In an effort to curb the idiocy that always comes with fantasy football, take a gander at our weekly rankings, headlined by a pair of Broncos occupying the top spots at their respective positions.

For personal fantasy football sit/start advice or recommendations on how to cure a brutal Tuesday morning football hangover, shoot me a tweet: @adoughty88
