The Most Asked Fantasy Question Heading Into the 2010 Season: "After the Fab-4 are gone, who do I draft in the 5th, 6th or 7th spot?" Drafting in the middle of round one is considered "The Canyon". As draft orders are announced throughout fantasy nation, those who fall in the 5, 6, and 7 spot let out a snychronous cry of "SH*t!" But fear not: Just as lemonade can be made out of lemons, a fantasy championship can be built from a mid-round pick. Let me assure you - the talent available is far better upon further statistical review. Let's take a look... Fantasy Nation seems to have unanimously ordained "The Fab-4" to this year’s royal cabinet: Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew and Ray Rice are dominating the first four slots of nearly all drafts. Who you chose next, really depends on how... read more
It has been drilled into fantasy culture: “don’t draft rookie receivers!”. The virgin seasons of Percy Harvin, Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Britt, Mike Wallace, Austin Collie and Mike Thomas have us questioning what has been thought to be fantasy law. As the NFL turns more to the air, more and more teams are lining up in 3 WR sets. Rookies are hitting the field earlier and more often than ever.The so called “3 year theory” has come into question. That being said, It is always important to remember: all rookie wide-outs come with risk. Pay attention to camp battles and preseason performances to see who is impressing their way into the starting lineup. Although I don’t agree with the “3 year theory”, rookie receivers often experience growing pains in their first year... read more

This week the brokers from the Brotherhood focus on what stock options are available heading into the 2010 season. Selling before the crash and buying on the cheap can lead to fantasy cash flow. We’ll provide free quotes and offer up-to-date stock analysis on today’s market trends. In Part I of this two edition piece, we’ll explore QBs and RBs. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for WRs and TEs. Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB RISING: How can he rise any higher? Rodgers has been my No. 1 QB throughout the off-season, but what he's been able to do with his preseason snaps has been down right amazing. The Packer offense looks unstoppable. The offensive line woes of a year ago seem to be remedied. His accuracy is dead on. His completion percentage cannot be matched. Greg Jennings' emergence into... read more

Note to our readers come September 6th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don’t get left out in the cold. It's that time of year again. We are in the middle of the dog days of summer, training camps across the NFL are breaking and we release our annual rookie RB report. I enjoy writing these more than anything else we do here. The rookies are always the sexiest, because they have so much upside. They potentially mean rebirth for your favorite franchise, a new name to follow and cheer on for the years to come. You secretly hope the franchise savior is not the next Rashaan Salaam. Or for that matter, the seemingly never ending long line of Penn State busts at running back. Yeah I'm talking to you Larry Johnson. The newbies bring... read more
With most fantasy drafts being held over the next few weeks, you can't help but feel a certain amount of excitement starting to build. All those endless hours of preparation will finally get put to the test. One of my favorite parts of any draft is selecting players in the later rounds. I can't think of a better feeling than unearthing a fantasy gem with a late round flier. To make your job easier we do our Sleepers and Busts a little different. We cover all 32 teams and identify multiple players who we feel could have a fantasy impact. The fact is, we've become very good at identifying these players. Last year we recommended taking fliers on Miles Austin, Sidney Rice, Jermichael Finley and Jamaal Charles to name a few. If you happened to land two of these... read more

Note to our readers come September 6th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don't get left out in the cold. As always the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the spelling and grammar will make your 9th grade English teacher cringe. Sorry Mrs. Edwards!

Draft time is here! It's what we've been preparing for all off-season. Your other responsibilities and obligations take a back seat as you begin to set your sites on a fantasy title. Pre-Season Week 3 often reveals the most, but some of us have our drafts this weekend. Much has happened to the wide-out pool: Sidney Rice could miss half the season. Vincent Jackson is still waiting to be traded. Percy Harvin's continued struggle with Migraines is concerning. Dez appears ready to get back on the playing field, while Chaz Schilens finds himself side-lined once again. Who's stalk is rising? We like Jabar Gaffney, Malcom Floyd and Johnny Knox. Josh Cribbs has played more of a role in Cleveland's passing game than most expected. Wes Welker has proven to be an incredible healer. Larry Fitzgerald cringed as he watched his starting quarterback... read more
Fantasy football owners are looking to gain an edge any way they can. We know that every bit of knowledge and information can be the key to fantasy success. Our goal is to provide fantasy owners with as much relevant information as possible. With that being said, offensive line rankings can be an important tool in fantasy football. We know that a teams offensive success is directly tied to the offensive line. Your stud running back isn't going to rush for 1,300 yards unless the boys upfront create enough space for him. The same is true for quarterbacks and wide outs. The ultimate success of these players is directly tied to the o-line. How can Brees stand in the pocket and pick apart a secondary if defenders are hounding him all afternoon? He can't. We created these ranking to help you identify the top offensive lines in the league. 1. New Orleans... read more

The defensive units in college football have seen a huge shift. Yes, the Ohio St. Buckeyes remain number one just like recent years, but the teams down the rest of the ranks haven't been there in quite some time. Many are new to the fantasy ranks such as teams like Temple and Rutgers. A team like Florida will need to reload, as they were decimated by losses on the defensive side of the ball as they lost six starters, that doesn't mean they lack talent though. They are a team that could rise up these ranks. Ohio St. returns a formidable group that is anchored by DL Cameron Heyward and DT Dexter Larimore up front. The Buckeyes return last season's leading tackler in OLB Ross Homan and together with MLB Brian Rolle form a top notch unit. Keep an eye on OLB Etienne Sabino who is a... read more
