The cut deadline has come and gone, and FantasyPros has given us a fresh look at how the league stacks up.
Before the deadline, Quince Khalifa sat comfortably atop the FantasyPros rankings with a perfect score of 100, while Jaq of All Trades and Even More Quimby rounded out the top three. But once the dust settled and the post-cut rosters were factored in, the rankings changed dramatically.
The biggest story? Jaq of All Trades took over the No. 1 spot, while Quince Khalifa dropped all the way to third.
And that’s just the beginning.
The Before-and-After
Here’s how the FantasyPros rankings changed:
| Team | Pre-Cut | Post-Cut | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaq of All Trades | 2 | 1 | U 1 |
| Even More Quimby | 3 | 2 | U 1 |
| Quince Khalifa | 1 | 3 | D 2 |
| Membrillos | 7 | 4 | U 3 |
| FahQ2 | 4 | 5 | D 1 |
| Quince United M | 9 | 6 | U 3 |
| Qui Vir Esne | 5 | 7 | D 2 |
| QOJIRA | 6 | 8 | D 2 |
| The Deacons Of Doom | 10 | 9 | U 1 |
| The Mel Gibson Jews | 8 | 10 | D 2 |
| Dutch Masters | 11 | 11 | — |
| Ten Q Tang | 12 | 12 | — |
The rankings show just how much the cut deadline changed FantasyPros’ outlook on several teams.
Biggest Winner: Membrillos
If we’re measuring success strictly by movement in the rankings, Membrillos is one of the biggest winners of the post-cut update.
Membrillos jumped from No. 7 to No. 4, a three-spot climb. That’s tied for the largest rise in the league.
Even more impressive is the improvement in relative position despite the team’s FantasyPros score actually dropping from 70 to 67.
That might sound strange at first, but it’s an important reminder that FantasyPros rankings are relative. A team doesn’t necessarily need to improve its own score to climb the rankings — if the teams around it take bigger hits, it can move up.
And that’s exactly what happened here.
Membrillos leapfrogged Qui Vir Esne, QOJIRA, and The Mel Gibson Jews to move firmly into the top four.
Biggest Movers: Quince United M Joins Membrillos
Membrillos wasn’t alone in making a major move.
Quince United M also climbed three spots, going from No. 9 to No. 6.
The difference here is particularly notable because Quince United M actually saw its FantasyPros score increase, from 52 to 55.
That combination — a better score and a three-place jump — makes Quince United M one of the clearest beneficiaries of the post-cut rankings.
The team moved past The Deacons Of Doom, Dutch Masters, and Ten Q Tang, while also closing the gap on the teams near the middle of the standings.
Biggest Fall: Quince Khalifa
At the top of the leaderboard, though, there was a surprising reversal.
Quince Khalifa suffered the biggest ranking drop, falling from No. 1 to No. 3.
That’s a two-position slide — tied for the largest drop in the league — but the change in score is even more eye-catching.
Quince Khalifa went from a league-best 100 to 77.
That’s a 23-point decline, the largest score drop among all 12 teams.
After looking like the clear FantasyPros favorite before the deadline, Quince Khalifa is now chasing two teams: Jaq of All Trades and Even More Quimby.
Still, a No. 3 ranking and a score of 77 is hardly a disaster. The team remains firmly in the championship conversation. But the post-cut update suggests that the gap between Quince Khalifa and the rest of the contenders is no longer what it appeared to be before the deadline.
Jaq of All Trades Takes the Throne
The biggest beneficiary of Quince Khalifa’s fall was Jaq of All Trades.
Jaq moved from No. 2 to No. 1, while its FantasyPros score jumped from 97 to a perfect 100.
That makes Jaq the only team in the post-cut rankings to receive a perfect FantasyPros score.
Even More Quimby also made a strong move, climbing from third to second and improving its score from 83 to 91.
In other words, the top of the league went from:
Quince Khalifa ? Jaq of All Trades ? Even More Quimby
to:
Jaq of All Trades ? Even More Quimby ? Quince Khalifa
That’s a significant reshuffling of the championship picture.
The Middle of the Pack Gets Interesting
The biggest changes weren’t limited to the top three.
FahQ2 slipped one spot from fourth to fifth, despite remaining relatively close to the top of the rankings.
Qui Vir Esne fell two spots, from fifth to seventh, while QOJIRA dropped from sixth to eighth.
Meanwhile, Membrillos’ three-spot jump completely changed the complexion of the middle of the table.
The result is a much tighter cluster from fourth through eighth:
- Membrillos — 67
- FahQ2 — 57
- Quince United M — 55
- Qui Vir Esne — 55
- QOJIRA — 51
That’s a far different picture from the pre-cut rankings, where the same group ranged from 52 to 71.
The Biggest Losers
While Quince Khalifa had the biggest overall drop in ranking, several teams experienced significant declines.
The Mel Gibson Jews fell from eighth to 10th, with their score dropping from 65 to 35 — a massive 30-point decline and the largest raw score drop in the post-cut rankings.
That’s an especially notable change because the team entered the cut deadline ranked ahead of Quince United M, The Deacons Of Doom, Dutch Masters, and Ten Q Tang. After the update, it sits 10th.
TEN Q TANG also remained in last place, but its score fell from 41 to just 24.
Dutch Masters held steady at No. 11, although its score dropped from 48 to 33.
What Changed?
The post-cut rankings suggest that the deadline created a meaningful separation between teams that FantasyPros viewed favorably and those that took significant hits.
The most notable trends:
- Jaq of All Trades strengthened its position and moved into No. 1.
- Even More Quimby made a major leap in projected strength, moving to No. 2.
- Quince Khalifa lost its grip on the top spot.
- Membrillos and Quince United M were the biggest ranking climbers, each moving up three spots.
- The Mel Gibson Jews suffered the biggest score decline.
- Ten Q Tang remained at the bottom despite the rankings around it shifting.
Final Takeaway
The cut deadline has completely changed the look of the FantasyPros leaderboard.
Jaq of All Trades is now the team to beat, with a perfect 100 score and the No. 1 ranking. Even More Quimby has emerged as a serious challenger at No. 2, while former No. 1 Quince Khalifa now has something to prove from the third spot.
Behind them, Membrillos and Quince United M made the biggest upward moves, showing that the middle of the league is far from settled.
And that’s perhaps the biggest takeaway from the post-cut rankings: the FantasyPros model sees a much different league than it did before the deadline.
Of course, rankings are only rankings. The real answer will come on the field — but if FantasyPros is right, the race at the top just got a whole lot more interesting.
