Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Kicker and Defensive units for Week 4 in the NFL. We have it set up so you can one stop shop when looking at what glorified soccer player to play or whatever team is playing the Seahawks or Chiefs. As we state in our draft kit, if you are carrying two kickers and defenses, please don't. Don't be that guy. If you are worried about their bye week you are losing value elsewhere in your lineup. There are simply too many variables for these two positions week in and week out. There is simply no reason to be carrying two of these positions, when you can pluck possible value off the waiver wire and already have a David Nelson or Denarius Moore on your roster before they are the hot waiver selections. Here are the Week 4 Ranks: 1) Mason Crosby -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's rolls into Week 3 of final rank Friday. If you are struggling in your league, now is the time to make your move and right the ship. It's a long fantasy season when you struggle with lineup decisions, let us help give you a peace of mind. The Packer's Mason Crosby gets the top spot this week and points should be plenty for Crosby as the Packer's take on the stout defense of the Chicago Bears. In the second half of our rankings, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers that get top billing again. They were our top unit last week and pitched a shutout against the Seattle Seahawks. Look for more of that again as they take on the Indianapolis Colts who are struggling to find their way without their leader Peyton Manning. Here are the Kicker Rankings for Week 3: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the positions that no one pays attention to. But, if you owned David Akers and the San Francisco 49ers Defense last week, you made up some significant points. Rabbit out of a hat? Sunshine on a dog's ass? Luck? Coincidence? Maybe, but you should know that the Seahawks are in for absolute annihilation this weekend at the hands of the Steelers. Here are the K ranks: 1) John Kasay - NOR - KI 2) David Akers - SFO - KI 3) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI 4) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI 5) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI 6) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI 7) Alex Henery - PHI - KI 8) Nick Folk - NYJ - KI 9) Lawrence Tynes - NYG - KI 10) Nick Novak - NYJ - KI 11) Shaun Suisham - PIT - KI 12) Billy Cundiff - BAL - KI 13) Dan Carpenter - MIA - KI 14) Jason... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the glorified soccer player's heading into Week 1. Like we always say, "Get a good kicker on a good offensive team and hope for the best." Or get a good kicker on a crappy team and hope the offense struggles in the red-zone. Either way it's a total crap shoot, so just go with the guy that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Here are the Kicker Rankings for Week 1: 1) Nate Kaeding - SDC - KI 2) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI 4) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI 5) Billy Cundiff - BAL - KI 6) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI 7) Josh Brown - STL - KI 8) Rob Bironas - TEN - KI 9) Alex Henery - PHI - KI 10) David Akers - SFO - KI 11) Jay Feely - ARI - KI 12) Adam Vinatieri - IND... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers begins our Free Draft Kit roll out. We know we have released our draft kit a little later than previous years and there is a reason for that. Due to the lockout and free agency frenzy we decided to wait and see how it all shook out. We know everyone's time is limited so why make our readers read a bunch of different versions of our draft kit and waste your time. Or do what we did and wait ten days after the dust has settled a little bit and give you the reader a much more informed look at fantasy nation. There is a great deal of turnover in the kicking position as kickers battle it out for jobs. Case in point in Dallas where David Buehler is battling with Kris Brown. Seatle also has a kicking competition going on between Jeff... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Kicker Rankings heading into Week 17. Surprise, surprise, surprise at who is number one. It's Mr. David Akers again who should find plenty of field goal opportunities this week with the Michael Vick Experience being relegated to the sideline due to a quad injury. We think the offense might stall out some drives with Kevin Kolb back at the helm. Week 17: Kicker Rankings 1) David Akers - PHI - KI, vs. Dallas Cowboys, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Garrett Hartley - NOR - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 4) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, at Kansas City Chiefs, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Sun 1:00 PM 6) Jay Feely - ARI - KI, at San Francisco 49ers, Sun... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's issues our Week 16 Kicker Rankings. If points are at a premium for your team, then the kicking position can be a great spot to make up those points lost through injuries at other positions.

Week 16: Kicker Rankings 1) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. New Orleans Saints, Mon 8:30 PM 2) David Akers - PHI - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Shayne Graham - NEP - KI, at Buffalo Bills, Sun 1:00 PM 4) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Indianapolis Colts, Sun 4:05 PM 5) Dan Carpenter - MIA - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 1:00 PM 6) Nate Kaeding - SDC - KI, at Cincinnati Bengals, Sun 8:20 PM 7) Adam Vinatieri - IND - KI, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:05 PM 8)... read more
