Fantasy Football Rankings: Fantasy Focus Week 9
Alright I followed through with last week’s claim and took first place – now I’m sharing it with Arse this week, but only because I think he’s a great guy and he’s stuck up in the darkness of Alaska right now – using flashlights to read in the middle of the day, and shining sun bulbs in his house just to keep the happy warm feeling flowing (and he tied my rankings, so he earned it). Here’s how the focus went down.
(Papa wants to let you know, if you want some old-school bad-ass fantasy advice, send him emails to PAPAWEIMER50@HOTMAIL.COM)
Elite Starters: Guys picked early that I love this week, looking for Top 5 at their position. B+
- Peyton Manning – Peyton was 18th amongst QBs – so he got me good. D-
- Adrian Peterson – AP was 2nd amongst RBs with 30 points. A+
- Hakeem Nicks- #4 WR this week, doing work against the puny Hawks secondary! A
- Antonio Gates – All time backfire, AG finally sat one out, BLAST! F
- Phillip Rivers– #1 Fantasy QB in Week 9! 27 big ones in a 4pt TD league. A+
Solid Starters: Guys picked in middle rounds that should outplay their ranking/draft position this week. B+
- Terrell Owens– #1 Fantasy Player with 36 points. Who would have thought he’d greatly out-produce Ocho? Oh, I know, ME! A+
- Greg Jennings– 21 fantasy points got him 10th place amongst WRs. A
- LeSean McCoy– Tied for 17th amongst RBs, one big run, not much else. C
- Matt Forte- Out of the Top 20 with just 10 fantasy points. Blah. C-
- Eli Manning – 23 points had him good for 5th QB overall, tied with his fellow NY starter, sanCHEZ. A+
Sleeper Starters: Guys ranked low, drafted low or falling off the charts, but I still like them this week… B-
- Steve Johnson–11 grabs for 145 made him #7 amongst WRs. A+
- LeGarrette Blount – 13 carries for 46 yards and Blount couldn’t get the big one as the Falcons held his 4th and goal attempt from the 1 to win the game. D-
- Jacob Tamme–#1 Fantasy TE in Clark’s absence. You bet. A+
- BenJarvus Green-Ellis -Just 1 fantasy point this week, killin’ me BJGE. F
- Davone Bess – double digits again, 5 grabs for 50 yards. 30th WR. B
Super Sleepers: Undrafted guys that are usually unowned, but in a pinch put ‘em in coach! B
- Jon Kitna–Just 9 points, the Cowboys were horrible. D
- Jordy Nelson– 4 grabs for 42 yards, his buddy had a big day, still 8 points from a fill-in ain’t bad at all. B-
- James Jones– 26 fantasy points, 4th WR overall. A+
- Patrick Crayton – 3 grabs for 72 yards, not too shabby. B
- Ben Watson – 1 catch for 24 yards, but his Browns beat his old team. Good for him, but doesn’t help me any. D-
Sit ‘Em Son: I don’t care where they were drafted, I don’t like these guys starting this week… C
- Carson Palmer–Actually played much better than I figured, all in the 2nd half (or 4th quarter) but I was wrong. 15 points good for 14th overall. D+
- Jahvid Best– He ended up the 15th best RB, with 13 fantasy points, 16 carries for 48 and 5 grabs for 40 – not too bad at all. D+
- Roy Williams– 1 catch. 6 yards. A+
- Mike Williams (SEA)– Had a TD catch bounce off his mitts and he was eaten up by the Giants D all day long. A
- Cedric Benson– Had 50+ yards rushing 20 on 2 grabs receiving, and scored a TD – not bad at all. Good for 10th RB in Week 9. F
***”Phillip Rivers, no receivers, no problem.***
Finally, 1st place – though it was bitter sweet as it was only a tie for first – but hey, I’ll take what I can get! Arse knows his stuff!

Who we MISSED!
QB: Matthew Stafford – Mark Sanchez: Before going down, Stafford had a big day for the Lions, connecting on 2 TDs and running for 1, he was 4th overall with 24 points. Sanchez was just a point behind him, so I was right about Mark. He did most all his damage in the 2nd half – but a nice day for the young Cali-boy.
RB: Brandon Jackson: We didn’t do too shabby, Jackson was tied for 6th with 22 points. Mendenhall 21 points – 8th and Ronnie Brown 20 points – 9th, also had nice days.
WR: Jacoby Ford, Seyi Ajirotutu, James Jones, DeSean Jackson, Steve Johnson: Ford went nuts, especially if you have kick return yardage at all. Still a Top 8 no matter which way your league scores. Seyi was Rivers’ top target catching 2 scores and going for 2nd or 3rd amongst WRs. James Jones had 26 points. And DeSean Jackson and Steve Johnson both finished with 25 fantasy points.
TE: Randy McMichael: Most of us thought Gates would play, so that makes sense for how we picked up a 0 and how McMichael went un-ranked as Gates’ back-up.
DEF: Cardinals: Odd that nobody would play the Cards despite all the turnovers Brett and the Vikings had been tallying – oh well, our defenses actually had a pretty good week. The Cardinals were 3rd overall in our league.
