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.

Cedric Benson became the first RB to go over 100 yards against the Ravens defense in ...

It includes the trade of Braylon Edwards to the Jets and the re-introduction of Michael Crabtree to the 49ers after his signing earlier this week.

Other changes of note include a significant boost to Giants WR Steve Smith as he goes from an 81 to an 87. Darrelle Revis has mo...
