2026 2-Round Mock Draft

1.01: Texas ToughTitz Select RB Jeremiyah Love (Cardinals)

After a 3-11 season, Texas officially secured themselves with the #1 Overall Pick in the 2026 Brinasty Draft. Maybe the easiest pick to make, as a selection of RB J. Love, whose draft capital of 3rd Overall speaks volume alone, will immediately step into the staring RB role on the team. He’ll be pairing himself with RB James Cook, as an impressive dynasty duo for the future.

1.02: Bethlehem Betslips Select WR Carnell Tate (Titans)

As a member with Bethlethem in different dynasty league, the one thing I can say about this pick is that it’s very…unpredictable. One of the Betslips strengths is definitely it’s WR depth, which makes this pick certainly in contention to select RB Jadarian Price from Seattle. However, the 1.02 for Price could be considered “early”, while it’s hard to pass on the draft capitol and pure volume Tate will receive in Tennessee, and it could be an easier path to trade one of those WRs for an RB while still adding Tate.

1.03: Brooklyn Bacala’s Select WR Jordan Tyson (Saints)

RB David Montgomery’s departure from Detroit created some pretty solid depth for Brooklyn, and in my opinion this team has a core of 3 strong RB’s (Gibbs, Hall, Monty) and 3 strong WR’s (Pickens, McMillan, Wilson) for 2026 that allows them to just take the overall best player on the board, and this case being WR J. Tyson. Adding Tyson adds some FLEX vulnerability, especially after the news that Travis Hunter will play more CB. TE Kenyon Sadiq could be in play here, but the Kraft/Kincaid Duo could be enough to go a different route.

1.04: Washington Redskins Select RB Jadarian Price (Seahawks)

This first of two back-to-back picks for Washington, 4th Overall this teams selects the 2nd RB taken in the 1st Round in Jadarian Price of the Seattle Seahawks. The only true “need” I see in this team is a RB3 to go behind the strong dyansty duo of Jeanty & Achane, as Price could compete with RB RJ Harvey to start in the Flex role every week. Charbonnet isn’t projected to return till late November, and Price could run away with the backfield in the time he’s out.

1.05: Washington Redskins Select WR Makai Lemon (Eagles)

As a team called the “Washington Redskins” I’m sure they’re not ecstatic to select a Philadelphia Wide Receiver, but this selection makes too much sense. I debated QB Fernando Mendoza here just to give the team a solid trio of QB options, but pairing WR M. Lemon with starting QB Jalen Hurts makes for too strong of a potential QB/WR stack to pass up on.

1.06: San Diego ThundaNutz Select TE Kenyon Sadiq (Jets)

With the most selections in the 2026 draft, including two first round picks, San Diego could go a number of ways with this pick. After trading away TE Tyler Warren, adding the TE of the draft could be nice fit for the ThundaNutz. I think Sadiq’s real value lies in 2027 (When the Jets finally get a QB) and could allow the team to see what they can get out of some TE’s such as O. Gadsden until Sadiq is consistent on a fantasy level.

1.07: Philly Piends Select WR KC Concepcion (Browns)

From this pick on, the board could really go anyway. Philly held onto all their 2026 Draft Capitol, and at the 7th Pick select Browns WR KC Concepcion. This was a tough pick to navigate, as the team’s top need would be a RB2 to pair up with Saquan Barkley, but 7th Overall feels too high to select a Day 3 RB such as Singleton. This feels like a perfect trade down spot, but if they stick with the pick and go best available, Concepcion is the guy.

1.08: Chicago Scoregasm Selects WR Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets)

For Starters, Chicago’s RB room is insane. I can tell you right now they’re not taking one here at the 8th pick. I definitely think this could be a TE Spot, with TE Eli Stowers on the board to backup/compete with Jake Ferguson, or even a QB spot with 3 “older” QB’s on the roster. But Chicago sticks with a WR pick and selects a 1st Round talent in Cooper Jr.

1.09: San Diego ThundaNutz Select WR De’Zhaun Stribling (49ers)

The 2nd of San Diego’s two first round picks, WR De’Zhaun Stribling goes off the board. Cooper Jr typically could be on board here in most drafts, but I doubt after selecting K.Sadiq the ThundaNutz want to double up on the Jets. The 49ers selected Stribling 33rd Overall after trading down multiple times, showing he can be a focus of the offense with Mike Evans, especially with the expected Aiyuk departure.

1.10: New Jersey Hurts Selects TE Eli Stowers

The reigning champs don’t really have a top positional need, which could allow them to just take best available here, but Stowers makes too much sense. After Kittle’s injury, New Jersey can pair up Stowers with Goedert on their roster, guaranteeing themselves the Philadelphia TE Room.

2.01: Texas ToughTits Select QB Fernando Mendoza (Raiders)

11th Overall feels like a fall for Mendoza, but in a 1 QB league and no team having a true need for QB he lands in Texas. Mendoza immediately becomes the QB2 on the depth chart behind Lamar Jackson.

2.02: San Diego ThundaNutz Select RB Nicholas Singleton (Titans)

I still think this is high for Singleton, but after taking a WR & TE with the first two selections, San Diego has some room to take a big swing and add to the RB Room.

2.03: Brooklyn Bacala’s Select WR Denzel Boston (Browns)

The 2nd Round could go a million different ways, their no real order like previous rookie drafts. Brooklyn doubles up on WR’s and takes a flyer on Denzel Boston emerging in Cleveland.

2.04: Dodge City Finger Guns Select WR Antonio Williams (Commanders)

The first selection for Dodge City in the 2026 Draft, WR Antionio Williams provides the highest volume versus the rest of the board and adds some WR depth behind Jefferson and Higgins.

2.05: Washington Redskins Select RB Jonah Coleman (Broncos)

Washington makes this pick easy and pairs RB Jonah Coleman with RJ Harvey to secure the Denver Backfield.

2.06: San Diego ThundaNutz Selects WR Germie Bernard (Steelers)

Sometimes good players fall later then they should, and I think this would be the case for Bernard here. San Diego pairs Bernard with Pittman in Pittsburgh and adds their 2nd WR of the draft.

2.07: Philly Piends Select WR Chris Bell (Dolphins)

Another spot where the team might prefer an RB, but it’s hard to justify any here after the Top 4 have already went. Philly takes the shot on getting the WR1 in Miami.

2.08: Chicago Scoregasm Select QB Ty Simpson (Rams)

The Matthew Stafford team lands his successor; Simpson sits on the taxi squad until he takes over as the main guy in McVay’s offense.

2.09: Dodge City Finger Guns Select TE Max Klare (Rams)

Dodge City’s 2nd selection of 2nd Round lands TE Max Klare from the Rams. This team has TE Brock Bowers, but no true backup outside of him. DC takes the risk on Klare becoming a big piece of McVay’s Offense.

2.10: New Jersey Hurts Selects WR Chris Brazzell II (Panthers)

Theres about 10 different WR’s that could go in this spot. Brazzell feels like the safest one of the bunch.

  • Week 3 MVP: Yordan Alvarez (40)
  • Week 4 MVP: Nolan McLean (32)
  • Week 4 LVP: Brayan Bello (-25)
  • Season MVP: Yordan Alvarez (150)

Palm Beach doesn’t want to be here in the rankings, and I don’t want to put them here, but the reality of the situation is Palm Beach is 0-6 in the last 3 weeks and struggling so far. After a Week 4 loss to now 2-4 Metro Brozak, the Diamond Ducks lineup isn’t enough to fix the glaring issue of the injuries currently in the rotation. In the last 3 Weeks, more injuries have happened, this time losing two RPs in Duran & Palencia, and two hitters in Langford & Donovan.

