Week Three Power Rankings and Predictions

Two teams undefeated. Two teams looking for their first win. And a whole lotta middle. Sounds like Fantasy Football to me!

We had some crazy performances this week (50 points from RB Jahvid Best!) but lets get down to what brings everyone here in the first place: Week Three Power Rankings!

WEEK THREE POWER RANKINGS

01. The Cyber Police (2-0)

There is not much to say about the best team in the FYCL because they are simply mowing down the competition. Justin Ferrari's band of heroes should be able to lead him to victory this weekend over Rob's Team. The first real test for his team will come in Week Five against Nick Votto's roster.

02. Beauty and the Miller (1-1)

If it wasn't for that first week, Beauty and the Miller would be sitting pretty at number one. Everything is in place. His QB, RB, WRs, TE...every single player has contributed in big ways each week. The draft class of Beauty and the Miller is something of a masterpiece, and I must say that every team in the league should fear the week on the schedule where you have to go up against Shaggy Miller's squad.

03. Brett Favre's Crocs (2-0)

This placement will likely irk owner Nick Votto. Yeah, a 2-0 start is great, and a win over his rival is all fine and dandy - but the power rankings aren't just about the win column. Holding at number three is definitely an honor in this league, and his whole roster is working for him at this time. There is no element of Votto's game that isn't firing consistently, and he should extend his winning streak this week with a victory over father Paul Votto.

04. Flashin' The Big Ben (1-1)

Ryan Who? Yeah, I thought losing RB Ryan Grant spelled doom for Flashin' The Big Ben, but the team proved me wrong in a very significant way. Coming off a monster win and smartly playing the waiver game, watch as Big Ben starts making a meticulous rise in the standings.

05. RingRing Hooka RingRing (1-1)

Despite falling to Team Minch last week, there is still a lot of good things happening in Christina Ruud's camp. She made some decent trades early in the season that netted her RB Cedric Benson and WR Marques Colston, and her management has kept most of her points in play rather than on the bench. Look for a bounce back win this week as she goes up against You Dun Goofed.

06. Rob's Team (1-1)

This ain't last year's team. A solid and dependable roster is what will carry Rob Pakulski's throughout the 2010-2011 season. QB Eli Manning may not be the best choice, but the rest of his team is going to carry the lackluster numbers that the Giants leader puts up. It would be surprising for Rob to upset Justin Ferrari's The Cyber Police this week, but anything could happen.

07. Team McLaughlin (0-2)

Going without a win with that many points scored is a tragedy, and I'm sure Glen McLaughlin's finding his first season in the FYC to be quite frustrating. LaunchPad McQuack got an unreal day out of a sleeper RB and Team McLaughlin put up respectable numbers but it wasn't enough. I still wouldn't count out TM, but he needs some assistance in the starting QB area: Brett Favre's just not going to do it this year.

08. Team Minch (1-1)

He might be on the rocks with the commissioner after some highly suspect trade offers this weekend, but Minch scored a moral victory this weekend by upseting the favorite RingRing Hooka RingRing. Now if Minch could just get his front office wrangled in a bit, I think you could have this year's giant killer.

09. Pauls Freudian Trip (0-2)

Do not dismiss Pauls Freudian Trip on record alone - his team has generated points, just not when they mattered. His Monday Night numbers were off-kilter, and his first round draft pick hasn't displayed any of that magic from last year. Watch Paul Votto's team closely because even though they are in the basement, he's quietly making moves around the league to make a big push towards the postseason.

10. You Dun Goofed (1-1)

"Meh". That's the word that would best sum up You Dun Goofed's tallies over the last two weeks. One was just okay enough to get a win and the other was a slightly embarassing defeat to their rival. Now with RB Reggie Bush out, perhaps it is in my best interest to starting being a pass-heavy team like almost everyone else.

11. LaunchPad McQuack (1-1)

It's a long road to the top of the rankings but if RB Jahvid Best can turn out cames even half as good as his on Sunday, you'll see Matt Ruud's team slowly creep up the power table. Now if he can only get the rest of his team to put up respectable numbers. QB Joe Flacco? What is going on?

12. One Team One Cup (1-1)

Last week, they were the unlikely toast of the league with a convincing win - now they are below two winless teams. What happened? Well, a whole lot of mediocre players phoned in some abysmal performances. 1T1C was an iffy team at best from Day One, so this is just a case of true colors shining through.
