After week 3 these power rankings will no longer be done by my opinion but instead by a mathematical equation on this website...but until then its my opinion. I've taken into account the win or loss the team suffered the amount of points and of course still how good I think the team is.
The biggest riser in the rankings was Average Joes who after beating a very good Panther team jumped from 12th to 6th. The biggest faller was Weiner Dogz dropping 5 spots from 7th to 12th.
1. Kings 0-0-1 Last Week VS C.Falcons T 97-97 This Week VS Mountaineers Prv. #2
The Kings team had studs at every position but Quarterback and Tightend and their tie with the 2 time defending champs even with Forte's clunker cemented their spot as a contender this year as well as the number 1 team in the rankings this week. Playing the Mountaineers this week don't look for them to give it up in week 2.
2. Carolina Falcons 0-0-1 Last Week VS Kings T 97-97 This Week VS Weiner Dogz Prv. #3
The 2 time defending champs looked good in their week 1 tie but may have some serious competition for the division with the Kings, but regardless that's not a bad way to start their title defense considering they were without starters Boldin and Lynch. Look for the Carolina Falcons to occupy a spot in the top 5 throughout the year and with a cakewalk game against the Weiner Dogz coming up next week they should be right here again in week 2.
3. Panthers 0-1 Last Week VS A.Joes L 103-101 This Week VS Rayz Prv. #5
This team is truly a contender this year as you saw a strong and balanced point out put from every position. Even though they took the loss that should be one of a few that they will fall to this year. This week they take on the luck of the Rayz who do not have a strong line up but won off a miracle defense last week they should have no problem taking care of business.
4. Unbeaten Gators 0-1 Last Week VS Rayz L 87-80 This Week VS A.Joes Prv. #1
The preseason favorite got beat by a bizzar Eagles D putting up 33 points so they should've won that game. That being said the Unbeaten Gators have the number one player in all of fantasy in Adrian Peterson and a great stable of runningbacks but if the receivers are this bad every week its gonna be hard for them to get in that one spot again let alone compete for a championship. The U.Gators are giving this same line up another week to prove itself at receiver but if they don't make some strides look for the U.Gators to be serious on the trade market. This week barring a huge Brees game again they should get a win but they'll be paying more attention to the receiver play.
5. Heels 1-0 Last Week VS Purple Cobras W 95-60 This Week VS Ducks Prv. #9
I think you'll see the 5-9 range of these rankings fluctuate a lot during this year as none of them look top notch and its tough to determine which ones are playoff contenders and pretenders. Now saying that the Heels did look the best week 1 and look the best on paper with a newly committed owner in Will Essick this team could surprise and be playoff bound this year. This week they face the defending runner up in the Ducks so this will be a good test to see which one of these teams is for real.
6. Average Joes 1-0 Last Week VS Panthers W 103-101 This Week VS U.Gators Prv. #12
Drew Brees is this teams meal ticket...and he's a good meal ticket to have. Although the rest of the Average Joes line up is not top notch when Brees has a big day they are a threat to win and Brees has a lot of big days the question is will he have enough to propel this team to the top 6 this year. Either way the Average Joes have to be happy this is a team some people were expecting to go winless...well thats out of the picture.
7. Rayz 1-0 Last Week VS Unbeaten Gators W 87-80 This Week VS Panthers Prv. #8
Getting a win over the Unbeaten Gators is huge for this team and I know he doesn't care how he got it. The only reason this team isn't ranked higher is well if you take the Eagles D's 33 and put it down to a more reasonable score of 13 (Defenses rarely break the 15 point mark) then they would have put up a dumpster score of 67. Slaton has to pick it up and Pierre Thomas has to get back in the line up (before he loses his job to Bell). The Rayz should get their first loss this week against the Panthers but for a team that prides themselves on the using of the phrase cinderella story what would be more fitting than to pull off another miracle win to start 2-0.
8. Ducks 1-0 Last Week VS Ochocinco W 79-72 This Week VS Heels Prv. #6
The Defending runner up's team didn't look too strong but hey a wins a win. She may have a tougher time reaching the playoffs than once thought unless DeAngelo puts up a top 5 season cause 79 points isn't gonna get it done most weeks. This week is a toss up and a big divisional game as the Heels may be the team they are competing with for the division this year which is shaping up to be a weak Central.
9. Purple Cobras 0-1 Last Week VS Heels L 95-60 This Week VS Ochocinco Prv. #4
A preseason contender pick went out and fell flat on his face mustering only 60 points, LT looks done as a number one back, Andre put up a clunker this team is going to need to get it turned around even if they don't get a win this week they just need to show they are capable of putting some big time points up if they want to get back to that contender status. The game VS Ochocinco is a toss up if they show up but if the Cobras put up another 60 point performance there's no one in the league they can beat.
10. Ochocinco 0-1 Last Week VS Ducks L 79-72 This Week VS Purple Cobras Prv. #11
Instant Classics showed signs of life and if LT continues to slow down it could be a huge blessing to the value of Sproles and this team. If Chris Johnson and Warner can return to form and Ocho looks like the Ocho of old this team could shoot up these rankings and surprise a lot of people. I don't know why I just have a funny feeling they are gonna find a way to get it done and return to the playoffs this year...now if they start out 0-2 that feeling could easily disappear.
11. Mountaineers 1-0 Last Week VS W.Dogz W 65-64 This Week VS Kings Prv. #10
Looked pretty bad last week fortunately they were playing another of this weeks worst in the Weiner Dogz. They should cling to that week one win and not even turn the games on this week cause it'd be a shocker if they knocked off the Kings(the team they helped pad their draft). Look for this team to be picking early in 2010.
12. Weiner Dogz 0-1 Last Week VS Mountaineers L 65-64 This Week VS C.Falcons Prv. #7
If SJAX is that bad throughout this year this team will be THIS bad. The Rams could'nt get a passing game or running game going which spells for a bad hit to SJAX' value. The W.Dogz face a tough team this week and should start out 0-2 then they get the Kings so it may be a bit for this team to get its first win but who knows I've been surprised before...I was this week.
