Wk 10 Power Rankings

Down goes Lee...shocker.  Here is my fire sales pitch unbiased look at the league at this point:

-5 teams OUT...autopsies on the way!
-5 horse race with Tighe one game back on the wild card

So, given the split, I will IGNORE the bottom five given time constraints...

5. Nemo
Doug Martin scoring one thousand points was cute but I do not think he is going to be at that level for the year!  The move to scoop up Wallace was very costly- a top-six pick- but the player is a stud when firing and Pittsburgh is an ascending offense.  I think Nemo could use Fred Jackson another RB as cover because another injury would be devastating (in other words, Woodhead).

4. Curran
A commanding performance from Father Coffee as he 'spilled the beans' on Lee's flimsy #1 spot.  Brady returns but the squad is going to need a boost from Ahmad Bradshaw at least one more player currently tucked away on the bench- Redman, maybe, or another player acquired before Turkey Day.

3. Lee
I think there is a top-two, a bottom two, and then Lee, who fits snugly in the middle.  When on his game, Lee is a threat to all squads in the NFFL but the inconsistency of players such as Ridley is going to be maddening.  In terms of just the playoffs, I think Lee is likely to be very let down by a player simply not getting needed volume- Nicks, Bryant, Eli, Ridley- or maybe an injury at RB.  Lee could probably use Jordy Nelson as he recovers fully in time for the playoffs veteran help at WR as Broyles, Hilton, and Wright are all solid prospects who cannot be relied upon in the playoffs.

2. Tighe
One game out but the strong squad would hint otherwise.  The QB trio is formidable, the RB position improving, and the WR group solid enough despite Harvin's injury.  Still, given potential concerns with that player, Tighe might be tempted to bid against Lee for Mr. Nelson take one more swing at a veteran WR pickup just to shore up a potential problem area.

1. Malinn
I think if we reset the records at this point I would actually go with Tighe's team but Malinn takes the top spot by virtue of kissing up to the commish about his bad luck having won last week.  The QBs are a little shaky for a #1 but passable while the WR-TE area is a true strength.  Scooping up the disgruntled Drew Brees extra help at RB would probably make Malinn a weak favorite going forward.

This week?

Tighe-Lee and Malinn-Curran highlight excellent matchups while Nemo hopes to sneak past a stubborn PBR squad.  Good luck all!
