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.
</col> </col> </col>
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.</p>
</td> </tr>

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)</p>
Once Chad Henne gets a little more comfortable the Dolphins should be one of the top teams out there.</td> </tr>
|
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.
