Fantasy Football Brothers continues to put their readers in the best position to win. We answer every fantasy question you ask. We continue our FREE DRAFT KIT roll out with RB tiers. Having positions in tiers is a very useful drafting tool. This allows owners to put the running back position into some perspective.  Tiering a position assigns a group of players a draft value which can be very handy. This is a great guide for recognizing undervalued players. Using a tiering system can also compose a rattled owner that could start to panic if a position run happens, the tier system gives a player's overall value some perspective.  The simple sheet basically preaches patience so that you don't reach for overvalued players. This is the list that can make an owner look like a genius: An owner becomes a genius when not reaching on a player they targeted but actually grabbed... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers conducted their latest fantasy mock draft on Tuesday night. With the season flying up on us I'd thought I'd breakdown our latest F.F.B. Mock Draft, with Trends, Best Picks, and Suspect Picks. In the middle of the draft we have our draft board that breaks down each owners' picks and the commentary resumes after. This league being a half a Point Per Reception league so Wide Receivers taken early and often throughout the draft. Add in the fact that each team must start 3 Wide Receivers and 1 TE, led to this being a WR heavy draft, and teams sleeping on Tight Ends once the top 5 were all selected. Owners also had a tough time knowing which Running Back was getting what job, and how many carries, so far fewer Rbs were taken during the draft, and there were barely any fliers taken. Here's the League Scoring and Roster... read more

Every fantasy football owner knows they need to have a plan in order to have a successful season.   The problem is that there's no blue print to make the perfect plan.   The unforeseen happens in football every year.   We usually don't plan for injuries but we should.  Injuries are a part of the game and they are going to occur.   Out of all the positions, running backs are the most susceptible to the injury bug.  When you invest a high draft pick on a running back you should make sure you draft his backup or handcuff. The term handcuff is used because it allows owners to attach themselves to a top draft picks backup.  It’s an insurance policy on your stud running back.  We need insurance on our cars, houses and lives, why not our fantasy football players?   I’m a fan of locking down a teams back field.  This is especially... read more

This is the Fantasy Football Brothers Top 200 player ranking without kickers.  We left kickers off the list in favor of  players we feel every fantasy owner should become familiar with.  Depending on the size of your league some of these guys will not be drafted but could have an impact at some point during the season.  We will constantly update all of our  player rankings as players gain and lose value throughout the training camp and the Preseason. 1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB 2) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB 3) Michael Turner - ATL - RB 4) Matt Forte - CHI - RB 5) Steven Jackson - STL - RB 6) Larry Fitzgerald - ARI - WR 7) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR 8) DeAngelo Williams - CAR - RB 9) Chris Johnson - TEN - RB 10) Steve Slaton - HOU - RB 11) Drew Brees - NOR - QB 12) LaDainian Tomlinson - SDC -... read more

Welcome to FantasyFootball Brothers. We continue our Free Draft Kit Roll Out. It is Running Back week here at F.F.B. and today we have the writers combined ranks/projections.  The running back position is under the greatest flux of any position with the nightmare situation called the Running Back By Committee. The R.B.B.C. movement is in full swing making the position diluted and supersaturated with specialized players and split duties. The second part of this post is our Pre-Season Awards for the Running Backs. The first week of camp is now coming to end the stories have been flying out of the camps at a break neck pace. The local, and national electronic media have been putting out gushing tales about how rookies and underused players from last season look impressive, and how all of the players that are returning from injury look explosive. We all know these are early fluff pieces,... read more

Welcome to FantasyFootball Brothers. We continue our Free Draft Kit as we roll out the running backs. It has been Running Back week here at F.F.B. and today we release our rankings/projections with commentary. The running back position is under the greatest flux of any position with the nightmare situation called the Running Back By Committee. The R.B.B.C. movement is in full swing making the position diluted and oversaturated with specialized players and split duties. Though the list is very long, the ranks toward the end don’t necessarily mean the players won’t shoot up in the ranks come the following weeks. With the first week of camp stories have been flying out from the local papers and news media about how rookies and underused players look impressive, and how all of the players returning from injury look explosive. Fantasy Football Brothers will weed out the duds and find you the... read more

This week the brokers from the Brotherhood focus on what stock options are available heading into the 09 season. Selling before the crash and buying on the cheap can lead to fantasy cash flow. We’ll provide free quotes and offer up-to-date stock analysis on today’s market trends. In Part I of this two edition piece, we’ll explore "Risers", "Fallers", and "Bargain Buys". Tune in tomorrow for "Sell-High", "Buy-Low", "Liabilities" and "Insurance Policies" (Handcuffs). FFB is committed to making sure you get proper return on your fantasy investments. Stock Rising Jonathan Stewart - CAR - RB Stewart is much more than an insurance policy and should prove to be a high-end RB3 play. He quietly scored 10 touchdowns last season and rebounded well from off season injury. Carolina will continue to rely heavily on the run, despite resigning Delhomme to a long term deal - BAD MOVE. The two headed monster split goal-line work... read more

Like it or not the touchdown vultures are here to stay in the NFL. The game has become more specialized and running the ball in from 5 yards on out has become a specialty. I can think of some guys who have made careers out of being touchdown vultures, like Mike Alstott. Jerome Bettis towards the end of his career also comes to mind. The modern goal line backs are sometimes hard to find, but the ones that are there every year are easy to identify, think T.J. Duckett, who has made a career out of other people’s scraps. A touchdown vulture will help you in your draft and make excellent bye week replacements, if these guys scamper one inch for a touchdown, they can net you 6 points. Julius Jones could rush 15 times for 60 yards and get you 6 points, see the upside? So without further ado,... read more

1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB The clear cut number one!   2) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB Finally a shot at being an every down back.   3) Matt Forte - CHI - RB An all purpose guy on a team with questionable receivers.   4) Michael Turner - ATL - RB High workload in 08 has Turner on injury watch. Stat that may surprise - Turner only had 6 catches in 08.   5) Chris Johnson - TEN - RB He's so fast he ran his way into the top five. LenDale's carries get compromised.   6) Steven Jackson - STL - RB If healthy could be a beast... "IF Healthy" the important part in that sentence.   7) Steve Slaton - HOU - RB Will be hard to have a repeat performance of 08. The Texans did little to back him up, or take away goal-line carries.   8) LaDainian Tomlinson - SDC - RB Return of the King? Not ready to jump ship just yet.   9) DeAngelo... read more
