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 40 - Week 11
Player Of The Week
Pauly
The Miami Dolphins (Pauly) won the SML Week 11 POTW Award by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs (Spooky) 38-6.
Pauly brings home the Week 11 POTW Award beating down Spooky and his Chiefs 38-6. HB Matt Breida went off on the ground for Pauly with 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. Pauly’s QB Sheldon Tolbert almost finished the day with a perfect passer rating (154.5) while throwing for 139 yard and 2 touchdowns. Spooky isn’t doing well to prove that Raider was a liar throwing for 5 picks with QB Mahomes, but hey, this is Spooky’s second game back so I’m not going to be too rough on the guy.
Congrats Pauly on your second POTW Award of the season!

Season 40: Week 11
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!
*These power rankings were completed before week 12 games were played. I thought about doing just a top five because there are a lot of average seasons right now...
