This week the Brotherhood will be releasing our 1st LOOK at the 2010 dynasty rankings.  We know the season isn't technically over, but we also know how important it is to stay ahead of the competition.  There is nothing wrong with starting your prep work a little early. We're going to kick off this week with the quarterbacks.  This is how I would rank and value these players if I had to select my keepers today.  These rankings will change throughout the off-season.  Some teams are going to improve through the draft and free agency and others are going to lose key players.  Philip Rivers is a good example of a player who could find himself losing several key members of the Chargers offense.  The San Diego front office has a lot of decisions to make this off-season.  Do they resign Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and LaDainian Tomlinson?  If they... read more

Last week we released our 1ST LOOK 2010 positional dynasty rankings.  We’ll start this week off by wrapping up our ranks with the tight ends.  Tight ends are usually an afterthought in fantasy football and especially in dynasty leagues.  It’s not that the position is less important than any of the others; it’s the fact that most fantasy leagues only require you to start one.  It’s simply all about supply and demand.  A larger emphasis is put on wide receivers, running backs and quarterbacks.  With a premium put on these positions it’s easy to see why tight ends lose significant value when it’s time to select your keepers.  There is no need to use one of your important keeper slots on a player who plays a position that more... read more

Dynasty Ranks are Here!

Dynasty leagues are a whole other ball game. You're running an organization for not just the "now", but for the future as well. Fantasy becomes more like reality as GMs are forced to consider outside of the current season. A mix of steady vets, mid-year "primers" and some diaper dandies make for the perfect blend for continued relevance. Buying on the cheap, selling before the crash and seeing production before it happens is all part of fantasy success. Key Wide-Out Questions Heading Into 2010: Who's #1? Although Larry Fitzgerald is two years younger than Andre Johnson, AJ still covets our top rank. Teams were able to keep Fitz's stats in check this season. He was still a top performer, but he did not live up to the unrealistic expectations placed upon him by fantasy nation in 09. Opposing defensive... read more

The NFL playoffs are in full swing and almost all of the fantasy seasons are done with until next year. Unless of course you are one of the lucky ones that participates in a keeper league or a dynasty league. We take our first crack at the dynasty ranks this week with the second installment of positional dynasty ranks. (Monday QBs,Friday WRs and TEs the 1/27) Today we take our 1ST LOOK at the running backs. There are a million things that will happen between now and the start of next  season. Anything and everything that could happen including injuries,trades, salary dumps, free-agency and retirements. Just to add to the mayhem there are new Head Coaches starting  their new jobs all across the NFL landscape all the while changing their offensive schemes that could... read more

Here We Go!

With the wild card round in the rear view mirror, we can look forward to this weekends divisional match ups.  The tight end position is stacked at that top but thins out very quickly after the first four options.  We know what we're getting out of Dallas Clark.  He is the unquestioned top option for tight ends and a threat to post gaudy numbers every time he steps on the field.  He is the only guy in these ranks that I totally trust.  He's in a tier all by himself.  The second tier starts with Gates.  He is a safe and consistent option at a position that is as important as any other in fantasy football.  Rivers trusts him and looks his way often.  Shiancoe has emerged as one of Favre's favorite red zone target and also doubles as a safety net in the... 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

Rice Needs To Have Another Big Game If The Ravens Are Going To Have Any Chance Saturday Against The Colts

With the Wild Card weekend behind us we rock on to the  Divisional playoff weekend. The weekend was filled with some painful games to watch if you are a Patriots,Bengals or Eagles fan. The best game of the weekend and of the entire season for that matter was the crazy game between the Packers and Cardinals. The game was a shootout from the beginning with the Packers overcoming a 17 point deficit and bringing the game into overtime with a fluke fumble returned by the Cardinals defense for a touchdown that ended the game. The game saw 96 total points scored 1,024 total yards between both teams and 9 total touchdowns thrown.  This weekend the Cardinals head to the Superdome in New Orleans in a game that... read more

Fitzgerald plays his best ball in the post season.

The NFL has changed into a passing league. More and more teams are turning to shot-gun, 3 wide receiver set formations. Minnesota, New Orleans, Indy and Zona are the four best spread offenses in the league. They are super saturated with play-makers and more frequently than not, line up in 3 WR sets. Play-maker saturation leads to target dilution, but none of these squads will be playing an overly imposing defense. Divisional week should be an aerial show. The Green Bay vs. Arizona battle was one of the best playoff games the league has ever seen. Expect continued fireworks in the Divisional Match-Ups.      New Orleans vs. Arizona: We expect little defense in this one. New Orleans has done well all season in keeping opposing passer's stats down, but they will have much difficulty with Kurt Warner. If you blitz him, he'll make you pay. Anquan... read more
