Hello Everyone! This week I am on location in Greeley for the Thursday night game between the Ravens and Falcons. Make sure to get your lineups set if you plan on playing anybody in tonight’s game. I can’t believe we only have four weeks left. There is still so much to be decided. By my calculation every team but one is still mathematically in the hunt for one of the six playoff spots. It’s awesome that everyone is taking fantasy so seriously this year. We had 20 transactions on the waiver wire last night! Keep up the good work and good luck to everyone this week.
1. Pat
Previous (1)
Pat is human after all. He didn’t get the high week this week, but still took down perennial power and league commissioner Dan. Pat’s toughest test the rest of the year will come this week with the Saints bye. Pat is forced to start Mark Sanchez and Anthony Armstrong. It will be a tough week for Pat, but I love Foster and MJD’s matchups. If Pat can pull it out this week, look for him to get a first round bye come playoff time.
2. Chris
Previous (2)
Chris did what he does again in week 9. His team plays mediocre and then pulls it out in a nail biter on Monday night. Chris always seems to get those tough points late in games, whether it’s a last second TD or a catch that puts a receiver over the century mark to get the yardage bonus. Right now Chris is finding every way to win fantasy games and is a league leading 8-1.
3. Logan
Previous (5)
Logan’s fantasy luck continued in week 9. He had a below average week but still got the W because Alex had seven players with under ten points. Everything is going Logan’s way right now. Everyone wanted to play Pat in week ten and guess who the lucky team is? Yep, it’s Logan’s. Logan is in my top three because I truly believe the fantasy gods are looking out for him right now.
4. Dan
Previous (3)
Dan has struggled of late. Still his team is too good to stop believing in. If you’re a QB for Dan, I would be scared to death of a shoulder injury. Romo went down a few weeks ago and last week Stafford went down. Dan has resorted to the well traveled Shaun Hill as his QB for week ten. Hill should produce enough to keep Dan competitive. This team is one loss away from panicking, so it will be interesting to see how they perform this week.
5. Garret
Previous (4)
Garret should thank me for only dropping him one point after his dismal performance last week. The whopping 64.26 points he put up last week is an A-Town low this year. In his defense he was without four of his studs. However, Garret needs to start playing like a top 5 team or he is going to be the odd man out come December.
6. Pop
Previous (7)
Despite not having the second best team in the league, Pop is tied for the second best record in the league at 6-3. His team is a lot like Chris’ team, in that he finds a way to win week in and week out despite having very little talent. Pop has proved me wrong all year, but I am still not buying into this team being one of the league’s elite.
7. Jeff
Previous (10)
Jeff let me know verbally and on the field that he shouldn’t have been ranked ten last week. Boy was he right. Jeff went off last week and put up the second highest point total. Jeff has made some great last minute pickups this year that have kept him very competitive. The real question is: can this team find that consistency it takes to win week in and week out in this league?
8. Mike
Previous (12)
Congratulations Mike! You got the high week last week, cracked my top 10 for the first time all year and take this week’s Frontier Airlines Flight of the Week. Mike’s team is clicking on all cylinders right now. Mike’s team is a top 5 scoring team, but has a bottom 3 record. Needless to say, this team has run into some bad luck this year, but I think things are about to change. Look out for STIFFD.
9. Alex
Previous (6)
Just when we thought Alex was taking the next step he reminded us why his team name is Team Shit Show. Alex’s performance last week was pathetic. Having seven players score under ten points is never a good thing. I am interested to see if last week is what we can expect the rest of the year from this team or will they turn it around and make a real run at the playoffs?
10. Kristen
Previous (9)
Kristen put up another solid outing in week 9, but fell victim to the high week. Her team is like the starter in baseball that always gets a quality start, but can never win in the late innings. On a positive note, Vick looked great coming off the concussion and Rice had one of his best games of the season. Although there’s still four weeks left, this week is a must win for Kristen.
11. Clay
Previous (8)
Clay’s team really goes as Payton Manning goes. If Manning throws for 300 and 3 TD’s then Clay wins, if he doesn’t then Clay loses. The rest of Off in the Woods is very average. They won’t put up goose eggs, but they won’t go off either. That is with the exception of Terrell Owens, who is having a great comeback year.
12. Shawn
Previous (13)
Shawn got a win last week, but only put up 85 points. He just can’t seem to get it going. Ronnie Brown finally got in the end zone, but was on the bench. Shawn needs to chalk this season up as a bust and look to next year.
13. Gill
Previous (11)
Gill was Chris’ latest victim in week 9 losing by 8 points on Monday night. Miles Austin is officially the most inconsistent and annoying player in the league. He has four games of over 100 yards receiving and four games of fewer than 40 years receiving. Gill is without a second running back and now a flex player. It’s tough to compete when you’re really only playing seven players a week.
14. Anton
Previous (14)
I really thought Anton was going to win last week. He was up 62 points and all Pop had left was the Packers D and Aaron Rodgers. And wouldn’t you know it, the Packers D returned two picks for TD’s and put up an astonishing 34 points! Rodgers had three for three TD’s and put up 33 points. In the end Anton lost by four points and moved to 0-9. If you can’t win when you’re up by 62, I don’t know how this team is ever going to win.
