  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

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

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

The Week 8 Player Projections are here! I know they're late and I was reminded of that by our esteemed leader Bill Sherman. The truth lies somewhere in between that I lost data due to operator error (Thanks Eric) and the fact that I have been wrapped up in college football lately. My sincere apologies. Fantasy Football Brother's rolls on and as we take a look at the Week 8 Player Projections there are some noticeable names missing due to injury. Here's looking at you Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai, Malcom Floyd and Tony Romo (who according to Roy Williams, Jon Kitna is just as good as Romo) We'll see about that. Week 7 brought us more parity, though we can just call it a competitive balance. What has happened to the New Orleans Saints? They got manhandled by Cleveland last week, maybe Eric Mangini read Bill's... read more

The Brotherhood takes a look at the Week 7 Projections. Hopefully everyone is taking advantage of the Eight Ball to make those hard to decide lineup questions, on top of asking the Brother's any questions you might have concerning fantasy football The injury bug has taken a bite out of fantasy rosters in Week 7 and this is where solid roster depth comes into play. We might have to rethink that whole depth doesn't win fantasy championships after this week. The defensive players have been hit hard by fines due to concussions and certain players such as the Steeler's James Harrison are said to be mulling retirement. While we don't buy into that, defensive guys have come out and said they won't change the way they play and will deal with the fines brought down by the NFL. The NFL is going to act like they care in... read more

1) Roddy White - ATL - WR White continues to dominate the majority of Matt Ryan's attention. Through three weeks, he leads the NFL in targets (41). He should have continued success this weekend vs. a Niner defense that has been a disappointment thus far. Tony Gonzalez emerged last week and should provide White with some defensive respite. He'll find pay-dirt once again. 2) Brandon Marshall - MIA - WR Chad Henne finally stepped up and realized that his success rides solely on his ability to get Brandon Marshall the ball. Marshall made the most of Darrelle Revis' absence and showed why he was a Top 5 Brotherhood favorite entering the season. New England's secondary is extremely young and inexperienced. Marshall shall once again take advantage of a favorable situation. 3) DeSean Jackson - PHI - WR After a... read more

The first bye week is here. With Austin, Dez, Roy Will, Percy, Mike Williams and Dwayne Bowe sitting, fantasy squads find themselves thin attempting to fill out their starting roster. The Denver, New Orleans and Chicago receiving corps are as crowded as ever. Predicting production for these teams will continue to be difficult. Marshall took advantage of Darrelle Revis' absence and should have continued success this week vs. a young and inexperienced Patriots' secondary. DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are getting along quite well with their new quarterback. Andre Johnson's ankle injury is of concern. They're calling it a high ankle sprain, but he thinks he can still play. Wayne and Collie should continue to pile up stats vs. a very poor Jags Defense. Malcom Floyd appears to be the real deal. Colston and Crabtree continue to disappoint. Batch-to-Wallace was something... read more

1) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR This will be an offensive shootout! Andre will prove why he's the best. In order to keep pace with Indy - Johnson needs to have a game. We have no doubts that he will. 2) Randy Moss - NEP - WR Recent frustrations around the Pats failure to address his contract will not effect his performance on Sunday. The Pats D is porous. We expect high scoring from both teams. 3) Reggie Wayne - IND - WR Despite play-maker saturation, Wayne remains Peyton's primary. Clark, Garcon and Collie will compete for Peyton's attention, but Wayne should top the target list. 4) Brandon Marshall - MIA - WR Marshall will make his Miami debut vs. the Bills. He'll show why he was the biggest off-season acquisition. 5) Calvin Johnson - DET - WR Has a track record for burning the Bears. Chicago's pass-rush will have Stafford under-fire, but... read more

1) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR He's caught over 100 passes in three out of the past four years. He's had back-to-back 1,500 yard seasons. He's averaged over 97 yards per game over the past three years and has averaged 7 catches per game over the past two. QB Matt Schaub is rising in the ranks. With the return of TE Owen Daniels and the anticipated emergence of WR Jacoby Jones, Johnson could find himself with his best supporting cast yet. The run game was non existent in 09, but look for second year man RB Arian Foster to provide the offense with better balance. Johnson will once again cross the century mark in catches and should post double-digit scores. He's the definitive No. 1. No contest!   2) Randy Moss - NEP - WR Moss... read more
