Fantasy Football Brothers continues to put their readers in the best position to win. We answer every fantasy question you ask. We continue our FREE DRAFT KIT roll out with RB tiers. Having positions in tiers is a very useful drafting tool. This allows owners to put the running back position into some perspective.  Tiering a position assigns a group of players a draft value which can be very handy. This is a great guide for recognizing undervalued players. Using a tiering system can also compose a rattled owner that could start to panic if a position run happens, the tier system gives a player's overall value some perspective.  The simple sheet basically preaches patience so that you don't reach for overvalued players. This is the list that can make an owner look like a genius: An owner becomes a genius when not reaching on a player they targeted but actually grabbed... read more

Welcome to FantasyFootball Brothers. We continue our Free Draft Kit as we roll out the running backs. It has been Running Back week here at F.F.B. and today we release our rankings/projections with commentary. The running back position is under the greatest flux of any position with the nightmare situation called the Running Back By Committee. The R.B.B.C. movement is in full swing making the position diluted and oversaturated with specialized players and split duties. Though the list is very long, the ranks toward the end don’t necessarily mean the players won’t shoot up in the ranks come the following weeks. With the first week of camp stories have been flying out from the local papers and news media about how rookies and underused players look impressive, and how all of the players returning from injury look explosive. Fantasy Football Brothers will weed out the duds and find you the... read more

This week the Brotherhood took a tour through the NFC East.   Arguably the toughest division in football  the NFC East is the only division that hosts four legitimate playoff contenders.   It is also the only Division that will see all four teams starting running backs ranked in the top 14.  Fantasy hopes will be resting on these running backs shoulders throughout the year.  With teams going with more of a committee approach, it is crucial to know who will be backing up or splitting carries.   This list is a breakdown of each teams depth and what should be expected out of each player. COWBOYS* 1) Marion Barber - DAL - RB HT:5'11 WT:218 age:26 Barber was unable to step into elite status as we all had envisioned heading into 2008.  He was banged up early and often last year and missed more time than any owner ever wants to see.  It is... read more

Like it or not the touchdown vultures are here to stay in the NFL. The game has become more specialized and running the ball in from 5 yards on out has become a specialty. I can think of some guys who have made careers out of being touchdown vultures, like Mike Alstott. Jerome Bettis towards the end of his career also comes to mind. The modern goal line backs are sometimes hard to find, but the ones that are there every year are easy to identify, think T.J. Duckett, who has made a career out of other people’s scraps. A touchdown vulture will help you in your draft and make excellent bye week replacements, if these guys scamper one inch for a touchdown, they can net you 6 points. Julius Jones could rush 15 times for 60 yards and get you 6 points, see the upside? So without further ado,... read more
