Happy Halloween Survivor League! Seems only fitting that a Ghost team rule the day right? Welp, below are the new rankings. FYI-I'll try to do these every two weeks...or conveniently based on whenever I'm on a run or have the best record (Commish Perks).

Rankings:
Rank) Team name (Record), Avg (Last rank) (GM)
1) Ghostown DJs (4-1), 305.9 (LR = 1) (Shawn) - Soooo, is it me or should Shawn pay less attention during the draft than he usually does? I mean, with these results, it's clear he's been doing it wrong for years.

2) Washington DC Brunchers (4-1), 286.5 (LR = 2) (Basa) - Giannis was clearly the #1 pick this year. If Basa had one other competent G...Yikes. Even still he has the highest scoring game this season (351). Jonas coming back would be a boost.

3) Englewood GunViolence (3-2), 287.6 (LR = 10) (DVS) - It's like the rook had cheat codes to this league. Getting great starts from Aldridge (sans Kawhi), Collison (who knew?) and Harris (regressing to the mean a bit) was a boon. Johnson and Simmons have been keen peep selections. We haven't even talked about AD, George, CJ and E-Bled. Kid will be a problem if he figures out lineups (lol @ his)

4) Gonzo's Ghoulies (3-2), 285.8 (LR = 9) (Cgonz00cc) - Two rookies in the top 4. What happened to this league? At least Cgonz's team name works for a top 4 "Ghosts and Ghoulies" bit. Can the positive upswings on his team (The Black German, Skal and Len) sustain a full season?

5) Oakland Cardpullers (3-2), 280.3 (LR = 14) (Mr. Hood) - What impresses me most about this team is Booker and Tatum. I expected one to get better as the season went on but the other, I didn't think he'd develop like this (dude is averaging 6rebs, almost 5ast and a steal).

6) L.A. Oatmeal Faces (4-1), 251.5 (LR = 7) (RBO) - Opponents are scoring 241 a game against RBO's team (lowest in the league). Let that sink in.

7) Tribeca HiBrows (3-2), 267.5 (LR = 6) (Ern) - Ed Davis? Really? Wow. But since hanging 341 on my team opening night, the defending champ hasn't cracked 290. He ain't a Keebler but Ern's still missing his Elf treats.

8) Chi.ESL Markrakanens (2-3), 282.7 (LR = 4) (Commish) - The core is there. The tweaks are tweaking. And Batum is coming back soon enough. Slim Cuz is ballin' and that 4th highest opponent avg (281.9) won't be that high forever.

9) Northeast DC Trade Guerillas (3-2), 257.4 (LR = 12) (Magilla) - Dwight is having a resurgence in CHA, Milsap is finding it hard to fit in with the Nuggets. The Trade Guerillas might need to dangle Steven Adams to balance out that patchwork roster.

10) Ozarks GOBs (2-3), 266.8 (LR = 13) (Ceej) - I have no idea why Spencer Dinwiddle is buried on this guys bench. Oh and Otto Porter is a beast.

11) Virgin Island Presidents (2-3), 260.7 (LR = 16) (Theo) - So Ben Simmons is a first round pick from now on right? I thought theo reached a round or two too early but I was wrong. Now I daydream about if I took Ben instead of Jordan in round 3. I still could have gotten Steven Adams and Zaza later. Dreams. Oh and theo will be a playoff team when IT returns but that's about it for his long term prospects.

12) Waiters Isle Rappity Raps (3-2), 246.8 (LR = 8) (DJR) - #12, right where a rook should be. If Myles Turner's one played game this year is any indication, it'll get better for the rook. But I doubt it.

13) Stanley Forms a Wall (1-4), 262.8 (LR = 15) (Boogs) - Nurkic and Butler are underachieving so far but Gordon and Fornier are balancing that out. So this team is right where it should be. Now if the former guys turn things around, it could get interesting.

14) Chino Hills Big Ballers (1-4), 250.4 (LR = 3) (Ryan) - Ryan's team should be better than 250fppg. Not sure why it isn't. But for sh*ts and giggles, he should trade me Lauri and Boogs should trade him Ball so that our team names have more context.

15) Coney Island Bad Boys VIII (1-4), 223.1 (LR = 5) (Deputy Commish) - 223 sans CP3 is probably 265-270 with CP3 right now. That would at least make the Deputy Commish respectable.

16) Restown Smerf City Slamz (1-4), 210.8 (LR = 11) (Smerf) - R.I.P. 2017-2018 Smerf City Slamz. Smerf, you still have to pay though!
