Fantasy Football Brother's would like to take the time to wish all our reader's a Happy Thanksgiving. We know there is a great slate of games on Turkey Day, in fact the best we can remember in quite some time, but we should stop and take the time to give thanks. Granted our country is in the crapper and world markets are collapsing, unemployment is at an all time high, but in the end there is football, which we almost didn't have. Be thankful this isn't the NBA..... Rob Gronkowski of the Patriot's again tops our list as he and Jimmy Graham battle it out for fantasy supremacy at the position. Let's get to the ranks.... Week 12 Tight End Rankings: 1) Rob Gronkowski - NEP - TE, at Philadelphia Eagles, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Jimmy Graham - NOR - TE, vs. New York Giants, Mon 8:30 PM 3) Jason Witten -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's would like to wish all our reader's a Happy Thanksgiving. There is a great slate of games on Thursday, but the headliner will be the Packers vs. the Lions, but the game that could be the best might be the 49ers vs. the Ravens. The Brothers Harbaugh will battle it out in the night game. Here are the Kicker Ranks for Week 12: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Detroit Lions, Thu 12:30 AM 2) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, vs. Miami Dolphins, Thu 4:15 PM 3) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. New York Giants, Mon 8:30 PM 4) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, at Baltimore Ravens, Thu 8:20 PM 6) Nick Novak - SDC - KI, vs. Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 7) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Philadelphia Eagles, Sun 4:15 PM 8) Billy... read more
Fantasy Football Brother's offers up our final ranks for Week 11 Tight Ends. Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots remains in the top slot as he should have a field day against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. There was a great deal of movement at the tail end of the rankings as there were some injuries that shuffled guys up and down the ranks. The most serious injury being Jeremy Shockey of the Panthers who is doubtful with a rib injury. The teams on byes this week are the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans. Please adjust your roster accordingly. Here are the Week 11 Tight End Ranks: 1) Rob Gronkowski - NEP - TE, vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Mon 8:30 PM 2) Jason Witten - DAL - TE, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Aaron Hernandez - NEP - TE, vs. Kansas City Chiefs,... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a final look at the Kickers and Defensive/Special Teams for Week 11. If you owned the Chicago Bears D/ST last week y0u were more than happy with the points they put up. If you were carrying two D/ST's and chose not to start the Bears, then you were probably kicking yourself. It's why you eliminate that situation and just carry one D/ST or K on your roster. Both positions are a crapshoot and again, it's why we preach you are losing value elsewhere on your roster when you are carrying more than one each. Here are the K Ranks for Week 11: 1) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, vs. Kansas... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's rolls into Week 11 with our First Look Series. In many leagues the playoff picture is starting to take shape, good teams are starting to rise to the top and mediocre teams are just trying to hang on. There are many good tight end's on byes this week. Most notable Jimmy Graham of the Saints, but there is also Owen Daniels of the Texans, as well as Heath Miller of the Steelers. The Colts are also on a bye this week if anyone cares. Rob Gronkowski gets the top spot this week and it doesn't look like that will change going into the weekend. The guy is simply amazing on the football field and really seems to be uncoverable. The only times teams shut him down is when he is asked to block in the Patriots non-existant run game, and he is even an excellent... read more
Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the final TE Rankings for Week 10 in the NFL. The Thursday night games have started and FFB was disappointed as we had Antonio Gates as our number one ranked TE this week. We don't know what is wrong with that team, but the window of winning is rapidly closing in the AFC West for this disappointing Charger's squad. It makes us wonder, how in the hell does Norv Turner still have a job? We are also expecting a big week out of the Packers Jermichael Finley. The Pack take on the Minnesota Vikings in a Monday night clash. Finley has been a big disappointment so far, but we think he gets on track Monday night. Here are the TE Ranks for Week 10: 1) Antonio Gates - SDC - TE, vs. Oakland Raiders, Thu 8:20 PM Gates had a statline of... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Kickers and Defensive/Special Teams units for Week 10. This is a final rank for the week and there are no teams on byes this week. Remember that Thursday night football starts this week, so adjust your rosters accordingly. A friendly reminder to our readers: If you are carrying two kickers and two defenses on your squad, you are losing value down your roster. Why not take a chance on a player who could help you out at a postion you are thin at? Think Antonio Brown here. Here are the final ranks for Week 10: 1) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Mon 8:30 PM 3) Nick Novak - SDC - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Thu 8:20 PM 4) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Alex Henery -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's offers our subscribers a sneak peek at the week ahead. Fantasy owner's need to remember that Thursday night football starts this week with the San Diego Chargers traveling to Oakland to take on the Raiders. It's a classic AFC West rivalry game. Antonio Gates sits atop the rankings and it seems like old times. If Gates can remain healthy, he could be a much needed boost to fantasy teams who held on to him when his season looked bleak. He should reward fantasy owner's this week as QB Philip Rivers may have finally pulled his head out of his arse, granted he did throw 3 picks. Here are the 1st Look Ranks for the TE position entering Week 10: 1) Antonio Gates - SDC - TE, vs. Oakland Raiders, Thu 8:20 PM 2) Jason Witten - DAL - TE, vs. Buffalo Bills, Sun 1:00 PM 3)... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes our final look at the tight end position for Week 9. There wasn't a whole lot of movement up and down the ranks, besides us still probably overvaluing Jermichael Finley. Jimmy Graham nabs the top spot, it's getting to be pretty common to see his name there now days and we are running out of Jimmy Graham pictures. Jason Witten gets the #2 slot and let's hope the Cowboy's offense looks sharper than it did last week vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. It can't get any worse, right? There was a Brent Celek (Brotherhood favorite) sighting last week, but the Brother's love the potential of Jake Ballard. While watching tape of Jake Ballard in the lab, Bill wondered if there was anyone who plays the game more stiff than Ballard. I retorted that he has a great set of hands and... read more
