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

Matt Schaub is the top option in Week 17.

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

Simply Electric!

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

Worth the Risk?

Fantasy Football Brothers cruises into Week 15, so get on board, this is a big week for fantasy owners. This is the week that is do or die, no one wants to be left out of their leagues prize pool. In Week 15 there are many concerns with the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. Will they or won't they rest their players? It's the time that teams think about getting healthy for the playoffs, and for fantasy owners there is no worse time. One player we received alot of questions about was Joseph Addai of the Colts. In my opinion he is a "risky" play going into the Jacksonville game because he has a banged up knee. The Colts may choose to go with a tandem of Mike Hart and Chad Simpson, my advice would be to play it safe if you have other suitable starting... read more

The Colts will look to remain perfect.

Thursday night looks like a classic mismatch at first glance. Many NFL fans will instantly think the Colts win in a blowout. Looking further into the numbers, Fantasy Football Brothers thinks there is one team that is great at one thing and another that is pretty well balanced offensively. That doesn't mean they don't have certain deficiencies that can't be exploited though. The Indianapolis Colts come into this game with the number one passing offense in the NFL. It's no secret, Peyton Manning and his wide receivers of Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, and Austin Collie are special. That goes without even mentioning one of the leagues top pass catching tight ends in Dallas Clark. Sprinkle in Joseph Addai catching balls out of the backfield and they are nearly unstoppable. With that said, the Colts are ranked 28th in the league in rushing. They are... read more

Moats is relevant again in Week 14.

Fantasy Football Brothers welcomes you to the playoffs. It's Week 14 and all the hard work you have done to get to this point is finally here. You as fantasy owners have guided your team through injuries, suspensions, and owning any player on the Oakland Raiders. Now it is time for all that hard work to pay off. There are some big games in Week 14 and some of the more notable matchups include Denver at Indianapolis, Cincinnati at Minnesota,  San Diego at Dallas, and Philadelphia at the New York Giants. All the games this time of year are must wins for teams looking to make that final playoff push or secure home field advantage in the playoffs. As fantasy owners we have to be cautious at this point in the season to back ourselves up in case teams that have... read more

Don't get cute, play your studs in Week 13.

Fantasy Football Brothers rolls towards the playoffs and into Week 13 we go as it is a vital week for most teams. This is either a "do or die" week for your team or you are sitting back already claiming your spot in the playoffs. If your fantasy team is out of it, it's a great chance to play "spoiler" for those teams on the outside looking in. Which brings me to another topic and that is the subject of COLLUSION. We have received alot of questions from commissioner's about this topic and what to do with owner's guilty of collusion. It's a tough subject and you put your commish in a tough spot, so if you like him or her, please don't do it. It's not fair to the other owners in your league, afterall what if... read more

Brees vs. Brady on Monday Night!

Fantasy Football Brothers enters Week 12 with one eye on the playoffs and one eye looking back at fantasy teams that could surprise in the standings. It's time to get your roster set for the playoffs if you haven't done so already at the trade deadline. This might sound like looking too far ahead, but why not take advantage of other owner's who are just trying to get in or have given up completely on their season as they swear off Fantasy Football once and for all. They'll be back.  Kurt Warner owners know this all too well and if you didn't have a backup for the 38 year old quarterback you were scouring the waiver wire looking to pick up guys like Vince Young, Chad Henne, or even Jake Delhomme. A scary situation to be in if you are a Warner... read more

F.F.B. wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving Day games are here and while many people are demanding a change away from the same old teams that play on Turkey Day, notably the Detroit Lions, let's just be thankful that there is something to watch. While the slated games don't scream must see t.v., they are better matchups than one might think. This does not include the matinee game that pits the injury-riddled Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers. This game might have been more competitive if QB Matthew Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson were playing, but chances are they will miss the game. The Packers have been playing better football as of late and WR Greg Jennings has re-emerged as fantasy owners' say to themselves, "Why did I trade this guy for Glen Coffee?" This one will be a blowout and NFL fans will demand that a... read more

Panic strikes Ronnie Brown owners in Week 11.

Week 10 has come and gone and left many fantasy owners scrambling. There couldn't have been a worse time for Ronnie Brown owners to lose him for the season than in Week 11 as many leagues had their trade deadlines pass after the decision was announced that he would be placed on Injured Reserve. Other notable players also went down with injuries, players such as Michael Turner, Cedric Benson, and Julius Jones were injury casualties. Hopefully fantasy owners backed themselves up with quality depth on their rosters or were able to get their players handcuff either through waivers or by planning beforehand come draft day. Week 11 brings alot of quality matchups and points should be plenty this weekend as New Orleans, New England, Arizona, and Cincinnati all have savory opponents. Remember there is a Thursday night game this week with Miami @ Carolina, so... read more
