Week 4 CPP Rankings

After getting the highest points prize in Week 3, and then improving on that score, I thought I'd at least be in the running for highest points in Week 4. But a couple of elderly men had other plans, and led Weissbard to the highest point total we are likely to see all year.

Seeing as my math was horribly incorrect last week, and I'm short on time, I'm skipping the Division Captain update and getting right to the...

Week 4 CPP Rankings:

1. Esco - CPP: 197.58, Last Week: 1st
It's hard to dispute Esco's dominance so far. His weekly RB2/Flex dilemma will be a moot point if everyone else keeps performing the way they have been. Even if injury strikes one of his starters, he might have the deepest bench in the league. At this rate he will be resting his starters for the playoffs by Week 9.

2. Kumpf - CPP: 172.33, Last Week: 3rd
I finally got out from behind Barnard, and I gotta tell you, it feels great. I have the #1 WR, the #1 TE, the #5 QB... and that's it. I don't think it's enough to make a Stevens Bowl run, but it should get me into the playoffs.

3. AGD - CPP: 170.48, Last Week: 4th
Every time I look at this team I think it looks perfect, then see a glaring hole at RB2. You guys desperately need to package Marshall or Welker with Richardson and upgrade that spot, then move Tampa Mike into the starting lineup. That's all I have to say about that.

4. Ajay - CPP: 166.03, Last Week: 6th
Tough loss this week, and to be honest I had some big plans for this Danny Cook video, so I hope you don't let us all down. It looks like you stumbled into a starting TE with Fleener now that he's the only guy in town for Luck, and that was really your only week spot. This is a playoff team who will ultimately see its demise due to Vick/Pryor putting up an abysmal week.

5. Weissbard - CPP: 153.38, Last Week: 9th
I have to say, this team is looking better and better. Obviously last week's ridiculousness which included your kicker and DST won't happen again. But I can't see a way that the Broncos score under 35 points, Tony G won't just die already, and if DeMarco is healthy and Sproles is involved with the offense, this team looks pretty good. Unfortunately, DeMarco is bound to get hurt, and the Saints have too many options, so I see a 6-7 season for the Beezle.

6. Bennett - CPP: 150.30, Last Week: 5th
The collapse of this team is so inevitable, it's not even worth discussing. First you had Vereen out, Roddy banged up,  and now both Spiller and FJax hurt? You can barely field a full squad. Combine that with DeSean's already-happening regression as well as Kenbrell disappearing from the offense once Amendola and Gronk are back, and I can see an all-time low score in Bennett's future. I guess I discussed it anyway.

7. BAM - CPP: 144.38, Last Week: 7th
So far BAM is the only nickname I've seen, so I'm going with it for now. I was all set to destroy you guys this week for starting both Nate Washington and Donnie Avery, but that somehow worked out. This still stands as the most top-heavy team in the league, but at 3-1, it could very well be a playoff team.

8. Barnard - CPP:143.88, Last Week: 2nd
A week after doing nearly everything right in the CPP-sense, you did pretty much everything wrong. Outside of leaving a record amount of points on your bench, you also have a shocking amount of Pats and ex-Pats on your team. I know you don't know much football outside of them, but I would think that some diversification would help your team's long term potential.

9. Joseph - CPP: 132.20, Last Week: 8th
The top 8 teams all have a decent shot at making the playoffs based on their team's talent. Anyone from here on out will likely need some lucky breaks to jump into the upper echelon of the league. I say this because we all know that Joseph is the self-proclaimed unluckiest fantasy football player ever. While he has caught some bad breaks in the past, hitching his season to the likes of RG3 and Gronk, while only have Malcom Floyd and Clifford Franklin at WR is not the most responsible way to run a team.

10. Alan - CPP: 122.20, Last Week: 13th
Muff Puff making moves! He may have had a rough loss, but he broke 100 for the first time, and that's a good sign for things to come. Despite oddly having an open slot on his roster, I like the way Team Masand is shaping up for the future. Maybe luck would start turning your way if your changed your team name to something like "Maybe I Can Hang."

11. Zacherman - CPP: 111.45, Last Week: 11th
A mysterious yet serious injury apparently has sidelined Z from his usual complaining, and it seems to have spread to his roster. It pains me to say it, but something is off with Ray Rice, so you need to use your WR depth upgrade that running game. I have a feeling we see a trade here in the next week, but will it be enough to overcome a possible 1-4 start?

12. Gutman - CPP: 107.43, Last Week: 12th
I really like the move Gutman made. Nick obviously needed a WR as badly as the Giants need a win, so Gutman sold high on Bell, bought low on Ridley, and got some QB insurance in case Kaepernick actually sucks. It's a pro move by the man who likely has the most trades in FALAFEL history. I still don't see this team going anywhere, but he will at least be respectable from here on out.

13. Donnie - CPP: 102.98, Last Week: 10th
I reeeeally wanted you to take down Z with just 65 points, but Breesus said no. Whether your luck has run out or not, those 3 wins are in the books, and you still get to play Joseph, Alan, Kimmel and Gutman, so if you catch another break or two, this could be an improbable playoff team.

14. Kimmel - CPP: 88.48, Last Week: 14th
The real-fake Kimmel jokes have been flying for weeks, but this is getting ridiculous. With your Packers on a bye last week you had no chance, and you'll likely need to go at least 7-2 the rest of the way to make the playoffs, so it seems like you're in must-win territory. ESPN has you as a 17 point favorite against an AP-less AGD, so the schedule gods have given you your chance.
