Injuries can be the Achilles heal of fantasy success. Going into your draft without an updated IR is risky. The Brotherhood has you covered. There are some big names who are battling concerning injuries and there are those you don't have to worry about. We'll take a quick walk through the post-season infirmary informing you who you can draft with confidence, and those who warrant concern. 1)  Chad Ochocinco - CIN - WR Ocho's early week MRI indicated no structural damage. He's fully expected to participate in this weekend's rematch vs. the Jets. There has been speculation that Chad had no injury at all and was just faking it to cover up his being out-played by shut down corner Darelle Revis.

While most owners just finished their seasons with the hope that they won their leagues, there are still a few that play a Week 17 Championship and today we take our 1ST Look at the injuries around the NFL.

It's the week of Christmas and the Brotherhood continues to get all of their readers a huge Christmas present in the form of being your League Champion. We start the week off with the major fantasy injuries and what potential impact it could have in your quest for the title. Most owners made it through the first 15 games of week 15 relatively unscathed. The biggest most obvious injury is to DeAngelo Williams who went down early in the first quarter. The Panthers never really needed him so it will be debatable if he could have returned if necessary. Hopefully you handcuffed him with RB Jonathan Stewart who... read more
