Week 1 POWER RANKINGS!

     The fish and chips have returned from battle and we have a bunch of teams on pace for undefeated and winless seasons.  Please overreact accordingly.  Here's 3 notable individual performances in week 1 that are worthy of discussion.  
  1. Peyton Manning- (46pts) The ultra-ironic elephant in the room is that Manning and his 46 points were sitting on Team Favre's bench for week 1.  I guess he had the last laugh though since he won his matchup with Brees at the helm and still owns Manning.  With the offensive talent Peyton has around him he seems to be as valuable as any fantasy quarterback going forward.  I'll go out on a limb and say no one scores more than 46 for us this year.  No quote yet from team owner McConnell on who's starting week 2 amidst this heated quarterback controversy.

    1. Colin Kaepernick- (30pts) Kaepernick has been a fantasy darling ever since his debut just over a year ago.  The potential is clearly there, however the argument is how he ranks compared to the elite QBs.  If week 1 is any indication, Kaepernick is proving he is more than a running quarterback as he threw for 400+ versus Green Bay in a game where he didn't need legs.

    2. Adrian Peterson- (28pts) - I won't waste another spot singing Peterson's greatness again, but I feel like I have to this week.  He did the impossible last year coming back from ACL surgery and rushing for 2000 yards and Peterson just continues to amaze.  He never seems to lose a step or an ounce of power as he combined for 111 total yards and 3 touchdowns.
    Adrian freaking Peterson everyone

        These power rankings will be based primarily on performance with roster talent also factored in slightly.   Major injuries or stars returning from injuries can also effect rank.

      Good luck in week 2 to everyone but the Men of Troy.  I'm dubbing Skins v. Favre the game of the week.  Right now Favre has Brees pencilled in, we'll see if that changes.  Either way I'm going with SkinsWillWin2014 to move to 2-0.
