Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to Week 16. In most leagues this is the final game of the season, winner takes all, second place means nothing besides the fact that you showed up. The specialty positions such as kicker and defenses has played an instrumental role in most fantasy owner's success. Those that have been riding the foot of such guys as David Akers and Mike Nugent know what I'm talking about, as well as owner's that started the 49ers defense every week. These players and units helped make up points when your skill set position players had an off day. Think Jermichael Finley's whole season here. Did your kicker or your defense make up those extra points....the safe bet is that if you are playing this weekend they probably did. So, pay close attention because... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a glance at the kickers and defensive units for Week 15. Now, more than ever points are at a premium as fantasy owner's make their way through the minefield that is the fantasy playoffs. Here's the K rankings for Week 15: 1) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 4:05 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, at Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, at Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Kansas City Chiefs, Sun 1:00 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Mon 8:30 PM 6) Lawrence Tynes - NYG - KI, vs. Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 8) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:05 PM 9) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI, vs. Seattle Seahawks,... read more

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

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a final look at the Kickers and Defensive/Special Teams for Week 11. If you owned the Chicago Bears D/ST last week y0u were more than happy with the points they put up. If you were carrying two D/ST's and chose not to start the Bears, then you were probably kicking yourself. It's why you eliminate that situation and just carry one D/ST or K on your roster. Both positions are a crapshoot and again, it's why we preach you are losing value elsewhere on your roster when you are carrying more than one each. Here are the K Ranks for Week 11: 1) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, vs. Kansas... 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

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the glorified soccer players and defensive units in Week 8. On a side note, if you haven't played FIFA '12, you really don't know what you are missing. It's one of the better sports games made in my opinion. The top 3 kicker's this week are the grandfather's of kicker's. It's safe to say they have been kicking for an average of about 20 years in the NFL. Okay, maybe not that much, but these guys have been around the block. The Baltimore Ravens are our top ranked D/ST heading into Week 8 and we'll see if they can actually outscore the anemic offense this week. By the way, was that one of the ugliest NFL games outside of the Seattle vs. Cleveland game? Here are the Kicker Ranks: 1) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Cleveland Browns, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI,... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Kicker and Defensive Unit Rankings for Week 7. Again if you have a kicker on a bye week, that would be: Rian Lindell, Mike Nugent, Stephen Gostkowski, Lawrence Tynes, Alex Henery or David Akers, please make the necessary roster moves. Also, along with that the following D/ST's are on byes this week: Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers. If you are looking for bye week fillers, there is some value to be found throughout the ranks, such as the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, and the Cleveland Browns. Here are the K Rankings for Week 7 1) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, vs. St. Louis Rams, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Indianapolis Colts, Sun 8:20 PM 3) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Minnesota Vikings, Sun... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the kicker and defensive unit rankings for Week 6. Kickers and defenses are hard to peg week to week, but we are here to please. Remember that the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, and Tennessee Titans are all on bye weeks. Adjust your roster accordingly. Kicker Ranks: 1) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, vs. Cleveland Browns, Sun 4:05 PM 2) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, vs. St. Louis Rams, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, vs. Dallas Cowboys, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Billy Cundiff - BAL - KI, vs. Houston Texans, Sun 4:05 PM 6) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, vs. San Francisco 49ers, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Dan Bailey - DAL - KI, at New England Patriots, Sun 4:15 PM 8) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI,... read more

Here are the Kicker and Defensive Unit Rankings for Week 5: 1) Jason Hanson - DET - KI, vs. Chicago Bears, Mon 8:30 PM 2) Neil Rackers - HOU - KI, vs. Oakland Raiders, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Stephen Gostkowski - NEP - KI, vs. New York Jets, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at Atlanta Falcons, Sun 8:20 PM 5) David Akers - SFO - KI, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 4:05 PM 6) Olindo Mare - CAR - KI, vs. New Orleans Saints, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Sebastian Janikowski - OAK - KI, at Houston Texans, Sun 1:00 PM 8) Nick Novak - NYJ - KI, at New England Patriots, Sun 4:15 PM 9) Matt Bryant - ATL - KI, vs. Green Bay Packers, Sun 8:20 PM 10) Ryan Longwell - MIN - KI, vs. Arizona Cardinals, Sun 1:00 PM 11) Robbie Gould - CHI - KI, at Detroit Lions, Mon 8:30 PM 12) Nick Folk... read more

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
