Power Rankings - Week 6
[Previous Rank in brackets]
(5-0, 639.30 pts) [2] - A clearly dominant showing this week puts Justina atop the power rankings. Note she had Ray Rice on the bench this week, too. Yes, Janikowski got 20 points, but even without those points, she would have dominated. Still somewhat weak at the QB position, which is her biggest missing piece. But she's riding the undefeated wave and I'm sure she's enjoying it. Along with Jerome Simpson and his 7 pounds of marijuana.
(4-1, 609.86 pts) [1] - Tom Brady and co. don't do so hot in fantasy this week, and Jeff's team shows that it is beatable on the right week. I'm surprised that even though Peterson had a monster week, Jeff still couldn't pull out a victory. He still put up respectable numbers, but there are holes in his armor now.
(3-2, 557.46 pts) [6] - David makes a statement this week, and the consistency of his team has been more and more impressive. Chris Johnson is starting to show up, and he's also getting good supporting help from his other players (Brees is of notable mention). Is his team a clear-cut #3? That's debatable. But due to a lack of a better candidate, David kind of gets pushed up here almost by default.
(2-3, 528.94 pts) [5] - Similar story to last week - good overall numbers, but weak RBs, hence not enough punch. Vick and Luke's WRs are impressive, but Luke's RB situation is no good. DeAngelo had a good showing this week (riding Luke's bench), but don't expect him getting those numbers each week. Don't expect any of Luke's RBs to get any numbers each week. Have we beaten this dead horse enough?
(2-3, 524.90 pts) [4] - David put up very respectable numbers this week, but was up against a tough opponent, and unfortunately lost. He's got the manpower and potential to make some noise - his WRs have been doing well (especially with the addition of Nicks), he's got good RBs, but he might want to work his trading magic to upgrade his QB. I'm confused as to why he's not putting up bigger numbers, but it is what it is.
(2-3, 513.54 pts) [3] - Wow, what an embarrassment. I almost pulled a win out of my butt. Literally. And I kind of wish I did, but that's life. Huge holes in my WR corps (that's what happens when you rely on backups who are patchwork fill-ins for true starters) show glaringly through and bumps my team way down on the rankings. Now's what I call a waiver wire scramble and hope for the best. Unless someone wants to give me, say.. Mike Wallace for.. John Kasay?
(3-2, 497.56 pts) [8] - Nice win, nice showing. Although he's put up good numbers the last two weeks, he doesn't get bumped up much more, because I'm not sold on all of his players (example: Victor Cruz). Aaron Rodgers and Fred Jackson have so far proved to be valuable acquisitions, but that's about the extent of his team's threat-level. The rest of his team doesn't pack much of a punch and isn't scary. Yet. His WRs have the potential to blow up any week like Cruz did, but I see them more of one-week wonders than consistent producers. If he can put up another solid showing, I'll give his team the respect it deserves.
(2-3, 489.94 pts) [9] - Eric pulls out a big upset victory this week. His team is starting to put their act together, but I don't think it's enough to perform consistently. WR2 and WR3 spots are still weak, and even his QB is not performing like a top-5 QB (as he was supposed to). Give us a few more weeks like this one, and you'll be where John Kasay is pointing. I've used that 2 weeks in a row, that doesn't constitute lameness yet, right?
(1-4, 473.74 pts) [7] - Painter surprises with nice stats, albeit against a terrible KC team, Shonn Greene performs as people were hoping he would, but the other holes in Gabs's team are too big to overlook. Branch's performance has been splotchy, and the rest of the WRs are hurting (especially without Andre Johnson). McFadden had an off week, so expect Gabs to rebound. But until then..
(1-4, 422.98 pts) [10] - I was actually pretty stressed out about fantasy football this weekend because of how dismally my team did. I was certain Laura was going to beat me. And then she didn't. And then she did. In spite of the win, I can't justify taking Laura out of her 10 spot. I had to score 72.36 in order for her to beat me. At least Eli is starting to look good! She had decent production from her RBs, too. Just no WR power. Seems to be a trend.
