| Who's clawing their way up the rankings? |
Hello everyone! Welcome to the third week of our 2018 Power Rankings. Feel free to skip to the rankings but in case you don't know by now, here's how the scoring works...
Each team was ranked in six categories for the week:
-Total fantasy points scored.
-Fantasy points averaged per game by starters.
-Total amount of points produced by the bench.
-Games missed due to inactivity (doubled for starters).
-Fantasy points per game gained or lost through transactions (using last 30 averages)
-The standings.
Then, each team was given points depending on where they were in the rankings. The better a team performed in the rankings, the less points I gave them.
I doubled the scores in the weekly total and per game average as a final touch because this game is ultimately about scoring fantasy points.
From there, I totaled each team's score across the six categories and used those final scores to sort my power rankings. 52 points would be average with the lower scores being above average.
I also added everyone's running season average (and ranking) beneath their week's score this week. Just another way to consider how things are shaking out.
Here are my results:
12. TimAin't Duncan - Nick (0-3)
Week Total: 712 points (12th)
Per Game: 19.2 ppg (12th)
Bench Scoring: 237 points (8th)
Missed Games: 10 games (5th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (11th)
Week 3 Total: 75
Season Average: 63.3 (11th)
Season Average: 63.3 (11th)
Holding the same spot as last week after a big loss to Alex, Nick's squad put out their second lame week in a row after a promising opening to the season. The surest way for a team to land in this spot is by coming in last in both the weekly total and per game average from the starters. Nick's bench put up some solid numbers but this starting lineup is simply not getting it done.
11. MAMA said Knock u out - Rich (0-3)
Week Total: 754 points (11th)
Per Game: 19.8 ppg (11th)
Bench Scoring: 98 points (11th)
Missed Games: 3 games (12th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (11th)
Week 3 Total: 72
Season Average: 72.7 (12th)
Coming in eleventh for the second week in a row after losing a big one to Matt, this was a bad week from Rich's team. Besides the almost meaningless results of this week's transaction standings, MAMA said Knock u out bottomed out in every other category. Points were not produced on any part of this roster and there were very few missed games to explain that. Things may need to change here.

10. Love Kaman My Bibby's - Danny (1-2)
Week Total: 863 points (10th)
Per Game: 23.3 ppg (10th)
Bench Scoring: 81 points (12th)
Missed Games: 14 games (2nd)
Transactions: +15.5 ppg (1st)
Standings: (6th)
Week 3 Total: 61
Season Average: 56 (9th)
Falling six spots this week after a painful loss to Brett, Danny is our drop of the week. After a week where I remarked on Danny's sudden 5 ppg jump, his team falls 5 pgg back down this week to look like they did in week one. The bench has been bad all season so Danny may find himself depending heavily on what seems to an inconsistent starting lineup.
9. Foxy Ladies - Brett (1-2)
Week Total: 914 points (8th)
Per Game: 24.1 ppg (8th)
Bench Scoring: 234 points (9th)
Missed Games: 4 games (10th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (6th)
Week 3 Total: 60
Season Average: 62.3 (10th)
Rising one spot from last week after a quality win over Danny, Brett's team seems to be in an interesting position. While the Wall trade indicated tanking intentions, Brett's team still may be good enough to sneak into the playoffs. That or Brett may still have some value trades on the horizon as he slims his team down into the lottery. Either way, this team is in the mix.

Week 3 Total: 59
Season Average: 53 (7th)
Season Average: 53 (7th)
Slipping a spot this week after a close loss to Tyler, Nate's starting lineup had a down week against a good opponent. The bench looks good which is promising but hopefully the starting lineup can be better than this going forward. It is hard to know what the right direction for this team long-term but value will need to be converted into elite production if Nate is looking for the higher ranks.
7. Admiral Kryptonite - Me (1-2)
Week Total: 939 points (7th)
Per Game: 26.1 ppg (6th)
Bench Scoring: 292 points (5th)
Missed Games: 8 games (6th)
Transactions: -6.4 ppg (12th)
Standings: (6th)
Week 3 Total: 55
Season Average: 44.3 (5th)
Dropping two more spots after a beat down from Michael, my team had what feels like a down week. I had pretty average numbers across the board and it landed my team in an average rankings. The bench still looks strong but even that was only marginally good. Hopefully this is the worst my team ever looks this season.

6. All-NBA 5th Team - Matt (1-2)
Week Total: 974 points (5th)

Missed Games: 6 games (9th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (6th)
Week 3 Total: 43
Season Average: 54 (8th)
Up two spots from last week after a decisive win over Rich's team, Matt's team burst onto the scene with a ton of points after a pretty quiet start to the season. His bench has been putting up points all year but his starting lineup finally joined in on the fun. The per game average has been somewhat limited all year, even here which makes me question this team's ceiling.
5. RIM JOBS - Alex (3-0)
Week Total: 982 points (4th)
Per Game: 28.1 ppg (5th)
Bench Scoring: 187 points (10th)
Missed Games: 7 games (8th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (1st)
Week 3 Total: 40
Season Average: 52 (6th)
The big win over Nick grants Alex our jump of the week this week with four spots. The weekly total was good and it was on the back of an impressive per game average. The bench still needs work but it looks like this team may be sticking around. I'm not sure what to make of this team yet but they are clearly in the playoff running. I do expect that per game average to come back down to earth though.

4. Deng Girl - Freddy (3-0)
Week Total: 1064 points (2nd)
Per Game: 29.6 ppg (4th)

Missed Games: 3 games (11th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (3rd)
Standings: (1st)
Week 3 Total: 29
Season Average: 40 (4th)
Rising two spots after a big win over Chris, Freddy's team really looked strong this week. Coming in second in total scoring for both the starting lineup and the bench is nice but the per game average is what I'm really noting. It's hard to tell just how real this all is because I think Freddy's team has played more games than most but, either way, this squad is definitely a dangerous one.

3. Team Penetration - Michael (2-1)
Week Total: 1252 points (1st)

Missed Games: 12 games (3rd)
Transactions: -2.8 ppg (11th)
Standings: (4th)
Week 3 Total: 29
Season Average: 29.3 (2nd)
Dropping another spot despite putting up the week's highest score total in an easy win over me, Michael's team is clearly elite but he lands this low for a few reasons: the bench was average on the swap of Jerian Grant for Emmanuel Mudiay resulted in a decrease in points per game thus far. This is all probably much ado about nothing but its worth considering when comparing this team to the other top teams.

Week Total: 994 points (3rd)

Missed Games: 8 games (6th)
Transactions: +4 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (4th)
Week 3 Total: 28
Season Average: 28 (1st)
After a surprise loss to Freddy, Chris' team slips from first into second in our rankings this week. The bench is looking better and the transactions suggest improvement but Chris' starting lineup just couldn't quite pull it off this week. What would be spectacular numbers for most was a down week for Chris and it came against one of the few opponents who can make him pay.
1. Emperor Kuzma - Tyler (3-0)
Jumping two spots to the top after a nice win over Nate, Tyler's team has had a very good start to the season. The weekly total is rather modest here but everything else looks very good. The amount of missed games may also explain the large difference in Tyler's per game and weekly total standings. Armed with a good bench and elite starting lineup, there is a reason this team is undefeated.
Week Total: 963 points (6th)
