CLBB Preseason Rankings

 CLBB 2021 Preseason Rankings


The dust has settled from the draft weekend, the two-day hangover is gone, and we are all back to the real-world grind. What a draft weekend it was. All eight of the boys were under one roof like God intended and boy did we make the most of it. From the Mojo Moments to the giant pizzas, and everything in between, the draft weekend met all expectations and more. 

Here is a quick power ranking from the draft weekend: 

  1. “The greatest photo of the league, ever”

  2. Max sniffing Boom Cups yelling “MOJO MOMENT!”

  3. Additions and participation of Speed Bump and Blitzkrieg

  4. Seng Steaks (and other various sources of sustenance he supplied) 

  5. Sloan’s ability, no matter what the levels of debauchery, to look like it’s “just another Tuesday”


Now that we had a good laugh reminiscing, time for this year’s preseason power rankings:

  1. Revenge of Cobb’s Bubble Route – A baby on the way and a CFP exam in the future this owner did the only thing any responsible adult would do – carved out time to study fantasy football. For potentially the first time ever Kevin came in with more prep that any other owner and boy did it show. While none of the players drafted for Cobb’s Bubble Route are top tier (except for Diggs), the players drafted scream upside. If any other owners are looking for depth it won’t be found on the waivers because Kevin has amassed all the depth. While some said Glenn’s had the best RB core, CEH, Montgomery, Gibson, and Gus Bus will be saying “bring it.” His WRs are nothing to scoff at and his QB in Hurts has a good schedule and is a runner. We know what running quarterbacks are capable of and it’s scary. Best draft to date for this owner. Love this roster top to bottom.

    1. Sleeper: Jalen Hurts

    2. Hot Take: Finishes with just three losses and has the highest scoring season


  1. Santa I Know Him – Depth may not be the strength of this team but he won’t need it. Mahomes, Henry, Barkley, Metcalf, and Kennan Allen can win him any game at any given time no matter the match up. Studs and duds seemed to be the strategy for Travis and studs was what he got. You will never feel safe facing this team and if Thomas comes back and is healthy…just add another stud to this man’s title run. 

    1. Sleeper: Jerry Jeudy

    2. Hot Take: Michael Thomas doesn’t see the field in 2021


  1. My Dads Drinking Problem – Value, value, and more value. This man sat on the assets and even tried to move them mid draft. While this owner never seemed happy with any of his picks you look at the roster and think wow that is great value. The tax evasive Moe may have been onto something when rankings this man’s team because he has B+ players top to bottom. The RB core of Mixon, Carson, and Mostert is going to be putting up points. The WR core of Hopkins and Ridley is elite. The injuries are going to be a concern for Mixon, Carson, and Mostert but I’m not going to doubt the best of us when it comes to fantasy. When all three of his RBs go down the others will rise like a phoenix and launch him into the playoffs as if nothing happened. Assets are meant to be moved in this organization so expect some lengthy texts as soon as this glass cannon shatters.

    1. Sleeper: Javonte Williams

    2. Hot Take: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen will not be on the roster of Drinking Problem by end of season


  1. Glenn’s – This owner was not prepared and found himself caught up in two bidding wars left with a small purse at the end. Securing three absolute Chads for the RB core may have been a happy accident but the WR core is sorely lacking. Already making moves on the waiver wire and free agency is all you need to know about the confidence that this owner has with his team. Not good Bob. But as an analyst this team should barely make it into the playoffs with the RB juggernauts. 

    1. Sleeper: Laviska Jr. Shenault

    2. Hot Take: Antonio Brown is the Bucs WR 1 in fantasy


  1. Mojo Moments – Max would not be denied a top tier RB and he got Cook. A man that is very capable of winning a week by himself. His WR core is a beautiful mix of high upside guys, Evans and Jefferson, and the safest player in the west, Bobby Trees. The depth is lacking, and the team won’t be able to go to the bench when needed, thus he will fall out of the playoffs. The stockholders love a safe consolation champion so they may not be disappointed this year as this team has that in its sights.

    1. Sleeper: Marquez Callaway

    2. Hot Take: Aaron Jones finishes the season outside the top 10 RBs in fantasy


  1. The Demi-God Strikes Back - Reporters were able to glean from the owner that his team was middle of the pack and that the team’s draft required a lot of sit and wait guys. This analyst is willing to say fact true, not fake news. While his WR core should be the best 1, 2 punch the league has ever seen the rest of the roster looks underwhelming at first glance. Luckily this is fantasy where anything can happen. Hopefully this Demi-God can benefit from the Russian roulette that is fantasy because he needs it. 

    1. Sleeper: Corey Davis

    2. Hot Take: Wilson wins his first MVP and finishes as the top QB in fantasy


  1. Rowdy Rhinos – Mr. $2 was keeping it liquid during the draft. Maybe too liquid. He was able to get what seems to be his guy year in and year out with Cowboys running back Zek. But is that enough when Tony Pollard is the far superior back? It’s Return of the Mack in Indy and that hurts JT. Sloan has two TE in a league where there is no TE spot. It’s going to be interesting to see how it goes for this Rhino but if things start getting bad best believe this owner is cutting 75% of the roster.

    1. Sleeper: Michael Pittman

    2. Hot Take: Cooper Kupp finishes as a top 5 WR


  1. big oof – It’s a good thing this owner is in the best shape of the group because the camera is coming for you. At least we will have a great model for the calendar. As the name implies there were some big oofs in this draft. Namely spending $40+ on a TE in a league that has no TE position and having Josh Jacobs as your RB 2. Other oofs were drafting James Connor, two defenses, and an unborn baby. Will your team be as bad as we all seem to think? No probably not, this is an eight man league and you have CMC. Will it be as good as your amazing 2014 season? Absolutely not. Thank you for your service and may God bless.

    1. Sleeper: Trey Sermon

    2. Hot Take: CD Lamb finishes behind Cooper and Gallup in fantasy points. Kevin and Hannah give their child the middle name Tyler, after Tyler “Big Red” Larned.

Commish's Corner: Newsletter Exclusive

  Commish’s Corner Newsletter Exclusive: Bragging Rights Pre-Draft 2024 Season Outlook By: Steven Worjman 8/11/2024 It’s that time of the year again- where the mocks begin to flow, the simulations are ran, and the numbers crunched. The 2024 fantasy football draft is upon us, and I wanted to write an opinion column outlining what each team in the #1 fantasy league in the country has to gain, has to lose, and how their outlook could be summarized in a sentence. The draft order has been finalized, the location secured, and the new beer mile time to beat set. It’s draft week bitches. 8. Steve Workman: Coming off a brutal, but not necessarily surprising, last place finish to secure his 2nd Mully title, Workman looks to finally win the big one. Last year’s first 2 picks came to him in a dream prophecy- only to have his first round pick have every ligament torn in his knee week 2. What will his strategy be this year? For starters, he’s picking 8 for the first time in franchise history. He...
