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

It's playoff time for almost all of fantasy nation. Owners are shoring up wholes and scouring the waiver wire looking to ride that special player that can help bring a title. There aren't any RBs that jump out and say I can win you a title, but there is some potential. The biggest potential comes from the Chicago Bears backfield. If Marion Barber can play like its 2007 or 2008 then owners will find a steal on the waiver wire. Malcom Floyds' return is a potential shot in the arm for owners that have depleted receiving corps. The elite WRs for the most part have been largely disappointing. Part of is the massive amount of injuries, the other part is the never ending stream of injuries to decent QBs this season. Remember to keep it simple and just because it... read more

Fantasy Playoffs It's was just ten short years ago when  an incredulous Jim Mora responded to a reporters question about making the playoffs. His immortal retort. "Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs? Are you kidding me? Playoffs?" That interview is still as funny now, as it was ten years ago. Sadly today only an owner that has made their fantasy playoffs will find humor in that. Congrats to all of you that have made your fantasy playoffs.  It's time to bring home a trophy. For those that missed out in the playoffs, look back and see what you could have done differently. Whether it was poor drafting, team mismanagement or lineup problems all of these issues can be fixed. We can help. I will talk about this at another time but... read more
