TeamUp Fantasy AUDL Power Rankings (6/24 - 6/30) https://www.teamupfantasy.com/ 1. New York Empire The Empire are still in the number one spot this week. Last weekend they had a game against the Thunderbirds and won easily. They should get another win against the Cannons next week. A real test for the Empire will be in two weeks, when they face the Breeze. 2. Chicago Union Chicago had a great weekend; they beat the Mechanix 30-13 and advanced to 3-0 on the season. Danny Miller played extremely well for them and earned player of the game from the Union. Their next game is against the AlleyCats, who have only beaten the Mechanix this year. 3. DC Breeze The game last weekend for the Breeze was amazing. Their offense and defense both had completion percentages above 90. Young players such as Jacques Nissen and Duncan Fitzgerald stepped up and played well. A.J. Merriman had a huge performance with 3 blocks and 6 scores. They are moving up a spot this week. 4. Raleigh Flyers The Flyers are moving down a spot this week, but that is only because the Breeze played exceptionally well. The Flyers got their first win of the season last weekend and have an easier schedule on the horizon. The next three games they play should be easy wins. 5. Dallas Roughnecks Dallas is staying in the same spot this week. They have only played two games and are currently 1-1. Even though they have only played two games, they did beat a good Aviators team this week. Their defense looked strong and only gave up 12 scores. 6. Atlanta Hustle The Hustle’s hot streak continued last weekend. They managed to beat the Cannons by 11 and moved up two spots in our rankings. The Hustle are currently 3-0 and sit atop the Atlantic division. 7. San Diego Growlers San Diego is staying in the seven spot this week. Their record is currently 3-1 after they beat the Spiders last weekend. They face a talented Roughnecks team this weekend. If they win that game, it will really show what the Growlers are capable of. 8. Minnesota Wind Chill Minnesota is moving up two spots this week. The Wind Chill beat the Radicals by 6 during last weekend’s games. Their offense played safe and only hucked when it was open, limiting their turnovers and tiring out the Radicals’ defense. 9. Boston Glory The Glory may have lost both of their games last week, but as a result of teams’ performances, the Glory find themselves a spot higher in our rankings compared to last week. They did not have Orion Cable or Tanner Johnson when they faced the Breeze, which forced Ben Sadok to try to carry their offense. He seemed like he was everywhere on the field, but the Glory’s defense couldn’t stop the Breeze. 10. Indianapolis AlleyCats The AlleyCats lost last weekend, giving them a 2-2 record on the year. This is the reason they are moving down a few spots. Their only wins have come against the Mechanix. Until they show they can beat a decent team, they are only going to move further down in our rankings. 11. Austin Sol The Sol are currently 2-0 and are hot, moving them up another spot this week. The first game they had against the Roughnecks shocked everyone and they kept their momentum into this week to beat the Aviators. They have two games this weekend, which gives them a chance to be 4-0 to start the season. 12. Los Angeles Aviators The Aviators struggled this past weekend, dropping two games, one against the Roughnecks and one against the Sol. This caused them to drop down to the twelfth spot in our rankings. Next weekend they face the Roughnecks - who beat them by nine last week - once again. 13. Philadelphia Phoenix Philly remains in the same place in our rankings this week. They are currently 2-0 but have not faced any tough competition yet; their two games were both against the Cannons. This upcoming weekend will be a challenge, as they face the Flyers and Hustle. 14. Madison Radicals The Radicals are currently 2-2 and are moving up a spot in our rankings. They did lose last weekend, but it’s another case of other teams playing worse than them that bumps them up. Next weekend should be much easier because they face the Mechanix. 15. Tampa Bay Cannons Tampa is moving down another spot this week. The Cannons lost a tough one to the Hustle, with the final score being 13-24. Their offense struggled against the Hustle’s defense. Every reset and under required a lot of effort from them to be completed. 16. Seattle Cascades The Cascades will be moving up two spots this week. Last weekend they lost to the Growlers, but they did manage to keep it close, only losing by 2. This makes their record 1-2 and close to the bottom of the West division. 17. San Jose Spiders San Jose is moving up a spot in our rankings this week. They did lose by a good margin to the Growlers, but the Thunderbirds played worse to boost them up a spot. Next weekend, the Spiders have to face a hot Austin Sol team. 18. Pittsburgh Thunderbirds Pittsburgh is really struggling this year. After last year’s performance, it’s a shock they are 0-4. Their defense has struggled to stop people from scoring. With that being said, their offense has not been playing terribly. They should manage to get a win soon. 19. Detroit Mechanix The Mechanix lost yet another game last weekend, dropping their record to 0-4. The Mechanix’s offense has had too many unforced turnovers this year, making it very difficult for them to win games..
