Pigpen Weekly: CFF Rankings Week 4 (QB/RB)

Hello pigs, welcome back. As we head into another full slate on Saturday, here are some rankings for the QB and RB positions.
Those who were subscribed last season will recall that I started a weekly series of QB/RB rankings that would often span 60-70 players per position each week. This was in part due to the fact that the waiver wire series had effectively run its course by November, so I had more time to spend on weekly rankings. Today’s article is a top 15 at QB and RB, with explanations included.
In the latter stages of the season I will do expanded entries at the QB and RB positions. While I’m still producing weekly waiver wire reports, it is just not feasible in terms of workload for me to output rankings to that detail currently each week.
Note: As we get more information each week, in theory the better these rankings will be. Week 4’s should be better than week 3’s, but still fairly limited in the grand scheme of things. These rankings serve as a guideline, but are not meant to be exhaustive. In the latter stages of the season, these rankings will be more accurate with more information to calibrate on.

John Mateer (Wazzou) vs. SJSU: It’s hard to argue for anyone besides Mateer the Magician right now. With SJSU coming to town this week, there isn’t much reason to think the good times won’t keep rolling. Fantrax says SJSU is a tough opponent vs. QBs, but then again, they’ve played Air Force, Kennessaw State and Sacremento State. We know for a fact that two of those teams are very run heavy programs. So keep in mind that the stats of who’s good on defence vs. what right now are highly skewed due to sample size. I’m starting Mateer without reservations until further notice.
