Week 2 Newsletter
We’ve completed two weeks of games and are seeing the cream rise to the top. Teams TLaw and Order, Blessed + Highly Favored, and the FSB Zuggernauts stand at 2-0 led by Cucker Carlson who stands atop the league undefeated with 264.44 points.
Now, it’s time to unveil our highly anticipated brand power rankings, evaluating each owner’s Team Brand, scored through a unique blend of their team name and photo.
| Score | Owner | Team Name | Reason |
| S | Travifc | Blessed + Highly Favored | Travifc’s team name encapsulates his fantasy history and his distinctive personality. His photo complements his brand, making it easily recognizable even in the smallest app view. The synergy between name and photo catapults him to the prestigious S tier. |
| S | ryanzisman | FSB Zuggernauts | This dynasty has been a staple since year one, and the FSB addition in 2021–Fucking Shit Bird by Coach Jason Brown–adds character. His custom-made mascot photo, featuring a prominent Z, is optimized for quick recognition in our group chat. The harmony between his team name and photo firmly secures his spot in the S tier. |
| A | cklamb | The Show | This owner came in hot from a 10 game win streak and insisted The Show go on with his team name. Just like last season, he starts 0-2. His photo, featuring Mark Driscoll, reflects his no-nonsense leadership. Though less visible when scaled down, cklamb earns an A tier with a bonus for his 2022 championship gold ribbon. |
| A | jordancbosch | The Terrordome | “Terrordome” is an intimidating moniker, but it lacks a connection to league or player history, keeping it out of the S tier. However, his Public Enemy-themed photo is easily identifiable, placing him comfortably in the A tier. |
| A | SpencerMobley | Zero Dark Purdy | The consistent use of the huffing emoji photo for two seasons provides instant owner recognition. His team name aligns with his starting QB, earning him a well-deserved spot in the A tier. |
| A | scarends | TLaw and Order | Although the photo of Trevor Lawrence as the Christ is hilarious, it struggles to scale down effectively in the app. Nevertheless, his team name aligns with his QB and photo, securing a strong A tier ranking. |
| A | collardgreen | Rambo 🖕 | Collardgreen earns a solid A tier with a cohesive brand consisting of a matching photo and team name. If maintained as a dynasty, this team brand could potentially ascend to the S tier. |
| B | itszane | Kirk’s Cousin | Itszane’s team brand scores as a clear B tier due to the tie to his backup QB. While his photo doesn’t relate to the team name, it adds a personal touch that elevates his brand. |
| B | TKBigBucketz | Cucker Carlson | Despite TKBigBucketz having what many consider a quintessential username, the misalignment between his team name, photo, and players hinders his ranking. A more cohesive “Justin Cucker” name could have been possible with his 9th-round pick of Justin Tucker. Nonetheless, his photo of Roz from Monsters Inc scales down well and captures his grumpy persona. |
| C | aaronvanwormer | Presented by Crypto.com | Aaronvanwormer’s team name and sponsorship alignment is commendable. However, the unrelated photo detracts from the brand. The Roman mascot suggests intriguing alternatives like “The Pax Romana” or “Roman Legions,” which could enhance his brand further. |
| C | justwahrmanup | C- | This owner’s team name originated from a misreading of his draft score, resulting in the peculiar C- moniker. His Hasbulla photo symbolizes a fighting spirit against the odds, aligning with his team’s history. |
| C | TheJohnGilmore | Room 40 | “Room 40” hits on all cylinders and serves as a league inside joke, enhanced by Cosby donning a Browns uniform. However, the lack of cohesiveness between name and photo and the photo’s small-scale view hold this brand back. |
| D | anorton92 | We-fense | An identity struggle is evident as anorton92 transitioned from “Norton Nation” to “We-fense” within a week. His cover photo, featuring unrecognizable individuals and unreadable captions, falls short. |
| D | oneils | Florida Men | While the team name is relevant, the absence of a cover photo is notable. Starting Tua, Waddle, and the Dolphins Defense ties to the theme, but his roster puts his brand in a bind, limiting the possible number of roster modifications while maintaining brand integrity. |
