Pewter Power Rankings is a weekly feature compiled by PewterReport.com’s Fantasy Football Analyst Andrew Scavelli every Tuesday during the regular season. Each week Scavelli will rank the league’s teams from best to worst based on their performance and outlook going forward at that point of the season, with a focus on the Buccaneers.

CURRENT BUCCANEERS RANKING: 11 (+10)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last week I thought I might have been a little generous placing the Bucs at 21 to begin the year, but after their showing in New Orleans on Sunday they clearly proved that they’re not going to be a bottom 10 team this season. Perhaps moving them up 10 spots this week is another big move but their game against the Saints, who were my third-ranked team going into the season, was an even bigger win. With the way the offense carried over their dominant preseason performance into week one, it’s hard to say that their production was a fluke and this team looks like it’s going to be scoring a lot of points this season. If Tampa Bay’s defense can step up and play to their maximum potential like the other side of the ball is doing, the Bucs may be able to find their way into the top 10 soon enough.
