Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Tight End rankings for Week 3. Last week there were some disappointments in the position, but there were also some pleasant surprises. We take you through the Studs and Duds of Week 2 before we get to our Week 3 Rankings. STUDS: Tony Gonzalez-Falcons-7 rec., 83 yards, 2 TD's on 9 targets-It was nice to see the Godfather of the modern tight end back in form. Dustin Keller-Jets-6 rec., 101 yards, 1 TD on 6 targets-Keller has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owner's so far. The Jets run game is struggling and Keller is reaping the benefits. Fred Davis-Redskins-6 rec., 86 yards, 1 TD on 7 targets-If Davis is still on your league's waiver wire, go get him now. Rob Gronkowski-Patriots-4 rec., 86 yards, 2 TD's on 6 targets-This is getting to be a weekly thing, we just wonder how he... read more

(1ST LOOK is available only to Brotherhood All-Access Members.) Every Tuesday the Brotherhood takes a 1ST Look at this weeks upcoming ranks. Even though these ranks are not set in stone it is always good idea to start planning ahead. We offer the earliest look at your team's ranks in the industry. On Friday we will post our our final ranks for Week 3. The TE position continues to be a place where fantasy owner's can find extra points on their rosters. There are some guys who have surprised this season (Scott Chandler) and there are guys who have been disappointing (Antonio Gates). There are also guys that have vaulted themselves into the discussion as elite TE's (Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski). Speaking of Aaron Hernandez, he will miss time with a knee injury. This will undoubtedly hurt fantasy owner's, but the position is deep enough that a suitable... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes an updated look at the tight end position heading into 2011. While not a deep position overall, there are a lot of solid options throughout these ranks. What does this mean to us as fantasy owners? It means a wise draft strategy is at play here. You can select one of the top or elite TE's such as Antonio Gates, Jason Witten, Dallas Clark or Vernon Davis earlier in the draft. After all their production is at WR1 status, so why reach on a WR2 when you can get their production instead. A cautionary note on Dallas Clark however, with Peyton Manning's uncertainty, it would be wise for fantasy owner's to temper their expectations around Clark this season. If you want Gates, you might have to move early to get him though, think third round here. The other's you can wait until the fourth possibly,... read more

Week 16... YIKES!    Hopefully your like me, playing for a championship in one league, semi's in another, and thankfully out of the playoffs in a third so that I can focus on the truth.  I've found that both of my "big" matchups are fairly even, and the TE spot could be crucial in both.  My opponents have Witten and Vernon Davis which makes things a bit more complicated.  I'm flying with Boss (as a substitue for Aaron Hernandez) in one league and praying for Owen Daniels in my other league (as a substitute for Antonio Gates).  Surely you guys can relate!!  It's all about maximizing your potential and playing the matchups at this point in the season, and the chips will fall regardless.  Hopefully you have one of the top 5 TE's playing this week (as both of my opponents... read more

Week 16 will determine the fate of many fantasy seasons.  At this point, it's the little things that make a big difference!  The TE spot is usually overlooked on draft day, but come championship time, you can bet that the remaining teams will have one of the top TE's.  Hopefully you fit into this category, otherwise there will be some tough choices this week.  Here is the preliminary ranking for the TE spot.  If you have one of the top 10, then sit back and relax!  Otherwise...  If your desperate, these are a few guys worth gambling on this week:  Todd Heap if he is able to play, Randy McMichael if Gates is out, and Rob Gronkowski (Brady usually goes every other week with his TE's and Hernandez was clearly the TD guy this past week!).  As always, the FFB... read more

Week 15 is upon us, and the Fantasy Playoffs are in full swing.  Be sure to start your studs, and if you desperate, narrow down your options and then read the rankings to make your final decision.  Some notables this week are Owen Daniels, Marcedes Lewis, Bo Scaife, and even Zach Miller (Oak) who could all make a nice splash for your fantasy team.  Most of the TE1 talents have nice matchups, so you should have some confidence and be able to rest easy as the FFB guides your team to a Fantasy Championship. 1) Jacob Tamme - IND - TE, vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, Sun 1:00 PM Tamme and the Colts have their back against the wall, and their playoff run could be in jeopardy. Look for Manning to take control early in this one, and Tamme should see... read more

Week 14 has come and gone and for many of us it was an extreme disappointment. The fact that Jay Feely, a kicker, a kicker for Pete's sake outscored Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson combined is a complete travesty. It was another weird chapter in the NFL Season, but in fantasy terms it stayed true to the story that has played out all year. What do I mean you ask? I mean if you had a lineup of Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Greg Jennings, Brandon Lloyd, Jacob Tamme, Mason Crosby, and any defense, you probably lost out to a chump that had Jason Campbell, Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain, Santana Moss, Derrick Mason, Jason Witten, Jay Feely, and any defense. It was that type of week and it's one I would like to forget. Unfortunately, I can't. I can't stand the fact... read more
