Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes owner's to what is the second round in most league's playoff system. The owner's that had the nice, comfy bye weeks are now on alert. There is nothing better than knocking one of these team's off their soapbox. If you are one of the lucky who was watching from the sidelines last week or spent the day of football with your significant other not paying attention to the games, you've been warned. You will be hunted by lower seed teams and we here at Fantasy Football Brother's are the secret weapon. Now, last week was again dominated by Rob Gronkowski who set the TD record for TE's and proved that he is simply a mismatch. He's also a hard man to bring down as evidenced by the Redskins tackling last week. He is again the top ranked TE going into Denver this week. Many... read more

Laurent Robinson has scored 8 touchdowns in the last 7 weeks, while Dez Bryant has scored in 4 out of his last 5. The return of Miles Austin will target dilute, but all three are very viable options vs. the Bucs. Demaryius Thomas is coming off of a 13 target outing. He's scored 3 TDs in the last 2 Weeks and should have continued success vs. a New England secondary that struggled against Donte Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney. The Falcon aerial attack finally appears to be firing on all cylinders. Roddy White has scored in three straight. After dropping the potential game winning touchdown in Week 13, Julio Jones exploded with 2 scores in Atlanta's comeback win over the Panthers. The dynamic duo will square off against an underrated Jag defense on Thursday Night. Calvin Johnson has transformed into a WR2 over the... read more

The playoffs for most owners, are now under way. For some unlucky players they start next weekend  week 15, which means that they have to play through week 17. We do not envy those that have to play in week 17 due to the fact that some NFL teams begin to rest their players for their own NFL playoff push. The good news is that there are a ton of the elite RBs that will have great fantasy playoff matchups. We love to preach that you should always start your studs. There is nothing wrong with using a strength of schedule. In fact a strength of schedule is a great tool that every owners uses, but you should never live and die by a strength of schedule.... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to Week 14. If you made it this far, congratulations, but there is more work to be done. If you earned yourself a bye, a double congratulations. The tight end position continues to be the Gronk and Graham show. In fact, it's getting too easy to put these guys number one and two each week. This week should be no different as the Pats take on the Redskins and the Saints battle the Titans. Jermichael Finley finally showed up last week which was nice for fantasy owner's, maybe he will get on a roll and reward fantasy owner's who drafted him early. Yes, I'm thinking of myself here. Looking for a couple of sleepers in Week 14? While we suggest always starting your studs, we think Aaron Hernandez gets in on the fun this week, as well as... read more

Week 14 is the beginning of the Fantasy Playoffs in 99% of all leagues.  If you've made it this far congratulations, you’ve most likely earned it.  The journey begins now. This week also marks the return of Michael Vick who missed the last two games with Broken ribs.  Vick should have his top target back in Jeremy Maclin who is also scheduled to return this week.  The Eagles face the Dolphins who have been playing solid all around team football.   Like the Eagles, Vick has been a disappointment for Fantasy owners who drafted him hoping they were getting the Vick of last season.  If you have another option you might want to go with it.  Vick is a tough call this week.  Josh Freeman put in a full practice today and is scheduled to start Sunday.     1) Aaron Rodgers... read more

Percy Harvin has exemplified the versatility and big-play ability that made him such a hot commodity coning out of college. Christian Ponder's maturation is evident despite the Vikes loosing record. Harvin has scored 4 receiving and 1 rushing TD in the last 5 games. In the last three weeks, he's accumulated 22 catches for 324 yards and 4 TDs. UPDATE - with Ponder out, expectations should be lowered. Michael Crabtree continues to improve. The targets and yardage totals are there, despite the Niners conservative approach. He's a weekly Top 20 prospect if he can begin to find the endzone more often. Brad Smith has stepped up for the Bills. Once thought to be nothing more than a utility man, Smith has been targeted 17 times over the last 2 weeks - pulling down 11 catches for 149 yards and a score. Victor Cruz has seen 62 targets over... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes those owner's lucky enough to be in their league's playoffs. The mission is far from over....if you have a bye, take stock of your team and look ahead and see if there are any moves you can make to better your team. If you are out of the Playoffs, stay out of the way. Don't be that owner that interferes in your league's final weeks just to be a thorn in the side of an owner who may have bested you through a trade or knocked you out of playoff contention. Trust me, I've seen friendships lost over things like this. Here are the K Ranks for Week 14: 1) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Sun 1:00 PM 3) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Tennessee Titans, Sun 1:00 PM 4) David Akers -... read more
