The rosters tell another.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129351; Tier 1 — Championship-Ready&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elite cores, depth, and matchup-proof flexibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Forge Flyers (Chris) — 5-5, 1066.5 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #1: Highest points scored in the league. Mahomes + Bijan + Etienne + AJ Brown + Diggs is a nightmare core. Depth with Javonte and Stevenson means he can absorb injuries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Record is deceiving — this is the most complete team on paper. Built for December.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Great Scott (Geoff) — 10-0, 996.5 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #2: Undefeated, anchored by Herbert + CMC + Nacua + Marvin Harrison Jr. + Odunze. Kamara and Kittle add veteran depth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Slightly less explosive than Chris’s roster, but consistency and balance keep him dominant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) — 5-5, 1011.0 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #3: Lamar Jackson is surging, Gibbs is ascending, Cook is steady, and TreVeyon Henderson adds explosive upside. WRs (Tucker, Wan’Dale) are matchup-dependent, but Jefferson’s return will elevate the roster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Dangerous playoff team once healthy. Depth makes this roster flexible and resilient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129352; Tier 2 — Playoff Locks with Cracks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strong builds with room to grow or trade into Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Buccing the Trend (Michael) — 6-4, 1059.0 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #4: Chase heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, Pickens is a sneaky WR2. Prescott is steady.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: High floor, but ceiling capped unless he adds another elite piece.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) — 6-4, 965.9 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #5: Barkley + Achane is explosive, Allen + Godwin provide WR stability, Metcalf adds depth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs QB consistency to push higher, but roster is playoff-ready.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. The Dream Team (Vivek) — 5-5, 937.3 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #6: Hurts + Adams is a strong core, RBs (White, Spears, Charbonnet) are young and ascending.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs WR consistency to climb, but dangerous if rookies pop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129353; Tier 3 — High Variance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capable of big wins, but vulnerable to volatility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) — 5-5, 973.3 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #7: Taylor + Kyren is strong, Addison is emerging, DJ Moore is volatile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Impact: Burrow’s season-ending injury is a huge blow — QB streaming caps ceiling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Still competitive, but no longer Tier 2 without a stable QB.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Patistan (Patrick) — 4-6, 974.4 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #8: Amon-Ra + Olave are elite WRs, Jeanty is promising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Impact: Skattebo’s season-ending injury gutted RB depth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs a waiver miracle or trade to stay alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Stokes Bay Stackers (Ross) — 5-5, 864.6 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #9: Allen + Kelce give positional advantage, Flowers is flashing WR1 upside, Henry still dangerous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Middling supporting cast keeps him volatile week to week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128680; Tier 4 — Rebuild / Salvage Mission&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short on balance or depth; need aggressive moves or lucky pickups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Bear Necessities (Dave) — 2-8, 877.2 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #10: Deebo + Worthy are fun, but RBs are thin and QB volatile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs trades to salvage; otherwise spoiler role.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. Oakland Golden Bears (Freddy) — 2-8, 836.6 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #11: Hall + Walker + Pacheco is solid RB trio, but WRs unreliable and Nix risky.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs WR1 to climb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie) — 5-5, 749.2 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Why #12: Despite record, points scored are lowest. WRs (Waddle, Lamb) are strong, but RB/QB holes limit upside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Outlook: Needs bold trade to stay relevant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129504; Final Thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Top tier (Chris, Geoff, Naithan) are built for December.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Middle tier (Michael, Tom, Vivek) are playoff locks but need one more move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Ben &amp;amp; Patrick took major hits with Burrow and Skattebo out — they’re now volatile wildcards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Bottom tier needs trades or waiver miracles.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/11/2025-copilot-tm-week-11-power-rankings.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-6914418272055983286</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Nov 2025 22:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-11-07T14:32:42.717-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 10 2025</title><description></description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://archive.org/download/loc-on-the-clock-week-10-2025/LOC%20On%20The%20Clock%20-%20Week%2010%202025.mp3"/><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/11/loc-on-clock-week-10-2025.