Hello everyone, last week was a crazy week in fantasy terms as we saw 4 of my top 5 teams go down! I love when teams that seem down and out come back and get into the thick of things. Bye weeks always make for interesting matchups as teams are forced to juggle their lineups and use players off their bench. After 5 weeks, everyone besides yours truly has a realistic chance at the playoffs.
1. Anton (Last Week 1)
If we have learned anything through 5 weeks it’s that Aaron Rogers and Wes Welker are going to carry Anton’s team every week. The only way to stop Anton is to catch him on a week where Welker or Rogers has a bye.
2. Logan (2)
Logan lost in week 2 but gets a free pass because he still put up a respectable 137 points. With the first sighting of Deangelo Williams in Carolina last week, Logan now has a tough decision to make every week regarding his flex. Don’t mess up Logs or it may cost you your #2 ranking…
3. Garret (6)
Garret makes the jump into my top 5 this week with a big win over Jeff. He only put up 114 points, but I could tell Garret willed his team to victory as Best broke that 88 yard TD in the second half of Monday night’s game. Sometimes it’s all about how bad you want it, not how good your team actually is (and by sometimes I mean like maybe 2% of the time. AKA Garrets a Lucky Man).
4. Alex (3)
I should have moved Alex out of the top 10 after he put up an astonishing 86 points. Wes Welker has almost got 86 by himself twice this year, come on Alex. Before you leave a comment, I know that Rice and Jones were on a bye, still 86 man.
5. Mike (7)
Mike, like Garret moves into my top 5 because he wills his team to victories. Mike may not have the most talent in the world, but he’s got heart and cares entirely too much. (Yes, coming from the guy who cares so much he writes a fantasy article that only 5 people read).
6. Kristen (9)
I moved Kristen up because I saw firsthand last week how deadly her team can be. Vick had an awful game where he threw 4 picks, but he still put up 30 fantasy points. That’s ridiculous and with Bowe coming on like he did last year, Kristen’s team is starting to find their mojo.
7. Chris (4)
Chris’s biggest problem right now (well, besides not trading me McGahee) is deciding who to play. Last week he started Moore who had an “o”fer and missed on Floyd who had 22 points. There’s a W out there waiting for Chris every week if he makes the right decisions.
8. Devan (10)
Honestly it blows my mind that Devan is 3-2. On paper, his team just doesn’t measure up. Somehow he is winning and getting stronger week to week. I don’t know what else to say.
9. Jeff (5)
Good week, bad week, good week, bad week. After 5 weeks Jeff’s team hasn’t figured out if there a contender or a pretender. Calvin is still in beast mode, but Hernandez coming back has killed Gronkowski’s value.
10. Pop (8)
I never know what to say about Pop’s team. Cam Newton is really good I guess…
11. Pat (11)
Pat Sell got back in the Win column last week. I like the Moreno pick up, even though it was obvious and what Garcon is doing right now is incredible. I mean the guy was irrelevant for the first three weeks and has been the top WR last 2, go figure.
12. Clay (13)
Clay put up 105 points and won. Lucky guy and yes I am upset he beat me for last team to win.
13. Dan (12)
Good thing Dan has other exciting things going on in his life because his fantasy team is not.
14. Gill (14)
For anyone who got this far in the article, first I want to thank you and second I want you to know I have had the most fantasy points against and that is my only defense as to why I still haven’t won.
