Every Friday the Brotherhood drops our updated positional ranks. We scour the net, tv and the newspapers for an information that we can use. We watch video and look for things that others are missing. We do this out of our love for football. Fantasy football. Our research (Here Comes My Segway) is what leads me to the story of the week. Looking back through our pre-season rankings I wanted to see when exactly Fred Jackson went from being ranked as a RB2 to a flex rank. It happend on the last week of the pre-season when the coaches in Buffalo were doing their all to let C.J. Spiller take the starting job. Spiller got the nod and didn't perform in his pre-season start. But the damage was already done. We (By we I... read more

Every Friday the Brotherhood unleashes our final positional ranks. We are going to give our RB ranks a new look this week and try something out. Between injuries and backfield committees the position has become more diluted than ever. There are far fewer backs that can just get plugged in an played every week. RB Chris Johnson and Michael Turner were two backs that got drafted in the first round and just can't seem to get going. For Johnson it has been the poor line play that has killed his fantasy season to date. To say that the o-line is playing awful would be an understatement. If things don't improve against a shaky Browns defense, owners might have to face the fact that they might never improve. For Turner, the problem appears to be more complicated. The Falcons have greatly under performed in every category and the on field results have been just plain... read more

(1ST LOOK is available only to Brotherhood All-Access Members. This article is a free pre-view.) Every Tuesday the Brotherhood takes a 1ST Look at this weeks upcoming ranks. Even though these ranks are not set in stone it is always good idea to start planning ahead. On Friday we will post our our final ranks for Week 2. Week 1 showed us some shocking and disappointing moments. We saw Steven Jackson break a big run and then leave the game never to return. The early news out of St. Louis doesn't sound too promising for Jackson 0wners in week 2. It looks like Cadillac Williams will be a big waiver wire hero. To the surprise of no one Arian Foster sat out week 1. If anyone asked us before the season starter: Who is the better Texan backup?... read more

Note to our readers come September 8th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don’t get left out in the cold. It's that time of year again. We are at the end of the dog days of summer. Of course if you are like us and unlucky enough to be stuck in the North East, you have hurricane Irene ruining your weekend. NFL training camps across the country will begin to break this week. One of my favorite articles to write is Fantasy Football Brothers rookie RB report. The rookies are always the sexiest of any position. That is because they have so much upside and barely any negatives attached to their game. On a grander scale they symbolically mean rebirth for your favorite franchise, a new hope to cheer and follow for years to come. You secretly hope your team's draft pic is the new franchise savior, and not... read more

WE'RE BACK!!!!!! The Brotherhood is back, we have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the NFL both players and owners to come to back their senses. It looks like we are less than a week away from officially having a season. Having a full season is huge for so many reasons which I won't get into now but will focus on the important part. Fantasy football! I have felt a void missing in my life and after writing a bunch of columns that never got published due to the lock out, I have sat idly by and watched the proceedings knowing that the owners and players would come together. It was always a matter of when. I know I was one of the few that felt it would be sooner... read more

Happy New Year to all of our family, friends and readers. Most leagues are done but there are some that are still playing. For those that play in week 17, first I would like to offer my condolences, because no league should play in week 17. Week 17 inevitably leads to you playing a full 15 week season. that ultimately gets decided by a potentially gut wrenching who plays for how long roulette. That just straight up sucks. The good news is this year there is still plenty that is being played for including rushing titles. There are four backs that are within 130 yard of the title and anything is possible. Maurice Jones-Drew has already been ruled out this week which now leaves four vieing... read more

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family. For a select few it is championship weekend, for others it is a time to reflect on why I didn't join the Brotherhood. All jokes (Not really a joke)aside, it call comes down to this weekend. We wish you all the best this weekend as we are rooting for all of our readers, unless we are squaring off against them this weekend. Arian Foster has a great matchup this weekend against the Broncos. Denver has allowed something like 400 rushing touchdowns (It's really 22)this season to opposing backs. Darren McFadden is built perfectly to take advantage of the Colts defense. Big,strong and fast backs always give Indy fits. Jamaal Charles is less than 40 yards rushing behind the NFL leader, despite having almost 75 less carries on... read more