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>LOC Films</itunes:author><itunes:keywords>LOC,fantasy,football,nfl,league,of,champions,The,LOC,Report</itunes:keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-2166659989543217904</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Nov 2025 18:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-11-06T10:47:21.380-08:00</atom:updated><title>2025 - The CoPilot TM Week 10 Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Tier 1 — Championship-ready&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams combine elite weekly floors with top-end ceilings and the depth to survive byes/injuries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Great Scott (Geoff) — 9‑0, 903.8 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #1: The single best starting five in the league — Herbert + CMC + Nacua + MHJ + Odunze. That starting lineup wins weeks on its own; bench veterans (Kamara, Kittle) preserve upside and trade currency. Risk: minimal; upside to finish first seed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Forge Flyers (Chris) — 5‑4, 970.36 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #2: Highest points for in the entire pool. Mahomes + two elite RBs/WRs = sustained scoring. Slightly lower seed because record/bye timing has been rough, but roster construction is arguably the most complete.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) — 5‑4, 909.02 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #3: High-upside, flexible roster. Lamar gives weekly boom potential; Gibbs + Cook + TreVeyon form a strong RB group with complementary roles. Bench depth and movable pieces (Dobbins/Pollard/Aiyuk) make this a dangerous playoff team once matchups are optimized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tier 2 — Top contenders who need a push&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One or two gaps separate these squads from elite status — still very playable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Buccing The Trend (Michael) — 6‑3, 975.96 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #4: Extremely high season scoring and consistent floor. If Michael adds a single high‑ceiling RB or WR, this team becomes a title favorite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) — 4‑5, 861.28 pts (after Burrow update)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #5: RB group and WR depth remain strong, but losing Burrow to a long absence is a real ceiling capper. With competent streaming QBs and smart waiver moves he’s still dangerous, but volatility increases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) — 5‑4, 862.44 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #6: Strong WR room and an explosive RB. A QB upgrade or a timely breakout from bench pieces would vault Tom upward; current construction leaves him just shy of Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tier 3 — High variance / hungry for balance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can beat anyone — can also cough up ugly weeks. Needs healthier balance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The Dream Team (Vivek) — 4‑5, 821.32 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #7: Good QB/WR/return assets. Needs steadier RB production to reduce week‑to‑week volatility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Patistan (Patrick) — 3‑6, 852.34 pts (after Skattebo season‑ending)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #8: Amon‑Ra and Olave provide high ceilings, but losing Skattebo cost the RB depth and forced Patrick into a riskier weekly setup. Trade or waiver RB is the immediate priority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Plymouth Pa… / Cardiff Sheep (Ross) — 5‑4, 797.06 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #9: Strong positional advantages (top QB or TE pairing in many weeks), but middling supporting cast. If Ross stabilizes a second reliable RB or bench WR, he’s a solid sleeper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tier 4 — Rebuild / salvage mission&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short on balance or depth; need aggressive moves or lucky pickups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Bear Necessities (Dave) — 2‑7, 793.68 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #10: Some nice pieces but roster construction has left the team RB‑thin and inconsistent. Needs targeted trades for immediate impact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Oakland Goldminers (Freddy) — 2‑7, 758.08 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #11: Scoring has been middling; roster needs WR stability and fewer high‑variance weekly decisions to climb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Make Kitchen Great Again (Ollie) — 4‑5, 667.46 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why #12: Despite a respectable record, total points show a capped ceiling. WRs may be solid, but RB &amp;amp; QB holes limit playoff upside without a major transaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnGqDUqPvvz3NYpMTdM74IrvBHmDsNyIsLDs-aV2JdeGXRofOlLAW7ZqLhD006XZ4Rm29HoruEBqa9oc348wHXwb9aVY5cRTRer5YxWk5F4boApFGVr1nWWn3hyphenhyphen_YWzK4rffvkLJNj47cN_SjxfEi-GY6fBd05uLSPGgLlkZwwriWIOuyTjIR56ZYh0-Y/s640/IMG_0910.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="367" data-original-width="640" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnGqDUqPvvz3NYpMTdM74IrvBHmDsNyIsLDs-aV2JdeGXRofOlLAW7ZqLhD006XZ4Rm29HoruEBqa9oc348wHXwb9aVY5cRTRer5YxWk5F4boApFGVr1nWWn3hyphenhyphen_YWzK4rffvkLJNj47cN_SjxfEi-GY6fBd05uLSPGgLlkZwwriWIOuyTjIR56ZYh0-Y/s320/IMG_0910.jpeg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/11/2025-copilot-tm-week-10-power-rankings.html</link><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnGqDUqPvvz3NYpMTdM74IrvBHmDsNyIsLDs-aV2JdeGXRofOlLAW7ZqLhD006XZ4Rm29HoruEBqa9oc348wHXwb9aVY5cRTRer5YxWk5F4boApFGVr1nWWn3hyphenhyphen_YWzK4rffvkLJNj47cN_SjxfEi-GY6fBd05uLSPGgLlkZwwriWIOuyTjIR56ZYh0-Y/s72-c/IMG_0910.jpeg" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-2304473293439774749</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 22:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-31T15:21:05.980-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 9 2025</title><description></description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://archive.org/download/loc-on-the-clock-week-9-2025/LOC%20On%20The%20Clock%20-%20Week%209%202025.mp3"/><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/10/loc-on-clock-week-9-2025.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>LOC Films</itunes:author><itunes:keywords>LOC,fantasy,football,nfl,league,of,champions,The,LOC,Report</itunes:keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-8397138507208583638</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 09:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-31T02:39:00.670-07:00</atom:updated><title>2025 - CoPilot TM Week 9 Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;“Forget the standings.

