Have a question, bounce it off of us before you make a final decision on trades or player pickups. We are here to help you win a title. The Brotherhood has been hard at work with our draft kit roll out. Last week we ranked all of the RBs and this is our combined ranks. There was a ton of debate here as usual with fists being pounded on the table and lots of spirited discussion to put it mildly. We will be updating our positional ranks early and often as we head towards the start of the season. And as a note to the reader, even though there are some injuries already, we are not going to move the players up and down the ranks due to a minor injury. *Asterisks Are Next... read more

In the fantasy world kickers are undervalued and they are often near the top of point totals in most leagues. Fantasy owner's should look for kickers that play for potent offense's and also kick in friendly environments. Owner's should also be looking for kickers whose offenses' also stall in the red-zone, here's looking at you Rian Lindell. This isn't to say that you should reach for one in the early rounds. A general rule of thumb that we here at Fantasy Football Brother's support is to draft one kicker, then find a kicker during the bye week that has a good matchup. Another rule that we also go by is to draft a kicker in one of the last two rounds. Our thought is that you lose to much value at other positions if you reach on a kicker. I know I said they are undervalued earlier, but don't... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers continues to roll out our free draft kit. This week we take a closer look at the Wide Receiver position. Here at H.Q. we have been seeing a ton of questions regarding wide receivers especially in keeper/dynasty leagues. The wide receiver pool dries up very quickly this year and if you have a solid wide out on your dynasty/keeper team it would be wise to think about protecting him, especially for those that play in three receiver leagues. A wide receiver ages like a fine wine. There is no rule or theory outside of the third year receiver theory, which many will have you believe is a fact. It's a campfire tale at best. Receiver's take time to develop because the NFL is a complex game that uses complex offensive schemes that face complex defenses constantly disguising its looks. Wide receivers can also be held... read more

And as a note to the reader, even though there are some injuries already, we are not going to move the players up and down the ranks due to a minor injury. We are keeping an eye on Knowshon Moreno and Pierre Thomas closely right now. The Broncos signing of LenDale White will eventually bump him down the ranks now that he has landed in Denver. Let us know what you think,... read more

There are some rules in keeper league's that all of us owner's go by. It is a credo, a strict set of rules we manage our teams with, not to be strayed from the path. One is when a runner is nearing the age of 30, it is in our best interest to cut bait and go catch another younger runner. It is the over 30 rule in the NFL that has been drilled into our heads. Love it or hate it, it is not a trend, it is a fact. Running backs slow down when they hit the age of 30. Some players can defy the laws of aging, thinking Thomas Jones here, and some have a hard time making it to 30, thinking Clinton Portis. It all has to do with tread on the tires. How many carries... read more

Many fantasy owner's play in keeper leagues. Every year we must decide what player is the best fit for our team. This can be decided by many different things, but in keeper league's age can be a deciding factor. Some keeper league's only keep one player. I play in a league where we keep eight player's, so deciding who to keep and when to let them walk is a big decision. It can burn your roster for year's to come and regret can set in. Yes, there is such a thing as rebuilding in these kinds of keeper leagues. So below is a list of the quarterbacks that have the most value in keeper league systems. Keeper League Quarterback Ranks 1) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB 2) Drew Brees - NOR - QB 3) Peyton Manning - IND - QB 4) Tony Romo - DAL... read more
CONTINUING OUR WEEKLY COVERAGE ON QUARTERBACKS! We are proud to present the FantasyFootball Brothers QB Pre-Season Awards where our writers weigh in on all of the tough questions surrounding the position. We don't always agree on everything and it's always interesting when all the writers hand in their answers to these questions. Remember we love to hear from our fans, tell us what you think. By looking at the table you can see players who we are high on and players who we think will disappoint fantasy owner's this season. QB Sleeper-Paul's choice of Matt Cassel is interesting. His reasoning is that with Charlie Weis calling the plays in Kansas City and some added offensive weapons in Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster the offense will be better. Paul also adds that with the maturing of Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe, and the reemergence... read more
The tight end position is extremely deep this season and it's a position fantasy owner's can wait on to address other needs during the draft. For those of you looking for a sleeper, look to the left and see Tony Moeaki of the Kansas City Chiefs. I have to admit I'm higher on Moeaki than most people at FFB. I even think he might be a little low here. The Chief's don't have a pass catching tight end and haven't had one since Tony Gonzalez left town. Moeaki was a solid pass catcher at Iowa who played in a pro style offense, but injuries plagued him throughout his career. If he can stay healthy and the Chief's offense can be better than it was last year, then what we have here is a bona fide sleeper. Be on the lookout for our draft kit which will give more... read more
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
