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

Fantasy Playoffs It's was just ten short years ago when  an incredulous Jim Mora responded to a reporters question about making the playoffs. His immortal retort. "Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs? Are you kidding me? Playoffs?" That interview is still as funny now, as it was ten years ago. Sadly today only an owner that has made their fantasy playoffs will find humor in that. Congrats to all of you that have made your fantasy playoffs.  It's time to bring home a trophy. For those that missed out in the playoffs, look back and see what you could have done differently. Whether it was poor drafting, team mismanagement or lineup problems all of these issues can be fixed. We can help. I will talk about this at another time but... read more

  Thursday Night Football   Our 1ST Look RB Ranks promised a great RB matchup on Thursday with Marshawn Lynch and an injured LeSean McCoy battling it out. Lynch was ranked 10th and McCoy 8th and both lived up to the hype and earned their lofty rankings especially Lynch. He racked up 148 yards rushing and two scores. He now has four games of over a hundred yards rushing in his last five games with a near miss of 88 yards rushing in the other game. He has scored 5 touchdowns in his last five games and has now scored at least one touchdown in his last 8 games. McCoy was no slouch either Thursday with 84 yards rushing and a score to go along with his 4 receptions for 49 yards and a receiving touchdown. He has been the... read more

RB Two Where are you?   I feel like I have been asking this all season long. A few weeks ago I wrote about how maybe it's time to re-evaluate the RB draft philosophy. This is the first time the RB2 guys have all shown up at once. It was also a lot easier to notice their arrival with all of the disappointing performances from the elite backs in week 12. Was it a perfect storm of matchups and coincidences? Or are some of the backs that we have been waiting on all year finally healthy? I think we are dealing with a lot of factors that would best explain week 12. One it was a perfect storm of events. Chris Johnson finally breaking some long ones. Wells finally healthy enough to carry the ball more than 13 times in a game or to even be on the field on back to back... read more

To All of our readers, we wish a very Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.   I'll be back on Friday with more RB news that you can use INJURIES RB Fred Jackson-BUF Jackson went from questionable to already ruled out to maybe out for the year. We don't have any details other than he is definitely out this week. C.J. Spiller will be moved back from WR to RB. The Bills just lost a huge piece of that offense. Jackson has been the lone spark plug to that offense, since the passing game has gone down hill over the last month. Spiller might not be a great runner but he is a great pass catcher. Spiller becomes a decent flex play in PPR leagues. Johnny White... read more

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