Forge Flyers (Chris) – 5-3, 894.56 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, AJ Brown, Diggs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris leads the league in total points and has a terrifying RB duo. Mahomes gives him weekly stability, and AJ Brown + Diggs offer WR1 upside. Depth is elite with Javonte, Stevenson, and Seahawks D. This is the most complete team on paper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Great Scott (Geoff) – 8-0, 799.80 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Herbert, CMC, Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kamara&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geoff’s undefeated run is backed by a lethal starting lineup. CMC is the most valuable RB in fantasy, and Herbert is a top-5 QB. Nacua and MHJ give him weekly ceiling, and Kamara + Kittle add veteran punch. Slightly less depth than Forge Flyers, but the starters are elite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Gridiron Gang (Naithan) – 4-4, 809.96 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Lamar Jackson, Gibbs, James Cook, TreVeyon Henderson, Tre Tucker, Wan’Dale Robinson&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naithan’s team is built for playoff chess. Lamar just dropped 4 TDs, Gibbs is surging, and Cook remains a volume play. TreVeyon Henderson adds explosive upside, while Tucker and Robinson are matchup-dependent WRs. The bench is deep with Dobbins, Monangai, Sutton, and Aiyuk (PUP). Jefferson’s return could be the playoff unlock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129352; Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strong builds with room to grow or trade into Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Buccing the Trend (Michael) – 6-2, 886.56 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Prescott, Chase, Jacobs, Pickens&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael’s team is steady and reliable. Chase is heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, and Pickens is a sneaky WR2. The ceiling isn’t as high as Tier 1, but the floor is rock solid. Needs one more elite piece to contend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom) – 6-2, 783.67 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Barkley, Achane, Allen, Godwin, Metcalf&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom’s team is built around WR depth and RB volatility. Achane is a home-run hitter, and Barkley is a volume anchor. Allen and Godwin give him a safe WR floor, and Metcalf + London on the bench make him matchup-proof. Needs a QB upgrade to truly contend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. The Dream Team (Vivek) – 4-4, 818.18 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Hurts, Adams, White, Spears, Charbonnet&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vivek’s team is quietly dangerous. Hurts gives him weekly QB edge, and Adams is still elite. The RBs are young and ascending, and the WR bench has breakout potential. Needs WR consistency to climb.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129353; Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capable of big wins, but vulnerable to volatility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Cardiff Sheep (Ross) – 4-4, 688.24 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Allen, Kelce, Wilson, Flowers, Henry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ross’s team is built around positional advantage. Allen and Kelce give him weekly top-3 scoring at QB and TE, and Flowers is flashing WR1 upside. Henry is aging but still dangerous. Needs a reliable RB2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben) – 5-3, 832.92 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burrow’s likely season-ending injury is a major blow. Ben now relies on Drake Maye or a waiver QB, which caps his weekly ceiling. Taylor and Kyren are strong, and Addison is emerging, but without a stable QB, this team drops a tier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Patistan (Patrick) – 3-5, 756.00 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Mayfield, Amon-Ra, Olave, Jeanty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Skattebo’s season-ending injury removes Patrick’s breakout RB. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Jeanty is promising, but the backfield is now thin and Mayfield remains volatile. Needs a waiver miracle or trade to stay alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128680; Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams need trades, waiver miracles, or divine intervention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Mike) – 3-5, 575.50 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike’s team has WR firepower but no RB support. Waddle and Lamb are elite, but the backfield is a wasteland. Goff is fine, but the ceiling is capped. Needs a trade or waiver gem to stay alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. Oakland Goldminers (Freddy) – 2-6, 672.38 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Nix, Hall, Walker, Pacheco&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freddy’s team has RB talent but no WR consistency. Hall and Walker are solid, and Pacheco is ascending. But the WRs are unreliable, and Nix is a risky QB1. Needs a WR1 and a little luck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Bear Necessities (Dave) – 1-7, 682.54 pts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Daniels, Deebo, Worthy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s team is officially in rebuild mode. Deebo and Worthy are fun, but the RBs are thin and the QB is volatile. Jefferson is on bye, and the bench is shallow. Time to play spoiler—or shake up the league with a blockbuster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/10/2025-copilot-tm-week-9-power-rankings.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-109654559656585576</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Oct 2025 19:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-11T12:05:53.031-07:00</atom:updated><title>2025 - CoPilot TM Week 6 Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Forget the standings. Who’s built to win in December? Who’s skating on luck? Let’s find out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129351; Tier 1: Built for the Belt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams have elite cores, depth across positions, and matchup-proof flexibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Forge Flyers (Chris)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: Explosive RBs, elite WR1, top-tier QB, depth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, AJ Brown, Javonte&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris has the most complete roster in the league. He’s stacked at RB, has a WR1 who can drop 30+, and Mahomes gives him weekly stability. His bench includes Diggs and Stevenson, meaning he can survive injuries and bye weeks without blinking. This is a championship-caliber build.