| Who flew highest this week? |
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. Just another way to consider how things are shaking out.
Here are my results:
12. MAMA said Knock u out - Rich (1-6)
Week Total: 681 points (12th)
Per Game: 24.3 ppg (9th)
Bench Scoring: 128 points (11th)
Missed Games: 20 games (1st)
Transactions: -6.8 ppg (12th)
Standings: (11th)
Week 7 Total: 77
Season Average: 72 (12th)
Season Average: 72 (12th)
Slipping a spot to the bottom after losing to big to Chris, Rich's season is looking pretty cooked. While the per game pace looks better and the missed games are a good excuse, this squad has systemically been a bottom ranking producer all season. The choice of Faried over Barea was controversial but ultimately doesn't change much. Time to seize the tank!
11. TimAin't Duncan - Nick (0-7)
Week Total: 689 points (11th)
Per Game: 23 ppg (10th)
Bench Scoring: 152 points (9th)
Missed Games: 14 games (6th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (12th)
Week 7 Total: 71
Season Average: 68.7 (11th)
Up a spot despite losing to me, Nick's team remains winless and rudderless for another week. The production has been disappointing since week two and there is no sign of change. Maybe Nick will beat Rich in their rematch later this season but, besides that, this squad will be an underdog every week. One way or anything, this squad could use a revamp.

10. All-NBA 5th Team - Matt (3-4)
Week Total: 712 points (10th)
Per Game: 22.3 ppg (12th)
Bench Scoring: 244 points (4th)
Missed Games: 16 games (3rd)
Transactions: 0 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (8th)
Week 7 Total: 61
Season Average: 51.9 (8th)
Fall four spots after a gruesome loss to Brett, Matt's team is in big trouble and the numbers show it. Injuries struck in a big way and Matt will need to fix his starting lineup quickly if he wants to remain in the playoff picture. This is a team designed for the season at hand so this is all very bad news. Fortunately, Matt's bench looked strong this week which could help with weathering this injury storm.
9. Emperor Kuzma - Tyler (4-3)
Week Total: 737 points (9th)
Per Game: 23 ppg (10th)
Bench Scoring: 137 points (10th)
Missed Games: 10 games (7th)
Transactions: +6.1 ppg (1st)
Standings: (4th)
Week 7 Total: 60
Season Average: 39.1 (4th)
Dropping four more spots with a loss to Alex, Tyler had a rough one once again as the injuries roll on. The waiver move was nice but this team is currently dependent on a few key guys, some of whom are sorely missed right now. I remain confident that this injuries will clear up here and, when that happens, this team will remain near the top. Unfortunately, things may get ugly in the meantime.

It was a comeback week for Nate as he rises two spots after the upset win over Freddy. The counting numbers all looked healthy and that is despite some key injuries. Nathaniel continues to hover right on the playoff bubble but with the injury bug striking a lot of the league, this squad might be able to hang on to that last playoff spot.
7. Team Penetration - Michael (4-3)
Week Total: 782 points (7th)
Per Game: 26.1 ppg (8th)
Bench Scoring: 170 points (8th)
Missed Games: 15 games (4th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (4th)
Week 7 Total: 48
Season Average: 32.6 (2nd)
Falling six spots out of first after losing to Danny, it was another rough week for Michael. The starting lineup has been struck by injuries and the team as a whole is strained. It is worth noting that if any other team was dealing with this level of injuries, that team would probably be in the bottom of the ranks. For an elite team like this one, it merely knocks them to the middle.
6. Love Kaman My Bibby's - Danny (5-2)
Week Total: 854 points (5th)
Per Game: 26.7 ppg (7th)
Bench Scoring: 212 points (5th)
Missed Games: 8 games (10th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (2nd)
Week 7 Total: 43
Season Average: 47 (6th)
Sliding three spots despite a big win over Michael, Danny's team has been in the upper half of the ranks for the greater part of a month and it is safe to say this is a playoff team. What I'm curious about now is if this team can really win a playoff series against the tops of the league. I know this team is good but I'm still not sure if Danny is a contender or a pretender. The numbers are good but I'm still bullish.
5. Foxy Ladies - Brett (3-4)
Week Total: 763 points (8th)
Per Game: 27.3 ppg (5th)
Bench Scoring: 291 points (2nd)
Missed Games: 15 games (4th)
Transactions: 0 ppg (2nd)
Standings: (8th)
Week 7 Total: 42
Season Average: 59.9 (10th)
Jumping a surprising four spots with a narrow win over Matt, Brett's team ranks so highly this week because of the strong per game pace of the starters, the big performance from the bench and the high amount of missed games. With Matt and Nate both looking vulnerable, Brett might be still be in the running for that eighth playoff spot. As an owner who has shown tanking intentions, it will be interesting to see how Brett navigates this situation.
In the fourth spot once again despite a surprise loss to Nathaniel, Forever Fourth Freddy has yet to hit the very top of the ranks so far this season but has had consistently strong performances all year long. Even in this loss, Freddy had a great pace and a league-leading bench. Due to this consistency, this team has risen to third in the season-long rankings, which might be the more informative ranking anyway.
It's finally time for some love as Alex jumps fives spots into second after a win over Tyler. While fortune has definitely been on this team's side for a majority of the season, there is no denying that this was a good week, especially next to the weeks that other owners had. The bench is still a concern but the starting lineup can punch with the best of them. It is not luck alone that has this team first in the standings.

Week Total: 824 points (6th)

It was a bounce back week as my team jumped five spots with a win over Nick. The production was good across the board though my team was a vision of health, a rare sight right now. I'd like to think that my depth gives my team consistency but I wonder if my investment in youth undermines that. Whatever the case, my team needs more weeks like this to establish that they are more than a first-round exit.

Missed Games: 19 games (2nd)
Transactions: -3 ppg (10th)
Standings: (2nd)
Week 7 Total: 30
Season Average: 30.7 (1st)
From second to first, Chriss' team looked big with a blowout over Rich. The starting lineup was on fire and they were truly in a league of their own this week. The bench was dead last, though the high amount of missed games could be part of that. While I do think there are issues to be addressed here, the core of this team looked powerful enough to silence those doubts this week.
