Power Rankings

Here are the power rankings for after 3 weeks of the season.

1. Purple People Eaters. - As much as I didn't want to put this team in first place I had to. Even though they dont start a true TE, and don't appear to be the best team on paper, the numbers show otherwise. They are tied for the best record in the league and have scored the most points in the league, including the leading point total for two weeks running. I don't know if the PPE will be able to hold this spot down, but for now, it is all theirs.

2. The Church. - The church could be in first position but faltered last week to drop down to number two. This team is still very solid as long as it can stay healthy. After a recent trade this week he picked up some needed running back points while taking a slight hit in the recieving corps. This team is very dangerous if healthy. It features the most dominant player in fantasy football in LT. The Church also appears to have its hands on the leagues hottest new quarterback/reciever duo, in McNabb and Stallworth. There is no doubt this team should remain near the top of the league for the rest of the year.

3. Could Be Good. - After making a trade this week, CBG now features the deadliest recieving duo in the league. They also throw out a solid running back tandem in Ronnie Brown and Willis McGahee. It also looks like the risk of taking Kellen Winslow is paying off, and paying off well. If Kurt Warner continues to have turnover issues the team will have to rely on Brett Favre. Favre has put up great numbers to start the season, but it is a big question to if he will do it all year. CBG has depth on the bench as well, in Roy Williams, Corey Dillion, and Joseph Addia. Addia may not be putting up the big numbers now, but is still having a good rookie season and could turn it on in the second half. I don't see any reason why this team would do anything but continue to climb up the rankings ladder.

4. Open For Business. - Coming off a harsh loss last weekend, Open For Business is looking to recover. They have a tough match-up against The Church this week that should tell us what they are made of. This team has some explosive players that can light up the board. However there are also times when these players wont do much of anything, and that could prove costly for OFB. By all means this team should be 3-0 though, but unfortunitly luck was on the opposing teams side last week, and in huge proportions. I look for this team to rebound though, it has many solid players and that will result in winning a lot of games. This team is a definite contender for the number one ranking in future weeks.

5. Green Machine. This team has a lot of players that are very quietly off to a good start. This has resulted in a record that is tied for tops in the league. With the exception of a disappointing week one performance, this team has scored points with the big dogs the last two weeks. If Manning and Wayne have a good week this team is going to win most of the time, and seeing as how Manning is off to quite a start, I like the Green Machines chances in upcoming weeks. The big question is the running backs, and if they can continue to put up ok numbers. If they can do this or maybe even improve a little, this team will make the playoffs and be feared because of the Manning Wayne connection.

6. The 3 Time Champ. - This is also a team that has a 2 - 1 record and is tied for the best in the league. For the 3 Time Champ however, this really shouldn't be the case. Last week should have resulted in a loss, but for unknown reasons did not. Injuries are beginning to become a problem for this team and could cost it in the future. The quarterback of this team has also had some major problems this year, scoring only 21 points to date. There are a lot of question marks on this team in my opinion at all positions. Gates production is down this year and that has to worry the owner. Nevertheless this team is 2-1 and that must be taken into account. I'm just not sure how many more times, luck will be on this teams side.

7. The Purple Pride. - The Pride are coming off a tough week in which their star player was on bye. Before that week however the team was undefeated and looked particularly good week one. The WR's and RB's on this team can flat out explode. The scary thing is that LJ has not even had his good weeks yet. This team will no doubt have weeks when it scores the most points in the league, however it is coming off just a 75 point performance and a loss to one of the lower teams in the league so the ranking is a little low. I look for this team to climb up some spots in the coming weeks.

8. Henke's Troopers. - The Troop has had some bad luck this year. The team is really better than the record shows. Steve Smith being hurt no doubt cost this team a win or two. With Smith healthy and back in action I look for this team to get some wins in the upcoming weeks. They have dug a hole but of all the bottom teams this one has the best chance of climbing out and back into playoff contention.

9. Scott. - Scott did finally get on the board with a win last weekend, but it was not that impressive of a win. This team has some good players but they just dont seem to be putting up the points this year. There is enough talent here to win some games but it just hasn't shown as of now. If the players start to play like they are capable of then this team could make a run at the top 6. If that is the case then week 3's victory could prove to be huge down the stretch.

10. Agre. - Agre has what is known as the worst team in the league. Injuries and lack of production are plaguing this team like it is 14th Century Europe. This team needs a win and it needs one bad. Perhaps there needs to be some trades or something to spark the fire under this team, but if Agre has any postseason aspirations he needs to do something now.


That concludes the Power Rankings after 3 weeks of play. Good luck to all in week 4.
