Power Rankings: Week 7

I apologize for the blog drought, but the writings are back on.  We have some new faces at the top of the rankings, while the bottom remains largely the same.  As we near the mid-way point of the season, the playoff picture is beginning to develop.  More on that in a future post.  As for now... power rankings!


1. Seenie J (4-2) [2]

A new #1.  And Jeff did it this week without help from his newly-acquired WRs!  But with Matt Forte putting up solid numbers and Andrew Luck still playing like the best QB in Fantasy right now, Jeff can have a few weeks where his WRs don't show up and still manage to pull out a W.  It also helps that Philly D is playing out of control.


2. Charlotte Hornets (5-1) [5]

Still getting massive help from Philip Rivers and his WRs, Abraham continues to kill it.  Now we see what his team is capable of if his RBs can give him somewhat decent numbers.  He's also somehow managing to play his defenses really well.  PLUS he still has $95 to spend on waivers.  Impressive.


3. Unicorn Burps (4-2) [1]

I was very shocked when I saw David's team put up only 71 points.  Marshawn got stuffed, and negative points from any player never helps.  Not having AardvarkJellyfish Green is going to hurt him for a while, too.  In spite of that, David still has a solid team.  He's patched up his WR spot decently, but will be moving forward without any waiver money to spend.  Interesting.  We'll see how he manages his team from here.


4. Spider Pig (4-2) [7]

Another impressive showing from Luke's team.  He can't expect those numbers from Torrey Smith and Eric Decker every week, but his team is looking better than it did 4 weeks ago.  He did a good job insuring himself with those Minnesota RBs, let's just see if he can get more consistency out of his team and continue starting the right players.


5. Terrific Tortoises (3-3) [4]

David's team pulls it together from last week and puts up more impressive numbers.  Percy Harvin should bounce back, and David should get some easy wins these next two weeks against Aaron and Eric.  His record and points for doesn't necessarily show it, but David's still got a good team.  His bump down in the rankings after a win, however, is due primarily to the rise of Abraham and Luke's teams.


6. DeMarco Da Murrier (3-3) [3]

Yahoo!'s commentary: "Seenie J Throat-Punches DeMarco Da Murrier for Fourth Straight Win."  Harsh.  Her RBs are looking as strong as ever, now with freaking Knowshon out of the Miami backfield, but Stafford and WRs need to step it up.  Sad news about Bictor, but Justina can bounce back.  Maybe.


7. Odoyle rules! (3-3) [6]

A tough loss, but a glimmer of hope that my team is not entirely a flop in spite of my questionable decision-making abilities.


8. I'm Coming Home. (4-2) [8]

Up against a more legitimate opponent, Duke's team falters.  A nice Larry Fitzgerald pickup helped his hurting WR situation, but I'm still not convinced Duke's team is 4-2 great.


9. #myteamSUCKS (2-4) [9]

Eric is being a little dramatic with his team name change, but there is a little bit of truth in it.  He got a favorable matchup playing Aaron this past week, and he even put up a decent number of points with the help of Rodgers, Jordy, and Denver Defense, but his RBs are just not looking good at all.  And there's nothing wrong with that picture - that's some good form right there.


10. TY come again (1-5) [10]

TY wasn't enough for newly-owned Apu's team.  Russell didn't show up, unfortunately, and Apu's RB situation continues to haunt him.


11. The Pain Train (2-4) [11]

Gabs will take all the wins he can get, even if his defense scores more points than both his RBs and his WR3 combined.  A win is a win.  Doesn't mean his team is in that much better shape, though.


12. Chou Chainz (1-5) [12]

Aaron is right.  His team is ugly.  What has this taught us?  Never let Yahoo! autodraft for you in an auction draft.