On a bright side, Yordan Alvarez is the current MVP, having a 150 Points as the best hitter in baseball. Noah Schultz has been great in his 3 Major League starts since being called up, and Nolan McLean has surpassed 100 Points on the season with no start generating less then 10 Points.

The injury bug took Palm Beach out of playoff contention in 2025, and it looks like it’s hanging around in 2026.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Cole Blooded (5-3)

7. Metro Brozak (2-6)

  • Move: ⬆️1
  • Week 2 MVP: Taj Bradley (39)
  • Week 3 MVP: Ben Rice (32)
  • Week 4 MVP: Tyler Glasnow (37)
  • Week 4 LVP: Willy Adames (-8)
  • Season MVP: Jose Soriano (149)

In 2025, Metro Brozak only won 1 game Head-to-Head, and in the big 2026, the team has already doubled that, winning against Cole Blooded & Palm Beach in the last 3 weeks. After having Zero Median Wins last year, the trend has continued as the team is currently 0-4 in category this year. The team is still last in total points, hence a ranking at 7.

Metro Brozak looks like the early favorite for Waiver Wire Pickup of the Year, as I can’t stress enough of how good Jose Soriano has been for the team. The leading Cy Young candidate, Soriano has 149 Points and a 0.24 ERA so far. SP Tyler Glasnow secured them the victory over Palm Beach in Week 4, having 37 Points in 1 Start, going 8 innings with only 1 hit.

The team is still shaky with starts, and for some reason still has 6 bench spots open, but there are playing that are really producing on this team. Not to mention 2025 #1 Overall Pick Kade Anderson has been dominate in the minor with a 0.48 ERA. Metro Brozak can go back-to-back in Week 5 against Thunder Bay to climb up the rankings once again.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Thunder Bay (2-4)

6. Thunder Bay Titz (2-6)

  • Move:⬆️1
  • Week 2 MVP: Kris Bubic (35)
  • Week 3 MVP: Paul Skenes (39)
  • Week 4 MVP: Chase Dollander (44)
  • Week 4 LVP: Reynaldo Lopez (-15)
  • Season MVP: Mason Miller (115)

When I first started these rankings, I had Thunder Bay last until a last-minute switch up after doing some more research. Their performance in Week 4, despite a loss to Nip City, showed what the team is capable of when the stars of the team play well. Skenes has been back to the Cy Young caliber we know and love the last 3 Weeks, and Nick Kurtz had himself a week with 30 Points.

It’s actually insane that through 4 Weeks of play a Relief Pitcher is a leading scorer, but that shows how dominate Mason Miller has actually been. In 13 Games, he’s only 3 hits and 0 runs so far. For some reason Colorado is scared to pitch Chase Dollander in the 1st Inning, but when he’s in relief he’s been lights out.

The struggles are still there for Thunder Bay however, as the team has only 1 H2H win, and got their first Median in Week 4. No hitter or starting pitcher has over 100 Points, and guys like Pete-Crow Armstrong and Marcelo Mayer have really struggled. Might be time to buy if Thunder Bay believes the core is strong enough for a run. It’s a must win week versus Metro Brozak

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Metro Brozak (2-6)

5. Bryce Krispy Treats (4-4)

  • Move:⬇️1
  • Week 2 MVP: Jacob DeGrom (49)
  • Week 3 MVP: Mike Trout (49)
  • Week 4 MVP: Sal Stewart (35)
  • Week 4 LVP: Paul Sewald (-8)/Steven Matz (-8)
  • Season MVP: Sal Stewart (122)

It defintely hasn’t been bad for the Byrce Krispy Treats, but it hasn’t been too great for the team either so far in 2026. Every week they put up good total numbers, but they just haven’t had that dominant week this quality of a team can produce. Their 2-2 in H2H, and 2-2 in the median, so it’s been a very balanced team so far.

The two clear topics and headlines of this team so far; Sal Stewart has been very good, and Garrett Crochet has been very bad. Stewart is on pace to win BKT a comp pick for Rookie of the Year and has been a top 5 hitter with 122 Points so far. Crochet on the other hand, a top 3 pitcher in 2025, has literally himself cost this team a win with two horrific performances. I don’t doubt Crochet will return to prime form, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

I’d be a fool to not talk about how good Mike Trout’s been as well. Theres nothing better for baseball then Trout playing at his best again. The Bryce Krispy Treats are very much in the playoff hunt, and this is right around where they were in 2026 where they ended up winning the whole thing. A win over the Vultures this week will go a long way.

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Metro Brozak (2-4)

4. Better Call Paul (4-4)

  • Move:⬇️1
  • Week 2 MVP: Jordan Walker (30)
  • Week 3 MVP: Bryan Woo (33)
  • Week 4 MVP: Justin Wrobleski (41)
  • Week 4 LVP: Bryan Woo (-17)
  • Season MVP: Landon Roupp (113)

The best way to describe Better Call Pauls season so far: Unusual. It’s just been a very different (not in bad way) BCP team then we’ve seen in the past. The team’s top attribute has always been that they are aggressive scorers & waiver wire merchants. The case is still very true on the waivers (peep Justin Wrobleskis, Jordan Walker, Christian Walker and Landon Roupps Stats), but BCP hasn’t really had that massive scoring week the teams love to have. In Week 4, they were the lowest scoring team (first time in GM Alex’s career) and lost by 170 points to Cole-Blooded.

Chris Sale, Kevin Gausman, and Cristopher Sanchez have been great for the rotation so far, while James Wood is really starting to emerge as a top hitter for the team. 4 of the Top 10 scorers are waiver wire players, including Christian Walker filling a hole at 1B at the right time.

This team still strikes me as a team that could climb all the way to #1 in the standings if the right things happen, but the lineup is the spot that really needs to pick up with some key hitters (Acuna, Bichette, etc) have been struggling. Better Call Paul vs Hennyville in Week 5 should be a great matchup.

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Hennyville (6-2)

3. Hennyville Weenies (6-2)

  • Move:⬇️1
  • Week 2 MVP: Logan Gilbert (40)
  • Week 3 MVP: Jose Ramirez (47)
  • Week 4 MVP: Junior Caminero (28)
  • Week 4 LVP: Andrew Painter (-6)
  • Season MVP: Jose Ramirez (105)

The top 3 teams in the Power Rankings can go really in any order. After a 6-0 start, an 0-2 performance in Week 4 lands the Weenies at spot number 3 in the rankings. Week 3 we THOUGHT was a loss, but a stat correction gave Hennyville a 1-point victory over Cole Blooded in a matchup of the year candidate.

The team as a whole has been great, but the individual performances have been a little lackluster to start the year. Jose Ramirez (105) is the team’s only player over 100 Points to start off the season. However, pitchers Sandy Alcantara, Yoshi (Donald Glover) Yamamoto, and Gavin Williams have contributed to the hot start for Hennyville. Julio has been mid like every April, but Bobby Witt Jr hit his first Home Run yesterday and the team got Juan Soto back at the right time.

The team has Better Call Paul in Week 5, and a double win could put this team at a confident 8-2 record going forward.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Better Call Paul (6-2)

2. Nip City Vultures (7-1)

  • Move: ⬆️3
  • Week 2 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (47)
  • Week 3 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (40)
  • Week 4 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (41)
  • Week 4 LVP: Jack Flaherty (-11)
  • Season MVP: Shohei Ohtani (178)

In 4 Weeks so far, the Vultures have finished Top 3 in scoring every week and have led in in scoring in two of them. The team is currently 1st in the standings and just have been clicking as a whole. Shohei Ohtani has been a Top 2 scorer every week for the team and have led the team the last 3. What’s more impressive is Ohtani has been a better Pitcher then Hitter.

Parker Messick continues to be a nice surprise for the team, and Max Fried has continued where he started after Week 1. Lindor, Chourio, and Will Smith are currently injured, so the team will have to rely on some other bat soon.

