It's Monday and there are huge playoff implications riding on the Monday night game tonight. Congratulations to all that have already made it into the Championship. It's the week of Christmas and the Brotherhood continues to  get all of their readers a huge Christmas present in the form of being your League Champion. We start the week off with the major fantasy injuries and what potential impact it could have in your quest for the title. Most owners made it through the first 15 games of week 15 relatively unscathed. The biggest most obvious injury is to DeAngelo Williams who went down early in the first quarter. The Panthers never really needed him so it will be debatable if he could have returned if necessary. Hopefully you handcuffed him with RB Jonathan Stewart who... read more

It's Week 15 and Fantasy Football Brothers has you covered as we go into Sunday's games. It is important to keep an eye on injury lists as witnessed by last night's game and the late scratch of Jeremy Shockey with a toe injury. We hope you owners who had him in were able to get him out of your lineups in time. This could be the last straw with Shockey as he is a frustrating player to own, and it is my bet that he screwed alot of people on Thursday night. There are alot of notable players on the injury report this week, players that fantasy owners have relied upon this year to carry their teams. Hopefully your team has enough depth to plug and play if your player is ruled out. Keep it right here and we do the work for you,... read more

The Brotherhood is a divided house this week. There are those of us who have the mentality: "Stick with what got you there. Don't over analyze. Don't over-estimate match-ups. Play your studs." Then there are those of us, myself included, that are gamblers. We like to roll the dice. We love to analyze and look for the sneaky play.  Match-ups matter. Call me a waiver wire whore, but every year players come out of the woodwork and make fantasy contributions to championship contenders. Who will be this years Ron Dayne, Ryan Grant or Pierre Thomas? Running back is the most grueling position in all of sports. Hit after hit, these players go through so much wear and tear over the coarse of a season that injuries are bound to happen. The life expectancy of an NFL running back is extremely short. But with every injury comes... read more

Welcome to week 15!  If you have made it this far congratulations, but don't pat yourself on the back just yet. There is still work to be done and it starts at the top with the quarterbacks.  Week 15 offers some difficult match ups from some of the previously safer options.  After the top ten passers it becomes kind of a crap shoot.  I wouldn't be very comfortable heading into the weekend with anyone outside the top 10.  Difficult match ups and the weather will definitely play a roll and are sure to cause some sub par performances.  One guy I'm not worried about is Kurt Warner.  I know he didn't produce great numbers against the 49ers but they came into that game with a solid plan and executed it to perfection.  That will not happen over the next two weeks when the Cardinals face Detroit and St.Louis.  The only thing I would be... read more

Fridays are final rank time here at the Brotherhood. We are rocking right along giving you the reader the ultimate Holiday gift. A championship! Hopefully along with the trophy you get a financial reward(Fantasy Football Brothers does not condone any wagering/gambling of monies) Something that will help you take out your significant other to show thanks and appreciation for all of their support during the fantasy year(Yes you should tip your commish a few bucks)(Fake Money Wink Wink). The Journey starts right here,right now with the running back rankings. We spend hours in the lab digesting information, discussing pros and cons, looking for the ins and out, trends that we look for and what each of us see when looking at game tapes. Fantasy Football is a 24 hour a day job... read more

The wide receiver position is the deepest position out there, but it is also the most difficult to spot to fill. Fantasy GMs ponder their options week in and week out in attempts to put their best combination of play-makers together. Wide-outs can be streaky plays. Injuries and inconsistencies have plagued the position. Rookies Jeremy Maclin and Percy Harvin are the most recent casualties, but the rest of the crop appears ready for Sunday. The Vikes were clearly not the same team with Harvin out of the line-up. He's frequently been on the IR with "illness", but last week was the first time he sat out. Lingering concerns have Harvin owners worried. He continues to miss practice and will most likely be  a game-time decision. The young receiver suffers from recurrent migraine head aches that can be completely debilitating. We'll keep our ears open. Hines' hammy... read more

Welcome to Week 15, the second round of the playoffs in most leagues. Getting a kicker with a good matchup can be invaluable to your team, the problem being kickers are about as reliable and predictable as the stock market. David Akers of the Eagles is this week's number one kicker. Have a sit/start, or waiver wire question? – Send it in. The Brotherhood answers ALL questions FREE of charge.

It's Week 15 and for most people that means it is the second round of your fantasy playoffs. As owners we are one step away from the prize pool, so this truly is a make or break week. Having a good D/ST's is magnified this time of year as they can net you bonus points in your league, points that can help you out if players in other areas have stumbled. The sleeper defense last week was the San Francisco 49ers who dismantled the Arizona Cardinals last week. Fantasy Football Brother's number one defense this week is the Denver Broncos who take on the Oakland Raiders at Mile High Stadium. Have a sit/start, or waiver wire question? – Send it in.

Fridays mean it final rank time here at the Brotherhood. It's Week 15 which can only mean it is the big time. It's playoff time.  With several key matchups this week, we lay it all on the line for you.  This is a big week for you owners still lucky enough to be submitting lineups.  I just hope you have the luxury of plugging in one of the top tight ends.  Gates has been one of the hottest tight ends in football and he should keep it going against the Bengals.  The same goes for Vernon Davis who has a solid match up vs the Eagles.  Witten is another guy who has heated up a little bit.  He should find some room to work Saturday night.  Celek is a little nicked up but... read more

Thursdays we unleash our mailbag. Now that most leagues are in the playoffs it's time to get as much information out to you the reader. We are weary of the paralysis from over analysis phenomenon that inflicts millions of fantasy owners during the playoff season. The Brotherhood looks to cure what ails you. The playoffs begin tonight with the Colts and Jags. Millions of Colt owners are panicing due to the fact that the Colts could pull their starters at any time. I really think as long as the Colts continue to win their starters will be out on the field as much as possible. They are chasing history and each and every player knows this and wants it. Yes the ultimate goal is to win the Big game, but there is still no guarantee that the Colts are... read more
