Week 14 K and D/ST Ranks

Posted by in Defenses,Kickers,Ranks on Dec 6th 2011 and last modified on Dec 7th 2011. (Print This)

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes those owner's lucky enough to be in their league's playoffs. The mission is far from over....if you have a bye, take stock of your team and look ahead and see if there are any moves you can make to better your team. If you are out of the Playoffs, stay out of the way. Don't be that owner that interferes in your league's final weeks just to be a thorn in the side of an owner who may have bested you through a trade or knocked you out of playoff contention. Trust me, I've seen friendships lost over things like this. Here are the K Ranks for Week 14: 1) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Sun 1:00 PM 3) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Tennessee Titans, Sun 1:00 PM 4) David Akers -... read more

Week 13 K and D/ST Ranks

Posted by in Defenses,Fantasy Advice,Kickers,Ranks on Nov 29th 2011 and last modified on Dec 1st 2011. (Print This)

  Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the positions no fantasy owner likes to get beat by, that is the kickers and the defensive units. Last week Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski put on a clinic. Fantasy owner's were kicking themselves (pardon the pun) for leaving this guy on their waivers, or maybe you were one of theĀ unfortunate feeling his wrath last Sunday as you eyed the score constantly going up in increments of three. On a side note, has any player contributed more to his team than Janikowski throughout the years? Who said Al Davis drafted only speed? Davis drafted a left-footed Polish kicking mule who can stretch the field in the kicking game. Here are the Kicker Rankings for Week 13: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Dan Bailey -... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's would like to wish all our reader's a Happy Thanksgiving. There is a great slate of games on Thursday, but the headliner will be the Packers vs. the Lions, but the game that could be the best might be the 49ers vs. the Ravens. The Brothers Harbaugh will battle it out in the night game. Here are the Kicker Ranks for Week 12: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Detroit Lions, Thu 12:30 AM 2) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, vs. Miami Dolphins, Thu 4:15 PM 3) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. New York Giants, Mon 8:30 PM 4) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, at Baltimore Ravens, Thu 8:20 PM 6) Nick Novak - SDC - KI, vs. Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 7) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Philadelphia Eagles, Sun 4:15 PM 8) Billy... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Kickers and Defensive/Special Teams units for Week 10. This is a final rank for the week and there are no teams on byes this week. Remember that Thursday night football starts this week, so adjust your rosters accordingly. A friendly reminder to our readers: If you are carrying two kickers and two defenses on your squad, you are losing value down your roster. Why not take a chance on a player who could help you out at a postion you are thin at? Think Antonio Brown here. Here are the final ranks for Week 10: 1) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Mon 8:30 PM 3) Nick Novak - SDC - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Thu 8:20 PM 4) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Alex Henery -... read more

Week 4: Kicker and Defense Ranks

Posted by in Defenses,Fantasy Advice,Kickers,Ranks on Sep 28th 2011 and last modified on Oct 2nd 2011. (Print This)

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
