Week 9 Rankings

Romeo Crennel, the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, is by the far the worst coach in the history of the NFL!!!!!!  I thought maybe it was just because he was coaching the Cleveland Browns in the past couple of years and he had nothing to work with that made him bad, but after watching what he has done with the Chiefs so far this year, I can absolutely say he is the worst coach I have ever seen (and that's not even getting in to the fact that he's obese and looks completely disinterested every time the camera is on him).  How, I ask you how, do you only give Jamaal Charles, one of the best and most complete backs in the league, only 5 freaking carries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Seriously, one of the most explosvie and dynamic running backs only gets 5 carries?  That Romeo Crennel is why you have only won 1 game all year, and that came against the Saints who have the worst defense in the league in OT!

You should be ashamed of yourself for pretending that you possess even an ounce of football knowledge, and owners of the Chiefs, you should be ashamed for letting nicely plump Crennel dupe you in to hiring him.  Which means obviously that while he sucks at coaching, he's real real good at interviewing.  So congrats to you on that Crennel, you are the world's best interviewer and at the same time the world's worst football coach.  You embarass me personally as I own Jamaal Charles in all 3 of my leagues and he put up one of the most putrid stat lines a top 5 fantasy back has ever put up thanks to your blatant idiotness of givng your best player only 5 carries.  Plus, I had him as my #1 back in Week 8's rankings, embrassing me even further.  I hate you Romeo Crennel.  The End!!!



Ok, now that I have blasted Crennel, let's move on to the bye weeks and rankings!

Teams on Bye (get these players out of your lineup!!):
New England Patriots:  Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Stevan Ridley (this is going to hurt a lot of people this week if they drafted backups poorly)
New York Jets:  Shonn Greene (the Jets suck, but I felt bad not including anyone, so I chose Greene)
San Francisco 49ers:  Frank Gore, Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, D/ST
St. Louis Rams:  Steven Jackson and maybe some of you own the Rams D/ST

If you need to pick anyone up, look at your waiver wire and compare to the rankings below.  If you have any questions, either e-mail me at mattymccall@gmail.com or post a comment.

Week 7 Rankings

Currently talking to my buddy on the phone about a whole bunch of crap, none of which is at all relatable to fantasy football except for the fact that for my 31st birthday a bunch of the guys are coming over and we're drinking, eating pizza, and watching every football game on the Direct TV ticket.

So wish me a happy birthday and if you don't see me post a weekly rankings article next Wednesday, that means I died while celebrating my birthday weekend, but I died happy.

Six teams on bye this week:

Atlanta Falcos
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs
Miami Dolphins
Philadelphia Eagles
San Diego Chargers

Keeping it short and sweet as I need to do some research in to places in Pittsburgh that you can dance that have no smoking, yet you can still have a conversation if you want.  That probably leaves me with no options at all, but I'm determined!!!

Any questions, comments, thoughts, doesn't even have to be about fantasy football, post a comment to the blog or e-mail mattymccall@gmail.com.

Week 6 Rankings

Where did you go Egypt????!!!!!  After 8 page views last week from Egypt, they have completely disappeared this week to a total of 0!!  But on a positive note, The Ukraine is not weak, as they registered 1 official page view this past week to match Australia's total as well.  The U.S. was strong this past week with 8 page views.

But seriously, you're not here to listen to me ramble on and on about my viewing audience, as I'm sure it matters in the least to you.  You're here to see what the Consigliere has to say this week about who to start and who to sit based on the good 'ol rankings.

So first things first; teams on a bye for Week 6:

Carolina Panthers
Chicago Bears
Jacksonville Jaguars
New Orleans Saints

So if you drafted Cam Newton or Drew Brees, take a look at the 11-25 spots on the QB rankings and see who is the highest player I have ranked still available in your league that you may need (cough cough, Andrew Luck, cough cough).

Other big name players out this week are Jimmy Graham, Darren Sproles, and Marques Colston from the New Orleans Saints, Maurice Jones Drew from the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte from the Chicago Bears.  So take a peek at my rankings and you just might find yourself a solid fill in.

Any questions, comments, or thoughts, post a comment or e-mail mattymccall@gmail.com.

Week 5 Rankings

First let me say I don't know what happened in Egpyt on October 1st, but whatever it was, it provided me with 9 pageviews of this blog in one day, which I think is an all time record.  So thanks to the country of Egpyt for somehow stumbling across this blog accidentally, and if for some reason you are really in to Fantasy Football, I hope you come back for some more.  (Second place goes to Russia with 3 page views within the last week, so kudos to you Russia.)

4 teams on bye this week; Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  So make sure you get any players from these teams out of your lineups.  Because of this you may see some new players in the 30-50 range for RB and WR, so be sure to scope those out.  Also, Greg Jennings is not playing this Sunday, so everyone in the Packers receiving corps gets a boost in the rankings, particularly James Jones, who most likely is the #1 waiver pickup in your league.

If you have any questions, comments, ideas, whatever it may be, post a comment on this blog or e-mail mattymccall@gmail.com.
