A-Town Week 4 Power Rankings

So first of all I want to apologize about no article last week.  I went to Vegas and well ….. what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.  So this week in the spirit of Vegas along with the usual analysis I am going to do each teams over/under for the season as well as what I say is your odds to win it all.  In the comments let me know who you want action on and maybe I will take it…

1. Anton (4)
Anton makes the jump to number one after two great performances.  Wes Welker put up 60 last week and crushed my dreams of winning a game this year.  If he can get Frank Gore going, this team seems unstoppable.  Ryan Matthews is getting more carries and making the best of them.  Anton does need more consistency out of his flex spot if he wants to stay at the top.
O/U: Anton is already 3-0 so I am saying 10
Odds to win: 3/1

2. Logan (2)
Logan still hasn’t lost and moved down a spot.  I love his team; I am just worried about Foster and the shuffling of TE’s.  When the tough got going in week 3, Logan’s team stepped up and made it happen.  Logan seems like he has a team of destiny and I see him cruising to the playoffs. 
O/U: Logan is 3-0 so I am saying 9
Odds to Win: 17/5

3. Chris (12)
Alright Chris you finally deserve a little love from this article.  Somehow beyond my understanding Chris has been able to predict the future.  Last week he knew Kenny Brit was going to go down for the season so he started Nate Washington who went off.  Tom Brady and McFadden look like the best players at their positions.  Chris has yet to be challenged.
O/U: Chris is 3-0, but I am still saying 8.5 (Yes I know you can’t have 8.5 wins it just means you can’t push)
Odds to Win: 6/1

4. Alex (2)
Alex was cruising until a tough loss to Garret this past week.  He did, however, pull off a nice trade that should bring him some value.  Alex has now put his season into the hands of players he didn’t draft.  Bold strategy, but we will see how it works out for him.  If Alex can stay healthy, he should be a shoe in for the playoffs.
O/U: At 2-1 so far, I am saying 9.  Alex has a history of winning close games
Odds to win: 13/2

5. Jeff (10)
Jeff makes a huge jump on my rankings because of all the controversy he overcame last week to win.  Jeff was having a minor meltdown right before kickoff last week, but pulled it together and put up his best week!  The players who did the worst for Jeff last week he traded away to yours truly this week.  With Calvin and Vincent lining up at WR for Jeff, I don’t see him losing very many games.  It’s worth noting that Calvin has 2 TD catches in all 3 games thus far. 
O/U: At 2-1 I am saying 8.5 because Jeff’s team is on the rise.
Odds to Win: 6/1

6. Mike (5)
Mike had a rough week and blew a great opportunity against an inferior opponent to go 3-0.  The good news is that he’s still 2-1 and in good shape.  I think last week was a fluke; I don’t expect Mike to be under the century mark again this season.  It was nice to see Roddy White show up that has to help Mike breathe a little easier.
O/U: 8
Odds to win: 8/1

7. Pat (3)
Pat Sell has lost two weeks in a row now and isn’t looking so hot.  A lot of his skilled position players aren’t playing up to their talent.  At this point I don’t think it’s time to push the panic button, but a pep talk wouldn’t be the worst idea ever.
O/U: At 1-2 I am saying 7
Odds to win: 11/1

8. Garret (9)
Garret’s team put everything together for a solid victory in week 3.  I like the direction this team is heading with the new acquisition on Julio Jones.  If Garret can get consistency like he did in week 3 his team can be very scary.
O/U: At 1-2 right now I am saying 8
Odds to win: 10/1

9. Dan the Man Schmidt (7)
Dan took a tough loss to Logan in week 3.  This next game will be telling of where Dan’s season is headed.  I think Fitzpatrick is for real, but I am starting to worry about this team’s WR’s.  If Dez can’t stay healthy, Dan may fall off the fantasy map.
O/U: at 1-2 I am saying 6
Odds to win: 18/1

10. Pop (8)
If you look at things right now I like the recent  trade for Pops, but over time I think he’s going to regret making the move.  Rivers is an elite QB and time will show that.  I worry that Pops team will be too inconsistent to make a legitimate run.
O/U: At 1-2 I am saying 7
Odds to win: 16/1

11. Kristen (6)
Kristen got absolutely demolished in week 3 by Chris.  She is going to have to deal with the roller coaster that is Michael Vicks’ health all year.  Also losing Kenny Brit for the season may crush this team’s chances.  He was an elite option and impossible to replace. 
O/U: 1-2 right now so I am saying 5.5
Odds to win: 22/1

12. Devan (13)
Devan did the impossible in week 3 - took out a 2-0 team without scoring 100 points.  As impressive as that is, it’s also very lucky.  The law firm is not producing at RB and Devan has zero depth, so I expect that to be an issue all year long.
O/U: 4
Odds to win: 40/1

13. Gill (14)
My team is weak, very, very weak.  I have no big time players and a small chance to win on a weekly basis.  I tried to mix things up with a blockbuster trade, so maybe that will make a difference.  Only time will tell.
O/U: 3
Odds to win: 80/1

14. Clay (11)
I love Clay and don’t want to rank him last but after going 0-3 and putting up 70 points my hands are tied.  Not much is going Clay’s way right now in terms of fantasy.  It looks like another lost season for Off in The Woods.
O/U: 3
Odds to win: 100/1
