This is the first time we've had rankings in a couple years. And we'll start with my favorite of them all... Post Draft Rankings. So let's get right into it. (Sorry the graphs look like garbage)
So unlike the previous five years, there is clearly a difference between one team and the rest. And let's be honest here, aside from Brad and Chad, this is by far appears to be very close for the 2-13 teams. I supper imposed the trend that all teams tend to follow. If you're above that, you're team is going to be exceptional, below it is not so much and if you land in the oval, that's a bad place to be sitting.
Anyway, looking at this with a closer scope. We'll start with Chad, who took last years scoring team and morphed it into a team of super prospects and what could surpass Brad in a few years as he's on top towards the top of that spectrum. With the reduction of teams the overall points per week should go up slightly. I had to zoom it out a little bit to more properly reflect where everyone lands here.
So who will have a solid chance to win the league based off of what we had in the past? Let's pull up the 2015 to 2018 rankings graphs to see:
This year if you take Brad out of the equation then who the hell even knows who wins. But it's always been someone above the middle line. Usually well above it. So let's look a little closer to at the Playoff picture and such:
AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE
Jordan Good 14-08 6,657.5 Brad Brenneman 21-01 7,539.5
Shon McCullough 13-09 6,771.0 Jason Speaks 13-09 6,539.0
Rob Jones 13-09 6,704.0 Jon Jones 11-11 6,455.5

Jeff Michaud 11-11 6,423.5 Andy Coak 08-14 6,108.0
John Bierkamp 08-14 6,218.5 Chad Sansbury 01-21 5,178.0
Jordan has significantly bolstered his team and much like the projections, I love what he did too. The top for teams on each side make the playoffs and it appears that the cousins are the favorites to win the divisions and earn the $50 for such. Brad obviously is the favorite for winning the Scoring Title.
Finally, let's get to the actual rankings. A few of these I posted before the draft was actually completed, so some stuff may have changed but nothing too serious.

I just wanted to point out that if Brad had that team on the left that he had in 2017. It would still be pretty sick... I actually wanted to do 2018 but I do not have those records anymore... Just the projected scores.
