Week 16: 2009 NFL Team Power Rankings | Fantasy Football Team Rankings

Indianapolis Colts v Jacksonville Jaguars

The Colts still have a chance to remain undefeated, and I believe they are going to try and do just that. This team is not letting anything on in the press and acting like it doesn't matter, but I'm sure behind closed doors it does.

Still, if the Jets come in early and pop this team in the mouth with hard hitting, it could lead to the benching of key players. The last thing the Colts want to get into is a hard hitting, blood bath and get their entire team beat up.

Below we have a short right up on the top ten 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 teams you want to have your players going against for the fantasy football super bowl.

1. Colts (14-0)

The Colts won against the Jaguars, and now they are the only team with an undefeated record as the Saints lost to the Cowboys. Many fantasy football owners are wondering if their players from the Colts will play this week, and I believe they will.

Look for Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark to all play this weekend against the Jets. While all three will play it is going to be interesting to see how effective they will be against the Jets solid pass defense.

2. Saints (13-1)

The Saints still need to win another game to clinch home field in the NFC. Look for the Saints to come out strong against the Buccaneers this weekend.

Get your fantasy players in for this game as the Saints should play a normal game for their standards.

3. Chargers (11-3)

It's time to give the Chargers all the respect in the world as they have now beaten the Cowboys and Bengals in back to back weeks. The Chargers are on a very long winning streak and should end up with the No.2 seed in the AFC and a first round bye.

4. Vikings (11-3)

The Vikings had a chance to keep pace for home field in the NFC with a win last week but the team laid an egg against the Panthers.

I still hold out hope that this team will bounce back next week against the Bears, but I'm concerned about Brett Favre playing in the cold weather.

5. Eagles (10-4)

The Eagles have another big game this week against the hungry Broncos at home. I like the Broncos in this matchup because they have a good secondary and should limit the Eagles big plays down the field.

If the Eagles can win this game I will be very impressed as they will have to find other ways to win than just having a deep passing game.

6. Bengals (9-5)

This past week has been a very trying time for the Bengals players and their organization. With the passing of Chris Henry last week it was hard to know what type of effort this team was really going to be able to make.

In the end, the Bengals lost to the Chargers in San Diego on the last second of the game. Look for the Bengals to have a big win this week against the Chiefs in Cincinnati as they should lock up the division with the win.

7. Packers (9-5)

Green Bay lost a great game to the Steelers on the final play of the game as Ben Roethlisberger had over 500 yards passing. Fortunately for the Packers, they play the Seahawks at home this weekend.

With a win, the Packers should wrap up a playoff spot and should play some good football when they get into the playoffs.

8. Cowboys (9-5)

The Cowboys earned some respect with a big win against the Saints in New Orleans. Tony Romo played another solid game as he has yet to throw an interception in December. Look for the Cowboys to continue to play hungry against the exploited Redskins next week.

9. Patriots (9-5)

This team hasn't won in pretty fashion the past two weeks, but they have found a way to win games. Look for the Patriots to beat the Jaguars this weekend at home and clinch the AFC East in the process.

10. Cardinals (9-5)

The Cardinals should wrap up their first ten win season (regular season) in a long time with a victory over the Rams this weekend. However, I will be interested to see just how effective they will be and how much they will win by this week.

In the past two weeks, the Cards have been embarrassed by the 49ers and almost lost to the Lions. This team needs to turn things around if they hope to make a long playoff run again this season.
