Week 6 Power Rankings

Wow this season is flying by!  We are already through 5 weeks.  This is about the time the men starting separating themselves from the boys.  However, I am sure we will have that late bloomer, who won’t get their first pube until week 9 and somehow make the playoffs.  Here are my week 6 power rankings.  We had a change at the top for the first time this year. 

1. Kristen

Previous (2)

I have no choice but to move this team up to the top.  If you want to beat Kristen it looks like you are going to have to put up 150 points and pray.  I don’t understand how she is doing all this without a QB right now.  Put it on the record, Nicks is a fantasy stud and this team is going to the playoffs.

2. Dan

Previous (1)

Despite losing two games in a row Dan has only moved down one spot.  His team is still one of the top in the league and no one else is really stepping up to the plate.  If Dan has been ignoring my comments about his pressing need for a RB he better start paying attention.  Last week they combined for 9 yards!! Not nine points; nine yards!  That has to be an A-Town fantasy record.

3. Chris

Previous (6)

Chris is 4-1 and I don’t think he even knows how it happened.  No matter what hurdle is put in front of this team, they jump right over it and keep on going.  Hopefully they can keep it up because they are running straight towards the biggest hurdle of the season with Finley out for the year.  If Thomas can come back soon I think this team will just keep on winning.  It is starting to feel like Gropp’s crew is this year’s team of destiny.  (Oh yeah, Chris my parents say thank you for the movie passes they had a great time)

4. Jeff

Previous (8)

Jeff gets this week’s Frontier Airlines flight of the week.  If you have seen my facebook page recently (which I don’t know why you would) you saw that Jeff asked for the move of the week.  That’s not why I am moving him up so high.  He has been a top four team all year and I got a little out of hand last week moving him to number 8.  Jeff’s proven that his fantasy IQ is at an all time high with the acquisitions of Hill and Williams last week.  If Jeff can keep pulling out all the stops and be consistent he will be a serious title contender.

5. Pop

Previous (5)

Pop’s got another win this week to go to 4-1.  That would usually warrant a step up in the power rankings but when you only put up 93 points I just can’t do that.    Pop’s got lucky, he had a bad week and his opponent Logan had a dreadful week.  With Garcon back in Indi it hurts Collie’s production.  The best thing for this team would be to have either Collie or Garcon go down so the other can pick up the slack and be a number one.

6. Clay

Previous (7)

Clay’s team is staying in the hunt as he picked up a victory last week to go to 3-2.  TO is looking like the real deal and Forte has shown what he is capable of.  Clay still needs to find another running back and a flex starter.  He can’t keep getting goose eggs in the flex spot, eventually that will kill him. 

7. Garret

Previous (3)

Garret had a terrible game in week 5 and I am starting to worry about Schaub.  He’s not living up to his early draft position and is killing Garret.  Garret might get Moreno back this week and that should really help with Tolbert’s roll being down sized every week in San Diego.  This team still has a lot of talent but needs to be more consistent.

8. Pat

Previous (4)

Note to PSell: Play Brandon Lloyd!  This team needs to give up on Gonzalez and play Lloyd in the flex spot.  However, this is definitely the scariest 2-3 team in fantasy history.  There’s talent and depth at every position; I expect the wins to start rolling in soon. 

9. Gill

Previous (10)

If you can score more than 120 points you will beat this team every week.  If you don’t score 120 you will probably lose.  It’s that simple.

10. Shawn

Previous (9)

It was nice to see this team finally get production out of Mike Sims-Walker.  I don’t think Shawn is having too much fun this year because he keeps losing  but it’s got to be awesome to watch Gates put up a touchdown every single week.

11. Mike

Previous (11)

Mike had a great week but still got beat because he ran into one of the only two teams that scored more than him.  Mike has had a lot of bad luck so far this year but last week still has to be encouraging.  His team is playing well and will start getting wins sooner than later.

12. Anton

Previous (12)

Anton also had a very nice week but ran into one of the weeks high scores.  The one positive for this team is that Rivers is playing out of his mind and keeps throwing for 400 yards.  One more loss for this team and I will be forced to put them in the cellar. 

13. Alex

Previous (14)

I am starting to think I am not giving this team enough credit.  If they win this week they will be .500.  The thing about this team is that they’re not very exciting.  They will put up decent stats but never anything mind boggling.   

14. Logan

Previous (13)

Logan barely reached the 70 point mark in week 5.  His team just simply isn’t doing anything right now.  It bothers me that someone who cares so much and studies so much can have such a terrible team.  Better luck next year.