Big matchup against the Bryce Krispy Treats in Week 5 to stay only at one loss.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Bryce Krispy Treats (4-4)

1. Cole Blooded (5-3)

  • Move: None
  • Week 2 MVP: Robbie Ray (27)
  • Week 3 MVP: Will Warren (40)
  • Week 4 MVP: Max Muncy (35)
  • Week 4 LVP: Kenley Jansen (-5)
  • Season MVP: Cam Schlittler (123)

Despite a loss to Metro Brozak, and the 3rd best overall record in the league so far, I still have Cole Blooded as the top rank in the Power Rankings through 4 Weeks. So far in two of the matchups they’ve been the leading scorer, including a 170 Point win over a great Better Call Paul team in Week 4. The truth of this team; when they’re clicking, no one is going to beat them. A last-minute scoring change took this team from being at 6-2 to

It’s been weird scoring shuffle of the top players for Cole Blooded, as every week has been a new leader at the top of the board. SP Cam Schlittler has really been the only one whose stayed consistent so far. Drake Baldwin has covered the struggles of MVP runner up Cal Raleigh so far for the catcher position, while Aaron Judge and Yandy Diaz have been right there with Baldwin as the best hitters.

The ceiling is very high for this team, as Gerritt Cole and Anthony Volpe make their returns soon, and Jasson Dominguez is back in the lineup after being called up. Watch out for another high scoring outing this week versus a struggling Palm Beach.

8. Metro Brozak (0-2)

  • Week 1 MVP: Ben Rice (51)
  • Week 1 LVP: Willy Adames (-1)
  • Offseason Additions: SP Jacob Misiorowski, INF Jordan Westburg, DH Giancarlo Stanton, 1B Coby Mayo, C Ethan Salas
  • Offseason Loses: INF Kevin McGonigle, SP Brandon Sproat

Let’s start with some positives for Metro Brozak. The team added some new players for the 2026 season, including SP Jacob Misiorowski, a 24-year-old pitcher coming off an impressive rookie campaign. In addition, despite an opening week loss to Hennyville, the team hung around most of the matchup including Misiorowski having the 3rd most points for them this week. First Basemen Ben Rice, the new starter after trading 1B Freddie Freeman at the deadline last year, led the team in points this week with 51.

The negatives; this team is coming off a HISTORIC bad season with only 1 win, a feature that I don’t think will ever be replicated in this league again. Metro Brozak actually outscored Thunder Bay in Week 1, but after the season last year it’s hard to put this team any higher to start off the year. However, it seems like GM Kozak is dedicating more time to investing into adding rather than selling, and the team definitely has the prospects & draft capital to turn it around.

Week 2 Matchup: Away vs. Cole-Blooded (2-0)

7. Thunder Bay Titz (0-2)

  • Week 1 MVP: Chase Burns (42) & Mason Miller (42)
  • Week 1 LVP: Chris Bassitt (-24)
  • Offseason Additions: OF Owen Cassie, SP Chase Dollander, SP Brandon Sproat
  • Offseason Loses: SP Jacob Misiorowski, OF Andy Pages

There’s no way to sugarcoat this, but everything that could go wrong for Thunder Bay in Week 1, went wrong. The teams 419 Points was the lowest scored to open up the season, losing to Palm Beach by just less the 200 Points. The real issue was the expected performers just had a rough opening week. Ace Paul Skenes started off the year with -16 Points, to finish with 0 total points to contribute on the week, AL Rookie of the year Nick Kurtz only had 5 Points, and OF Pete Crow hit a low .230 to not really contribute. Not to mention another IL Start to the season for SP Spencer Strider who can’t seem to stay healthy.

The Positive however, Chase Burns looks like a real star in this league. Burns gave Thunder Bay 11 Inning Pitched with only 1 Earned, leading the way with 42 Points. I don’t think there’s any debate on Mason Miller being the best Closer in baseball, as his 42 Point outscored a vast majority of all-star caliber players. The real surprise was Tomoyuki Sugano shoving in two starts in his second stint with Thunder Bay. The team moved a lot of players at the 2025 trade deadline, and it might show the direction this team could head in 2026. If the stars can figure it out however, the young core is strong enough to win this team some games.

Week 2 Matchup: Away vs. Hennyville (2-0)

6. Palm Beach Diamond Ducks (2-0)

  • Week 1 MVP: Yordan Alvarez (62)
  • Week 1 LVP: Bryan Bello (-8)
  • Offseason Additions: 1B Pete Alonso, INF Kazuma Okamoto, 1B/OF Ryan O’Hearn, 3B Matt Chapman, INF Kevin McGonigle,
  • Offseason Loses: DH Giancarlo Stanton, 1B Coby Mayo, INF Jordan Westburg, OF Jordan Lawler

Let me be the first to say this ranking is lower than it should be based off how Palm Beaches Opening Week went. After missing the playoffs in 2025, the Diamond Ducks dominated Thunder Bay to start off the year and earned two wins with an impressive 615 Points. By the offseason acquisitions, it was clear GM Pat wanted and needed to add hitters to a lineup that ranked 6th last year. The team made a blockbuster to acquire 1B Pete Alonso, who has started off slow but adds massive power to a team that needed some pop. DH Yordan Alvarez is off to an MVP type season, hitting .400 with 4 HR’s to lead the way with 62 Points.

The reason I still have this team only 6th in the power rankings is simple. On one hand, it’s hard to put them above 4 Playoffs teams from last year when not a ton changed. Additionally, and the main reason I have Palm Beach here, is they have not one, not two, BUT NINE PITCHERS CURRENTLY INJURED. It’s an injury bug the Diamond Ducks have not been able to avoid the past 2 seasons. Ace pitcher Hunter Greene won’t return till late May, Justin Steele is still working off an injury from 2025, Bryce Miller and Spencer Schwellenbach are both starting the year on the IL, and young promising pitcher Jared Jones is expected to miss a good amount of time. And to top it all off, after a week of 42 Points and only 1 earned run in 10 innings pitched, Ace Hunter Brown is now expected to be out for the next 3 Weeks with a shoulder strain. If Palm Beach stays hot and can defeat the reigning champs in week 2 they’ll move up in the rankings, but for now I have to keep them lower.

Week 2 Matchup: Away Vs. Bryce Krispy Treats (0-2)

5. Nip City Vultures (1-1)

  • Week 1 MVP: Max Fried (66)
  • Week 1 LVP: Carlos Estevez (-25)
  • Offseason Additions: OF Andy Pages, 3B Munetaka Murakami
  • Offseason Loses: C Drake Baldwin, OF Ryan O’Hearn, OF Owen Cassie

It was a good & a bad week for the Vultures to start off the year, winning a matchup on the league median but losing yet another Week 1 matchup to Cole-Blooded. Max Fried was able to get 3 starts in the week leading to his 66 Points in the matchup. Shohei Ohtani did what you’d expect, and Bryce Elder surprised the DBA with two impressive starts. The real positives Nip City will take away from this was the performances from the Young OF. After struggling at the position the past couple of seasons, Chase DeLauter has an already impressive 5 Home Runs, Cam Smith is hitting .300, and Andy Pages was the best hitter in baseball to start off the year.

The clear negatives so far have been the relievers, as Griffin Jax & Carlos Estevez combined for -32 Points on the week. Cristian Javier has two horrific starts to get -21 Points, and Top Prospect C Samuel Basallo (acquired in the Austin Riley deal) is yet to pick it up in 2026. Not to mention DH Brent Rooker struck out in 12 of his 24 at Bats. With Ohtani & Skubal it’s hard to put this team low, but they’ll need to figure out their problems sooner then later.