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: Depth, upside, elite bench, strategic flexibility&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Gibbs, Cook, Ferguson, Golden, Stafford (with Lamar, Pollard, Aiyuk, Waller on bench)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naithan’s team is deceptively strong. While the starting lineup is solid, the bench is where the magic lives. Lamar and Pollard are matchup wreckers, and Aiyuk + Waller give him elite flex options. Once Jefferson returns, this team becomes terrifying. Built for playoff chess, not regular season checkers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Great Scott (Geoff)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR dominance, elite RB, top-tier QB&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Herbert, CMC, Nacua, Marvin Harrison Jr., Odunze&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geoff’s team is young, explosive, and balanced. CMC is the most valuable RB in fantasy, and Herbert is a top-5 QB. Nacua and MHJ give him weekly ceiling, and Kamara + Kittle on the bench add veteran punch. He’s undefeated for a reason—but he’s also built to stay that way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129352; Tier 2: Playoff Locks with a Few Cracks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams are strong but need a breakout or trade to reach Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Buccing the Trend (Michael)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR consistency, RB volume, safe floor&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Prescott, Chase, Jacobs, Pickens&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael’s team is steady and reliable. Chase is heating up, Jacobs is a volume monster, and Pickens is a sneaky WR2. The ceiling isn’t as high as Tier 1, but the floor is rock solid. If he adds one more elite piece, he’s a title threat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. The Dream Team (Vivek)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: RB depth, WR upside, QB stability&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Hurts, Adams, White, Spears, Charbonnet&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vivek’s team is quietly dangerous. Hurts gives him weekly QB edge, and Adams is still elite. The RBs are young and ascending, and the WR bench has breakout potential. If one of his rookies pops, he could leap into Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR depth, RB explosiveness, bench flexibility&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Barkley, Achane, Allen, Godwin, Metcalf&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom’s team is built around WR depth and RB volatility. Achane is a home-run hitter, and Barkley is a volume anchor. Allen and Godwin give him a safe WR floor, and Metcalf + London on the bench make him matchup-proof. Needs a QB upgrade to truly contend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129353; Tier 3: Dangerous but Unstable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams can beat anyone—but also implode on any given week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Old England Red Coats (Ross)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: Elite QB, TE advantage, WR upside&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Allen, Kelce, Wilson, Flowers, Henry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ross’s team is built around positional advantage. Allen and Kelce give him weekly top-3 scoring at QB and TE, and Flowers is flashing WR1 upside. Henry is aging but still dangerous. If he finds a reliable RB2, this team could surge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Patistan (Patrick)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR talent, RB volatility, breakout potential&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Mayfield, Amon-Ra, Olave, Skattebo, Jeanty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patrick’s team is boom-bust. Amon-Ra and Olave are elite talents, and Skattebo just exploded. But the RBs are unpredictable, and Mayfield is a risky QB1. If he stabilizes the backfield, he’s a playoff wildcard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: RB depth, WR youth, QB upside&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Maye, Taylor, Kyren, DJ Moore, Addison&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ben’s team is trending up. Taylor and Kyren are a strong RB duo, and Addison is emerging. Moore is volatile but capable of 25+. If Burrow returns to form, this team could sneak into the playoffs and cause chaos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128680; Tier 4: Rebuild or Reboot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams need trades, waiver miracles, or divine intervention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR talent&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Goff, Waddle, Lamb&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ollie’s team has WR firepower but no RB support. Waddle and Lamb are elite, but the backfield is a wasteland. Goff is fine, but the ceiling is capped. Needs a trade or waiver gem to stay alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. Oakland Golden Bears (Freddy)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: RB youth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Nix, Hall, Walker, Pacheco&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freddy’s team has RB talent but no WR consistency. Hall and Walker are solid, and Pacheco is ascending. But the WRs are unreliable, and Nix is a risky QB1. Needs a WR1 and a little luck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Bear Necessities (Dave)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strengths: WR upside&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roster Core: Daniels, Deebo, Worthy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s team is officially in rebuild mode. Deebo and Worthy are fun, but the RBs are thin and the QB is volatile. Jefferson is on bye, and the bench is shallow. Time to play spoiler—or shake up the league with a blockbuster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129504; Final Thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This league is deep, strategic, and full of sleeper potential. The top teams are built for December, not just October. The middle tier is volatile, and the bottom tier needs to act fast. With bye weeks and injuries looming, the next few weeks will separate the managers from the magicians.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2-mVPFanIV1wHkqfCgJ4lgxPpkTbadtQojPPEs8afxLhdWwTBEd2s3ubr8tYwZsjAt4gTXDrA0jbxLXvZM5D_a5mH7G_IRnxcpnCfT7G4GK0suLbx3T7Cclhe2hh8M2OpnGA7AfGiTu0To5koYUU-lYK7nhINaesQxYE2pF7_oOZ0xRcyrdVe19X-Lw/s828/new%20logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="828" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2-mVPFanIV1wHkqfCgJ4lgxPpkTbadtQojPPEs8afxLhdWwTBEd2s3ubr8tYwZsjAt4gTXDrA0jbxLXvZM5D_a5mH7G_IRnxcpnCfT7G4GK0suLbx3T7Cclhe2hh8M2OpnGA7AfGiTu0To5koYUU-lYK7nhINaesQxYE2pF7_oOZ0xRcyrdVe19X-Lw/s320/new%20logo.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/10/2025-copilot-tm-week-6-power-rankings.html</link><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2-mVPFanIV1wHkqfCgJ4lgxPpkTbadtQojPPEs8afxLhdWwTBEd2s3ubr8tYwZsjAt4gTXDrA0jbxLXvZM5D_a5mH7G_IRnxcpnCfT7G4GK0suLbx3T7Cclhe2hh8M2OpnGA7AfGiTu0To5koYUU-lYK7nhINaesQxYE2pF7_oOZ0xRcyrdVe19X-Lw/s72-c/new%20logo.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-7653268817700669633</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-03T13:00:13.188-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 5 2025</title><description></description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://archive.org/download/loc-on-the-clock-week-5-2025/LOC%20On%20The%20Clock%20-%20Week%205%202025.mp3"/><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/10/loc-on-clock-week-5-2025.