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

Week 16 QB Ranks

Posted by in Quarterbacks on Dec 21st 2011 (Print This)

Eli Manning's poor performance on Sunday probably cost more than a few owners a shot at playing for a fantasy title.  It's a tough pill to swallow considering how well he has played over the last month.  Two of his three interceptions came when the Redskins sent an all out blitz.  Pryor to this game Eli was doing  a great job of exposing opposing defenses in these exact situations.  Unfortunately for us, this is exactly what we've come to expect from Eli when we need him the most.  He lets us down.  This performance is the reason why I had Eli as a preseason bust.  We know he's a QB1.  We know he'll throw for 4,000 + yards and 25 + touchdowns.  And we know he will let us down. Rodgers almost pulled an Eli, but managed two second half... read more

Week 16 TE Ranks

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the tight end position for Week 16. If you are reading this, congratulations, but your work is far from over. For most of us, we are in fantasy depression, our team was good enough, we made all the right moves and decisions, only to have our players disappoint. More than one owner in your league thought he had what it took and more than one owner is saying wait 'til next year as he tries to decide between Matt Kemp and Justin Verlander in his dynasty fantasy baseball league. But you are not there yet....you stayed away from the light and were rewarded one more weekend in the sun to achieve fantasy glory. Let's not disappoint our loved ones....let's bring home that trophy to put on the mantle for the Holidays...okay, maybe not in most households, but I'm sure... 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

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

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a glance at the kickers and defensive units for Week 15. Now, more than ever points are at a premium as fantasy owner's make their way through the minefield that is the fantasy playoffs. Here's the K rankings for Week 15: 1) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 4:05 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Kansas City Chiefs, Sun 1:00 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Mon 8:30 PM 6) Lawrence Tynes - NYG - KI, vs. Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 8) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:05 PM 9) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI, vs. Seattle Seahawks,... 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