Week 2 Matchup: Away Vs. Better Call Paul (1-1)

4. Bryce Krispy Treats (0-2)

  • Week 1 MVP: Trevor Rogers (40)
  • Week 1 LVP: Justin Verlander (-9)
  • Offseason Additions: None
  • Offseason Loses: None

After winning the DBA Championship in 2025, starting 0-2 was not the plan to begin the champs 2026 season. Outside of two good Trevor Rogers starts, there was just no heavy hitters in Week 1 for the Krispy Treats. Seth Lugo, Garrett Crochet & Kodai Senga all pitched well, but outside of 34-year-old Mike Trout, there was no real offensive production from a team with a top half of the league lineup.

The lineup is not something to worry about despite the slow start, especially with Top Prospect Sal Stewart making his mark with a .351 BA & 2 HRs to start. The OF is still arguably the best in the league, and the RP Duo of Edwin Diaz & Andres Munoz is already off to a hot start. The one major downside was the NL Rookie of the year runner up Cade Horton is now out for the season with a Right UCL injury. The defending champs are still very much a team to fear in 2026, but a win over 2-0 Palm Beach would make that case even stronger.

Week 2 Matchup: Home VS. Palm Beach (2-0)

3. Better Call Paul (1-1)

  • Week 1 MVP: Kevin Gausman (57)
  • Week 1 LVP: Nathan Eovaldi (-10)
  • Offseason Additions: None
  • Offseason Loses: None

In the past 3 season, Better Call Paul has made the playoffs 3/3 times, taken 2nd & 3rd twice, all while having one of the better and consistent rosters in the league. While the team won their head-to-head matchup in a redemption win over the Bryce Krispy Treats after losing to them in the playoffs last year, the 589 points wasn’t enough to get this team to the 2-0 start. 4 Pitchers, including a dominate week from Kevin Gausman, were able to reach 40+ points in the win, while free agent signing Christian Walker was able to hit his way to the 40 Point mark as well. In addition, unlike in 2025, the team has All-Star OF Ronald Acuna Jr. back to start the year, despite a slow hitting start.

The only real negatives were two bad starts from Pitchers Nathan Eovaldi & new Red Sox Ranger Suarez, and SS Mookie Betts back on the IL with an oblique injury. If history repeats itself, any given week this team will dominate in scoring, and they’re in for a good matchup against another 1-1 team in Nip City. Will this be the year Better Call Paul gets over the hump and brings a championship to the desert?

Week 2 Matchup: Home VS. Nip City (1-1)

2. Hennyville Hashbrowns (2-0)

  • Week 1 MVP: Sandy Alcantara (72)
  • Week 1 LVP: Kyle Manzardo (-4)
  • Offseason Additions: SP Tatsuya Imai, RP Devin Williams, OF Jordan Lawler
  • Offseason Loses: 1B Pete Alonso, 3B Matt Chapman, OF Evan Carter, SP Chase Dollander

One of the biggest shocks of the 2025 season was Hennyville missing the playoffs in 2025 with the roster they have. However, after an early scare in the week, the Weenies look to be right back to the game they want to be playing with a 650 Point performance in a win over Metro Brozak. The win was massively contributed to the dominance of Sandy Alcantara, who scored 72 Points, the 5th most in a single week in DBA History, that included a complete game shutout with only 3 hits. After being expected to miss some games to start the year, OF Corbin Carroll was not only able to play opening day but was the team’s leading hitter with 42 Points. In addition, #1 Prospect Konnor Griffin has officially been added to the roster, who will join SS Bobby Witt Jr in the best SS room in the league.

The only downsides so far are a few injuries, that includes All Star OF Juan Soto joining the IL15, and breakout candidate Jordan Lawler who is now on the IL60 and will miss most of the season. Other than that, Hennyville can’t seem to fix the RP2 Spot after a struggling week from Emilo Pagan. On paper, this is the team to beat, but will the problems that emerged in 2025 repeat themselves in 2026, or will this team be the championship level contenders they should be.

Week 2 Matchup: Home VS. Thunder Bay (0-2)

1. Cole-Blooded (2-0)

  • Week 1 MVP: Cam Schlittler (56)
  • Week 1 LVP: Cal Raleigh (0)
  • Offseason Additions: C Drake Baldwin, OF Evan Carter
  • Offseason Loses: RP Devin Williams

After one of the strongest Opening Weeks in DBA History, Cole-Blooded has without a doubt set themselves up to be the team to beat in 2026. With an impressive 697 points in Week 1 win over Nip City, Cole-Blooded is now 2-0 to start the season in back-to-back years. Outside of Cam Schlittlers impressive two starts with 56 Points, no one really dominated, the whole roster just had themselves a solid week, which is even scarier than just one player dominating himself. Cole-Blooded was also the only team who didn’t have a player finish with negative points in Week 1. Christian Yelich and Freddie Freeman led the way for hitters, and Framber Valdez & Clay Holmes each had themselves top pitching performances.

The only real struggle came from AL MVP Runner Up Cal Raleigh, whose .118 BA led him to score 0 Points on the week. Josh Hader beginning the season on the IL is rough start to the bullpen (despite David Bednar’s impressive week). The team is also patiently waiting for the return of ace Gerritt Cole, whose live batting practice starts is a strong belief the pitcher could be back sooner than later. If Week 1 is any indication of how the season will go, look out for Cole-Blooded as we get deeper into the season.

Week 2 Matchup: Home VS. Metro Brozak (0-2)

#10 Silly Billy’s (1-5)

  • Current W/L Record: L5
  • Week 6 MVP: Luka Doncic (158)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers:  Luka Doncic (158), DeMar Derozan (105), Brandon Ingram (101)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Luka Doncic (714)

After the team’s first victory in Week 1 under the new regime, nothing has gone right for the three-headed Silly Billys. The 5 Straight Losses are due to the obvious lack of waiver additions & pile of injuries the Billy’s have been collecting all year, and unless some serious moves are made it looks to be only getting worse from here.

The Positives: TJ McConnell addition alone almost put them in contention this week, and despite the random minutes with the Pacers, TJ looks to be a solid add for the time being. Luka is doing Luka things, Anthony Davis has returned from a 2-Week Calf Strain, despite still on the Billys IR, and Jaime Jaquez continues his waiver wire add of the year push. Mathurin looks like it’s going to be Cam Thomas-ish role of scoring anywhere between 5-40 points a night.

The Negatives: It amazes me that this team is still rostering Cole Anthony (Avering 9.5 the last week) & DeAngelo Russell who put up a whopping -2 for them this week. Trae Young has to wait another two weeks to get re-evaluated, which could push his return past December

The Billy’s play the 5-1 Master Baiters in Week 7, in a game in which would earn them Upset of the Year in a victory.

#9 Boston Big Doinks (0-6)

  • Current W/L Record: L6
  • Week 6 MVP: Pascal Siakam (125)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers: Pascal Siakam (125)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Giannis Antetokounmpo (729)

Despite not winning a game so far, the Doinks come in 9th in the PRs over the Billy’s for the simple fact that they are least trying to win games this year. This was the worst loss for the Doinks so far, in a 400+ Point loss to Cuba. Luck hasn’t been on the Doinks side either, as aside from Week 1, every team they have faced has dropped 1200+ points in the victory, leading Boston to be 2nd in Points Allowed through 6 Weeks.

The Positives: The Zach Edey 14th Round stash looks to be a great one, averaging 29 PPG, including a 60 Point performance since his return 2-Weeks ago. Reed Sheppard looks to have found a permanent home with 25 PPG the past week for the Doinks. Giannis returned after a 4 Game absence with 2 40+ performances, and Devin Vassell looks to be the underrated additions in the massive Siakam-Herro Trade.

The Negatives: Matas Buzelis hasn’t lived up to expectations and is close to droppable range despite his 28 Minutes per Game. Cam Thomas won’t see the lineup for at least another 2 Weeks, Edgecombe has yet to return to Week 1 status.

