SML Week 11 Player Of The Week & Power Rankings
The goal is simple. We want to recognize a player of the week each week of the regular season. Everyone always gives praise to the players who are dominating the league with their offensive skills, however we want to give praise to those who dominate the league on defense. Player Of The Week (POTW) is a defensive award. Each week DW will be handing out a POTW Award to the squad/team who allows the fewest points scored on defense against them. Simple right? Shut down your opponent for the week and receive praise from your peers while being honored for your stellar defense with an award. This award will be delivered weekly by Deathwish (DW).
***If there is a tie for the fewest points allowed by a team for the week, the first tiebreaker will be chosen by the team with the largest winning margin over their opponent. If a second tiebreaker is needed the award will go to the team that allowed the fewest total yards on defense.
Season 39 - Week 11
Player Of The Week
Prime
The Indianapolis Colts (Prime) won the SML Week 11 POTW Award by defeating the Houston Texans (Oktoba) 31-6.
What a difference one week makes. Last week Prime was giving up the POTW, this week he dominated Oktoba to bring the award home. In a blowout, Prime defeated Oktoba 31-6. A game in which Oktoba had 6 turnovers all being picks by QB Sam Darnold. One key thing to note, Marlon Mack only averaged 3.8 yards per carry on the ground for Prime after Jonathan Taylor was injured in the game. Taylor is out for a minimum of 10 weeks for Prime, let’s hope Mack knocks the dust off and performs better next week.
Congrats Prime on your first POTW Award of the season!

Week 11 Power Rankings:
Below I have my Prime-Time000 power rankings. The criteria used to create these rankings are as followed: What is your historical success in the SML? Have you had an extended history of winning or just short term success? If you have multiple winning seasons, you’re more likely to have some leeway - that said, if you lose a lot historically, you’re going to have to prove to me that you’re legit!!! I will also consider: How are you doing right now? Have you had any signature wins? How about signature losses? Let's take a look!
