KID - Week 6 Power Rankings: LVPs

Each year, eleven of my best friends and I participate in a keeper fantasy football league, dubbed "Keeper? I Don't Even Like Her!" (KID, for short).  This post, ranking the teams in our league after their Week 4 performances, is for them.

Last week, we covered the MVPs of each team.  This week, we'll take a look at the other side of the coin, as I point out who has been bringing you down the most this football season (other than your wives, of course.  Boom, roasted). 

1. Room For Regret (Last week's rank: 1) 4-1, 604 points
Last week: Bad week for Kevin.  He lost to a guy who started two players on a bye, and then spent $19 of his FAAB to pick up Darren Evans, who he dropped 12 hours later.  Evans is a practice squad player who is fourth in line after Joseph Addai, but somehow Kevin confused him with Donald Brown.
LVP: I thought Kevin got a value when he took Antonio Gates with his second pick, but all he's gotten so far is 74 yards in one game.  At this point is his career, I don't think Gates will ever make it through a full season. 

2. Rice and Breesy (2) 3-2, 638 points
Last week: Sumit had a big win over Dave, another playoff contender.  It's nice to see DeAngelo Williams realize that there's a football season going on. 
LVP: Speaking of Williams, his 17 points last week still haven't justified the first round pick that Sumit used on him.  Not only did Williams stay in a Carolina timeshare, but Cam Newton is stealing all of his goal line carries. 

3. Beast Mode (4) 4-1, 596 points

Last week: You expect 20 point games from some of Hunt's players.  Aaron Rodgers?  Of course.  Fred Jackson?  Definitely.  Dwayne Bowe?  Ok, but you're starting to push it now.  Pierre Garcon?  What the...  Someone needs to stop this before Matt starts to believe that he's a competent fantasy manager.

LVP: He's started to make up for it, but Arian Foster left Hunt high and dry in the first couple of weeks, particularly in a loss to Scott.

4. A Few Good Chicks (3) 2-3, 580 points

Last week: Will's wide receivers not named Calvin Johnson are killing him.  Dexter McCluster?  Johnny Knox?  Michael Jenkins?  He deserved to lose to Hunt.
LVP: Knox has really let Will down this year.  Part of it is Mike Martz's fault for inexplicably giving any playing time to Roy Williams, but Knox hasn't done much in the snaps he has gotten. 

5. Dirty Mike & The Boys (7) 3-2, 518 points

Last week: Eli Manning scored just enough points for Colin to beat me, but not enough for the Giants to beat the Seahawks.  Ugh.

LVP: It's unfortunate, but Jamaal Charles is the biggest loss anyone has had this season.  Colin is still trying to pick up the pieces of his running back committee after Charles tore his ACL in Week 2. 

6. Aluminum Pint (5) 3-2, 494 points

Last week: Dave had fewer points than any other manager last week.  Even Ward beat him.  Eric Decker's two catches for negative-four yards was the lowpoint.

LVP: I thought Chris Johnson was in the clear once his holdout ended, but CJ2K has looked like CJ1K so far (I assume Skip Bayless gets some royalties for that comment). 

7. Father Superior (6) 3-2, 469 points

Last week: An easy week for Nick, as he got to face the bye..I mean, Ward's team.  Adrian Peterson did more in a quarter than most running backs do in a game.

LVP: Many expected Mike Williams to build on his 964 yards from his rookie season, but he'll be lucky if he breaks 600 at this pace. 

8. Doctor Asshole (9) 3-2, 476 points

Last week: Cam Newton continued to defy historical precedent and Marshawn Lynch had a very good game, but Jason is lucky that 84 points was able to get him a win.

LVP: Peyton or no Peyton, Dallas Clark is having an awful season.  Twenty-eight tight ends have scored more fantasy points than him. 

9. The Mighty Kegs (8) 2-3, 450 points

Last week: It was a very demoralizing week for Mike.  What looked like a fortuitous matchup against Jason turned into big loss.  Darren McFadden failed to crack 10 points for the first time all season.

LVP: Mike's fantasy team isn't the only thing that Reggie Wayne is hurting this season.  He'll retire as one of the top 10 receivers statistically of all-time, but the Hall of Fame voters will consider Wayne a product of his quarterback unless he puts up better numbers without Peyton Manning. 

10. Lambs_of_Combat (11) 3-2, 468 points

Last week: Scott started Ed Dickson and Felix Jones, both on bye.  So naturally, Victor Cruz and the San Francisco defense combine for 48 points and hand Kevin his first loss of the season.  Have I mentioned that I haven't won a game yet this year?

LVP: Scott took Jonathan Stewart with the first pick in the draft, and I applauded it, thinking that DeAngelo Williams was on his way out of Carolina.  Flash forward, and Stewart's value has been sucked away by Williams and Cam Newton. 

11. The Pudgy Pelican (10) Yours Truly, 0-5, 487 points

Last week: I was virtually defeated after Sunday's games, but Jahvid Best at least made it interesting with a great Monday night.  He came just shy of getting me the last touchdown I needed for a miraculous comeback over Colin.

LVP: Josh Freeman might be the lowest of the LVPs.  I've been at a severe disadvantage at quarterback all season, and last week was Freeman's coup de grace.  He mustered less than four points in an emasculating loss to San Francisco. 

12. STD? Fine By Me! (12) 0-5, 354 points

Last week: I thought Ward was going to win this week.  And then I saw that his opponent remembered to set his lineup.

LVP: Marques Colston, Anquan Boldin, Peyton Hillis...take your pick.  When you put together the kind of season that Ward is having, it takes a group effort of epicly crappy proportions.