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>LOC Films</itunes:author><itunes:keywords>LOC,fantasy,football,nfl,league,of,champions,The,LOC,Report</itunes:keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-8860048701502103163</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2025 20:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-10-02T13:07:03.964-07:00</atom:updated><title>2025 - The Copilot TM Week 5 Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Four weeks in, and the contenders are flexing while the rest scramble for relevance. The bye weeks are coming. The panic trades are brewing. Let’s rank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128293; Tier 1: Championship Contenders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams are setting the pace and showing no signs of slowing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-2 | Points For: 457.86&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the record is .500—but the scoring is elite. Naithan’s squad leads the entire league in points and has faced brutal matchups. Lamar, Pollard, Gibbs, and Keon Coleman are delivering, and the bench depth is real. This team is built for the long haul and could explode once the schedule softens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Forge Flyers (Chris)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 3-1 | Points For: 439.96&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris’s team is a model of consistency. Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, and Tyreek Hill continue to dominate, and the Flyers are quietly climbing. If they stay healthy, they’re a lock for the playoffs—and a threat to win it all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Buccing the Trend (Michael)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 3-1 | Points For: 415.36&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael’s squad is surging. A strong record and top-tier scoring make them one of the most balanced teams in the league. They’ve got the depth and the upside to challenge anyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128170; Tier 2: Playoff Hopefuls&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams are winning, scoring, and one breakout away from Tier 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Great Scott (Geoff)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 4-0 | Points For: 427.12&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undefeated and second in scoring in Portsmouth. Geoff’s team is clutch, consistent, and riding a wave of momentum. But with tougher matchups ahead, we’ll see if they can hold the line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Partisan (Patrick)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-2 | Points For: 414.54&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patrick’s team is quietly dangerous. Solid scoring and a balanced roster make them a playoff threat. If they can string together wins, they’ll be knocking on Tier 1’s door.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. The Dream Team (Vivek)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-2 | Points For: 352.76&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vivek’s squad is volatile but capable. Big weeks followed by busts have kept them in the middle tier. If the stars align, they could surge—but they’ll need consistency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129512; Tier 3: Wild Cards &amp;amp; Upset Watch&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams are unpredictable—capable of brilliance or disaster depending on the week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 3-1 | Points For: 336.80&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom’s team is winning but not dominating. The scoring is middle-of-the-pack, and the matchups have been favorable. Still, 3-1 is a great place to be, and a breakout game could change the narrative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Wensleydale Wanderers (Ross)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 3-1 | Points For: 330.64&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ross’s team is gritty and efficient. They’re winning without blowing teams out, which suggests strong management and matchup savvy. A few roster upgrades could push them higher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Oakland Goldfish (Freddy)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-2 | Points For: 321.72&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freddy’s squad is hanging tough. The scoring is decent, and the record is respectable. They’re one waiver gem or trade away from making noise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128201; Tier 4: Panic Button Territory&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These teams need a spark—fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-3 | Points For: 255.34&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ollie’s team is struggling to find rhythm. The scoring is low, and the losses are piling up. Time to shake up the lineup, hit the waiver wire, or swing a bold trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. I KNOW SOMETHING (Ben)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 0-3 | Points For: 330.88&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ben’s team is scoring better than some mid-tier squads but still winless. That suggests bad luck or brutal matchups. The pieces are there—just needs a spark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Bear Necessities (Dave)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 0-4 | Points For: 328.72&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s team is officially in crisis mode. The scoring isn’t terrible, but the record is. Jefferson and Deebo can’t carry the whole load. It’s time for a shakeup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129504; Final Thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Week 4 has clarified the hierarchy—but also exposed some cracks. The top scorers aren’t always the top seeds, and the winless teams aren’t hopeless. With bye weeks looming and injuries mounting, the next few weeks will be a test of depth, strategy, and boldness.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/10/2025-copilot-tm-week-5-power-rankings.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-5180242034961024312</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Sep 2025 17:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-09-27T10:45:08.401-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 4 2025</title><description></description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://archive.org/download/loc-on-the-clock-week-4-2025/LOC%20On%20The%20Clock%20-%20Week%204%202025.mp3"/><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/loc-on-clock-week-4-2025.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>LOC Films</itunes:author><itunes:keywords>LOC,fantasy,football,nfl,league,of,champions,The,LOC,Report</itunes:keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-6946047001019303626</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2025 21:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-09-25T14:33:01.107-07:00</atom:updated><title>2025 - The Copilot TM Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;"&gt;Three weeks in, and the storylines are starting to write themselves.

After a narrow Week 1 loss, Naithan’s squad has roared back with dominant performances. Lamar Jackson is heating up, Tony Pollard is a volume monster, and Jahmyr Gibbs is flashing elite upside. Add Keon Coleman’s breakout and a deep bench, and this team isn’t just dangerous—it’s terrifying. The only thing missing? A signature win over another Tier 1 team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"&gt;2.

While not the highest scorer, Great Scott has been ruthlessly efficient—winning close matchups and avoiding major busts. The roster may not be flashy, but it’s balanced and battle-tested. If Geoff can keep stacking wins while others cannibalize each other, he’ll be sitting pretty come playoff time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"&gt;3.

Mahomes, Bijan Robinson, Travis Etienne, and Tyreek Hill form a core that can drop 130+ any given week. A narrow Week 3 loss doesn’t dent their contender status—it just adds fuel.

