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

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

A strength of schedule ranking is an underrated and valuable tool that can help fantasy managers gain an edge over other owners. Although I wouldn't plan my entire draft strategy around one, it can help when it comes to making difficult decisions. For instance, If I'm having trouble deciding between Ahmad Bradshaw and Arian Foster in the 6th round, I might select Bradshaw because Foster faces one of the more difficult schedules this year. The problem with a strength of schedule ranking, is that it is based off of last years overall results. We know that some NFL teams are going to exceed expectations and be much better than any of us thought they would be. We also know that some teams are going to fail to live up to their pre-season ranking. Like most fantasy rankings, it's... read more

Don’t forget the Brotherhood All-Access Membership is here. Dominate your draft with our customized league scoring draft tool. 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 NFL has kicked off a new season and that means it is officially fantasy football time. Now that HBO's Hard Knocks are in full swing, it's only fitting that the Jets take the top spot in our team defense rankings. Philosophies differ when it comes to taking a team defense. Of course, it all depends on your league format and scoring. In some league formats, a team defense can finish in the top 10 in overall scoring. These types of leagues make team defenses more valuable. We always preach waiting until the later rounds before selecting one. Our thought is that you can find an... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's would like to remind everyone that our Brotherhood All-Access Membership is available. Don't be left out in the cold when it comes to sit/start questions during the season. A peace of mind is priceless and we are here to take your questions and offer our own personalized feedback. Plus you get our draft tool which will help you dominate your draft. The tight end position has turned into one of the deepest positions in the NFL. While there are four really solid options who will always start the tight end run in most drafts, smart and savvy owners know they can wait and get one in the later rounds that will offer them great value with huge upside. When another owner wastes his pick on a TE, it just means somebody you like or need will... read more

The NFL has developed into a pass-happy league. With the playbooks opening up, and the offenses spreading out, Wide Receivers have leap-frogged running backs as the staple of fantasy success. The elite top runners kick off the first round in most formats (Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Ray Rice, and Frank Gore), but past that, WRs have infiltrated the bottom half of the first round and dominate the second. Recent ADP (Average Draft Position) trends have Andre Johnson, Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne as first rounders in standard scoring/12 team formats. 6 out of 12 second round spots are going to pass-catchers. That's more than any other position. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the injuries. Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson and Hakeem Nicks enter 2010 with high expectations. None of their camp ailments appear serious. We’re not worried... read more

QB Draft Kit week continues today with our ranks and writeups. We are also taking a look into our crystal ball and with our 2010 stat projections. There was much debate here at Fantasy Football Brothers surrounding our combined ranks. There always is when you have five guys with five different opinions. We took each of our five individual ranks and combined them to come up with this rank. We will continuously update these ranks and projections as the NFL gets into full swing. 1) Drew Brees - NOR - QB CMP ATT PYDS PTD INT RUSH ATT RUSH YDS RUSH TD 399 585 4790 35 12 25 36 2 The reigning Super Bowl MVP enters 2010 as our #1 signal caller. After four straight 4,000 yard seasons it would be a crime not to rank Brees #1. The Saints offense comes back virtually intact so we can expect him to pass for more gaudy passing numbers in'10. The only thing hurting... read more

With the wild card round in the rear view mirror now, we're left with eight teams battling for divisional supremacy. The eight teams left leave us with a healthy batch of quarterbacks entering different paths in their careers. As many as four are destined for the hall of fame and will look to continue building there legacy. Two are striving to take the next step in an attempt to move into the top tier while the last two guys are simply out to make a name for themselves. We should take a moment and reflect on how special this group of quarterbacks truly is. We'll start at the top with Warner and Favre. Both are sure bets to make the hall and could be playing in their last games respectively. Warner is... read more

Week 17 is upon us. The final week of the NFL regular season inevitably signals the end of the 2009 Fantasy season. If your reading this then your probably playing for a title. I'm not a fan of the week 17 playoff format and will never play in a league that extends until this week. I feel like it takes away from everything owner's did throughout the year. To many teams rest players this week and I'm actually ok with it. I'm not ok with what the Colts did last weekend, but that's a separate rant all together. If you rode Peyton and Co. this far they either burned you last week or have you scrambling this week. The key is to find players who have something to play for, but at this point in the season, it's... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers goes into Week 16 with our ears pinned back and our hair on fire. This is the week we have been looking forward to the whole season. This is it, the big one, the one where you collect your title and reap the rewards as you bask in the glory of fantasy greatness. Week 16 offers alot of good matchups in the NFL as teams are scrambling to fill the last playoff spots. Some of the more notable games this week are the San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins, New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles. One of the games flying under the radar this week is the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the New England Patriots in Foxboro. The Patriots have been offensively challenged their last four games and have... read more
