This week will be the yang to last week's yin. In other words for you non-Asiaphiles, I'll just say nice things about each team. Sincere flattery, I hope.
1. Tuna - We have a new #1 this year! Aaron Rogers is now officially the #1 hottest ( as in fantasy scoring, not looks) QB, scoring about 6 more points per game than Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford, the next highest QBs. In addition to possessing the league's longest win streak, Tuna has scored over 80 points a week during that streak. That is what you call momentum.
2. Andrew - LeSean McCoy is a very consistent point producer, and Andrew has the #2 QB, #2 RB, and #2 WR. That is a strong set of starters. Marques Colston is coming back from his injury strongly, and Andrew still has a 2-game lead in his division.
3. Bill - Eagles D lived up to their potential last week. Bill is also managing his roster quite well, being #2 in managerial efficiency. RBs have been solid throughout the year, and the WRs have had good games as well.
4. Donny - Donny has the best set of young potential keepers: Cam Newton, Ryan Mathews, Calvin Johnson, and Jermichael Finley. If they continue to develop, Donny has a very solid foundation for years to come. Week 10 game vs. Tuna may be the one that determines the division champion.
5. Kevin - Two trades later, this is a much different team than the one maligned last week. While in the short-term the trades may be a wash or even worse (Turner scored 19 pts vs. Thomas and Green putting up 12), Kevin now has a solid set of keepers for 2012 while staying somewhat competitive. Like Donny, this is a good group of young talent. Only Brandon Marshall and Matt Cassel have more than 4 years of experience amongst Kevin's starters.
6. Lily - It was a tough call whether to put Lily or Hai here. Going by an outlook-based ranking, Lily's main players are turning around and getting healthier. This week shall be a bad bye week for Lily. However, Fred Jackson and the 49er defense return in week 8, along with a healthier Antonio Gates. Lily shall have a powerful and complete starting roster from QB to DST in weeks 8 through 10.
7. Hai - In terms of age philosophy, Hai is the opposite of Donny. Hai has constructed a team with the two best "mature" players (Michael Turner and Steve Smith) serving as his foundation. Hai also has the best backup QB (Romo). By riding the "D&D" train, his Dallas and Detroit players make him a difficult opponent on any Sunday this year.
8. Victor - You may have not noticed this little fact due to his record: Victor has scored in the upper half of all teams since week 3. QB position looks to be a bit more settled and one advantage of having players of similar abilities is that bye week replacements are not a sharp drop-off.
9. Katy - Still has the #1 scoring average RB, and Packers DST are facing a rookie QB not named Cam Newton.
10. PJ - Still has the best pair of RBs in McFadden and Peterson, so his scoring floor is not that low. Match up Andrew Luck with the 2 RBs and Andre Johnson in 2012, PJ will be scary.

-There was a 1st round pick involved as well, it wasn't a straight-up
-The offer was before the start of 2010 season, when LDT wasn't with Jets yet
