Fantasy Rankings - Week 3

The much anticipated, eagerly awaited, fantasy team rankings. First off, it took only three weeks to give every team in the league it's first loss. There are seven teams with a 2-1 record, again making this all that much tougher. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, Every team in the West Division won in Week 3, while every team in the East Division took a loss. The Central Division split with 2 wins, 2 losses.

Here we go.... (last week in brackets)

1. Thunder Choads (1) [2-1] - I know, this team took a loss in week 3, how is it still ranked number 1? I'm not ready to put Crippled Monkeys in the top spot this week. The Choads still have AP, I'm not sure how banged up he is, but another so-so week and the top spot will go to someone else.

2. Crippled Monkeys (2) [2-1] - MJD had a huge week, the rest of the team was average at best. The bench, well, that is the main reason the Monkeys stay at the number 2 slot. The bench scares the bejesus out of me!

3. The Stud Stable (6) [2-1] - The love I lost for this team in week 2 has returned in week 3. Drew Brees scores under 10 points, the rest of the team makes up for it this week with plenty on the bench to spare. It's a well rounded team, lots of studs, lots of depth and 11 of 12 players drafted via auction.

4. Stickboy (4) [2-1] - This team played well in Week 3, unfortunately it faced the fierce Big Daddy team who produced the high score of the week. It was a gutsy move benching TJ Housh, it was the right move with all three receivers scoring more.

6. Buckwheat (9) [2-1] - and I quote "It's hard to pick your lineup when you have so many good players" This team easily could have scored over 130 points if the line up was at it's best. This team will be strong now that the BYE weeks are here.

6. One Angy Gook (8) [2-1] - Back in the winning column, keeping the faith and this team will turn the corner and start to dominate.

7. Dynasty (5) [1-2] - Decent numbers this week after Week 2's monster performance, wasn't enough to win this week. Still had decent point totals for most of the players. Lost Laurant Robinson for the season and will have to grab a replacement off the waiver wire. Plus that replacement kicker really hurt.

8. Grease Slappers (10) [2-1] - Got LeSean McCoy into the starting lineup with Westbrook inactive. Now has Glen Coffee as a starter with Frank Gore out for three weeks. Then there's the only offensive threat for St Louis, Steven Jackson and Cedric Benson, still performing great for three weeks in a row. This team may be moving up, but not until week 5 as it has 6 players on BYE in week 4.

9. Big Daddy (11) [1-2] - This team is not out of the woods yet, but had the top score of the week, congrats. Got a couple of injured or sluggish players back, but also had a couple others get injured or close to being done with their career.

10. Pimp Juice (3) [1-2] - This team makes me wince in pain. LT out, Frank Gore out, Lance Moore MIA, Chris Chambers MIA, Brady relied on the running game to win and now Fred Jackson will have to fight Marshawn Lynch for playing time.

11. Rutting Bucks (12) [0-3] - This team had some good news, despite it's third loss. Marshawn Lynch returns in week 4, we'll see how long it takes to get into game shape. Kevin Walters is over the hamstring injury, Knowshon Moerno had a huge week. Time will tell how this all plays out.

12. Dragons (7) [1-2] - As requested, Dragons take the last spot in the rankings. This team has the potential, the bench did well, when it's firing on all cylinders, look out. This was not one of those weeks.