The Doinks roster is 2nd to last in scoring, while consistently putting up too many high/low performances and can’t seem to put on one big week. They play two at the moment playoff teams in Nip City & the Master Baiters, before finishing out the 9 Game Stretch vs a very winnable Silly Billys.

#8 Miller Killers (1-5)

  • Current W/L Record: L4
  • Week 6 MVP: Keegan Murray (135)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers: Keegan Murray (135), Nikola Jokic (128)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Nikola Jokic (1033)

Despite a solid week on a very short BBA week, the Millers Killers couldn’t get the job done verses a red-hot Zyndiana in Week 6. The team’s sole victory is against a winless Big Doinks, although the team has had close lose margins against playoffs teams KnicksTape & OKC. Currently 6th in scoring, led by 4x MVP Nikola Jokic, the team currently sits in 8th place in the standing & 8th place in the rankings.

The Positives: Even with the loss, this week was a bright spot for the Killers, as this was an IR clearing week in getting some of the team’s big names back. Keegan Murray led the way this week after spending the first 5 Games on the shelf, Porter Jr. is back for Week 7 after missing 4 games, and franchise keeper Jalen Williams finally made his season debut.

The Negatives: Joel Embiid only played 3 TOTAL GAMES in the month of November but looks to be back for now. Kuminga’s minutes seems to continue to decrease, and Claxton struggled in Week 6.

No team with Jokic is technically ever out of contention, but the Killers need to go on a run sooner then later.

#7 Zyndiana Zest Fest (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: W3
  • Week 6 MVP: Cade Cunnigham (173)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Cade Cunnigham (173), Josh Hart (147), Josh Giddey (103)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Cade Cunningham (663)

The last three-week span for Zyndiana could not have gone any better. After 3 consecutive losses, the team entered their easiest stretch of the season against the three teams with a combined win total of 2 and beat all three comfortably.

The Positives: Josh Hart finally lived up to the 4th round capital Zyndiana spent on him, avering 37 PPG the past 7 days. Lauri Markkanen is the team’s 2nd leading scorer, and Dyson Daniels continues to be dominate with the absence of Trae Young. Dylan Harper also returned after missing 10 Games for the team.

The Negatives: The injury bug can’t seem to stay away from Darius Garland, as he’s been questionable & had multiple “rest’ games. Andre Drummond is droppable, espically with Zest Fest’s lack of players to drop for waiver wire adds.

The next 6 Weeks are the real test for Zyndiana to prove if their a contender or pretender this year, as they play the 6 “playoff” teams above them, with 25 wins total amongst themselves.

#6 Nip City Night Owls (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: W2
  • Week 6 MVP: Jalen Johnson (113)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Jalen Johnson (113), Evan Mobley (112). Julius Randle (103)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Jalen Johnson (735)

After a massive win against an undefeated Master Baiters in Week 5, the Night Owls had a scary close win over the struggling Silly Billy’s to put the team at .500 on the season.

The Positives: The team continues to be put on the back of Jalen Johnson, leading the team in scoring once again. Santi Aldama is making a case for waiver add of the year, averaging 25 PPG since joining Nip City. Brandon Miller & Grayson Allen officially returned this week as well.

The Negatives: Jakob Poeltl can’t seem to stay on the court consistently, Kon Knuppel has regressed a little with the return of Ball & Miller, and Myles Turner has yet to get over that 20 PPG hump, even with Giannis not playing.

The Night Owls have their easiest stretch of the season with games against the Billy’s, Big Doinks and Miller Killers these upcoming weeks, before taking on a top contender in the Lickers.

#5 OK(C) More Boobies (4-2)

  • Current W/L Record: L1
  • Week 6 MVP: Anthony Edwards (180)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Anthony Edwards (180), Mikal Bridges (109), De’Aaron Fox (102)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Miles Bridges (579)

OKC is a very two-sided coin so far in the BBA. On one side, this team is winning and finding ways to compete without Wemby in their lineup no matter what team they face. On the other side, this team is NOT a high scoring team, even in their wins. The team was very close to their biggest win of the season verses the Lickers in Week 6 but didn’t have enough juice Sunday to pull it together. The different a year of experience in the BBA is doing wonders for OKC, as the team is 4-2 going into Week 7.

The Positives: It’s been Keeper central in OKC, as Miles Bridges & Anthony Edwards (Week 6 Leader in Scoring) lead the team in scoring both putting up 30 + PPG Weekly, while the teams other 30+ Point scorer De’Aaron Fox looks to have been the right stash on draft night with his current numbers. Mikal Bridges might be the most consistent player in the BBA, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker is making the league look silly for falling to Round 14.

The Negatives: The only real thing holding this team back right now is the injuries to the star players Wemby & Ja Morant, who are both out for multiple weeks.

OKC plays three 3-3 teams, and two 5-1 teams in the next 5 Weeks, so its a uphill battle for the team, but if they knock of KnicksTape in Week 7, they really high chance this team is ranked amongst the Top 3 in the PRs.

#4 KnicksTape (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: L2
  • Week 6 MVP: Karl Anthony Towns (134) & Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (134)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Karl Anthony Towns (134), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (134), Jalen Brunson (133), Jaren Jackson Jr. (106)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (945)

A tough two week stretch for KnicksTape, as this week’s loss to the Master Baiters was the first time all season the team did not score over 1000 Points. Not only that, but this was also the first time in 4 Weeks since Opening Day that the team did not put up 1300+ in a week, a feature no one else has done. Four players were able to crack 100+ despite this being realistically a 5 Day Matchup with the day off & a barely any Tuesday games, but no one past that was able to surpass 70 Points.

The Positives: The Heavy-Hitters on KnicksTape came to play, as Shai, KAT, & Brunson all had 130+ weeks. Ajay Mitchell had himself a 20 PPG November, and Norman Powell’s minutes are still there with the return of Tyler Herro.

The Negatives: Injuries are happening at the worst time. Steph Curry seems to be out for 1-2 Weeks with a quad injury, RJ Barrett will miss at least a week, and Kristap Porzingis can’t seem to play more then 3 games in a row. Daniel Gafford, also injured at the moment, will take a hit with the return of Anthony Davis as well.

I don’t believe KnicksTape needs to be worried with these last two losses, their still the #1 Scoring BBA team, and as long as the outstanding injuries don’t linger, the 1300+ scoring team we know and love should return to form soon.

#3 Cuban National Team (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W2
  • Week 6 MVP: Austin Reaves (152)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Austin Reaves (152), Deni Avdija (123), Kawhi Leonard (110), Tyrese Maxey (109)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Tyrese Maxey (793)

Tied for first place at 5-1, the top 3 teams in the league have currently separated themselves from the pack. Finding a difference between Cuba & the Lickers so far this season is impossible. Both teams have 7600+ in scoring, both have wins over KnicksTape, Big Doinks & Silly Billys, and with each their only loss being to the 5-1 Master Baiters. The only real difference is Cuba has a win verses Nip City, and Lickers have a win verses OKC. So count the #2 & #3 rankings pretty much as a tie. However, this was by far Cuba’s easiest & most dominating win of the season, beating the Doinks by over 400.

The Positives: One outlying factor is Cuba has yet to score less then 1000, and in 5 of their 6 weeks the team has put up over 1200+ points in a matchup. Tyrese Maxey continues to rescale his fantasy value into the elite tier, and Austin Reaves has averaged OVER 50 PPG the past week. Kawhi Leonard returned this week from a long absence with a 33 PPG performance, and Payton Pritchard dropped 54 after a couple low games.

The Negatives: Without a timetable might be the three worst words in fantasy basketball, and that seems to be the case for OG Anunoby for the time being. Kyshawn George has taken a hit from his first couple week heroics, and despite his return Coby White hasn’t shaken off the injury bug quite yet.

