2021 NFL Power Rankings: Week 4

 After three weeks to start the season, I honestly have no idea what to make of the NFL landscape right now. Record dictated much of these rankings, but I must admit that my gut tells me a lot of the teams in the Top 10 are going to end up frauds.



At least two of the AFC West teams are going to end up being frauds. For now, we’ll say they’ll be the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. Another team in the Top 10 I think will end up bring frauds are the Carolina Panthers.

The Denver Broncos cracked the Top 5 this week and people will fade that and I get it, they have played a bunch of scrubs. If you dig a little deeper into those games you will find a Broncos team that is tied for the league lead in point differential at +50 through three games. Their defense held those scrubs to a mere 10 points a game, with 6 of those coming off a special teams error. The Broncos are a good football team and the real test for them begins in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Here are you full Week 4 power rankings and definitely subject to some major reordering over the next couple of weeks as we sort through the haves and have nots.

Marcas Grant's 2021 NFL Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 2

Image
 Many things about fantasy football are unpredictable. It's the uncertainty that brings us back to the fake game year after year. If we knew for sure what was going to happen, this wouldn't be as fun. More importantly, I'd be out of a job. So … hooray for chaos!  But not everything about fantasy is so murky. The biggest known heading into Week 1 is that we really didn't know much. We spent plenty of time speculating. The entire offseason was one big fever dream of what we think could happen this year. Alas, what we wish for and what we get are frequently not the same.   In that spirit, we lick our Trey Sermon and Michael Pittman-sized wounds, take stock of what we learned, and try to get better in Week 2. Let's go.  Broncos nation wasn't particularly thrilled with Teddy Bridgewater  being named the starter, but he acquitted himself well in the season opener. This week, the matchup is even more in his favor against a Jaguars defense that made Tyrod Taylor

New Ravens LB Justin Houston: 'I was so close' to signing with Steelers

Image
 With every free-agent signing comes news of the teams that missed out on said talent. New Ravens edge rusher Justin Houston revealed Saturday that he turned down a few better offers to sign with the perennial AFC contender. One of those overlooked clubs just so happens to be Baltimore's biggest rival. "I was so close to signing with the Steelers," he told reporters. "That was crazy. They [were] one of the teams I was considering." Considering his status as one of the NFL's more respected pass rushers, Houston heading to B-More instead of the Steel City could be a move that notably impacts both squads down the road. Not to mention, any player's decision to spurn the Steelers for the Ravens, or vice versa, adds another smoldering albeit unneccesary coal to the blazing fire that is arguably the greatest rivalry in NFL history. It's unlikely Houston factored this long-standing beef into his choice but the veteran is now a part of the latest chapter in t
