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

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

Peyton to Wayne coming soon to the NFL Playoffs.

Fantasy Football Brothers is in full swing  for the NFL Playoffs. The Fantasy Playoffs are a great way to keep your Fantasy season going....shhhhh...."Just don't tell the wife." If you missed out on a championship because Steven Jackson decided not to play in Week 16, then this is the time for redemption. These rankings are in depth and they provide for the leagues that do select backups at their respected positions. Fantasy Football Brothers takes a look at the Wide Receiver rankings for 2009 Playoff Leagues and these rankings are done by a last man standing type rules. This of course means the highest ranked players we believe will go the furthest in the NFL Playoffs. If you own Reggie Wayne and the Colts are knocked out, you only have one other wide receiver and your flex position (RB/WR) to net you points.... read more

WEEK 17 WR RANKS

Congrats If You Were Able To Grab On To Austin Miles This Year

Here we are in Week 17. If your reading this, you're most likely in your fantasy championship. Unfortunately for you, your leagues goes right up until Week 17. Playing to the very end has it's disadvantages. True, it extends your enjoyment an other week, but playoff considerations, sitting players and injuries all begin to take it's toll on your line-up. There is nothing more frustrating than drafting a contender, performing well all year, just to have your studs sit come playoff time. Colt owners were the first to feel the wrath this week, as coach Caldwell decided it was time to protect his players rather than their undefeated hopes. It's a harsh reality, but the NFL does not revolve around fantasy football. At this point in the season, you have more to lose than... read more

The NFC two-seed is up for grabs. Who will pull it down?

Simply Electric!

Fantasy Football Brothers goes into Week 16 with our ears pinned back and our hair on fire. This is the week we have been looking forward to the whole season. This is it, the big one, the one where you collect your title and reap the rewards as you bask in the glory of fantasy greatness. Week 16 offers alot of good matchups in the NFL as teams are scrambling to fill the last playoff spots. Some of the more notable games this week are the San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins, New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles. One of the games flying under the radar this week is the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the New England Patriots in Foxboro. The Patriots have been offensively challenged their last four games and have... read more

"It has been really a tough couple weeks but you move on. That is the nature of the game. I am happy that we got this victory and I appreciate all the support from my true fans, the players, the coaches, my family and loved ones and I have been in this league 12 years and I have been through a lot. These shoulders I have on my body you could put the earth on it. Just to let you know I bounce back." -Randy Moss

Week 15 was an aerial assault on fantasy nation. DeSean Jackson's maturation into a complete player continued, as Andre Johnson completely torched the Ram's ailing secondary. It looks like Mike Sims Walker once again can be counted upon for fantasy stats. Steve Smith looked like his former self with Matt Moore throwing him the ball. Ochocinco found the end-zone and gave a tasteful tribute to his fallen teammate. Vincent "Jacked-up" what was thought to be a solid Cincy secondary. After catching heavy fire for his half-hearted effort last week, Randy Moss bounced back, while Miles Austin stayed on track and found the end-zone yet again.... read more

Will Percy Play?

The wide receiver position is the deepest position out there, but it is also the most difficult to spot to fill. Fantasy GMs ponder their options week in and week out in attempts to put their best combination of play-makers together. Wide-outs can be streaky plays. Injuries and inconsistencies have plagued the position. Rookies Jeremy Maclin and Percy Harvin are the most recent casualties, but the rest of the crop appears ready for Sunday. The Vikes were clearly not the same team with Harvin out of the line-up. He's frequently been on the IR with "illness", but last week was the first time he sat out. Lingering concerns have Harvin owners worried. He continues to miss practice and will most likely be  a game-time decision. The young receiver suffers from recurrent migraine head aches that can be completely debilitating. We'll keep our ears open. Hines' hammy... read more

Worth the Risk?

Fantasy Football Brothers cruises into Week 15, so get on board, this is a big week for fantasy owners. This is the week that is do or die, no one wants to be left out of their leagues prize pool. In Week 15 there are many concerns with the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. Will they or won't they rest their players? It's the time that teams think about getting healthy for the playoffs, and for fantasy owners there is no worse time. One player we received alot of questions about was Joseph Addai of the Colts. In my opinion he is a "risky" play going into the Jacksonville game because he has a banged up knee. The Colts may choose to go with a tandem of Mike Hart and Chad Simpson, my advice would be to play it safe if you have other suitable starting... read more

The Colts will look to remain perfect.

Thursday night looks like a classic mismatch at first glance. Many NFL fans will instantly think the Colts win in a blowout. Looking further into the numbers, Fantasy Football Brothers thinks there is one team that is great at one thing and another that is pretty well balanced offensively. That doesn't mean they don't have certain deficiencies that can't be exploited though. The Indianapolis Colts come into this game with the number one passing offense in the NFL. It's no secret, Peyton Manning and his wide receivers of Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, and Austin Collie are special. That goes without even mentioning one of the leagues top pass catching tight ends in Dallas Clark. Sprinkle in Joseph Addai catching balls out of the backfield and they are nearly unstoppable. With that said, the Colts are ranked 28th in the league in rushing. They are... read more
