When the season started, we knew there were only a few elite backs that would be available to draft. We also knew there were more than a few committees that would be strong enough to start as solid RB2/Flex plays. The RB position was deep if things played out as expected. Of course we know that nothing ever happens the way it is supposed to. Just ask RB Mark Ingram owners. Fast foward to the beginning of week 3. Fantasy nation was off to a tough start with an already injured RB Arian Foster, then down goes Steven Jackson after his second carry. Chris Johnson is rustier than the tin man. Rashard Mendenhall only has 111 yards rushing so far, Frank Gore has just over a hundred yards rushing on... read more

Every Tuesday the Brotherhood takes a 1ST LOOK at the upcoming weeks RB ranks. RB Jamaal Charles was lost for the year leaving a huge question for fantasy owners and the Chiefs. RB Thomas Jones is the obvious answer, but is he the long term answer? We think not. Look for a combination of Jones, Dexter McCluster and even a little Jackie Battle. Let's not forget about FB Le'Ron McClain who could even find himself in the carry equation at some point. The situation in K.C. screams stay away. They have the look of being a very bad team. The only upside is after the Chargers the AFC West is completely up for grabs. Some of the elite backs that were drafted in the first two rounds have left a little something to be desired. Frank Gore... read more

(1ST LOOK is available only to Brotherhood All-Access Members. This article is a free pre-view.) 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.  On Friday we will post our our final ranks for Week 2. Week 1 showed us some shocking and disappointing moments.  We saw Steven Jackson break a big run and then leave the game never to return. The early news out of St. Louis doesn't sound too promising for Jackson 0wners in week 2. It looks like Cadillac Williams will be a big waiver wire hero. To the surprise of no one Arian Foster sat out week 1. If anyone asked us before the season starter: Who is the better Texan backup?... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers rolls out Part 2 of our Sleepers & Busts. A sleeper pick isn't always a guy that you have never heard of. Sometimes there are players that are getting drafted much later than when they should. It always comes back to value with us. The same goes for the busts. They are not necessarily going to bomb or have a completely awful season. These guys have expectations that do not line up with their actual production or they are being drafted way too high. Miami Sleeper Davone Bess - MIA - WR Bess has quietly produced back to back solid seasons for the Dolphins. He caught 79 balls last year and 76 in '09. He's going in the 14th round (14.02) in 12 team leagues. That's great value for a solid WR3. Value Reggie Bush - MIA - RB I'm not a fan, in... read more

Note to our readers come September 8th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don’t get left out in the cold. Arian Foster’s hamstring injury is a concern but the bigger question is who should you draft as his backup. Derek Ward and second year back Ben Tate have been battling back and forth for the handcuff role. Ward might be the better back but the Texans have a bigger investment in Tate. The jury is still out on what type of season MJD will have since we haven’t had much time to evaluate him. On the positive side Jones-Drew played with the injured knee all season long and racked up over 1,600 yards in just 14 games.  Yes his dynasty/keeper league value takes a hit but... read more

This is part one of my two part installment of a Team by Team Sleepers & Busts.  I don't know about you, but I love to read everything I can on sleepers and busts.  It's often the first thing I flip to when I'm browsing through a fantasy magazine at CVS, and it's the first thing I'll scroll to when perusing a site. I love seeing who the "experts" dub as "sleepers and busts".  I get it.  Who doesn't want to be the first person to take a chance on a late round flier and have him pan out?  If you took Brandon Lloyd in the 16th round last season, you know what I'm talking about.  It's often these late round steals that can put your team over the top. It's the reason why I go Team by Team trying to... read more

Note to our readers come September 8th only subscribing members will be able to use our Q & A all football season long. Don’t get left out in the cold. Fantasy Football Brothers is constantly updating our projections and ranks on an hour by hour basis. Just like the fraud weathermen that have ruined my weekend predicting hurricane/armageddon Irene in the Northeast. We hope all of our friends and readers in the south are alright and doing well. We take another look at the running back position this week. There are plenty of make or break events that will take place this week as we head into the last week of exhibition games. Arian Foster's hamstring injury is a concern but the bigger question is who should you draft as his backup. Derek Ward and second year back Ben Tate have been battling back... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers Free Draft Kit roll out continues today with our RB ranks and writeups. We have been constantly adding and removing players. We are constantly making changes to our ranks as things are literally minute to minute at the running back position. As you have heard us say before there is plenty of talent at RB. Yes the days of 3 down backs are disappearing. They are becoming endangered species. That doesn't mean there isn't plenty of talent available throughout the draft but the lack of quality starting backs are a little thinner than expected. There is a ton to read here so we will keep this intro short and sweet. Remember To Ask Us A Question. It's still free until the start of the season, then it's only available to our Brotherhood All-Access Members.

  The free draft kit rolls on. In fantasy football, knowledge is power.  So today Fantasy Football Brothers will drop a little knowledge on you.  This is a handcuff chart, but this list also serves as an up to date depth chart as things stand right now.  The NFL has only played one exhibition game so far, so rosters are still shaking out.  Who ever you end up drafting you need to know who is next in line for carries.  There are some teams that have clear cut backups, other teams have their depth chart constantly in flux. There are some teams that have backup players that are truly closer to being the 1B on the depth chart than a true handcuff.  Guys like Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert... read more
