Week 17 Injury Center

The Real McCoy?

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to our Injury Center. Not only are we watching injuries, but we will monitor guys who might not be playing due to playoff seedings. Which brings us to this: If your league is still playing through Week 17, time for a vote to change to have your final game played in Week 16. That or find another league to play in because this is basically unfair. It's why we don't do rankings for Week 17. There is no way to tell and give an educated rank. These situations are ridiculous, so a guy that has Kahlil Bell of the Bears has the upper hand on an owner that has LeSean McCoy. An Aaron Rodgers owner has to make a decision to start Seneca Wallace of Matt Flynn? Bogus! Here are the Players we are watching: EARLY GAMES QB-Aaron Rodgers-Packers-OUT QB-Sam Bradford-Rams-OUT QB-Tom Brady-Patriots-ACTIVE RB-Chris... read more

RB Ranks Week 16 (Fantasy Playoff Edition)

Posted by in Fantasy Advice on Dec 22nd 2011 and last modified on Dec 24th 2011. (Print This)

To all of our family and friends Happy Holidays to you and yours from all of us at the Brotherhood. We wish everyone all the best tomorrow in the biggest week(Don't Worry Week 17 Owners The Brotherhood Rolls On) of the year for most of fantasy football. Thanks to all that have made the 2011 fantasy season a successful one. It was only a few short months ago, when we wondered if we would even have a football season and now we are here at the end. Go with what got you to the title game, always go with your gut and remember you have a secret weapon that no one even knows exists in your back-pocket. We are Fantasy Football Brothers! INJURIES  Roy Helu-WAS Questionable Helu is dealing with foot issues and is expected to play. How much he actually plays this... read more

This is it! For most, Week 16 means Superbowl. For those who have made it - Congrats! For those falling short - Our condolences. We thank you all for your continued loyalty. We're honored to have you as part of the Brotherhood. Last week, we questioned Calvin Johnson's playoff stock after his recent slump. The stud wide-0ut stepped it up when it counted putting together one of the better performances of his career. He's the sure-fire No. 1 this week. Atlanta will have to keep pace with the Saints if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. Julio Jones and Roddy White should be very active in a game that has all the makings for a shootout. Mike Wallace would traditionally torch the Rams, but with Big Ben's accuracy and power being hampered by an ankle injury - all bets are off. His rank could drop by week's end. Jabar Gaffney continues to be... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to Week 16. In most leagues this is the final game of the season, winner takes all, second place means nothing besides the fact that you showed up. The specialty positions such as kicker and defenses has played an instrumental role in most fantasy owner's success. Those that have been riding the foot of such guys as David Akers and Mike Nugent know what I'm talking about, as well as owner's that started the 49ers defense every week. These players and units helped make up points when your skill set position players had an off day. Think Jermichael Finley's whole season here. Did your kicker or your defense make up those extra points....the safe bet is that if you are playing this weekend they probably did. So, pay close attention because... read more

RB Ranks Week 15

Posted by in Fantasy Advice on Dec 15th 2011 and last modified on Dec 17th 2011. (Print This)

There is plenty to talk about at the RB spot this week with injuries dominating the news. DeMarco Murray's breakout came as quickly as his season ended. Darren McFadden is still not ready to return to the field. Adrian Peterson is expected to suit up after missing a few games. Kevin Smith returns after missing a game with a high ankle sprain. RB Adrian Peterson-MIN  Questionable Peterson is expected to return this week barring a last minute set back. AP should handle the bulk of the carries unless the game becomes a blow out and then we might see him a much more limited fashion to keep him healthy.  Toby Gerhart will be relegated to back up duties once again. RB Mark Ingram-NO OUT    With Ingram out again, it will be another RB du jour game. Second year back... read more

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

Week 15 WR Ranks

Posted by in Fantasy Advice on Dec 13th 2011 and last modified on Dec 14th 2011. (Print This)

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