Some teams are flexing early dominance, others are clinging to upside plays, and a few are already staring down the waiver wire like it’s a lifeline. With updated standings and performance data, here’s how the league stacks up heading into Week 3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128293; Tier 1: Championship Contenders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Great Scott (Geoff)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-0 | Points For: 229.10&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The highest scorer in the league so far, Great Scott is living up to the name. Back-to-back wins and a monster point total make Geoff the early favorite. If the roster is as deep as the score suggests, this team is built for a title run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Forge Flyers (Chris)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-0 | Points For: 211.26&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mahomes, Bijan, Etienne, and Tyreek Hill continue to deliver. Chris’s squad is explosive and consistent, and the Flyers are flying high with no signs of slowing down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Blackpool Pirates (Ross)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 207.68&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite a Week 2 loss, Ross’s team remains elite in scoring. If the defense tightens up and the roster stays healthy, the Pirates could easily reclaim the top spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128170; Tier 2: Playoff Hopefuls&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Gridiron Gang (Naithan)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 212.16&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naithan’s squad is third in total points and trending upward. Lamar, Pollard, and Gibbs are delivering, and if the WRs pop, this team could leap into Tier 1 next week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Bucking The Trend (Michael)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 180.76&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A solid bounce-back week puts Michael back in the mix. The roster has upside, and the schedule ahead looks favorable. Don’t sleep on this one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Pattistan (Patrick)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 183.58&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patrick’s team is quietly climbing. A balanced roster and smart waiver moves could make Pattistan a playoff dark horse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129512; Tier 3: Wild Cards &amp;amp; Upset Watch&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Tom’s Tyrants (Tom)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 2-0 | Points For: 166.70&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Undefeated but low on scoring. Tom’s team is winning close, gritty matchups—but the lack of firepower could catch up fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. The Dream Team (Vivek)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 147.52&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A middling score and a split record. Vivek’s team needs a breakout game to prove it belongs in the playoff conversation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. Make Kitchens Great Again (Ollie)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 1-1 | Points For: 135.84&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ollie’s team is hovering near the bottom in scoring but has shown flashes. A few lineup tweaks could unlock hidden potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128201; Tier 4: Panic Button Territory&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Bear Necessities (Dave)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 0-2 | Points For: 176.72&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dave’s team is scoring decently but can’t buy a win. The roster has talent—Jefferson, Deebo, Jayden Daniels—but needs better matchups and maybe a trade spark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT NFL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 0-2 | Points For: 169.86&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burrow and Kyren Williams are solid, but the rest of the lineup is struggling. This team needs a waiver miracle or a blockbuster trade to stay alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Oakland Gold (Freddy)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record: 0-2 | Points For: 123.52&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freddy’s squad is in freefall. Lowest scoring team in the league and no wins. It’s time to shake things up—big time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129504; Final Thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Week 2 revealed the contenders, exposed the pretenders, and set the stage for some spicy Week 3 matchups. With trade season heating up and waiver wire gems emerging, the league is wide open for strategic moves and narrative swings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEG0OxRQoZaadUASpm9BXk3sVtyB6fby7cod5wlzDZHIV29I8gTO-rsXLtuennO24uEM7otxkxknsA2wAwziPie7MVF9OYb3Tms6sINzjPcXF4GWW9IqRFLLV8aL3xIej6XcicvogGGf5OLnxVdjwLeHCF4lVk5A_a97sghfP1DVOvSRao8hv446wC3fM/s646/Picture4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="646" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEG0OxRQoZaadUASpm9BXk3sVtyB6fby7cod5wlzDZHIV29I8gTO-rsXLtuennO24uEM7otxkxknsA2wAwziPie7MVF9OYb3Tms6sINzjPcXF4GWW9IqRFLLV8aL3xIej6XcicvogGGf5OLnxVdjwLeHCF4lVk5A_a97sghfP1DVOvSRao8hv446wC3fM/s320/Picture4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/2025-copilot-tm-week-2-2025-power.html</link><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEG0OxRQoZaadUASpm9BXk3sVtyB6fby7cod5wlzDZHIV29I8gTO-rsXLtuennO24uEM7otxkxknsA2wAwziPie7MVF9OYb3Tms6sINzjPcXF4GWW9IqRFLLV8aL3xIej6XcicvogGGf5OLnxVdjwLeHCF4lVk5A_a97sghfP1DVOvSRao8hv446wC3fM/s72-c/Picture4.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-6478287002557426561</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2025 17:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-09-13T10:48:57.596-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 2 2025</title><description></description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://archive.org/download/loc-on-the-clock-week-2-2025/LOC%20On%20The%20Clock%20-%20Week%202%202025.mp3"/><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/loc-on-clock-week-2-2025.