Funny how things change in a week...
32. Kansas City Chiefs (0-3): I had the Chargers in my survivor pool; so this scrappy, injury-riddled group gave me a little scare in Week 3.
31. Indianapolis Colts (0-3)
30. St. Louis Rams (0-3): Sam Bradford truly misses Danny Amendola. Rookie TE Lance Kendricks needs to step up.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2): How is Blaine Gabbert supposed to develop with that receiving corps?
28. Minnesota Vikings (0-3)
27. Miami Dolphins (0-3)
26. Denver Broncos (1-2)
25. Carolina Panthers (1-2)
24. Cincinnati Bengals (1-2)
23. Seattle Seahawks (1-2)
22. Arizona Cardinals (1-2): It's really negligible between the Cards and Seahawks, so I'll take Larry Fitzgerald as the tiebreaker.
21. Cleveland Browns (2-1): Very impressive that they were able to squeak out a win without brusier Peyton Hillis.
20. San Francisco 49ers (2-1): They may end up winning the NFC West by default. Ugly football being played out there.
19. Chicago Bears (1-2): If the Lions maintain their current pace, Jay Cutler's Bears may eventually become the forgotten team in the NFC North.
18. Tennessee Titans (2-1): Soooo, I traded Roddy White for Kenny Britt prior to Week 3...ouch for me, ouch for Tennessee.
17. Washington Redskins (2-1)
16. Philadelphia Eagles (1-2): Until they shore up their offensive line, they cannot be trusted.
15. Atlanta Falcons (1-2): I laughed when I saw that Sports Illustrated's Peter King picked Atlanta to win the Super Bowl. They are probably the best 1-2 team, though.
14. Oakland Raiders (2-1): If Darren McFadden can stay healthy, I believe the Raiders could upset the Chargers in the long run. I was extremely impressed by Oakland in Week 3 against my Jets, and reinforcements (Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford) are on the way.
13. Tampa Bay Bucs (2-1): I respect that this unit refuses to let up or back down, regardless of the circumstances.
12. New York Giants (2-1): I'm a big Ahmad Bradshaw guy. On the other side of the ball, man, this defense really beat the crap out of Michael Vick.
11. Dallas Cowboys (2-1): After a fourth quarter meltdown in the opener, much-maligned QB Tony Romo has responded with two consecutive fourth quarter comebacks while suffering through injury. Kudos.
10. San Diego Chargers (2-1): They've failed to impress me to this point, but I do like Ryan Mathews. He looks explosive, breaking out like LeSean McCoy did a season ago.
9. Houston Texans (2-1)
8. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1): Like the Chargers against the broken-down Chiefs, the Steelers also nearly blew an easy win over the depleted Colts.
7. New York Jets (2-1): Their offensive line looks horrible without All-Pro center Nick Mangold, their veteran receivers are failing to get separation, RB Shonn Greene has been a disappointment and their team defensive speed is down. I'm losing a little faith.
6. Detroit Lions (3-0): I'm still a bit skeptical.
5. New England Patriots (2-1): Their defensive play has been nothing short of embarrassing.
4. Buffalo Bills (3-0): I have plenty of faith in Harvard man Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I still can't believe they're in first place after three weeks. Awesome storyline.
3. New Orleans Saints (2-1)
2. Baltimore Ravens (2-1): Everything seemed to be back in order against the ragged Rams.
1. Green Bay Packers (3-0): I'll definitely be surprised...if and when they lose a game this season.
Story Notes:
Greatest gainer:
Buffalo Bills from 13 to 4.
Biggest loser:
Philadelphia Eagles from 6 to 16.
