Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of A-Town Fantasy Football Power Rankings. Last week started out slow as the morning games were uneventful in the first half, but boy did things heat up! I like the way the league is shaking up so far as we have two teams still undefeated and two teams still defeated with everyone else sandwiched in between. For this week’s theme, I am going to compare your team to an NFL team. Good luck to everybody in week 5 and enjoy.
1. Anton 4-0 (Last Week 1)
Right now Anton’s team is clicking on all cylinders and reminds me of the Saints. The Saints put up a lot of points and are solid across the board. They are in the hunt every week for the most points just like Anton’s team. I don’t expect Anton to slow down anytime soon and be a staple in my top 3.
2. Logan 4-0 (2)
So far Logan’s team has been exactly as advertised, that’s why he reminds me of the Patriots. Everyone is shocked when the Pats lose just like I would be shocked if Logan loses this year. Every week someone plays Logan is like their Super Bowl right now. With Foster back, Logan has to be breathing a sigh of relief and pumped he didn’t make that trade with Alex for Ben Tate. I personally can’t wait until week 11 when Logan will get his shot at Anton. Mark that one down on your calendars.
3. Alex 3-1 (4)
Alright so I know its cliché and obvious, but I am going with the Packers for Alex. They are both defending champs and looking virtually unstoppable this year. Alex limped into the playoffs last year and made a remarkable run. He could have been satisfied with that, but he came out and had a great draft and made the most impactful trade of the season. Every team in the NFL knows when they are playing the Packers and every team in our league should know where Alex is on their schedule.
4. Chris 3-1 (3)
I want everyone to know I am not the only one who expected Chris’ team to suck this year. So far he has proved all of us wrong and reminds me of the Titans. The Titans were supposed to be the bottom feeders of the AFC South, but find themselves tied for first. The Titans and Chris come out every week and give their opponent their best shot and don’t make crucial mistakes. I am interested to see which direction Chris’ team will take after suffering their first loss.
5. Jeff 2-2 (5)
Like the Steelers, Jeff is well informed, passionate and loyal to his team. You know he is going to bring it on a weekly basis. Calvin Johnson has been the MVP so far this year and is carrying Jeff’s team out of the gate. However, if he falters at all Jeff could be in a lot of trouble. The Steelers are 2-2, but is anyone really worried about them not making the playoffs? Exactly. I expect Jeff to cruise to the playoffs as well.
6. Garret 2-2 (8)
Garret got a big win last week putting up 145 pts. against Dan. However, I still feel Garret is over rated and getting credit due to his extensive fantasy knowledge and not his actual team. That’s why I am comparing his team to the Cowboys. The Cowboys are 2-2 and everyone thinks they have a bunch of talent because they are America’s team, but in reality there just not that good. Maybe Garret will prove me wrong…
7. Mike 2-2 (6)
Mike is the underdog in a lot of matchups, but is almost always in the hunt for the playoffs. He somehow competes on a weekly basis when his players underperform, which reminds me of the 49ers. The 49ers seem like they’re not a good team, but they’re 3-1 and always in the game. Mike has always had lot of fantasy luck which makes him dangerous any given week.
8. Pop 2-2 (10)
While looking at Pop’s team his photo jumped out of me and boom it hit me, he’s just like the Bears. There a solid team with no real superstars, just guys that grind it out and get it done about 65% of the time. Pop’s team is full of fantasy grinders that are consistent. In fantasy, consistency is the name of the game and if you can achieve that you always have a chance.
9. Kristen 2-2 (11)
Kristen isn’t exactly lighting it up, but she’s keeping herself in a position to strike at any time. That reminds me of the Buccaneers. They’re quietly 3-1 and putting themselves in an ideal situation to stun some people in the NFC South. Kristen just needs to hang in there until Vick gets his mojo back and starts putting up 50 pts a week.
10. Devan 2-2 (10)
I feel like the comparison of Devan to the Raiders is the most obvious one. They both have made very questionable moves (Hayward-Bay in the 1st Round of the 2010 NFL draft, Picking the Steelers D in the 5th). However, some of the crazy moves have paid off and both teams are still in the hunt. The Raiders aren’t a team you can just look over on your schedule anymore and at 2-2 neither is Devan.
11. Pat 1-3 (7)
Since joining our league Pat Sell has been a contender and a force to be reckoned with. However, after four tough weeks this year, Pat Sell has faded out of fantasy relevance, much like the Minnesota Vikings. They have both showed signs of life every week, but just can’t seem to get back to their winning ways of the past. The Vikes have AP and Pat has Brees so anything is possible, the season is after all only a quarter of the way done.
12. Dan 1-3 (9)
Big Popa Dan has a winning reputation and a lot of expectations this season much like the Eagles of Philadelphia. So far both teams have failed to live up to expectations. I am not sure it’s time to push the panic button just yet for these teams, but it’s getting pretty darn close.
13. Clay 0-4 (14)
Although they are 0-4 Clay is going to love that I am comparing his team to the Rams. After a decent year last year the Rams have been disappointing this year and don’t seem to have much life. I could feel the life being sucked out of Clay’s team when Johnson went down last week. It was the knockout punch on a team that has been staggering since week 1.
14. Gill 0-4 (13)
I am starting to get worried I am not going to win a game. I have the worst coach rating and am still stuck on losing Jamal Charles. In a lot of ways my team is like the Colts. I lost my best player who held my team together and was the face of my franchise. I am officially the leader in the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes!
This is my favorite one so far Patty! I knew you were going to say you were the Colts :)
