   With OTA’s underway, and fantasy football fanatics gearing up for their respective drafts, it’s now time for true in-depth ranks.  Today, we will take a look at the Tight End (TE) position.  As you may or may not know, injuries seem to be the talk of the town for TE’s lately.  Big names like Antonio Gates, Owen Daniels, and Kellen Winslow are all finding themselves on injury reports, which in turn seems to be having dramatic effects on rank boards.  Some of these guys are IR junkies, but others are worth keeping an eye on.    Antonio Gates seems to be the most closely watched due mostly to the fact that he has the most to lose!  His nagging foot and ankle injuries are nothing new, and don’t seem to effect his time on the field, but... read more

51-75 could all rotate spots before the opening of the season. This group consists mainly of team's deep WR2/WR3 prospects.   Rookies to climb ranks by season's start?Golden Tate and Arrelious Benn will both hit the field immediately. Tate is in the better situation for he won't enter as Seattle's WR1, easing pressure and allowing him to work against less superior coverage. Housh is aging and has struggles since being in Seattle. Detroit trading to get Nate Burleson opens up plenty of targets to go around. With a re-vamped running game and Matt Hasselbeck looking healthy, Tate could impress in his virgin season.  Benn instantly becomes Tampa's go to guy. This bodes well for future fantasy success, but rooks who hop directly into the 1 spot often struggle as the acclimate to the pro game. Fellow rookie Mike Williams may also see starting... read more

Today marks day two of our wide out ranks release. 26-50 consists of some aging vets, promising second year men and two of the top rookies. Mike Martz addition to Chicago is just what the doctor ordered for Jay Cutler and company. Devin Hester looks to benefit the most from his arrival. Hester has already begun lining up at all three receiver positions, but will most likely make his home in the slot. No linebacker or safety will have the speed to stay with the shifty utility man. Martz also wants to get back to Hester's play-making ability on special teams. In return formats Hester could be a beast if he regains his explosion on kick returns. Remember, before Cribbs, there was Hester. Drafting rookie receivers was once thought to be fantasy taboo, but as the... read more

The Brotherhood is Back! Wideouts are the topic of the day. As the Running Back position becomes more and more diluted, fantasy GMs would be wise to realize that championship contenders are built around a solid receiving corp. Today we release the top 25. Tomorrow 26-50, and Sunday 51-75. Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne remain in the Top 10, but their time atop this list is quickly coming to an end. Moss is entering a contract season and the Patriots most likely won't re-sign him. His targets should increase while teammate Wes Welker recovers from season ending ACL injury. Taking his place in the slot will be Julian Edelman, a converted college quarterback out of Kent State. Edelman did his best Welker impersonation last season and will continue to improve if the Patriots are to contend in the... read more

The quarterback position is typically the most important player on the football field. 99% of the time QB play is crucial to a teams overall success.  Over time the NFL has evolved into a pass first league.  Sure, you'll always find a few teams that run the ball 35-40 times a game, but the majority are spreading out the field and throwing as much or more than they run the ball.  It's a trend that will continue and is the reason why front office personnel around the league will almost always do anything to secure a top signal caller.  Teams know that without a strong quarterback there's a good chance you can kiss your playoff hopes goodbye. The same can be said with fantasy football.  Often without a top echelon quarterback leading your team, there is a decent chance you’ll miss the playoffs.  Nine out of... read more

It has been a strange, if not downright weird few weeks here at the Brotherhood. First and foremost I am happy to announce and welcome another new member to the Brotherhood. Welcome to the Brotherhood Jason Daniel Michaud. This young man also doubles as my first nephew. I hope to see him helping us out with our 2020 draft kit. As some of our readers might know our site was brought down by a hacker, Our Director of Technology, who also just happens to be the father of J.D. has assured me that our site is again 100% safe and locked down. Now GoDaddy has some questions that need to be answered, but I will save that rant for another day. We again apologize to any of our reader's that were inconvenienced by this brief interruption. While we have... read more
