Happy New Year to all of our family, friends and readers. Most leagues are done but there are some that are still playing. For those that play in week 17, first I would like to offer my condolences, because no league should play in week 17. Week 17 inevitably leads to you playing a full 15 week season. that ultimately gets decided by a potentially gut wrenching who plays for how long roulette. That just straight up sucks. The good news is this year there is still plenty that is being played for including rushing titles. There are four backs that are within 130 yard of the title and anything is possible. Maurice Jones-Drew has already been ruled out this week which now leaves four vieing... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's winds down to Week 17. As we take a look at the Team Defense Rankings for the week, you'll notice the trend of the cream rising to the top throughout the season. Look at the top 10 defenses in this rank and the only outsider you see is the St.Louis Rams who play against a putrid Seattle Seahawks team. All the other defenses in the top 10 are household defenses, pre-season favorites to lead the pack. Week 17: Team Defense Rankings 1) Atlanta Falcons - ATL - DF, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Pittsburgh Steelers - PIT - DF, at Cleveland Browns, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Baltimore Ravens - BAL - DF, vs. Cincinnati Bengals, Sun 1:00 PM 4) New York Giants - NYG - DF, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Green Bay Packers - GRE - DF, vs. Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 6)... read more
Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Kicker Rankings heading into Week 17. Surprise, surprise, surprise at who is number one. It's Mr. David Akers again who should find plenty of field goal opportunities this week with the Michael Vick Experience being relegated to the sideline due to a quad injury. We think the offense might stall out some drives with Kevin Kolb back at the helm. Week 17: Kicker Rankings 1) David Akers - PHI - KI, vs. Dallas Cowboys, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Garrett Hartley - NOR - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 4) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, at Kansas City Chiefs, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Sun 1:00 PM 6) Jay Feely - ARI - KI, at San Francisco 49ers, Sun... read more

Week 17 Super Bowls pose many problems. There will be few rosters that are at 100%. With some team's playoff paths already determined, certain studs may see the sidelines. Fear not, for there is always a silver lining. True, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson may fail to produce, but the door is open for Jason Avant to see more snaps. Other intriguing names include Jerome Simpson, Andre Caldwell, Michael Crabtree, Danario Alexander, Blair White and Jason Hill. If Andre Johnson can't go, look for Jacoby Jones to step up once again. Reggie Wayne tops the list as Indy has been playing playoff games for weeks now. Expect Mario Manningham to produce with both Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks on the sidelines. The Giants still have a shot at the playoffs. Manningham will be their best aerial weapon. 1) Reggie Wayne - IND - WR, vs. Tennessee Titans,... read more

Week 16 has come and gone, and luckily for many fantasy owners playing for championships their were no devastating injuries that determined their games outcome. Here are the few fantasy relevant notables: Anthony Fasano-TE-MIA: After catching 2 passes for 41yds, Fasano injured his knee in the second half of his game against the Lions. Although his injury didn’t look too serious, with the Pats D in his future for Week 17, Fasano isn’t worthy of a fantasy spot. Sindey Rice-WR-MIN: Rice looked sloppy early in his game against Philly, but he did manage to grab one pass for 16yds. It was on that reception that he took a helmet to helmet hit that eventually ended his night. He will undergo the mandatory concussion tests this week, but with Webb throwing... read more

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family. For a select few it is championship weekend, for others it is a time to reflect on why I didn't join the Brotherhood. All jokes (Not really a joke)aside, it call comes down to this weekend. We wish you all the best this weekend as we are rooting for all of our readers, unless we are squaring off against them this weekend. Arian Foster has a great matchup this weekend against the Broncos. Denver has allowed something like 400 rushing touchdowns (It's really 22)this season to opposing backs. Darren McFadden is built perfectly to take advantage of the Colts defense. Big,strong and fast backs always give Indy fits. Jamaal Charles is less than 40 yards rushing behind the NFL leader, despite having almost 75 less carries on... read more
Week 16 finds us deep in a whirlwind of football and holiday cheer. All the excitement going on is almost to much to take all at once. We should have asked Santa to postpone Christmas a week, just so we can focus on football. I'm opening my gifts and all I can think about is Jon Kitna! Will he play good enough to win me a title? I'm hopeful he will. And hopefully the rest of you have been good boys and girls and are playing for a fantasy title or two. The excitement and anticipation leading up to a championship game is almost as nerve racking as waiting at the top of your stairs on Christmas morning. Just sitting there waiting for the go ahead to run down and rip open your presents. It didn't matter if I had to run over my sisters,... read more
Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to the end of the road. If you have made it here, congratulations, pat yourself on the back and tell everyone you know that you are in the championship game. Okay, skip that last part, because frankly, no one cares but you and us. The truth is if you made it this far, relish the feeling, because it's almost like the SuperBowl in that teams just don't go back regularly. Not everyone can be the New England Patriots or Pittsburgh Steelers, there has to be a doormat team every year. Look at the Carolina Panthers, they went to a SuperBowl and I don't think they will be going back for a long, long time. The same can be said about the Seattle Seahawks, they once went to the big... read more
