As we move into Week 10 of the NFL season, there are still two teams that are undefeated and atop the power rankings. Outside of the Colts ' and Saints ' fabulous starts, we still have other teams like the Vikings , Patriots , Steelers , and even Bengals that are closing in on the rankings.
Below we have a short write-up on the top-10 teams on our power rankings for this season. These teams are important to know, as they are playing well and should continue to help fantasy teams.
Furthermore, pay attention to the worst teams on the list, as they are the ones you want to have your players going against down the stretch.
1. Saints (8-0)
Drew Brees and the Saints are still winning ball games, but the past three weeks they've been close to losing.
Looking past this team's recent struggles, it is easy to see they are vastly improved from last year. The big turnaround for this team is when they picked up defensive coordinator Greg Williams.
His impact on the defense has given them respectability on that side of the football, not to mention fantasy football relevance.
2. Colts (8-0)
Peyton Manning and the Colts' offense have slowed down in touchdown production the past two weeks. If they have any shot of staying undefeated this week against the Patriots, they will need to turn up the point-scoring once again.
3. Vikings (7-1)
Brett Favre has made a major impact on this team, as they now have balance on offense. With Favre at the helm, forgotten receivers like Sidney Rice have come out of the wood work and become fantasy starting players.
As long as Favre continues to stay healthy, this team will continue to roll and could be atop the NFL power rankings soon.
4. Patriots (6-2)
The Patriots' offense has come on strong in the past three games and Tom Brady is looking better all the time. If the Colts continue their struggles in scoring offense, I fully expect the Patriots to win this weekend.
Going forward, I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots' defense gets stronger and they end up in the Super Bowl.
5. Steelers (6-2)
Sure the Bengals are 6-2 and have beaten the Steelers this year, but I'm still going with the champs. The Steelers proved on Monday night against the Broncos why they are still one of the best teams in football.
With the emergence of Rashard Mendenhall in the running game, the Steelers can now lean on the running game when they need to. I expect them to win this weekend against the Bengals.
6. Bengals (6-2)
This season has been a pleasant surprise for the Bengals. With Cedric Benson doing his best Rudi Johnson impersonation and the defense emerging, this team is ready for the playoffs.
Cincinnati has already beaten the Ravens twice this season and beat the Steelers. This week, they play the Steelers in Pittsburgh and I expect the Bengals to lose. If the Bengals do in fact win, they will be the clear favorite to win the AFC North.
7. Broncos (6-2)
The past two weeks have been tough for the once undefeated Denver Broncos. This weekend they should get healthy with a blowout win against the Redskins .