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>LOC Films</itunes:author><itunes:keywords>LOC,fantasy,football,nfl,league,of,champions,The,LOC,Report</itunes:keywords></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-5121165191946901676</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-09-11T09:55:00.434-07:00</atom:updated><title>2025: The Copilot TM Week 1 Power Rankings</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&#127944; League of Champions Fantasy League Power Rankings: Week 1 Breakdown&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 2025 NFL season is off and running, and so is the chaos, glory, and heartbreak of the League of Champions Fantasy League. With twelve teams split across two divisions, Week 1 delivered fireworks, flops, and a few eyebrow-raising performances. Whether you’re riding high or licking your wounds, it’s time to see where your squad stands in the inaugural Power Rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128293; Top Tier: Championship Contenders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Forge Flyers (1-0, 98.56 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mahomes. Bijan. Tyreek. Etienne. This team isn’t just built to win—it’s built to explode. With a balanced roster of elite talent and upside plays, Forge Flyers look like the early-season juggernaut. Their Week 1 win wasn’t the highest score, but it was the most complete performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Gridiron Gang (1-0, 96.12 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lamar Jackson leads a squad that’s quietly dangerous. Tony Pollard and Jahmyr Gibbs offer dual-threat versatility, while Keon Coleman looks like a breakout WR. This team has depth, youth, and momentum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Blackpool Pirates (1-0, 138.86 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The highest scorer in the league this week, Blackpool Pirates came out swinging. While their roster remains under wraps, the numbers speak volumes. If the talent matches the output, they’re a top-three lock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Tokyo Tyrants (1-0, 132.82 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another monster score from a mystery roster. Tokyo Tyrants made a statement in Week 1, and if they can sustain this pace, they’ll be a nightmare matchup all season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128170; Mid Tier: Playoff Hopefuls&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Great Scott (1-0, 107.52 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A solid win with strong scoring, Great Scott is lurking just outside the top tier. Roster details are pending, but the early signs are promising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Make Kitchens Great Again (1-0, 118.48 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A cheeky name and a cheekier score. MKGA posted a strong Week 1 and could easily climb the ranks with consistent output. A team to watch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Bear Necessities (0-1, 82.22 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don’t let the loss fool you—this team has Jefferson, Deebo, and Jayden Daniels. The foundation is there, and a bounce-back week could flip the narrative fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129512; Wild Cards &amp;amp; Upset Watch&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Pedistan (0-1, 88.52 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A competitive score in a tough loss. Roster details are still emerging, but Pedistan could be a sleeper if they’ve got hidden gems waiting to pop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT NFL (0-1, 75.12 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burrow and Kyren Williams offer upside, but the supporting cast needs to step up. A waiver wire move or trade could unlock this team’s potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128201; Bottom Tier: Needs a Spark&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10. Bucking The Trend (0-1, 95.82 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectable score, but outgunned in Week 1. This team could rise quickly with the right matchup, but they’ll need to tighten up the lineup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11. The Dream Team (0-1, 94.36 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A tough loss in a close game. The Dream Team has potential, but Week 2 will be a defining moment—boom or bust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12. Pasadena Golden Bears (0-1, 72.22 PF)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lowest scorer of the week, Pasadena needs a shakeup. Whether it’s a trade, waiver magic, or lineup overhaul, something’s gotta give.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#129504; Final Thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Week 1 is just the beginning, but the tone has been set. The top-tier teams are flexing early, while the rest of the league scrambles to adjust. Injuries, breakout stars, and waiver wire wizardry will reshape the landscape in the weeks ahead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8k4kFIqLRyv9FEuolIs9cv9LhQmPwudRBV53U2mG7Oc2X-HeUHDdSLm0HFA2phiLrIUeUOKn-g3UG-NFQmOBMqLgCk-VvSYo-wXKIdlgqwUZr0NKZ7MM37Vq0wWF5ZmWvpnG_zNNBQrhChwlx7M5E8X_izyJ7JAkVZ1OiAFt4OOmIQV1pbsuIu7-OOg/s646/Picture4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="646" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8k4kFIqLRyv9FEuolIs9cv9LhQmPwudRBV53U2mG7Oc2X-HeUHDdSLm0HFA2phiLrIUeUOKn-g3UG-NFQmOBMqLgCk-VvSYo-wXKIdlgqwUZr0NKZ7MM37Vq0wWF5ZmWvpnG_zNNBQrhChwlx7M5E8X_izyJ7JAkVZ1OiAFt4OOmIQV1pbsuIu7-OOg/s320/Picture4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/2025-copilot-tm-week-1-power-rankings.html</link><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8k4kFIqLRyv9FEuolIs9cv9LhQmPwudRBV53U2mG7Oc2X-HeUHDdSLm0HFA2phiLrIUeUOKn-g3UG-NFQmOBMqLgCk-VvSYo-wXKIdlgqwUZr0NKZ7MM37Vq0wWF5ZmWvpnG_zNNBQrhChwlx7M5E8X_izyJ7JAkVZ1OiAFt4OOmIQV1pbsuIu7-OOg/s72-c/Picture4.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296644353017054446.post-3280250811086727681</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2025 10:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-09-06T03:33:52.987-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">podcast</category><title>LOC On The Clock - Week 1 2025</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Welcome to the new format of the LOC Report!

And, as the ancient Chinese proverb states, ‘say it on a live podcast, and it must be fulfilled’, so here we have a full set of on-time power rankings. We’ll hit these in reverse order, as always, but the post-draft edition is inevitably a bit of a 52-card pickup system for rankings, particularly when everyone decides to selfishly draft quite sensibly. I’m going for an organic best pick / worst pick system, and seeing where the flow takes me so, without delaying any further, lets see if it comes out in the wash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;12. Bear Necessities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Michael Pittman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: David Montgomery&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Every year, one team seems to end up with a lot of my draft day avoid list. Usually, that is nothing but a good omen for the season ahead, but this team does feel chocked full of aging veterans, some of whom are almost certainly past their fantasy prime. I’m less worried about Pittman’s targets than most (check the pre-injury data from last year, he’ll be fine) and I thin Brian Robinson was a great pick too, but this team screams TD reliance to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;11. IKSAN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Chris Godwin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Dak Prescott&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;The Dak Prescott pick has been talked about a lot already, and that is completely justified. It was the biggest shock of the draft, and he will need a repeat of last season to not make this look bad. As a result of that, we have Zamir White and George Pickens starting in week 1. Far from terrible, but probably not striking fear into Forge Flyers. Chris Godwin is not a sexy favourite pick, but until Hollywood Brown is fit again, he is the only player I’d be confident in relieving any of the starters, should they stutter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;10.