There’s a high chance that Cuba & the Lickers both win in Week 7, and the battle of the two 6-1 teams in Week 8 is already shaping up to be a game of the year candidate.

#2 Ass Lickers (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W5
  • Week 6 MVP: Scottie Barnes (144)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Scottie Barnes (144), Jaylen Brown (120)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Jaylen Brown (704)

As previously stated in the Cuba rankings above (read first paragraph), the distinction between Cuba & this team is very slim. The Lickers being 5-1 is just routine at this point, and a big win over 4-2 OKC make them even stronger. With over 7600+ points scored, the Lickers are averaging 1270 Points per matchup and have dropped 1200+ in 4 out of their 5 wins.

The Positives: For the first time all year, 1st Round Pick Lebron James is “healthy” at the moment. Keyonte George averaging 28 PPG as a 11th Round pick is just absurd, and Ryan Rollins had himself a 25 PPG run in the month of November as a waiver wire pickup. CJ McCollum seems to find himself with a 50 Point game once every week, and despite the early criticism, Jaylen Brown is leading the team in scoring through 6 weeks. I’m sure Manager Bobby is smiling too knowing Jalen Duren is having an even better season than last year.

The Negatives: The loss of 28 PPG Starter Isaiah Hartenstein isn’t ideal, as he’ll miss up to 2 Weeks. Paolo Banchero is set to miss his 9th Straight game with no clear date in return, and the inconsistency of 5th round pick Zach Lavine is frustrating.

Zyndiana won’t be no easy matchup for the Lickers in Week 7 coming off a 3-game win streak, but if the team can move to 6-1, the macthup with Cuba should be one of the best this season.

#1 Master Baiters (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W1
  • Week 6 MVP: Jamal Murray (116)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers:  Jamal Murray (116), Tyler Herro (108), Jimmy Butler (105), James Harden (102)
  • Season Leading Scorer: James Harden (695)

The Baiters are one of three 5-1 teams in the league, and the major factor between them and the other two, the Master Baiters have beat them both. The Baiters have set themselves up real nicely, they defeated 5 out of the 6 current playoffs teams, with their only loss being by 32 points, and having 7100+ points so far on the year. In addition, they have their easiest stretch of the season coming up, facing the three lowest teams with only 2 wins combined out of the 3 of them.

The Positives: Aside from the win over KnicksTape, the real victory was the return of Tyler Herro in Week 6. Desmond Bane has been efficient enough to where the loss of Siakam hasn’t hurt the team until Herro’s return, and now only 3 games in he’s already averaging 36 PPG. Kel’el Ware had himself a unreal month of November after a slow start to the season, averaging 31 in the 15 Days & 28 over the last month. Tobias Harris’s return has been a nice addition, and Cooper Flagg has been figuring it out when you need him to.

The Negatives: From what should have been a sure-fire pickup, Luke Kornet has been a letdown in a high opportunity situation without Wemby. The Sabonis injury looks to keep him out until almost Christmas, and Kelly Oubre is most likely out for 2-3 Weeks.

If the Baiters can stay right where they are at in this next 3 game stretch, were looking at a 8-1 team going into the 2nd half of the season.

#10 Silly Billy’s (1-5)

  • Current W/L Record: L5
  • Week 6 MVP: Luka Doncic (158)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers:  Luka Doncic (158), DeMar Derozan (105), Brandon Ingram (101)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Luka Doncic (714)

After the team’s first victory in Week 1 under the new regime, nothing has gone right for the three-headed Silly Billys. The 5 Straight Losses are due to the obvious lack of waiver additions & pile of injuries the Billy’s have been collecting all year, and unless some serious moves are made it looks to be only getting worse from here.

The Positives: TJ McConnell addition alone almost put them in contention this week, and despite the random minutes with the Pacers, TJ looks to be a solid add for the time being. Luka is doing Luka things, Anthony Davis has returned from a 2-Week Calf Strain, despite still on the Billys IR, and Jaime Jaquez continues his waiver wire add of the year push. Mathurin looks like it’s going to be Cam Thomas-ish role of scoring anywhere between 5-40 points a night.

The Negatives: It amazes me that this team is still rostering Cole Anthony (Avering 9.5 the last week) & DeAngelo Russell who put up a whopping -2 for them this week. Trae Young has to wait another two weeks to get re-evaluated, which could push his return past December

The Billy’s play the 5-1 Master Baiters in Week 7, in a game in which would earn them Upset of the Year in a victory.

#9 Boston Big Doinks (0-6)

  • Current W/L Record: L6
  • Week 6 MVP: Pascal Siakam (125)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers: Pascal Siakam (125)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Giannis Antetokounmpo (729)

Despite not winning a game so far, the Doinks come in 9th in the PRs over the Billy’s for the simple fact that they are least trying to win games this year. This was the worst loss for the Doinks so far, in a 400+ Point loss to Cuba. Luck hasn’t been on the Doinks side either, as aside from Week 1, every team they have faced has dropped 1200+ points in the victory, leading Boston to be 2nd in Points Allowed through 6 Weeks.

The Positives: The Zach Edey 14th Round stash looks to be a great one, averaging 29 PPG, including a 60 Point performance since his return 2-Weeks ago. Reed Sheppard looks to have found a permanent home with 25 PPG the past week for the Doinks. Giannis returned after a 4 Game absence with 2 40+ performances, and Devin Vassell looks to be the underrated additions in the massive Siakam-Herro Trade.

The Negatives: Matas Buzelis hasn’t lived up to expectations and is close to droppable range despite his 28 Minutes per Game. Cam Thomas won’t see the lineup for at least another 2 Weeks, Edgecombe has yet to return to Week 1 status.

The Doinks roster is 2nd to last in scoring, while consistently putting up too many high/low performances and can’t seem to put on one big week. They play two at the moment playoff teams in Nip City & the Master Baiters, before finishing out the 9 Game Stretch vs a very winnable Silly Billys.

#8 Miller Killers (1-5)

  • Current W/L Record: L4
  • Week 6 MVP: Keegan Murray (135)
  • Week 6 100+ Point Scorers: Keegan Murray (135), Nikola Jokic (128)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Nikola Jokic (1033)

Despite a solid week on a very short BBA week, the Millers Killers couldn’t get the job done verses a red-hot Zyndiana in Week 6. The team’s sole victory is against a winless Big Doinks, although the team has had close lose margins against playoffs teams KnicksTape & OKC. Currently 6th in scoring, led by 4x MVP Nikola Jokic, the team currently sits in 8th place in the standing & 8th place in the rankings.

The Positives: Even with the loss, this week was a bright spot for the Killers, as this was an IR clearing week in getting some of the team’s big names back. Keegan Murray led the way this week after spending the first 5 Games on the shelf, Porter Jr. is back for Week 7 after missing 4 games, and franchise keeper Jalen Williams finally made his season debut.

The Negatives: Joel Embiid only played 3 TOTAL GAMES in the month of November but looks to be back for now. Kuminga’s minutes seems to continue to decrease, and Claxton struggled in Week 6.

No team with Jokic is technically ever out of contention, but the Killers need to go on a run sooner then later.

#7 Zyndiana Zest Fest (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: W3
  • Week 6 MVP: Cade Cunnigham (173)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Cade Cunnigham (173), Josh Hart (147), Josh Giddey (103)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Cade Cunningham (663)

The last three-week span for Zyndiana could not have gone any better. After 3 consecutive losses, the team entered their easiest stretch of the season against the three teams with a combined win total of 2 and beat all three comfortably.

The Positives: Josh Hart finally lived up to the 4th round capital Zyndiana spent on him, avering 37 PPG the past 7 days. Lauri Markkanen is the team’s 2nd leading scorer, and Dyson Daniels continues to be dominate with the absence of Trae Young. Dylan Harper also returned after missing 10 Games for the team.

