DWill is getting all the hype, but Stewart is quietly producing.

Today the Brotherhood rummages through their mail and answers some of the questions we have received this week. Owners in Fantasy Nation are trying to put themselves in a position for the playoff run to win league championships by making trades, find a great bye week filler and scouring their league waiver wires to dominate their league. As usual the names of our readers have been changed to protect the innocent, and spelling, and grammar have been thrown out the window. You can be a part of the Brotherhood too and maybe find your way into next weeks mailbag. If you have a question for us, we are always here to answer it for you. Become a fan on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. WELCOME TO THE BROTHERHOOD! Fantasy Football Brothers is very excited to announce a huge change coming that we will release on November 1st.

Encore! Encore!

Week 6 of the NFL saw a huge surge in points for fantasy teams as eight quarterbacks went over 300 yards and that includes Ben Roethlisberger who passed for 417 yards. If your team ran into any of the Patriots it was not a good scene as Tom Brady threw for six touchdowns and Randy Moss was on the receiving end of three of those. Needless to say the points came in bunches and many leagues saw high scores across the board. Now on to week 7 and the scoring should continue as teams start to fire on all cylinders offensively. There are some explosive offenses in the NFL this year, with the likes of the New Orleans Saints (38.4 ppg.),  Minnesota Vikings (31.5 ppg.), New York Giants (29.7 ppg.), Baltimore Ravens (28.2 ppg.), Indianapolis Colts (27.4 ppg.), New England Patriots (27.2 ppg.), Philadelphia Eagles (27.2 ppg.),... read more

Williams Put Some Of That Bust Talk To Bed After Running Wild On The Tampa Defense Sunday: Up Next Buffalo

Every Monday and Tuesday Fantasy Football Brothers takes a 1ST LOOK around the NFL where we provide instant analysis of what it all means to you in fantasy nation. Our first look today is at the Running Back spot. Week 7 has a ton of teams on byes this week, and the elite backs are hit especially hard. 40% of the Top ten backs in scoring are out this week with Maurice Jones-Drew,Chris Johnson,Ray Rice,and Kevin Smith out, I know you said to yourself Kevin Smith top ten? Really? That's a true testament to the state of the running back position in fantasy football and all because of my least favorite subject in the world the R.B.B.C. Running Back By Committee, which should be renamed to something that is more fitting that would truly give an idea on how those four little letters have killed fantasy owners across the land.... read more

With Mason, Marshall, Sims-Walker, Megatron and Housh all on byes, teams are "going deep"  into their bench to find fill-ins. Moss and Welker take their New England high flying aerial assault over seas with an enticing play vs. Tampa.  Michael Crabtree makes his NFL debut for the Niners. The Austins - Miles and Collie, set out to prove they're more than one-week-wonders. Steve Breaston may get the chance to start with Boldin hurt. Steve Smith looks to finally get back on track, and Braylon Edwards has the pleasure of being blanketed by Nnamdi Asomugha.

1ST LOOK: TE RANKS WEEK 7

Posted by in Fantasy Advice,Ranks,Tight Ends on Oct 19th 2009 and last modified on Oct 20th 2009. (Print This)

The Tight End position is as deep as ever. Sleepers like Heath Miller, Brent Celek, Vernon Davis and Visanthe Shiancoe have all out-produced expectations. This season has turned into the year of the Tight End, as many teams are adjusting to get their big men involved in their offensive schemes. Having a solid TE often makes up for any insecurities in your WR corps and can often be the difference between winning and losing. Have a sit/start, waiver wire, or trade question – Send it in.

Snow? Snow Problem!

Every Monday and Tuesday Fantasy Football Brothers takes a 1ST LOOK around the NFL where we provide instant analysis of what it all means to you in fantasy nation. Today we check out our HIT or MISS? and analyze the studs and the duds.  MJD met our expectations after being the number one ranked RB, and Tom Brady and Company put up some silly numbers in a winter wonderland for Patriot fantasy owners, and turned into a white out nightmare if you faced the Pats players. In the Miss section I uncover a disturbing trend amongst my Miss players, the Power of 3 and it is not a good thing.

Every Monday and Tuesday Fantasy Football Brothers takes a 1ST LOOK around the NFL where we provide instant analysis of what it all means to you in fantasy nation. Yesterday it was first announced that WR Calvin Johnson was active only to be later disputed by ESPN's Adam Schefter that Megatron was actually out, scary staff for owners. Our 1ST LOOK at injuries that happened yesterday have some potential huge impact. Big names like A.P., and Boldin are always important to keep an eye one. There might be another lead back in New England this will be the third different starter in as many games.