After promising to go light on the RBs, we ended up with 3 in the first 4 rounds, finishing with the tremendously underwhelming Kamara. Don’t get me wrong, decent player, slightly past his best and in a mediocre offense, but still decent. It was more the build up in the room, including the not so subtly implied sexual stimulation, at the fact Alvin Kamara was still available in the 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2" style="font-size: 7px; line-height: 8.4px; vertical-align: super;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(at least a round or two earlier than I would have even considered him). Maybe that’s just me. Chase was amazing value, and so was Jordan Love, they save the team for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;The Dream Team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;(autodraft)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Pick:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Lamar Jackson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(autodraft)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pick:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Najee Harris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;It’s always the same with autodraft, you get some great value from inexplicable fallers, and then you find out you have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;glaring holes elsewhere. Lamar was great value, Davante could be a steal, and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;WR room in general is loaded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;But,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;then you notice that Najee is not in a RB room as such, more of a cubicle. And not a big, fancy, disable-access cubicle, very much a ‘can’t-swing-a-cat’ sized cubicle, with no floor (fantasy football points floor, that is).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;8. Oakland Bears&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Dalton Kincaid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Jonathon Brooks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Firstly, welcome to the league Freddy. Secondly, fair warning, and you’ll pick this up fairly early on anyway, but these rankings are rarely even half right, so take them with a pinch of salt. Anyway, back to the team, which is pretty well balanced, even with the spattering of autodraft randomers at the end. I like the Richardson pick, although pairing with Taylor could cap both. And I think Kincaid was a sneaky great pick as a potential target hoover for Josh Allen. Brooks could prove me wrong, but he felt early with the injury and the team he will be playing for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;7. Strawberry Jamal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s3" style="line-height: 21.6px; text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;AI artwork&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nick Chubb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Rhamondre Stevenson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;First and foremost, I would like to raise a glass to a coach who decided to put a stop to a long and tumultuous ride with autodraft. And, the team looks decent as a result. A few bad offense RBs have me a little concerned, but there is some good volume in play. I really like the Chubb pick, although Jerome Ford would have been a nice compliment. I think Burrow, Jefferson, Aiyuk, and St. Etienne, form one of the highest upside player cores in the league.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;6. Buccing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;The&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Trend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Jaxon Smith-Njigba&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Stephon Diggs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;The team with Patrick Mahomes is always going to be one you don’t want to face on any given week and, paired with Bijan and Jacobs, I think this team carries a high weekly floor. There’s not much continuity on this roster though, and we won’t really know the upside until roles become more defined. I am fairly confident that Smith-Njigba will be starting over Diggs by week 3, and is an early pick for steal of the draft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;5. Tom’s Tyrants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Jayden Daniels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Aaron Jones&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Let’s not beat around the bush, this team is probably going to ride or die on the back of Daniels. The value was great, but if he can’t replicate his Heisman form, a season of waiver surfing could pursue. This definitely felt like a value&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;based draft, with Tee Higgins and Amon-Ra being particularly notable, but some picks could lack the upside for a deep playoff run, looking at Jones and Zach Moss in particular.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;4. Patistan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Mark Andrews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: De’Von Achane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;A hard team to pick my least favourite player from, which you can only imagine is a good sign. They’re relying on Miami being just as explosive, without even owning their most explosive player, so there is some massive boom / bust risk. I thought the Andrews pick was great value though, and the high upside bench should mean this team gets stronger as the season goes on. Respect must be paid to landing Tua so late, he could make the draft strategy look genius.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s4" style="font-style: italic; line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Could.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Gridiron Gang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Rico Dowdle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Deebo Samuel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;I couldn’t put Taysom Hill as my favourite pick for two reasons. Firstly, I don’t need to hear anymore about what a fantasy legend Taysom Hill is and, secondly, he simply isn’t. That being said, plenty of good picks to choose from here, and I do appreciate the late round RB additions looking for sneaky backfield leaders. Collins and Deebo weren’t my favourite value picks, I feel both their target volumes could be unreliable week-to-week, but that’s not to say that this isn’t a strong team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;2. Wren Kitchens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick: Terry McLaurin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick: Malik Nabers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;I’m going to skip the low hanging fruit (homer QB2 pick, confirmed misogynist pick) and focus on the rest of the team, which is pretty handily put together. I don’t love the value on Nabers, but he is going to get targets, and the early season prominence of the Hubbard / Ford combo will give him time to get set. Other middle round picks like McLaurin and Rice profile to be solid and consistent contributors which, paired with the anchors of Hurts and McCaffrey, could mean a high weekly ceiling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Great Scott&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Favourite Pick:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Cooper Kupp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px; padding-left: 36px;"&gt;​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Least Favourite Pick:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;Javonte Williams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;I’m splitting hairs on the least favourite pick here. I think Williams probably ends up too RBBC to be a reliable starter, but he was drafted late with that risk built in. This one went under the radar for me on draft day, but I think the starting lineup is great. Kupp was one of my favourite draft day targets, and I think Evans and Hall were great values. Murray could be special, if he stays fit, and the bench is laden with upside, particularly Worthy and Reed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;There we have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;it;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 21.6px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;the first rankings of the season are in the books. And, unlike other LOC media, I won’t be selling my soul with non-league material. These rankings are LOC only. Have a great season, good luck to all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://locreport.blogspot.com/2024/09/2024-power-rankings-week-1.html</link><thr:total>0</thr:total><author>LoCfilms@gmail.com (LOC Films)</author></item></channel></rss>