The Negatives: The injury bug can’t seem to stay away from Darius Garland, as he’s been questionable & had multiple “rest’ games. Andre Drummond is droppable, espically with Zest Fest’s lack of players to drop for waiver wire adds.

The next 6 Weeks are the real test for Zyndiana to prove if their a contender or pretender this year, as they play the 6 “playoff” teams above them, with 25 wins total amongst themselves.

#6 Nip City Night Owls (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: W2
  • Week 6 MVP: Jalen Johnson (113)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Jalen Johnson (113), Evan Mobley (112). Julius Randle (103)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Jalen Johnson (735)

After a massive win against an undefeated Master Baiters in Week 5, the Night Owls had a scary close win over the struggling Silly Billy’s to put the team at .500 on the season.

The Positives: The team continues to be put on the back of Jalen Johnson, leading the team in scoring once again. Santi Aldama is making a case for waiver add of the year, averaging 25 PPG since joining Nip City. Brandon Miller & Grayson Allen officially returned this week as well.

The Negatives: Jakob Poeltl can’t seem to stay on the court consistently, Kon Knuppel has regressed a little with the return of Ball & Miller, and Myles Turner has yet to get over that 20 PPG hump, even with Giannis not playing.

The Night Owls have their easiest stretch of the season with games against the Billy’s, Big Doinks and Miller Killers these upcoming weeks, before taking on a top contender in the Lickers.

#5 OK(C) More Boobies (4-2)

  • Current W/L Record: L1
  • Week 6 MVP: Anthony Edwards (180)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Anthony Edwards (180), Mikal Bridges (109), De’Aaron Fox (102)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Miles Bridges (579)

OKC is a very two-sided coin so far in the BBA. On one side, this team is winning and finding ways to compete without Wemby in their lineup no matter what team they face. On the other side, this team is NOT a high scoring team, even in their wins. The team was very close to their biggest win of the season verses the Lickers in Week 6 but didn’t have enough juice Sunday to pull it together. The different a year of experience in the BBA is doing wonders for OKC, as the team is 4-2 going into Week 7.

The Positives: It’s been Keeper central in OKC, as Miles Bridges & Anthony Edwards (Week 6 Leader in Scoring) lead the team in scoring both putting up 30 + PPG Weekly, while the teams other 30+ Point scorer De’Aaron Fox looks to have been the right stash on draft night with his current numbers. Mikal Bridges might be the most consistent player in the BBA, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker is making the league look silly for falling to Round 14.

The Negatives: The only real thing holding this team back right now is the injuries to the star players Wemby & Ja Morant, who are both out for multiple weeks.

OKC plays three 3-3 teams, and two 5-1 teams in the next 5 Weeks, so its a uphill battle for the team, but if they knock of KnicksTape in Week 7, they really high chance this team is ranked amongst the Top 3 in the PRs.

#4 KnicksTape (3-3)

  • Current W/L Record: L2
  • Week 6 MVP: Karl Anthony Towns (134) & Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (134)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Karl Anthony Towns (134), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (134), Jalen Brunson (133), Jaren Jackson Jr. (106)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (945)

A tough two week stretch for KnicksTape, as this week’s loss to the Master Baiters was the first time all season the team did not score over 1000 Points. Not only that, but this was also the first time in 4 Weeks since Opening Day that the team did not put up 1300+ in a week, a feature no one else has done. Four players were able to crack 100+ despite this being realistically a 5 Day Matchup with the day off & a barely any Tuesday games, but no one past that was able to surpass 70 Points.

The Positives: The Heavy-Hitters on KnicksTape came to play, as Shai, KAT, & Brunson all had 130+ weeks. Ajay Mitchell had himself a 20 PPG November, and Norman Powell’s minutes are still there with the return of Tyler Herro.

The Negatives: Injuries are happening at the worst time. Steph Curry seems to be out for 1-2 Weeks with a quad injury, RJ Barrett will miss at least a week, and Kristap Porzingis can’t seem to play more then 3 games in a row. Daniel Gafford, also injured at the moment, will take a hit with the return of Anthony Davis as well.

I don’t believe KnicksTape needs to be worried with these last two losses, their still the #1 Scoring BBA team, and as long as the outstanding injuries don’t linger, the 1300+ scoring team we know and love should return to form soon.

#3 Cuban National Team (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W2
  • Week 6 MVP: Austin Reaves (152)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Austin Reaves (152), Deni Avdija (123), Kawhi Leonard (110), Tyrese Maxey (109)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Tyrese Maxey (793)

Tied for first place at 5-1, the top 3 teams in the league have currently separated themselves from the pack. Finding a difference between Cuba & the Lickers so far this season is impossible. Both teams have 7600+ in scoring, both have wins over KnicksTape, Big Doinks & Silly Billys, and with each their only loss being to the 5-1 Master Baiters. The only real difference is Cuba has a win verses Nip City, and Lickers have a win verses OKC. So count the #2 & #3 rankings pretty much as a tie. However, this was by far Cuba’s easiest & most dominating win of the season, beating the Doinks by over 400.

The Positives: One outlying factor is Cuba has yet to score less then 1000, and in 5 of their 6 weeks the team has put up over 1200+ points in a matchup. Tyrese Maxey continues to rescale his fantasy value into the elite tier, and Austin Reaves has averaged OVER 50 PPG the past week. Kawhi Leonard returned this week from a long absence with a 33 PPG performance, and Payton Pritchard dropped 54 after a couple low games.

The Negatives: Without a timetable might be the three worst words in fantasy basketball, and that seems to be the case for OG Anunoby for the time being. Kyshawn George has taken a hit from his first couple week heroics, and despite his return Coby White hasn’t shaken off the injury bug quite yet.

There’s a high chance that Cuba & the Lickers both win in Week 7, and the battle of the two 6-1 teams in Week 8 is already shaping up to be a game of the year candidate.

#2 Ass Lickers (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W5
  • Week 6 MVP: Scottie Barnes (144)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers: Scottie Barnes (144), Jaylen Brown (120)
  • Season Leading Scorer: Jaylen Brown (704)

As previously stated in the Cuba rankings above (read first paragraph), the distinction between Cuba & this team is very slim. The Lickers being 5-1 is just routine at this point, and a big win over 4-2 OKC make them even stronger. With over 7600+ points scored, the Lickers are averaging 1270 Points per matchup and have dropped 1200+ in 4 out of their 5 wins.

The Positives: For the first time all year, 1sr Round Pick Lebron James is “healthy” at the moment. Keyonte George averaging 28 PPG as a 11th Round pick is just absurd, and Ryan Rollins had himself a 25 PPG run in the month of November as a waiver wire pickup. CJ McCollum seems to find himself with a 50 Point game once every week, and despite the early criticism, Jaylen Brown is leading the team in scoring through 6 weeks. I’m sure Manager Bobby is smiling too knowing Jalen Duren is having an even better season than last year.

The Negatives: The loss of 28 PPG Starter Isaiah Hartenstein isn’t ideal, as he’ll miss up to 2 Weeks. Paolo Banchero is set to miss his 9th Straight game with no clear date in return, and the inconsistency of 5th round pick Zach Lavine is frustrating.

Zyndiana won’t be no easy matchup for the Lickers in Week 7 coming off a 3-game win streak, but if the team can move to 6-1, the macthup with Cuba should be one of the best this season.

#1 Master Baiters (5-1)

  • Current W/L Record: W1
  • Week 6 MVP: Jamal Murray (116)
  • Week 6 100+ Scorers:  Jamal Murray (116), Tyler Herro (108), Jimmy Butler (105), James Harden (102)
  • Season Leading Scorer: James Harden (695)

The Baiters are one of three 5-1 teams in the league, and the major factor between them and the other two, the Master Baiters have beat them both. The Baiters have set themselves up real nicely, they defeated 5 out of the 6 current playoffs teams, with their only loss being by 32 points, and having 7100+ points so far on the year. In addition, they have their easiest stretch of the season coming up, facing the three lowest teams with only 2 wins combined out of the 3 of them.

