Power Rankings!

1. Tiiite End Jammers (2-0): Oh my, Priest is back. What else needs to be said? The offseason dumping of Boston and acquisition of Horn has been genius while Toomer has outplayed his unathletic self. Once Jerry Rice understands the playbook, this team will be down right scary. Oh yeah, they also have some dude in dreadlocks who calls himself Ricky. NBA Team: Lakers. They got them oldies but goodies. This is the year that the Jammers are looking to take it all.

2. Ante Up (1-1): If it weren't for a random benching of Koren Robinson, Ante would've had a chance to take over the top dawg spot. A passing game of Coles, K-Rob, and Mason is deep and talented. Edgerrin looks like his 2000 self while Fraud Taylor has been solid - averaging 12 fpts a game this year. Until either Garcia or Taylor gets wrecked (we think another week or so), Ante has no weakness. A young and unassuming bench coupled with a couple injury-prone veterans might be the team's biggest concern. NBA Team: Kings.

3. Philadelphia Phreaks (1-1): What the heck is goin on with Donovan? What the heck is goin on with Jamal Lewis?! Right behind the Jammer backfield, the Phreaks stable of young backs in Portis and Lewis is currently ranked #2 in our book. 295 yards and 2 tds is beyond ridiculous. This ridiculousness of course is only rivaled by Donovan's 7 pt average between week 1 through 3. But Donovan is Donovan, the man will pick himself up -- and when he does -- watch out. Chambers and Ike have been decent. Shockey has been lucky to say the least and the team definitely misses the talented Jerry Porter. The team will need to find its passing game before it'll have a real shot at upsetting one of the IDK teams. NBA Team: Nets

4. Skool (1-1): Another by-product of CTDB's "Master P-arity Plan". When Skool management realized that Chad Johnson was still on the table during this season's supplemental draft, there was no question who they wanted. Backed by a fast rising running game in Loose Deuce and Stevie Davis, the Skool passing game is quickly becoming one of the best in the league. With the recent decline of McNabb and Manning, coupled with Vick's injury, Culpepper is the league's best QB at this point. The receiving core, led by Johnson, Stallworth and Price is the youngest and most talented in the league. When these young guys figure out the opposing defenses, there will be little this offensive juggernaut cannot do. NBA Team: Pistons.

5. Flaming Shrapnel (2-0): The record looks good but here at the CTDB fantasy league office, we think a lot of it is luck. Maddox has been ridiculous but the smorgasboard backfield of William Green, Eddie George, Tiki Barber, Warrick Dunn, Onterrio Smith hasn't been exactly turned the league upside down. The Shrapnel's victories were against the floundering Monkeys and the Battle "Bye Week" Angels. However, Jimmy Smith will be returning in 2 weeks and will make the Shrapnel receiving core extremely formidable. If GM Liao can find two solid backs out of his five, this can turn out to be a pretty solid team. NBA Team: Pacers

6. Dirty Birds (1-1): Oh how the champion stumbles. Its CTDB Law. While no one has missed Buffy's fantastic crash, the current defending champion, DirteByrdeez, are quietly sloshing their way through the season as well. The Vick-less team has suffered through some early struggles in the passing game. Despite losing 2 of their best young receivers in the offseason, Marvin, Plax, and MeShawn have posted respectable numbers -- however, most of it due to Plax. But not enough. Collins is steady but not flashy. Ahman and Dillon have shown glimpses of their former selves. Consistency will be key. If the Birds can hold their place in the standings until the great Mike Vick returns, they will have a good shot at making their second straight run at the trophy. NBA Team: Celtics

7. Chunky Monkeys (1-1): Thanks to Buffy aka "Bye Week II", the Monkeys finally tacked on their first win despite injuries to their top two receivers, Boston and Driver. LT2 and SA have been a solid tandem while DJax and Andre the Rookie have been pleasant surprises. Travis remains talented but incredibly inconsistent. It will be impossible to gauge this team until the team gets healthy but until then, we can't see the Monkey's winning more than half of its schedule. At least the Monkey fans still chant "Duce! Duce! Duce!" Its currently the best chant in the league that we can think of. NBA Team: Mavericks

8. Green Team (1-1): So Hearst is old, Booker is only as good as Kordell, and Gardner is hurt by Coles but the Green Team is still averaging 95 pts per week. How the? Thats our question. I guess Travis along with his 1.05 ypc average last week and Hines Ward are still great if not spectacular. Favre is Favre. Our guess is that Booker will only get better while Hearst will only get worse. Thats a wash in our book. The G Team will need to pick it up in terms of scoring if it wants to move past the other high scoring teams of the SMG division. NBA Team: Suns

9. Buffy (0-2): The parity of the league runs rampant. The once dominant team of the west has since been rendered the divisional doormat below the division's powerhouses. Averaging 72 pts per week, Buffy will have no chance to make the playoffs if it cannot revitalize its once feared passing attack. While Holt has improved noticeably, Gannon has started slowly, Rod Smith has done nothing, and Tim Brown has done even less. Coach Cheng loathes the pro set formation and often opts to go with the run and shoot but the lack of production and depth at receivers has forced management to go back to the more traditional 2-back set. While Garner and Faulk are respectable, there is little doubt that their age is catching up. Faulk doesn't get nearly enough touches and Garner is well ... Garner ... the ultimate scatback...thats it. With Gannon, Rod, Tim, Garner, and Faulk, Buffy is clearly the oldest team in the league. Social Security hates this team. While Brooks, Troy Brown, and Quincy Morgan represents a younger and more talented bench than most in the league, it probably won't be enough. The IDK division is just too ridiculous. NBA Team: Grizzlies.

10. Angels (0-2): Despite winning the first overall pick in this year's supplemental draft, the Battle Angels have lost to their worst foe - the injury bug. James Stewart and Chad Pennington were lost to injuries even before the season began. Curtis Martin isn't even a shadow of his former self. Galloway is flash gordon that flashes every 3 weeks. Tai Streets is serviceable at best. Leaving Randy Moss, the leader, the speaker, the healer. However, it ain't nearly enough. Trung just sucks. Moe, in 2 weeks, should not be on a fantasy roster. The Angels average under 60 points a game (Compare and Contrast: The Jammers backfield usually score more than that each week). There will be a lot of personnel changes this year. Trainers will be fired. Heads will roll. What will GM Dinh do? NBA Team: (CBA) Rockford Lightning.
