Team Profiles The Total Roster

Power
Rankings (2001 Pre-Season Edition) 1.) ClusterChucks (0-0) Obviously no surprise, here. Since the editor believes Sandbox leagues are won and lost on the strength of the O-flex positions, and since this squad has several viable RB options to fill this position, it looks like another solid year for the home team. Will need a little work before the owner can put this team on auto-pilot, however. 2.) Clarksville Pigskins (0-0) Sprinkled in a top QB, a top WR, and three top D-flex positions while also grabbing three, maybe four, viable O-flex options. While capable of putting a sturdy starting 11 on the field for week one, the main question mark is whether this team's bench will be able to sustain the injuries that will inevitably come this season. 3.) German Newfies (0-0) The number one overall pick, coupled with three other decent RB options are present, but a less than stellar QB and WR rotation knock this team down a rung. Defensive depth abounds (7 players for 3 positions), and with a top kicker and a sleeper TE, this owner is set for an outstanding rookie campaign. 4.) Dogman's Brainchildren (0-0) Go ahead and move this team up two or three notches if Jamal Lewis had not sustained a season-ending injury. Well, maybe not three notches, but definitely two. Every year, this franchise suffers some sort of crisis, and every year, this owner makes the right FA/WW pick-up. This owner ensures this team is never out of the running for anything. 5.) Clarksville Mexican Infantry (0-0) Two certified ground-pounders and one highly hyped rookie give the MI guys considerable O-flex leverage. If one of the WRs step up for this team, and one of the three QBs return to his former glory days of point output, this team can be really dangerous. 6.) New York Sweat Shirts (0-0) While nabbing what was statistically the #1 QB of last season, this team also managed to get a few quality RBs and a steady, but "vanilla" WR to boot. I'm not sure how the Wheatley/Garner situation will completely pan out, but it seems this owner agrees with yours truly that Wheatley will get the important calls on the goalline. 7.) Colorado Cowboys (0-0) I suppose if you're only going to have one viable RB option, it might as well be Edgerrin James. Griese, if able to stay healthy, should shine, but I predict this team will peak-and- valley its way to the middle of the pack if four WRs are started each week. They've all got potential, but they'll seldom meet that potential simultaneously. 8.) Rotten Roadkill BBQ's (0-0) This team moves up if WR A.Freeman doesn't act like a Prima Donna again this year. Rich Gannon is due to hit the wall soon, but I don't think it will be this season, and Richie Anderson could surprise, as his coach wants the Pro-Bowler to get more action. This guy caught more passes last year than Marshall Faulk, so activate your sleeper-trade radars, everyone. 9.) Audubon Nipple Rubbers (0-0) If Terrell Davis and Garrison Hearst perform like they did in '97 or '98, this is a top-5 team at worst. Heck, throw Antowain Smith in that category as well, and this could be dangerous. I don't think it will happen, but this team has arguably the league's best one-deep line-up of QB/RB/WR/TE. 10.) Wenona Whoop Asses (0-0) Perhaps the letters "-ed" should be added to the end of the middle word in this team's moniker. Questions abound up and down the O-flex options, especially amongst the WRs. Favorable answers will of course translate to a more favorable ranking in this poll, as well as wins, which may be slightly more important. 11.) GangGreen Gangstas (0-0) Just a few too many RBs playing "second fiddle" in their offenses right now. Mike Anderson and Charlie Garner are most likely to step up, but you can't really rule out Tony Richardson and Travis Prentice from doing it, either. One or more WRs will have to step up and pick up the slack. 12.) Italian Wise Guys (0-0) With most of the teams, I've tried to describe a few conditions which could occur for the team to move up a few notches in the rankings. I cannot realistically do that with this team. With 0 (zero) viable RB options, one must have more than McNabb, Moss, Moulds, and a good defense to show for it in order to be competitive in this league. Good luck to everyone. |
