Week 2 Power Rankings

It looked like Week 1 was passing with out any franchise altering injuries, and then TMZ confirmed the power of seeing a woman dropped with a left hook.

1. (4) TakingTigerMountain  - The Mountain is on top again with a high score in week 1. They're deep with high-powered high-volume offense pieces, what's more many of those pieces reside on teams with struggling defensive units.  They're gonna get work if they stay healthy.

2.  (3)  Phat Girlz - Monique's club took a stinger in week 1's win with Ben Tate's knee problem.  They'll go to the wire or pray he makes a quick recovery. Likely both.  Forte looked every bit the all purpose back he was promised to be and Luck continued his status as a 2nd half star.

3. (2)  SanFranciscoFerries - the Boatmen fall a notch on uncertainty surrounding Lacy and Welker, despite winning in week 1. Cordarelle destroyed the world in a Vikes blowout and Gronk managed to catch TD despite missing most of his targets. 

4. (1)  Trichs  -  The Far East Brigade got three TDs from Julius but still went down to defeat in the opener.  The easiest reason for that was the Muscle Hamster leaving injured after only picking up a point and change. If he misses time their ground game will lack upside.

5. (9)  Polk High Panthers - the Panthers made a big trade and welcomed a new family member in one week, so naturally the Bundys capped it off with a exciting comeback win. Megatron proved he's worth every penny of his keeper price. (50 pts between the keeper WRs).  Charles didn't tear it up in his first time as a Panther, but the team is better constructed now. Still with three QBs and two DEF signed up there's plenty of room to go to the wire here.

6. (5)  Pelican Brief -  The Lynch M0b picked up the Legal Thrillers highlights in their opener, as Brady had a forgettable day. Their new WR failed to find the endzone, but the trade with Polk significantly increased Pelican's scoring potential, but their ground game is all one b34st backfield right now.

7. (10) Aethernauts - The Nauts soared out of the gate and downed the rookie in week 1.  They got a little bit from everyone, including nice days from Murray and Bennett.  Flacco held down the spot start admirably, but with Newton returning there's clear air ahead for the Explorers.

8.  (7) BuildingDwellingThinking - the German Philosophers held serve in an ugly grudge match vs the Spinners in week 1.  Ugly, largely because of the stinker put up by Dallas.   Three picks for Romo and a dehydrated Dez made for a dangerous low-ball here. Luckily Ball and Ertz found paydirt and bailed 'em out.

9.  (6) Homoerasmus James - a rough start for the rookie as Alson left the game early with a tweaked hammy and Pierce got benched. Peyton's nice start couldn't make up the difference today, but there's plenty on bone here. Spiller and Moreno both had nice days bench-bound.

10. (8)  Homespun Neckbloodz - the Spinners QB decision looked like a disaster halfway into the opener, but Foles led a comeback. Ellington's injury is potentially a big downgrade here.  Fly or Die with three starting WRs the Bloodz may have great upside, but consistency will not be a strong suit. 

T. 12. (12) Shock_Pix  - Peyton favored the wrong Thomas this week, Jay Feely was cut by the Cardinals, and TMZ threw a haymaker at Ray Rice, but there were signs of life from the Shock.  Cutler and Harvin looked up to the task, and Brandin Cook had a breakout day on the bench. A massive day for Cameron Wake wins the last minute pick-up award.

T. 12. (11)  Dijonaise All Stars   - The Mustard Men suffered jet lag in their return to civilization in Week 1. Rodgers was eaten alive by the Seattle defense, and MJD looked like he fit right in in Oakland. A Romo fueled day for the SF DEF props up the score here.
