Here at the Brotherhood we are constantly talking, watching, researching and reading about football(Just ask our future ex-wives). A hot topic here is always what players do we like, more than anyone else here? We always present our reasons with facts and never ending discussions constantly trying to turn each other into believers. After talking to the guys around the office it has become clear to me that I have identified a few guys that require an additional look in fantasy nation. No, these guys are not sleepers per se. These are guys that will be undervalued in drafts, and Average Draft Position reports will attest to their undervalued rank. Turner will go in the first round in most standard drafts but would you take him fourth,fifth or sixth? I would if the big... read more

The Brotherhood continues to preach that Fantasy titles are won with a strong WR corps. Andre Johnson is the definitive Number One, but the rest of the top 10 is up for grabs. In a deep league? Here's 100-plus pass-catching options heading into the 2010 season. 1) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR Stands alone at the top. The definitive No. 1. 2) Miles Austin - DAL - WR The Dallas offense should be as explosive as ever. From 09 sleeper to top 5 prospect. A full season as the starter should reward fantasy owners with elite stats. 3) .Brandon Marshall - MIA - WR Marshall could very well win the reception title and turn Miami away from their wild-cat ways. 4) Randy Moss - NEP - WR Welker may start the season on the PUP list. Brady's in a contract year. Moss will... read more