The Positives: Aside from the win over KnicksTape, the real victory was the return of Tyler Herro in Week 6. Desmond Bane has been efficient enough to where the loss of Siakam hasn’t hurt the team until Herro’s return, and now only 3 games in he’s already averaging 36 PPG. Kel’el Ware had himself a unreal month of November after a slow start to the season, averaging 31 in the 15 Days & 28 over the last month. Tobias Harris’s return has been a nice addition, and Cooper Flagg has been figuring it out when you need him to.

The Negatives: From what should have been a sure-fire pickup, Luke Kornet has been a letdown in a high opportunity situation without Wemby. The Sabonis injury looks to keep him out until almost Christmas, and Kelly Oubre is most likely out for 2-3 Weeks.

If the Baiters can stay right where they are at in this next 3 game stretch, were looking at a 8-1 team going into the 2nd half of the season.

2022 FBA Mock Draft 1.0

Ian RappaBridgeport

1. Hennyville Hashbrowns (Via BBB)

Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas (1.01)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Ravens, Eagles, Bills

Hennyville comes in selecting at the 1st & 4th spot in the first round, after acquiring the #1 Overall pick from the Bodacious Booty Boys following the 2023 rules meeting, trading away RB Saquon Barkley, QB Kenny Pickett & the 10th Overall Selection (Via Nip City). Hennyville is expected to add to his young core of RB’s, with Bijan Robinson expected to be the first overall selection. Although it is uncertain where hill will end up, Robinson has been the expected consensus top pick since last season, and it would be a shocker if he is not a Hashbrown come June.

2. Thunder Bay Tits

“Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State (1.02)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Jets, Texans, Packers

It’s clear Thunder Bay’s plan is to address the WR position with the 2nd overall selection in the 2023 draft, however which WR that might be is the question. I believe Thunder Bay will take the first WR who come off the board in the April NFL draft, and whether that’s Quentin Johnson, Jordan Addison or Smith-Njigba is yet to be determined. Right now currently I believe that to be Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as the talent the NFL has seen from the WRs selected out of Ohio State leads me to believe he will be the first off the board. It unclear who will go in this spot, but expect the Thunder Bay office to do their research on the WR’s in this class.

3. Klub Ice (Via TMBE)

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama (1.03)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Panthers, Eagles, Ravens

Klub Ice traded from their collection of WR’s to move up in the draft from picks 8 to 3, while adding a first in 2024 as well. It’s expected of Klub Ice to go for the after a Running Back, and with Bijan Robinson off the board, the only other safe bet at the position as of right now is Jahmyr Gibbs from Alabama. Its uncertain where he’ll go in the draft, but is currently expected to from the end of the first to early second round. Gibbs will add depth to a position that is needed in Klub Ice, adding to a roster that consists of Aaron Jones, James Conner & Tyler Allgeier.

4. Hennyville Hashbrowns (Via Jamaican Mafia)

Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU (1.04)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Texans, Bears, Jets

After selecting Bijan Robinson with the 1st pick, Hennyville doesn’t have any standout needs to fix that the 4th pick will solve. I could see them selecting the #1 QB on their big board to backup Patrick Mahomes, or selecting a TE here to backup TE Travis Kelce. However, if I know the Hashbrowns well enough, I assume they’ll take the best player available at the pick, and I assume that to be WR Quentin Johnston from TCU. Johnston would not play right away for Hennyville, as young WRs Lamb, G.Wilson and Olave all would rank higher on the teams depth chart, but Johnston would be a nice WR to hold for the future.

5. J Crew (Via Bringin Da Pain)

Jordan Addison, WR, USC (1.05)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Giants, Texans, Packers

The most recent addition to the FBA, the J Crew, start their first official draft at the 5th selection, a pick they acquired in a blockbuster deal for WR Justin Jefferson. Come draft night in June, I believe this pick might belong to someone else, with the J Crew’s rebuild of the team looking to acquire as much draft capital as possible. However, if the selection does come down to the J Crew, the rebuild leaves a hole at every single position, so the team will most likely be looking to add the best overall available despite the position. I have Jordan Addison as my WR2 in the class, but he goes he at WR3 of the rookie class. The J Crews leading WR is Courtland Sutton, so Addison has a good chance of being the teams WR1 for the upcoming season.

6. Jamaican Mafia (Via Hennyville Hashbrown)

Bryce Young, QB, Alabama (1.06)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Texans, Colts, Panthers

The Jamaican Mafia makes their first selection of the FBA draft at the 6th spot, after acquiring the 2023 first rounder from Hennyville in the Barkley/Kelce deal last year. The direction Jamaican Mafia will go with this pick is a question we won’t know till draft night. Their armed with young talent at the WR position, while their RBs could use a upgrade from Cam Akers & Javonte Williams. However, I don’t believe there’ll be a strong enough RB to select at pick 6 following Robinson & Gibbs. TE Michael Mayer has been rumored at this spot, while the Mafias current TE Dalton Schultz looking to test free agency, but I believe the QB position is the larger need for the team. I have Jamaican Mafia selecting QB Bryce Young, with the team moving on from Dak and Trey Lance’s status questionable next season, the Mafia need their franchise guy.

7. Bodacious Booty Boys (Via Cultured Gents)

Michael Mayer, TE, Norte Dame (1.07)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Chargers, Patriots, Bengals

After trading the first overall pick to Hennyville, the Booty Boys enter the draft with the 7th pick following a deal with the Cultured Gents, where they sent WR Juju Smith-Schuester & a 2024 3rd for it. If all goes as planned for the team, having TE Michael Mayer fall to the 7th spot would be a dream come true. The Booty Boys have a massive need at TE, with the current options Juwan Johnson & free agent Mike Gesicki. Michael Mayer will start day one for the team in this situation, and in a league where TEs are limited, Mayer can be a big help.

8. Thunder Bay Tits (Via Klub Ice)

Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU (1.08)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Chiefs, Giants, Cardinals

Thunder Bay hops back in the draft, this time selecting at the 8th spot. There’s a very good chance the Tits double up on WR in this draft, and at this pick Kayshon Boutte out of LSU seems to be the guy. Right now his draft stock is from the end of the first to the beginning of the 2nd, with the consensus of him & WR Jaylin Hyatt as the best WR after the top 3. Thunder Bay now adds Smith-Njiba & Boutte to the young squad, with the teams next selection at pick 12.

9. J Crew

Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss (1.09)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Bears, Eagles, Saints

The J Crew can really select any position here, but with them going WR at 5, it makes sense to grab the next best RB on the board. Its unclear who is the current RB3 in this draft, but right now I believe its Evans. The Ole Miss running back was the No. 2 recruit in high school at his position behind Robinson in 2020. However, unlike Robinson, Evans didn’t have much of a role in the passing game, totaling 30 receptions in 27 career games. After starting his career at TCU, Evans transferred to Ole Miss before the 2022 season and had a career year. If the Ole Miss back shows natural hands during the pre-draft process, Evans could become a 2nd-round pick.

10. J Crew (Via Nip City)

C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State (1.10)

  • Potential NFL Landing Spots: Texans, Colts, Raiders

With the J Crew looking to rebuild a new team, there’s no better way then to draft your franchise QB. With Kyler expected to miss a period of time to start the 2023 season, the J Crew could look to start a rookie instead of QB Kirk Cousins next year. Stroud is almost guaranteed to go Top 10 in the draft come April, and he sees himself land with the J Crew to start his FBA career.
