Note to our readers come September 6th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don’t get left out in the cold. It's that time of year again. We are in the middle of the dog days of summer, training camps across the NFL are breaking and we release our annual rookie RB report. I enjoy writing these more than anything else we do here. The rookies are always the sexiest, because they have so much upside. They potentially mean rebirth for your favorite franchise, a new name to follow and cheer on for the years to come. You secretly hope the franchise savior is not the next Rashaan Salaam. Or for that matter, the seemingly never ending long line of Penn State busts at running back. Yeah I'm talking to you Larry Johnson. The newbies bring... read more

A top 200 ranking is an essential tool that every fantasy owner should use to help dominate their draft.  It helps owners gauge a players overall value instead of his positional value.  As usual, we went a little bit deeper and ranked the top 240 players.  We feel it was important to rank every player that could become relevant at some point during the season.  I left out defenses and kickers because my colleague Rob has already covered them extensively in his positional write ups.  We will continue to update these rankings as the season approaches. Top 240 1) Chris Johnson - TEN - RB 2) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB 3) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB 4) Ray Rice - BAL - RB 5) Frank Gore - SFO - RB 6) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR 7) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB 8) Michael Turner - ATL - RB 9) Drew Brees - NOR -... read more

Don’t forget the Brotherhood All-Access Membership is here. Dominate your draft with our customized league scoring draft tool. Have a question, bounce it off of us before you make a final decision on trades or player pickups. We are here to help you win a title. The Brotherhood has been hard at work with our draft kit roll out. Last week we ranked all of the RBs and this is our combined ranks. There was a ton of debate here as usual with fists being pounded on the table and lots of spirited discussion to put it mildly. We will be updating our positional ranks early and often as we head towards the start of the season.  And as a note to the reader, even though there are some injuries already, we are not going to move the players up and down the ranks due to a minor injury.  *Asterisks Are Next... read more

We are keeping an eye on Knowshon Moreno and Pierre Thomas closely right now. The Broncos signing of LenDale White will eventually bump him down the ranks now that he has landed in Denver. Let us know what you think,... read more

There are some rules in keeper league's that all of us owner's go by. It is a credo, a strict set of rules we manage our teams with, not to be strayed from the path. One is when a runner is nearing the age of 30, it is in our best interest to cut bait and go catch another younger runner. It is the over 30 rule in the NFL that has been drilled into our heads. Love it or hate it, it is not a trend, it is a fact. Running backs slow down when they hit the age of 30. Some players can defy the laws of aging, thinking Thomas Jones here, and some have a hard time making it to 30, thinking Clinton Portis. It all has to do with tread on the tires. How many carries... read more

The Washington Redskins have made the biggest splash during the offseason with the hiring of H.C. Mike Shanahan and landing QB Donovan McNabb. Who would expect anything less from owner Daniel Snyder? Now the team must protect their new quarterback as well as address the running back situation that grows worse with each passing day. Clinton Portis, Willie Parker and Larry Johnson oh my! In the Crosshairs will break down a teams recent draft history and get a feel in the direction they might or should go in the upcoming 2010 NFL Draft.  Recent 1st Round Draft History: 2009: Brian Orakpo-DE-Texas 2008: No Pick 2007: LaRon Landry-S-LSU 2006: No Pick 2005: Carlos Rogers-CB-Auburn----Jason Campbell-QB-Auburn The Redskins hit on Brian Orakpo in last year's draft and he was an instant impact for the team's defense.
