Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the tight end position for Week 16. If you are reading this, congratulations, but your work is far from over. For most of us, we are in fantasy depression, our team was good enough, we made all the right moves and decisions, only to have our players disappoint. More than one owner in your league thought he had what it took and more than one owner is saying wait 'til next year as he tries to decide between Matt Kemp and Justin Verlander in his dynasty fantasy baseball league. But you are not there yet....you stayed away from the light and were rewarded one more weekend in the sun to achieve fantasy glory. Let's not disappoint our loved ones....let's bring home that trophy to put on the mantle for the Holidays...okay, maybe not in most households, but I'm sure... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to Week 14. If you made it this far, congratulations, but there is more work to be done. If you earned yourself a bye, a double congratulations. The tight end position continues to be the Gronk and Graham show. In fact, it's getting too easy to put these guys number one and two each week. This week should be no different as the Pats take on the Redskins and the Saints battle the Titans. Jermichael Finley finally showed up last week which was nice for fantasy owner's, maybe he will get on a roll and reward fantasy owner's who drafted him early. Yes, I'm thinking of myself here. Looking for a couple of sleepers in Week 14? While we suggest always starting your studs, we think Aaron Hernandez gets in on the fun this week, as well as... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's offers up our Week 13 Tight End Rankings. The position continues to be a nice source of points for fantasy owner's. They are either giving owner's that extra oomph, if that's a word, or they are filling in nicely as a receiver two, sometimes a receiver one in most cases. As I said in First Look this week, the G and G boys, Gronk and Graham continue to make a mockery of NFL defenses. The Brother's look for the trend to continue as the Patriots take on the Luck-less Colts* ( pardon the expression) and the Saints battle the Lions. *In case you were born under a rock, there is popular belief that the Colts are throwing this season to win the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes. In case you don't follow NCAA Football, Luck... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's offers up our final ranks for Week 11 Tight Ends. Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots remains in the top slot as he should have a field day against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. There was a great deal of movement at the tail end of the rankings as there were some injuries that shuffled guys up and down the ranks. The most serious injury being Jeremy Shockey of the Panthers who is doubtful with a rib injury. The teams on byes this week are the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans. Please adjust your roster accordingly. Here are the Week 11 Tight End Ranks: 1) Rob Gronkowski - NEP - TE, vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Mon 8:30 PM 2) Jason Witten - DAL - TE, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Aaron Hernandez - NEP - TE, vs. Kansas City Chiefs,... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's rolls into Week 11 with our First Look Series. In many leagues the playoff picture is starting to take shape, good teams are starting to rise to the top and mediocre teams are just trying to hang on. There are many good tight end's on byes this week. Most notable Jimmy Graham of the Saints, but there is also Owen Daniels of the Texans, as well as Heath Miller of the Steelers. The Colts are also on a bye this week if anyone cares. Rob Gronkowski gets the top spot this week and it doesn't look like that will change going into the weekend. The guy is simply amazing on the football field and really seems to be uncoverable. The only times teams shut him down is when he is asked to block in the Patriots non-existant run game, and he is even an excellent... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a peek at the Week 8 Tight End Ranks. There are some notable TE's with bye weeks this week that includes: Tony Gonzalez (Falcons), Jermichael "Bust" Finley (Packers), Dustin Keller (Jets), and Kellen Winslow (Bucs). We were spot on with Jimmy Graham last week against the Colts. We would say 6 receptions for 54 yards with 2 TD's satisfied owner's last week. Graham continues to be a "beast" and he plays with a quarterback and coach who understand how to utilize his freakish abilities. This week we have Jason Witten as our top TE choice. The Eagles in the past had the linebackers that could do a decent job on Witten. This season that has been a position of concern for the Eagles. The Brother's don't see how they can address Witten doing his best work in the middle of the field with a healthy... read more

My boss came to me the other day and said why would you tout yourself to subscribers we already have who can see the First Look Series. He said the point is to try and get new subscribers who can reap the benefits of all our hard work and research. So, this is basically what was written in the First Look. If you are already one of our loyal reader's, we thank you and hope the season is going well: The tight end position possibly gets Antonio Gates back this week, but we remain cautiously optimistic. The position saw the full return of Aaron Hernandez in Week 6 and he didn't disappoint. Jimmy Graham continues to be a beast and while we don't like to gloat, it's safe to say, "We told you so." Here's what we said about Graham in our Draft Kit: 6) Jimmy... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Tight End Final Ranks for Week 4. The postion continues to be one where fantasy owner's can find extra points week to week. Antonio Gates owner's should be concerned as his foot is not getting better. There is a thought that he might miss the season if surgery is indeed necessary. We again take a look at the Studs and Duds from Week 3. As always we take a look back before we can look forward to Week 4. STUDS: Jermichael Finley-Packers-7 rec., 85 yards, 3 TD's on 8 targets-This is what Finley owner's were waiting for. Rob Gronkowski-Patriots-7rec., 109 yards, 2 TD's on 9 targets-He continues to be out of this world productive.

It's Week 4 in the NFL and Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the rankings in our First Look Series. The list this week is led by the Packers' Jermichael Finley who had 3 TD's last week and looks to build on that production going forward. We had the Saints' Jimmy Graham in the top spot last week and he didn't disappoint fantasy owner's. Speaking of disappointment, Antonio Gates owner's were feeling the loss, hopefully you found a good replacement for his production, say the Steelers' Heath Miller or the Bills' Scott Chandler. Fantasy owner's should continue to monitor the status of the Charger's Antonio Gates heading into the week. This Friday these ranks will be solidified for Week 4. Here are the First Look Ranks: 1) Jermichael Finley - GRE - TE, vs. Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Rob Gronkowski - NEP - TE, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:15 PM 3)... read more
