent to get open with Jamarr. On defense he will need some good user linebackers to figure out their LB situation. This season against some of the lower NFL rosters should set up this team for greatness. I mean somehow they made it to the Super Bowl and this season I think we will find out why.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Owner Lucky

1st Ranked Team (Picked 1st)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 5th

Running Back 3rd

Receiving Core 8th

Offensive Line 3rd

Front Seven 2nd

Back End 2nd

Finally, we made it guys! Lucky didn’t screw up the 1st overall pick by picking the best team this season! I really like Alvin Kamara (RB) on this team as my favorite receiving back in the league. And what do I like even more? This offensive line where both of the tackles have edge protector. I think that will help aid the decent QB in Jameis Winston (90THP) throw to Kamara and WR Michael Thomas. This team should be able to bully opposing defensive linemen.

These guys are ranked top 2 in both of my categories on defense. Let’s start with superstar Xfactor Cameron Jordan (LE 92OVR) followed by (RE) Marcus Davenport, and (DT) David Onyemata. At linebacker we have the second best player on the roster in Demario Davis (92OVR, Secure Tackler). Their defensive backs keep the show going with Marshon Lattimore (88 OVR 93SPD), Marcus Williams (FS 84OVR), strong safeties Malcom Jenkins (83OVR) and CJ Gardner Johnson (82 OVR 90 SPD), and lastly Bradley Roby (CB 80OVR). This team is stacked on defense, no doubt about it.

The Saints edged out the Bengals for me because of their trenches, where games are won and lost. There’s no doubt in my mind that if Lucky can nail the draft this team will have an opportunity to hoist the Lombardi this season. This team will need strong running backs to help the quarterbacks out. On the other side he needs to go get someone whos going to cause havoc with Cam Jordan on mostly weak offensive lines. There’s nothing better than a well balanced team. I’d rather my team be good at many things than great at one thing.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 7/10

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Owner Mr Ohio

4th Ranked Team (Picked 6th)

Positional Ranks
Quarterback 2nd

Running Back 4th

Receiving Core 3rd

Offensive Line 8th

Front Seven 6th

Back End 6th

Da Raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiders (Chris Berman voice) come in as my 4th ranked team. Some of you newer people may not remember from season one that the “we ball” gang took these same Raiders (well, with WR Henry Ruggs) to the superbowl in season 1. They may not have Ruggs anymore but they replaced him with another speedster Desean Jackson (95 speed). They arguably have the best quarterback in the league (depending on your values, but an accurate passer with 91THP is awesome). The running back solid in Josh Jacobs and they have a decent receiving back in Kenyan Drake. The offensive line could be a problem. The ranks were based off for sure starters but like the Eagles, Richie Incognito isn’t factored into the algorithm. If they can sub him in they climb the ranking abit. It’s funny that the higher my rankings go the more you forget to bring up they even have an Xfactor tight end in Darren Waller. Stud!
Defensively they don’t have any huge name players BUT they have a solid core that with decent users should do fine. Well… aside from linebacker (yikes). Maxx Crosby (LE) and Yannick Ngakoue are good players to have coming off the edge. They also have one of my favorite defensive backs in Casey Hayward (still can’t believe the Packers let him walk years ago, imaging him with Jaire) and the youngster Trayvon Mullen Jr. The safeties aren’t terrible to user either in Abram (92 speed), and Moehrig (90 speed).
Mr Ohio has a good team here and if he has an impressive draft this is going to be a team that could be scary. This might be as close to gun slinger as there is in the league this season. I’d like to see him draft a good running back to try and get the most from Jacobs, especially if they can sub in Incognito at guard. Defensively go and get a pass rusher who can dominate with Crosby. This team was a steal at the 6th pick in the draft.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 6/10

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

Owner: Beaste

5th Ranked Team (Picked 2nd)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 9th

Running Back 9th

Receiving Core 6th

Offensive Line 5th

Front Seven 4th

Back End 7th

Ryan Fitzpatricks Washington Football Team comes in as my 5th ranked team! This team was an interesting pick taken at 2 this season. The quarterback and runningback are ALMOST the worst. The offensive line is average which should help even out how bad those two positions are, but they have one of my favorite players at receiver in Scary Terry (Mclaurin). Talk about a beast! He reminds me of a young Deandre Hopkins in that he still puts up numbers even with trash quarterbacks.

Defensively these guys have some fun players. Its a very similar team to yesterdays Pittsburgh Steelers. The defensive line features superstar Chase Young, Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, and Montez Sweat. They even have a third DT in Matthew Ioannidis who’s an 80 OVR! I’m rushing five every play, I don’t care. Looking through the roster I couldn’t find a linebacker worth talking about (Holcomb??). But the secondary has a few bright spots in Kendall Fuller (88OVR) and William Jackson (84). Having Landon Collins (SS) in the box should be fun, too.

