Andre Johnson is showing why he was the No. 1 receiver off the board. The opportunity to to perform against Cortland Finnegan will have him motivated. Hakeem Nicks at the four spot may be a lil generous, but his jump back into fantasy relevance  impressive. With teammate Steve Smith potentially done for the season and Mario Manningham dinged up, Nicks should dominate Eli's aerial focus. Even if Asante returns, Nicks should perform. After a slow start, Marques Colston is playing his best ball of the season. The Saints are very quietly the best team in the NFC. Tom Brady's amazing play is pushing Wes Welker and Deion Branch significantly up the charts. Welker has adjusted well to "life after Moss". He's virtually uncover-able. The Patriots have turned into a team that is virtually impossible to game-scheme against. Greg Jennings' is as if Aaron Rodgers is playing.... read more

  We love Greg Jennings this week. Detroit will have no answer for the stud WR. James Starks should provide the team with decent balance. If he becomes effective between the tackles, opposing safeties will be forced to pick their poison. The Top-10 is stacked with favorable match-ups. We expect both DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin to have solid outings vs. the Cowboys. True, Big D's Defense has improved, but they'll be no match for the speed of Mike Vick and company. Don't be surprised if Maclin out-produces his teammate. Boldin is coming off his best outing in weeks. With the Texan's dead awful defense on tap, expect continued success. Todd Heap's absence will force Flacco to be more heavily reliant on his stud. Tampa's Mike... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's rolls into the playoffs after a long season that was beyond crazy. We all need to take a quick breath to collect ourselves, then it's time to get back to work. This is where all your hard work as an owner pays off. This is why we play the game, whether for pride or for the love of money, it's what we do from here on out that matters. The one notable thing about doing the player projections is noticing how many player's in the NFL are hurt and of those players how many are fantasy stars. Fantasy owner's who have had their "studs" go down will have to rely on the waiver wire, which is why we are here. We have recommended player's throughout the season that have helped owner's get through injuries. It's what we do and we love... read more

  Greg Jennings is our headliner this week as most of us enter the playoffs. He should have his way with a Detroit secondary. Reggie Wayne is coming off his best game of the year. He single handily gave Indy a chance vs. Dallas. Peyton Manning's woes will only help out the superstar WR as the Colts are being forced to throw more than ever as they find themselves in tight match-ups or playing from behind. We're high on both Eagle WRs this week. Although Dallas' secondary has improved, we think that they'll be no match for the speed of Philly's offense. Both Dwayne Bowe and Brandon Lloyd disappeared in Week 13. Expect them both to bounce back. It will be interesting to see how Head Coach Josh McDaniels' firing will effect the Bronco offense, but a... read more

For many, this is the final game of the regular season. Playoff spots are on the line. Here we go! Sneaky Plays: Derrick Mason: Mason has been Flacco's go-t0-guy since the bye week. He's scored in three out of the last four games. He's aging but continues to prove he's got some solid games still under his belt. As Boldin draws opposing defense's superior corners, Mason has been able to take advantage on the opposite side. Eddie Royal: Royal opened the year hot, but then vanished from fantasy relevance. He's coming off his best performance in weeks and looks to be fully healthy after some minor nagging injuries. He gets a bump in return formats. Donario Alexander: Alexander needs to see an increase in snaps, but expect him to make the best of whatever action he sees. He's given us... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's rolls into Week 13 and we present our player projections. There are many notable names missing due to injury and if you have Vincent Jackson or Frank Gore, you'll see they are not included in the projections this week. Which leads me to Jackson. How many owner's had him in their starting lineup after being patient with him all year? All season long he took up a roster spot, yet we stuck by him hoping to eventually cash in on the promise of having him back come fantasy playoffs. Now, his calf injury will set him back some and I have to wonder if he is really injured or if this is just a big F.U. to general manager A.J. Smith? Either way if you started Jackson last week, you came up disappointed, myself included. Frank Gore on the other hand was... read more

Who? Ben Obomanu headlined our "Sneaky Play" section from last week. Seeing that he stepped up, we figured it fitting to give him the pictorial. He's a veteran, though you probably never heard of him. He's been a Seahawk for his entire career - drafted in the 7th round in the 2006. He's no stud by any means, but we believe he'll put up respectable WR3 stats until Mike Williams returns from injury. Over the last 3 games he's hauled down 14 passes, for 306 yards and 2 scores. Not bad! Next up, the Carolina Panthers who have been struggling to defend anyone all season. Let me give you fair warning - Obomanu is no lock for production. That being said, you could do far worse when searching for a desperation play. Who will make this week's "Sneaky Play"... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's heads into Week 12 and we hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. The slate of games was pretty decent and the best game of the night belonged to the Cowboys and Saints. It will be interesting to see if the Cowboys mail it in for the rest of the season or if they decide to play the role of spoiler. If you haven't taken advantage of our services now is the time as we head towards the fantasy playoffs. You don't want to sacrifice all of your league's riches because you didn't want to pay the price of a six pack at the store. Well some might, but for most of us it's what keeps the better half at bay for another year. The fact that you can show him/her that money can actually be made is priceless. Buy... read more

At first I felt uncomfortable placing Dwayne Bowe in the 1 spot, but when you really look at the stats, there is no way that you can't. He's caught at least one touchdown in each of the last six weeks. During that time span, he's found pay-dirt 10 times. There is no one hotter! With Seattle on the menu, the streak will continue. Atlanta will be forced to pass in order to keep pace with the Pack. Roddy White was relitively quiet last week. We expect a little more noise in what should be a high scoring affair. Calvin Johnson will have a shot at a young Pats secondary. They looked strong early vs. the Colts last week, but showed immaturity and weakness in the second half. Megatron sould be one of the biggest fantasy contributors going forward. Andre... read more

  Last week was the debut of our "Sneaky Play" section. We went 4 for 4 with Mike Thomas, Mario Manningham, Nate Washington and Steve Breaston. We expect all these guys to produce yet again this weekend. With Steve Smith sidelined, Manningham will remain an  integral part of the passing attack. Mike Sims Walker is expected to sit vs. the Browns, leaving Mike Thomas with a ton of targets. Washington and Breaston are longer shots to produce, but offer decent upside if your looking for patch duty. Want some new names? Lets take a look: James Jones: With Donald Driver's continued quad concerns, Jones may once again have the opportunity to start. He's been inconsistent at times, but is coming off of his best game of the... read more
