The above are based on a final look at everyone's rosters. I updated the ratings for all players in the league this morning, and ran a script that returns a score for each roster. The score is determined by a weighted look at position strength, so having a solid trio at QB-WR-WR will be perceived as more valuable as having a completely studly trio at FB-TE-LG, for example.

NOW you tell me....

Punx as the 9th best team ? --- surely a coding error....

To be fair... you do have an awesome Punter.

Looking at your roster, you're no worse than mediocre anywhere, and your defense is well above average.

Wow, time to step it up for Parrish and Frye. Hopefully, my defense can get over this recent rash of injuries.

Hmm, we fell three spots from the original ranking... We need to take care of Vegas (17) who is directly in head of us to open the season up by making a statement!