This team has some fun talent on both sides of the ball. As much as I don’t like Fitzpatrick I don’t think that Beaste would have chose this team if he didn’t feel like he was alright. He will need to draft two other good quarterbacks to be successful this season. On defense I’m looking, again, for some monster defensive line users. It should be really fun for them getting to the quarterback all season against these weak offensive lines. Could he have traded back and still picked them? I think so. But as owner of the Super Bowl winning Browns in season 2, I won’t question him too much.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 4/10

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Owner: Areis

7th Ranked Team (Picked 5th)

Positional Ranks:

Quarterback 6th

Running Back 8th

Receiving Core 9th

Offensive Line 4th

Front Seven 7th

Back End 5th

The Eagles come in as my 7th ranked team in the draft. This is where things got hard for me with so many teams coming up that I grade close together. One thing I really like on this offense is the offensive line (especially if they are able to sub Brandon Brooks in). Other than that they have an OK running back, a fast but weak armed QB in Jalen Hurts, and some low overall receivers. I think that the offense will thrive off big plays from players like Devonta Smith and Quez Watkins (98 Speed).

On the defensive line you will find two good players in Javon Hargrave, Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox. The secondary also has some good players like superstar Darius Slay and corner Avonte Maddox (93 Speed). There is nothing to talk about at linebacker on this team, but I could see the defensive line causing some issues this year against some fairly weak offensive line play.

The Eagles are really good in the trenches which helps them be a balanced football team. Areis needs to find himself some good receivers in the draft to utilize the speed this team has. On defense the biggest need would be a good user linebacker to figure out what to do on that second level. This team has some game-changing pieces on it that with right draft picks could do some real damage. It’s nice to see another team with a good kick returned in Quez Watkins.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 3/10

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Owner: Fear Painkiller

8th Ranked Team (Picked 9th)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 4th

Running Back 7th

Receiving Core 4th

Offensive Line 2nd

Front Seven 3rd

Back End 1st

The Patriots being ranked this low may come as a surprise because looking at the positional ranks you might think that this team was a steal in the draft! But then I dug deeper… The offensive line is one of the best in the league. Aside from that they have our second noodle armed quarterback this season in Mac Jones (85 Throw Power). Their running back is below average, but their receiving core looks like it must be really great……..if they run a dual tight end set? There is no speed to be found on this offense.

On defense I’m thinking they will be subbing in Matthew Judon (edge threat) and possibly Dont’a Hightower on the opposite side of him to rush the passer. The other superstar players to look out for are free safety Devin McCourty and cornerback JC Jackson. I’m not sure if they can sub in Jonathan Jones in or not but if they can this will be a LOCKDOWN secondary. I don’t know WHO is going to be the linebacker on the field. We will have to wait and see.

This team reminds me a lot of Season 4’s Los Angeles Rams team. I think it will be a struggle to win with this team if you don’t play perfect on offense. Games will need to be won on defense with this team. When it comes to the draft I think they will need to find some running backs that don’t need ball carrier moves to be successful and to take advantage of that offensive line. On defense they need good defensive line users. If they can make some quarterbacks get rid of the ball before they want to they have the secondary to make them pay.

SEASON 5 TEAM DRAFT RANKINGS DAY 2/10

ATLANTA FALCONS

Owner: Game Green

9th Ranked Team (Picked 7th, but technically 10th because they missed their pick?)

Positional Ranks

Quarterback 3rd

Running Back 5th

Receiving Core 10th

Offensive Line 6th

Front Seven 9th

Back End 10th

The Atlanta Falcons are barely edging out yesterdays Dolphins for the 9th spot in these rankings. The two things I like most about this team on offense are running back Cordarrelle Patterson and tight end Kyle Pitts. I think the two weak spots on offense are the wide receivers and Matt Ryans noodle arm (although he does have OK throwing stats it’s hard to get behind 85 throw power). The offensive line is just average.

Defensively, there are many holes on this team. No position group stands out BUT they do have a few playmakers in: defensive end Grady Jarrett, two 90 speed linebackers in Deion Jones and Foyesade Oluokun, and the highest rated player on their team, cornerback AJ Terrell Jr (87 Overall). Even though their secondary is weak they do have three defensive backs above 92 speed for what that is worth. Like the Dolphins, they also have an awesome kick returner in Cordarrelle Patterson. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some return touchdowns from them as well.

This team has some playmakers on it with the right users. The quarterback won’t wow with deep shots but will be accurate. Aside from Alvin Kamara I think Patterson is the best receiving back in the league. Game Green will have to draft a good receiving back to elevate this offense. Sure, a great user receiver is nice to have, but I’m not sure how much that will help this team. On defense they can get by with some good users in the draft. There’s a good player on each level for users to maximize the defenses potential. It’s too bad that he missed his pick in the team draft but I don’t think it could have worked out much better for him.
