Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 25 (+1) Record: 0-1 That sound you just heard was Russell Wilson’s bandwagon hitting a pole. As I’ve said all along, Wilson is far more likely to go the way of Quincy Carter, Chris Weinke, and Kyle Orton than Andy Dalton (the only 4 non-1st round picks to…

Last week: 24 (-1) Record: 0-1 It’s a bad sign when your only chance to make the playoff is to follow a strong defense, good running game, don’t make mistakes formula and you allow 40 at home in the opener. I know they were missing their top two defensive players…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Last week: 26 (+0) Record: 1-0 How about that? The Vikings had the league’s worst record in games decided by a touchdown or less last season, going 2-9, and in their opener, they lead a comeback drive and win by 3 in overtime. That type of thing is unpredictable on…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 27 (+0) Record: 0-1 Maybe starting a rookie quarterback with 19 collegiate starts will prove to be the right move in the long run, but for now, it’s really stifling their offense, especially with no one at the wide receiver position who can create separation. Tannehill’s 20 for…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 32 (+4) Record: 0-1 Jacksonville moves up despite the loss because Blaine Gabbert showed some signs of life in his 2nd season debut, completing 23 of 39 for 260 yards, 2 touchdown, and no interceptions. Minnesota’s secondary is crap, but I was very impressed with Gabbert’s poise under…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 28 (-1) Record: 0-1 I picked the Bengals as one of my overrated teams coming into the season and they certainly looked the part against the Ravens. Andy Dalton struggled mightily to complete anything longer than 10 yards downfield and had the week’s 7th worst adjusted QB rating…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 30 (+0) Record: 1-0 Consider me unimpressed by the Cardinals’ win over the Seahawks. The Seahawks were a poor road team starting a rookie 3rd round quarterback on the road in his 1st start with no offensive supporting cast, except a running back who was hurt. I had…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#31)
Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 0-1 It’s tough to learn much about the Raiders for their first game, except that they seem to be unable to not shoot themselves in the foot. An injury to their long snapper did them in as they went on to bungle 3 punts (1…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#32)
Last week: 29 (-3) Record: 0-1 Yikes. 12 of 35 for 118 yards and 4 interceptions. That is one of the worst quarterback performances I’ve ever seen. It’s pretty clear, Weeden, despite his age, is not a nearly finished product. It wasn’t all his fault; his supporting cast sucks. He’ll…

Continue reading →: Week 2 Fantasy Football Waiver Claims
QB Jake Locker (Tennessee) Percent owned (ESPN): 18.0% Locker left with injury, but it sounds like he’ll be fine for week 2. I was really high on Locker and the Tennessee offense before the season started, particularly in fantasy, and Locker certainly didn’t do anything to prove me wrong, completing…
