Week Six Ratings Change Suggestions
by 
Now that six weeks are in the books the undefeated teams have established themselves as legitimate contenders and may be deserving of some more attention in the ratings. The Saints, Colts, Broncos, and Saints have all proven they are for real. On the other end of the spectrum there are teams like the Titans, Redskins, Bucs, and Rams who should take a hit in their ratings based on their performance this season.
Looking at specific players maybe it was premature to slide Tom Brady down to a 96. He shredded the Titans and broke a record in the process throwing for five TDs in a single quarter. Brett Favre has undeniably been great this season and probably will move up from the 85 he currently has. Elvis Dumervil added another two sacks and a forced fumble and should go higher than the 83 he has now. Mark Sanchez may just be an 81 but after the last three weeks he should drop some. In the three straight losses he has thrown just one TD while being picked off eight times. The Titans threw for negative yardage against the Patriots so Kerry Collins and Vince Young are probably still overrated at 74 and 71 respectively.
This update should also see some injury movement with Antwan Odom and Kris Jenkins out for the season and Lofa Tatupu out for at least an extended period of time. As always leave your thoughts in the comments on what players are deserving of either a boost or a drop in the ratings in the upcoming roster update.

Big Ben should at least b a 95. he's leading the league n pass yds and completion pct. also i think the steelers o-line pass blocking should go up a bit. and how could u 4get hinds ward who's leading the league in recieving. athe sttlers overall offense should get a boost. and mendenhall is steady improving every week [304 yds 4tds] n the last 3 games. And i think heath miller shld b up a bit he is second only 2 dallas clark for te's

NO NO NO You have it all wrong. Im happy that the steelers havent moved all that much. They have only had two winning teams on their schedule thus far ( Bears, Bengals) and lost both games. I dont think u deserve a boost for hines mendenhall and ben for tourching the lions, titans, and browns defense in the stats columns. thats ridiculous. Lets see how they do in thier next five games with the only lack luster team being the chiefs and im picking the chiefs to win that game.

The Saints O-line is and has been underrated for 3 years. Better then the for mentioned Falcons . One Sack this season, 2nd in the NFL in rushing. Giants and Eagles overrated. Saints, Vikes, Broncos, Indy underrated.

Saints D- leads the league in Turn overs, are top 5 in the NFL. Need another boost there. The CB are playing lights out, and the D-line has been stout.

how about have some basic sentence structure BEFORE you hit "reply" smarty. and how about NO….updating transactions like trades, injuries, number changes and depth charts should be every week..ratings changes every FOUR. you can't tell anything in a week…
tell me something GENIUS, should we drop miles austin 6 points next week when he has one catch? because that makes about as much sense as raising his overall 6 points after a big game against 1 win Kansas City…

The Titans suck, this we all know… But Chris Johnson is 2nd in the league in rushing and averaging 6.3 ypc is unheard of for a starter, his rating should be around a 92… Ronnie Brown is a 94 with one season over 1,000yds and barely at that. Kenny Britt also needs a boost or Maclin needs a decrease. Britt is leading all rookie WRs in a lot of statistical categories and Maclin has only had one good game. But his rating on last update has already jumped Britt's ?
Eddie Royal needs a speed boost after Monday night.
Sidney Rice needs a boost.
Thomas Davis needs a boost, having a great season.

Sidney Rice is really good

Bump up Sidney Rice, I was at the Steelers game today and this guy is the real deal. He hasn't been much up until this year since he's been drafted because he hasn't had a decent QB throwing to him until now.
