Power Rankings & Playoff Odds

Fantasy League: Football Junkies

The 2025 Fantasy Football Junkies season has officially reached its boiling point. With playoff spots tightening and rivalry matchups looming, Week 8 brought chaos, comebacks, and separation across the standings. Some front offices are fine-tuning for a title run — others are scrambling to stay alive.

Here’s how every team stacks up entering Week 9, who’s trending up, and who’s in danger of fading out.

#1. Horse Meats (6–2) — Trending: Steady

Power Ranking Analysis:
Justin A’s Horse Meats remain the class of the Junkies League. Every decision feels intentional, every matchup prepared for. This team combines elite production with depth that few can match. When the roster clicks, it feels inevitable.

Playoff Outlook (99%)
With a strong record and excellent point differential, Justin is all but playoff-bound. The goal now is maintaining form and securing the No. 1 seed for the postseason’s easiest path.

#2. CEEDEEZ NUTS (5–3) — Trending: Up 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Jason C’s first season has been nothing short of impressive. CEEDEEZ NUTS have emerged as a model of balance — no weak spots, no wasted opportunities. Consistency across the roster has carried this team into elite territory.

Playoff Outlook (90%)
Momentum is on Jason’s side. With depth and confidence growing, he’s positioned to clinch early. Continued smart management should lock up a top-four seed soon.

#3. Lamar So Serious? (5–3) — Trending: Up 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Commissioner Steven L has found his stride. After early inconsistency, Lamar So Serious? is surging behind strong positional play and lineup stability. This roster has transformed into a steady, high-floor contender built for post-season football.

Playoff Outlook (92%)
Steven’s playoff odds are among the league’s best. A top-three seed is within reach if current momentum continues. This team looks postseason-ready and rising.

#4. BigDawgs (5–3) — Trending: Down 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Angel G’s BigDawgs still bark loud, but the bite hasn’t been as sharp lately. Inconsistency at key skill positions has tempered what was once a dominant start. The talent is undeniable — the execution needs to catch back up.

Playoff Outlook (93%)
Playoff positioning remains strong, but another loss could drop Angel into the logjam. A reset week may be exactly what this roster needs to regain its alpha form.

#5. Bang Bang Miner Gang (5–3) — Trending: Up 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Jason G’s Miner Gang keeps climbing quietly but convincingly. This is a team built on smart decisions, consistency, and strong quarterback play. No panic, no overreactions — just steady production that wins matchups.

Playoff Outlook (91%)
Jason G’s team is in great shape for the postseason. If the core stays healthy, he could enter November/December as the most balanced threat in the entire league.

#6. Goal Line Gaggers (4–4) — Trending: Down 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Ramiro G’s Goal Line Gaggers hit a mid-season skid but remain competitive. The roster is strong up top, yet recent weeks have exposed thin depth. A few lineup tweaks could make a huge difference heading into the playoff chase.

Playoff Outlook (92%)
The Gaggers still hold control of their fate, but must stop the slide quickly. One win would stabilize their standing; a loss could pull them into the .500 traffic jam.

#7. She Gibbs Me Head (4–4) — Trending: Up 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Leo R’s She Gibbs Me Head is on the rise. Improved lineup optimization and surging WR play have turned this squad into a legitimate playoff dark horse. When everything clicks, this team’s upside rivals anyone’s.

Playoff Outlook (69%)
Leo sits just outside the playoff bubble but has the momentum to change that. Win two straight, and he’s right in the hunt. The key is maintaining consistency after weeks of volatility.

#8. Its Allen The Hips (4–4) — Trending: Up 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Cesar C’s Its Allen The Hips are finding rhythm at the perfect time. Strong waiver management and improved weekly output have revived a once-shaky team. The energy around this roster feels different — confident, focused, and dangerous.

Playoff Outlook (76%)
Cesar’s odds are improving weekly. A key divisional win could catapult him into the playoff bracket. He’s gone from fringe to firm contention in just two weeks.

#9. AJ Stroud (3–5) — Trending: Steady 

Power Ranking Analysis:
AJ S’s AJ Stroud remains a puzzle. The roster flashes brilliance one week and inconsistency the next. The foundation is solid, but execution and matchup luck have both been obstacles. Still, this is not a team opponents can overlook.

Playoff Outlook (38%)
The uphill battle continues. AJ needs three wins in four weeks to stay alive — possible, but difficult. Every lineup decision from here matters.

#10. Girthquake (3–5) — Trending: Down 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Nick R’s Girthquake can shake up matchups — just not the standings yet. Despite having top-end talent, inconsistency and tough scheduling have stalled the season. The potential remains, but time is running out.

Playoff Outlook (24%)
It’s do-or-die time. Nick must win out to stay relevant. Pulling off back-to-back wins is his only route to resurrecting postseason hopes.

#11. Aztecs (3–5) — Trending: Steady 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Justin R’s Aztecs have been competitive in nearly every matchup but can’t seem to close games. The roster is talented and dangerous, but variance has kept it from finding a rhythm. Still, this group has upset potential written all over it.

Playoff Outlook (33%)
It’s a steep climb to the postseason, but not impossible. The Aztecs will need a flawless November to sneak into the final wildcard. Even if they fall short, they’ll influence the playoff race.

#12. JT’s Dog House (1–7) — Trending: Down 

Power Ranking Analysis:
Last season’s champion has endured a painful regression. JT’s Dog House has battled through injuries, underperformance, and bad luck — the perfect storm. But pride and experience make this team a dangerous spoiler candidate late in the season.

Playoff Outlook (2%)
Mathematically alive but functionally eliminated, Justin’s season now hinges on a miracle. He would need to win out and get help from several managers ahead of him to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in Junkies League history. More realistically, the focus shifts toward damage control — and the next mission at hand: avoiding the LEAGUE PUNISHMENT. Still, don’t expect Justin to go quietly; his roster is strong enough to play spoiler for any team clinging to a playoff spot.

Closing Summary

Week 8 reshaped the landscape of the Junkies League. Horse Meats continue to stand tall, but the middle pack is closing in fast. CEEDEEZ NUTS and Lamar So Serious? are surging, while BigDawgs and Goal Line Gaggers look to steady the ship before the stretch run.

The playoff race from seeds 6–9 still remains a minefield with few team with slim playoff hopes still alive — one misstep could swing the bracket entirely. Momentum, not record alone, will decide the survivors. As Week 9 looms, the path to the Football Junkies Championship is narrowing, and every roster move from here on out could determine who contends and who collapses.
