NFL Power Rankings – Week 2
NFL Power Rankings for Week 2 – Sorry for the delay, Matt is getting married this week, I have been traveling. Haven’t had a ton of time to write it up. Big mover of the week is the Texans, I moved them up a ton, because they looked crazy good.
| 1 |  |
Green Bay Packers (1-0) Losing Ryan Grant hurts the Packers a little bit. But I think any RB could run 1200 yards with that passing offense. |
| 2 |  |
New Orleans Saints (1-0) Big deal they beat the out of sync Vikings. OK, so what, I’m bitter. The Saints offense looked a little flat, but maybe that was because of the Vikings defense. |
| 3 |  |
Baltimore Ravens (1-0) Boldin was the addition the Ravens needed. He looked great in the opener, and hopefully he can stay healthy all year for the Ravens.
|
| 4 |  |
New England Patriots (1-0) Looks like the Patriots are back. Everyone is healthy, and everyone is in sync, I think they will take out the Jets this week. |
| 5 |  |
Houston Texans (1-0) Foster is a beast. He is the missing piece to this offense. The Texans needed a solid running game to compliment their dynamic passing offense. |
| 6 |  |
Indianapolis Colts (0-1) The colts are lacking a little bit of a running game. Maybe they should put Donald Brown in, because I have him in one of my fantasy leagues. |
| 7 |  |
Minnesota Vikings (0-1) Favre didn’t die after one game, that is a good thing. The bad thing is he is totally out of sync with his receivers. Maybe he should have showed up for training camp. |
| 8 |  |
Dallas Cowboys (0-1) The Cowboys need to address some issues with their offensive line. That holding on the last play of the game was terrible. |
| 9 |  |
Miami Dolphins (1-0)
Once Chad Henne gets a little more comfortable the Dolphins should be one of the top teams out there. |
| 10 |  |
New York Jets (0-1) What the hell happened to Shonn Greene? He is supposed to be the stud back for the Jets. LT looked better than him, that is not good. |
| 11 |  |
Tennessee Titans (1-0) Solid workmanlike performance by Vince Young on Sunday. 31 touches for Chris Johnson is way too many though, he won’t last the season at that pace. |
| 12 |  |
Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) I know it’s just one week and it was the high flying Patriots, but that defense looked bad. On the bright side, Ochocinco had a good fantasy week. |
| 13 |  |
Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) The Packers are a really good team. If Kolb misses two weeks Vick should lead the Eagles to two victories (Lions, Jags) will there be a QB controversy in Philly? |
| 14 |  |
San Diego Chargers (0-1) The Chargers dominated time of possession, but their special teams looked horrific, that needs to get fixed soon. |
| 15 |  |
Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) I would watch Dexter McCluster return punts all day, I don’t know if he’ll ever be more than a great return guy, but he sure is fun to watch |
| 16 |  |
New York Giants (1-0) They held DeAngelo and Stewart to 21 carries and 73 yards, that’s not easy to do |
| 17 |  |
Atlanta Falcons (0-1) The Falcons will get it back on track against the woeful Arizona Cardinals this week. |
| 18 |  |
Washington Redskins (1-0) Nice grind it out division win by the Redskins on Sunday night, but McNabb didn’t look that great and neither did the running game. |
| 19 |  |
Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) Can Hines Ward play until he’s 60? The statline for Mendenhall shows a good game, but he looked awful until his TD run |
| 20 |  |
Carolina Panthers (0-1) The Panthers have a good defense, but when your quarterback has 4 turnovers you’re almost never going to win the game |
| 21 |  |
San Francisco 49ers (0-1) Alex Smith is really awful, but where was Michael Crabtree? I expect the 49ers to step it up, and not play like the worst team in the league. |
| 22 | |
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) The Jaguars won despite Mike Sims-Walker not catching a pass. I think he has over taken Santana Moss as the ultimate boom/bust player |
| 23 | |
Denver Broncos (0-1) Kyle Orton is a very underrated player, but I don’t think Brandon Lloyd can keep this up for 16 weeks. |
| 24 |  |
Seattle Seahawks (1-0) The good news for Seahawks fans is they won last week’s game. The bad news is I would be shocked if they played a team that looked that bad again this year |
| 25 |  |
Arizona Cardinals (1-0) How much money do you think they offered Kurt Warner to come back? Please come back Kurt. |
| 26 |  |
Chicago Bears (1-0) They stole a victory from the Lions, but a win is a win. On a side note Jay Cutler is right on pace for 30-30 (TDs and turnovers) |
| 27 |  |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) They could finish with a top 10 defense this year, not sure if that offense can crack the top 25 though. |
| 28 |  |
Detroit Lions (0-1) The Lions look to be much improved this year although the loss of Matthew Stafford is devastating. |
| 29 |  |
St.Louis Rams (0-1) If the Rams had a #2 RB who wasn’t awful they would have won last week. They are not as bad as the rankings makes them look. |
| 30 |  |
Cleveland Brown (0-1) How does Jake Delhomme still have a roster spot? He’s terrible, but it’s a little too early to throw Colt McCoy into the fire. |
| 31 | |
Oakland Raiders (1-0) They couldn’t possibly have looked worse last week. On the bright side Darren McFadden looked not terrible. |
| 32 |  |
Buffalo Bills (0-1) I would be surprised if the Bills win more than 2 games this year. Sorry Buffalo the only thing you have going for you is wings. |
