2023 POWER RANKINGS - Playoffs
Week 14 promised many opportunities for movement amongst our rankings for everyone not named Jets Jets Jets, who were gracious enough to lock up our John Porta Trophy two weeks early.
Alas, the playoff jostling didn’t manifest into a whole lot of changes.
So, rather than give you an essentially-the-same power rankings, I will instead fall into the trap of the 2023 sports world’s trend of Tiers - a tragic phenomenon where sports-wannabes across the country have somehow pawned off tiers to us as something cool, when, in reality, they are way easier to make and far less thought out than full-fledged power rankings. But, apparently, power rankings as an industry were ripe for disruption, and, as the old adage goes: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” (also known as the Kevin Durant Corollary).
I digress.
Without further adieu, here are your very first Elite Fantasy League Tiers: Playoff Edition:
Read ‘em and weep.
