The cut deadline has come and gone, and FantasyPros has given us a fresh look at how the league stacks up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the deadline, Quince Khalifa<\/strong> sat comfortably atop the FantasyPros rankings with a perfect score of 100, while Jaq of All Trades<\/strong> and Even More Quimby<\/strong> rounded out the top three. But once the dust settled and the post-cut rosters were factored in, the rankings changed dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest story? Jaq of All Trades took over the No. 1 spot<\/strong>, while Quince Khalifa dropped all the way to third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how the FantasyPros rankings changed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rankings show just how much the cut deadline changed FantasyPros’ outlook on several teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we’re measuring success strictly by movement in the rankings, Membrillos is one of the biggest winners of the post-cut update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Membrillos jumped from No. 7 to No. 4<\/strong>, a three-spot climb. That’s tied for the largest rise in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even more impressive is the improvement in relative position despite the team’s FantasyPros score actually dropping from 70 to 67<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 \u2014 if the teams around it take bigger hits, it can move up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s exactly what happened here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Membrillos leapfrogged Qui Vir Esne, QOJIRA, and The Mel Gibson Jews<\/strong> to move firmly into the top four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Membrillos wasn’t alone in making a major move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quince United M also climbed three spots<\/strong>, going from No. 9 to No. 6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The difference here is particularly notable because Quince United M actually saw its FantasyPros score increase<\/strong>, from 52 to 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That combination \u2014 a better score and a three-place jump \u2014 makes Quince United M one of the clearest beneficiaries of the post-cut rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The team moved past The Deacons Of Doom, Dutch Masters, and Ten Q Tang<\/strong>, while also closing the gap on the teams near the middle of the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the top of the leaderboard, though, there was a surprising reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quince Khalifa suffered the biggest ranking drop<\/strong>, falling from No. 1 to No. 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a two-position slide \u2014 tied for the largest drop in the league \u2014 but the change in score is even more eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quince Khalifa went from a league-best 100<\/strong> to 77<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a 23-point decline<\/strong>, the largest score drop among all 12 teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest beneficiary of Quince Khalifa’s fall was Jaq of All Trades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaq moved from No. 2 to No. 1<\/strong>, while its FantasyPros score jumped from 97 to a perfect 100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That makes Jaq the only team in the post-cut rankings to receive a perfect FantasyPros score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even More Quimby also made a strong move, climbing from third to second and improving its score from 83 to 91<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, the top of the league went from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quince Khalifa ? Jaq of All Trades ? Even More Quimby<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaq of All Trades ? Even More Quimby ? Quince Khalifa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a significant reshuffling of the championship picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest changes weren’t limited to the top three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FahQ2<\/strong> slipped one spot from fourth to fifth, despite remaining relatively close to the top of the rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qui Vir Esne<\/strong> fell two spots, from fifth to seventh, while QOJIRA<\/strong> dropped from sixth to eighth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Membrillos’ three-spot jump completely changed the complexion of the middle of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is a much tighter cluster from fourth through eighth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a far different picture from the pre-cut rankings, where the same group ranged from 52 to 71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Quince Khalifa had the biggest overall drop in ranking, several teams experienced significant declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Mel Gibson Jews<\/strong> fell from eighth to 10th, with their score dropping from 65 to 35<\/strong> \u2014 a massive 30-point decline and the largest raw score drop in the post-cut rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TEN Q TANG<\/strong> also remained in last place, but its score fell from 41 to just 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dutch Masters held steady at No. 11, although its score dropped from 48 to 33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The post-cut rankings suggest that the deadline created a meaningful separation between teams that FantasyPros viewed favorably and those that took significant hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most notable trends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cut deadline has completely changed the look of the FantasyPros leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaq of All Trades is now the team to beat<\/strong>, with a perfect 100 score and the No. 1 ranking. Even More Quimby<\/strong> has emerged as a serious challenger at No. 2, while former No. 1 Quince Khalifa<\/strong> now has something to prove from the third spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behind them, Membrillos and Quince United M<\/strong> made the biggest upward moves, showing that the middle of the league is far from settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, rankings are only rankings. The real answer will come on the field \u2014 but if FantasyPros is right, the race at the top just got a whole lot more interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cut deadline has come and gone, and FantasyPros has given us a fresh look at how the league stacks up.
