Next, hook... I apologize for not getting to your question yesterday. No, there wasn't any database error with Rhodes. He had 14 fantasy points (per scoring system used for our rankings) over the past two weeks... He posted 9 fantasy points against the Pats Week 2. Those two items were enough - at least in my mind - to keep him out of the top-50 this week. To boot, he's had more than 5 solos only twice all season. He was in a group of players I had pegged for #40-50, but didn't make the cut.
I can now see why my rankings are so different: my league emphasizes "game changing" plays like sacks and ints (4 points each) over tackles and assists (1 and 0 points), making James Harrison a beast for us and simply a risk in your format.
There'll be a few other corrections to the rankings here in a short while.
Thanks!
