Fantasy Football Brothers is in full swing for the NFL Playoffs. The Fantasy Playoffs are a great way to keep your Fantasy season going....shhhhh...."Just don't tell the wife." If you missed out on a championship because Steven Jackson decided not to play in Week 16, then this is the time for redemption. These rankings are in depth and they provide for the leagues that do select backups at their respected positions. Fantasy Football Brothers takes a look at the Wide Receiver rankings for 2009 Playoff Leagues and these rankings are done by a last man standing type rules. This of course means the highest ranked players we believe will go the furthest in the NFL Playoffs. If you own Reggie Wayne and the Colts are knocked out, you only have one other wide receiver and your flex position (RB/WR) to net you points.... read more

The regular season of Fantasy Football is over, but that doesn't mean the season is over. Fantasy Football Brothers takes a look at the Quarterback rankings for 2009 Playoff Leagues and these rankings are done by a last man standing type rules. This of course means the highest ranked players we believe will go the furthest in the NFL Playoffs. If you own Peyton Manning and the Colts are knocked out, you are done with scoring points from the Quarterback position. While we don't think this will be the case, you never know, anything can happen in the post-season. Playoff Leagues draft only one player at a position and no moves are allowed, again your player gets knocked out and he is done, that is where the last man standing comes in. Leagues usually run with the basic 1-QB<--->2-RB<--->2-WR<--->1-RB/WR<--->1-TE<--->1-K<--->1-D/ST type roster. Have a... read more

Just when you think you're out.... They pull you back in! Going though fantasy withdrawal? Sad you didn't take home your league title? The post-season provides us all with an opportunity to make up for a disappointing season, or to add to an already dominant one. It allows us fantasy junkies to get one last high before going into hibernation for the off-season. Post-season success comes with the culmination of numerous factors: proper playoff forecasting, relying heavily on your studs, picking up appropriate sleepers, and as always - a little bit of luck. Let's take a look at some of this years sleepers that may be the key factor in contributing to your post-season dominance. Players that have made this list are those whom are either not well known, are getting an opportunity because of an injury, returning... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers takes a look at the Kickers heading into the NFL Playoffs. Many fantasy owners are new to Playoff Leagues, but it keeps the fantasy season going for those of you that missed out on a championship. The Kickers from the top two favorites (Colts and Saints) going into the NFL Playoffs come with caution, notably the Colts with Adam Vinatieri and Matt Stover. Is Vinatieri healthy enough to kick and has he been away too long? Will the Colts switch back to Stover? Another question rests with the Saints as Garrett Hartley got a case of the shanks to end the season. Would they switch back to John Carney at some point in the Playoffs? These ranking are in depth and they provide for the leagues that do select backups at their respected positions.

There are no moves to be monitored and you only set your lineup once. Your wife/girlfriend won't even realize your Fantasy Football season is still going, as long as you don't let the cat out of the bag.

This of course means the highest ranked players we believe will go the furthest in the NFL Playoffs. If you own the Saints D/ST and they are knocked out, you are done getting points.

The key to post-season fantasy success is the ability to properly forecast which teams will go on, and which will be one and done. You need to approach the NFL fantasy playoffs just like you would approach the NCAA Final Four Tournament. Prior to making player evaluations, you need to philosophize and fill out a bracket. After doing so, only then can you properly rank your players. You need to get a solid balance of one/two seeds, and first week players in order to make it to the next round. Sure Indy, New Orleans, Minny and San Diego are all stacked with talent, but you will not have access to them until week 2. You'll win your league if you are able to foresee the surprise team and then draft players from that squad. GMs who drafted Arizona Cardinals last year... read more

Heading into this years draft, the 09 fantasy season was deemed "The Year of the Wide Receiver". Drafts trends had wide-outs going early and often with the mentality that the top notch pass-catchers were safer plays than questionable runners. Stud wide receivers are almost a weekly shoe-in for fantasy production. Notice I said "almost". There is one thing.... I mean one person to be weary of: Darrelle Revis. Andre Johnson: Week 1 vs. Revis: 4 catches for 45 yards. Randy Moss: Week 2 vs. Revis: 4 catches for 24 yards. Week 11 vs. Revis: 5 catches, 31 yards, 1 TD Marques Colston: Week 4 vs. Revis: 2 catches for 33 yards. Terrell Owens: Week 6 vs. Revis: 3 catches for 13 yards. Week 13 vs. Revis: 3 catches for 31 yards. Mike Sims Walker: Week 10 vs. Revis: 2 catches 23... read more

Injuries can be the Achilles heal of fantasy success. Going into your draft without an updated IR is risky. The Brotherhood has you covered. There are some big names who are battling concerning injuries and there are those you don't have to worry about. We'll take a quick walk through the post-season infirmary informing you who you can draft with confidence, and those who warrant concern. 1) Chad Ochocinco - CIN - WR Ocho's early week MRI indicated no structural damage. He's fully expected to participate in this weekend's rematch vs. the Jets. There has been speculation that Chad had no injury at all and was just faking it to cover up his being out-played by shut down corner Darelle Revis. He'll get a chance to redeem himself, but we would not expect much as Revis has been... read more
