To all of our family and friends Happy Holidays to you and yours from all of us at the Brotherhood. We wish everyone all the best tomorrow in the biggest week(Don't Worry Week 17 Owners The Brotherhood Rolls On) of the year for most of fantasy football. Thanks to all that have made the 2011 fantasy season a successful one. It was only a few short months ago, when we wondered if we would even have a football season and now we are here at the end. Go with what got you to the title game, always go with your gut and remember you have a secret weapon that no one even knows exists in your back-pocket. We are Fantasy Football Brothers! INJURIES  Roy Helu-WAS Questionable Helu is dealing with foot issues and is expected to play. How much he actually plays this... read more

There is plenty to talk about at the RB spot this week with injuries dominating the news. DeMarco Murray's breakout came as quickly as his season ended. Darren McFadden is still not ready to return to the field. Adrian Peterson is expected to suit up after missing a few games. Kevin Smith returns after missing a game with a high ankle sprain. RB Adrian Peterson-MIN  Questionable Peterson is expected to return this week barring a last minute set back. AP should handle the bulk of the carries unless the game becomes a blow out and then we might see him a much more limited fashion to keep him healthy.  Toby Gerhart will be relegated to back up duties once again. RB Mark Ingram-NO OUT    With Ingram out again, it will be another RB du jour game. Second year back... read more

The playoffs for most owners, are now under way. For some unlucky players they start next weekend  week 15, which means that they have to play through week 17. We do not envy those that have to play in week 17 due to the fact that some NFL teams begin to rest their players for their own NFL playoff push. The good news is that there are a ton of the elite RBs that will have great fantasy playoff matchups. We love to preach that you should always start your studs. There is nothing wrong with using a strength of schedule. In fact a strength of schedule is a great tool that every owners uses, but you should never live and die by a strength of schedule.... read more

The end of the week means our final ranks for the week. We have updated and moved players up and down the board according to all of the developments of the week. I won't dive deep into last night's football game. While the game had a great finish, it was ugly from a football perspective and was horrifying from a fantasy perspective. When the top three fantasy scorers from last nights game are in order: the Broncos defense, Tim Tebow and Joe McKnight. Yikes. Every few weeks we assess the state of the RB position and take a look forward to next season. Here is an early look at our top 12 2012 RB Ranks. Due to Darren McFadden's injury history, he just missed the cut. McFadden has now missed 3 games or more in each of his first four NFL seasons. He is quickly becoming big time risk big time reward. Even... read more

(Editor's Note: We accidentally left off the San Diego Chargers RBs. Ryan Mathews lands between 18 and 19. Mike Tolbert lands between the 23 and 24 spot. ) We take our 1ST Look at the RBs today. With the start of the Thursday games already in full effect, we take a look at the injuries.  In Philadelphia it will be very interesting to see if LeSean McCoy is as effective without Mike Vick as he is with him. Vick is dealing with broken ribs, and while he hasn't been ruled out, it seems that it is all but a fore gone conclusion, that he will miss week 11. In Denver Willis McGahee was present at the start of practice and barring any setbacks this week is on track to start Thursday Night against the Jets. Speaking of set back and the Jets, LaDainian Tomlinson left... read more

Week 10 is the make or break week for most fantasy owners. If you are already out of the running in your fantasy league, you probably won't be reading this.

Week ten is the odd week of the NFL schedule. All 32 NFL teams will be in action for the first time since week 4. Even though in week 11, the last four teams have their bye weeks. It is also the start of Thursday night football. The slate of Thursday night games other than the Thanksgiving games have been well... Not so great. It is a good thing since half of the country couldn't even watch those games because they are on the NFL network. I can tell you, that you didn't miss anything. Starting this Thursday there is actually a decent matchup. The Raiders coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Tebowing Broncos and the Chargers who are on the tour of misery 2011. Flash... read more

We enter week 8 dealing with all sort of things that have been making a mess of your fantasy squad. Things like bye weeks, injuries and then the under performers. There have been some disappointing RBs this season but that is to be expected. This happens every season. The majority of time you can almost always categorize the reasons for under-performing into two categories.  Injuries and age. Then there is the third category. The there is something very wrong but we don't know what category. Titans Chris Johnson is the epitome of this last group. Currently Chris Johnson is 32nd in the NFL in rushing with 268 yards, only 2 yards ahead of QB Cam Newton. Rookie RB DeMarco Murray ran for 253 yards in week 7. Johnson's 44 yards per game is good enough to rank 32nd. his 2.9 yards per carry... read more

Forget the bye week blues, owners were suffering from the black and blue blues. I was also effected by this in week 7. To be more specific along with my two starting running back my fantasy season with friends just went down the toilet.  My chances of finishing .500 or better let alone winning my league with freinds was all but shot by 1:20 p.m. Sunday afternoon. I lost Marshawn Lynch before he even dressed for the game after being a late scratch and then I lose Earnest Graham for the season after just 3 measly touches. There were R.I.P. jokes about my team on the League message board, mostly sent in by me. You can only laugh when you get 3 touches from two of your starting RBs. There were a ton... read more

Week 7 means we have hit the middle of the NFL bye weeks. NFL Bye weeks lead to the emergence of some unlikely players. Owners are forced to reach and build up players that if the bye weeks were already over these players would likely be a mere after thought.  Like the saying goes necessity is the mother of invention.  These players have emerged as potential BOOM or bust: RB Jackie Battle KC- Battle is a 6 footer that weighs almost 240 pounds. He was timed around 4.3 in the forty yard dash before being drafted. He did well in a run and shoot offense. I have written this a million times in my answers to our subscribers when asking whether Battle is worthy of a start. His skill set is off the charts. On the... read more
