A-Town Week 5 Power Rankings

Hello again everyone! We are a third of the way through our season.  We experienced our first week of byes and this week there are a lot of injuries that teams have to deal with.  Three of my top four teams lost last week so I had to make some adjustments this week.

1. Dan

Previous (1)

Dan’s bid for an undefeated season was crushed last week by Pop.  The reason I am leaving Dan at 1 is because everyone is entitled to at least one bad week.  Also Dan’s team was the most affected by the NFL trades this past week.  With Moss gone in New England, Welker should put up even better stats and with Lynch gone in Buffalo, it opens up the door for Spiller to be Dan’s number two back. 

2. Kristen

Previous (5)

Fantasy football is unpredictable.  Kristen started out ranked 11^th in my power rankings and now after four weeks she is on fire and challenging for my number one spot.  It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers this team puts up with Vick on the shelf for a few weeks.  However, she did post the high week last week with Vick putting up 4 points.

3. Garret

Previous (3)

Garret got a good win in week four over a tough opponent in Jeff.  Mike Tolbert is keeping this team playing at an elite level while Bush and Moreno are sidelined.  Garret is on a role and I don’t see him slowing down anytime soon.

4. Pat

Previous (2)

Pat lost in week four but make no mistake this team is loaded with talent and depth and should scare their opponent every week.  McFadden might be out a few weeks but Barber is coming off a bye and should step in nicely.  Foster has been the best back in the league this far and shows no sign of slowing down.  When Colston gets going this team could become my number one team.

5. Pop

Previous (8)

Anytime you manhandle the number one team in the league you are going to move up.  Pops team looked bad at the beginning of the year but has found their groove.  All Pops players are playing at a high level and are putting fear into a lot of teams.  Watch out for this team come December……

6. Chris

Previous (6)

Chris has been in three straight nail biters.  So far he has had the most luck of any team.  When Randy Moss puts up an offer for you to pull out the win you know the fantasy gods are looking over you.  With AP’s bye already gone and if Thomas can get healthy this team could creep up into the top 5. 

7. Clay

Previous (7)

Over all the years we have been playing together it seems that Clay always has the guys who go off.  Reggie Wayne caught 15 balls last week!  Clay’s team isn’t the most consistent team in the world but once in a while they can put up a huge number.  You can never feel too comfortable when you’re playing this team. 

8. Jeff

Previous (4)

This is Jeff’s lowest ranking this year and well deserved after failing to get over the century mark two weeks in a row.  The WR’s on this team aren’t producing and Chris Johnson isn’t living up to all the hype.  It’s hard to believe this team had so much promise just two weeks ago and is now on the verge of a three game losing streak. 

9. Shawn

Previous (11)

Shawn finally got his first win of the season last week.  He did it in grand fashion by putting up 145 points.  I know this team is much better than 1-3 and I expect them to show it in the coming weeks.   Look out if you play “Catch Me If You Can” anytime soon.

10. Gill

Previous (10)

Gill got lucky in week 4 winning despite only putting up 107 points.  This team still has too many injuries and question marks to be taken seriously despite their 3-1 record. 

11. Mike

Previous (12)

Even though Mike lost last week he has some momentum heading into week 5.  Lynch should be a big time producer in Seattle as he is expected to get the starting roll.  The rumor is that Mike is trying to make a huge trade involving all world receiver Larry Fitzgerald.  We will see if Mike can make a deal happen and get his team some depth.

12. Anton

Previous (13)

All Randy Moss needed for Anton to win last week was 7 points.  He should have been able to do that in his sleep but he put up a fat zero.  So far that’s the story of this team’s season as Anton has yet to win a game despite being very competitive.  I hope this team can turn things around soon.

13. Logan

Previous (9)

Right now Logan’s team stinks.  MJD finally had a good week but no one else showed up.  The Steve Smith injury may cripple this team.  Logan just made a trade for a RB giving up Harvin because he had WR depth and now he is in dire need of help at both positions. 

14. Alex

Previous (14)

We pretty much all but penciled in the W for Alex last week.  Good thing we didn’t because Alex had a terrible week only putting up 71 points.  Right now this team shouldn’t scare anybody.  Although Alex did start a very nice blog that everyone should check out.
