Every Monday and Tuesday Fantasy Football Brothers takes a 1ST LOOK around the NFL where we provide instant analysis of what it all means to you in fantasy nation. We take a 1ST LOOK at RB ranks. Week five means four more teams are on a bye Chicago,Green Bay,New Orleans, and San Diego. With the Forte's,Grant's, and L.D.T.'s all out of action in week 5. This weeks top 40 has a completely different look to it. Adrian Peterson will enjoy an easy match up with the Rams after getting pounded by the Packers last night. RB Jerome Harrison played great in place of Jamal Lewis, and has what appears to be a great match up this week against Buffalo (allowing 150.5 rushing yards per game) RB Clinton Portis has been so up and down this year. Portis entered Sunday's game as a 50-50 proposition to play due to injury and rushes... read more

FantasyFootballBrothers unleashes our 1ST LOOK at the Week 4 RB Ranks. The Bye weeks are upon us, and that means for the next 3 months fantasy teams will have to mix and match spare parts at every position. Arizona,Atlanta,Carolina, and Philidelphia have byes this week, and with that goes 7 of our Top 45 RB's. Add in the injury of RB Frank Gore, and the Top 10 has completely transformed from the start of the season. Our final ranks will be out Friday afternoon, and the injury concerns will be addressed after a few days of practice. 1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB 2) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB 3) Chris Johnson - TEN - RB 4) Matt Forte - CHI - RB 5) Cedric Benson - CIN - RB 6) Ronnie Brown - MIA - RB 7) Brandon Jacobs - NYG... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers releases our second edition of our fantasy player projections for Week 3. The reader response was strong and we received some positive and negative feedback. But mostly positive. We hope you enjoyed last week's projections and hope they helped you to win your fantasy matchups in Week 2. While we missed on some: Who would have thought Matt Schaub would have chosen the week two matchup to show up? Or that Tennessee's defense would decide to take the weekend off. Our projections are not tied to our ranks, as we try and give you the reader as many looks and scenarios as possible in the fantasy game. We are here to help you dominate your league, keep you three steps ahead of the rest of the league, answer your tough questions, and help you win your league. So with all of that out of the way let's get to the... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers prepares you for week 3. Running games across the NFL have suprisingly struggled in the early part of this season. Teams that have predicated their success around a strong run game have been forced to all but abandon the run, and go to the air. The Bears,Giants, Falcons, and Steelers all teams that were very successful last year running the ball, have seen a dramatic difference this year. Opposing defenses have sold out to stop the run, and the run blocking for all of the above teams has gone from above average to down right hideous. These teams long term success hinges on having a strong run game. Look for all of these teams to continue to try and run the ball. Because if not this will be a very long season for fantasy owners, and the fans of those teams. 1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB A.P. was shut down with only 92 yards... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers 1st look at the early RB ranks. Some of the higher drafted RB's look to rebound from a poor start. RB's Matt Forte has been a bust so far but Forte has a chance to rebound against a team RB Frank Gore shredded for over 200 yards on Sunday. RB Pierre Thomas looks like he might finally be healthy, add in the fact that RB Mike Bell looks like he will be unavailable Thomas has a chance to take his starting job back. RB's Brandon Jacobs, and Steve Slaton are two other backs that have yet to get going concerning fantasy owners everywhere, both have showed little so far to reinstill faith into their owners. We will be back friday with our final ranks. 1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB 2) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB 3) Matt Forte - CHI - RB 4) Chris Johnson - TEN -... read more

1) Adrian Peterson - MIN - RB A very tasty match up against the lowly Lions. A.P. owners rejoice 2) Maurice Jones-Drew - JAC - RB M.J.D. was very productive against the Colts last week expect a bunch of touches against the Cards this week. 3) Michael Turner - ATL - RB Turner was shut down last week, despite the large amounts of carries. The Falcons will not abandon the run so look for Turner to continue to get a heavy workload against the Panthers 4) Chris Johnson - TEN - RB Johnson looks to breakout against the Texans, I'm expecting a big game for him this week. 5) Matt Forte - CHI - RB I thought Chicago finally found a QB to take the pressure off of the run game? 6) Steven Jackson - STL - RB How does an offense that lousy not get the ball once to Jackson through the air? A 4.2 yards per carry though makes... read more

Not all champions are born, some get made. The waiver wire is the place where the smart proactive fantasy owner's can uncover hidden gems. Every year a couple of guys go undrafted only to emerge as the season progresses to lead fantasy team's to their league's title. Steve Slaton did it last year and Ryan Grant the year before him. It happens every year and will certainly happen again this year. Each week we will release a list of players who have significant fantasy value but are not owned in most leagues. These guy's can be picked up off your leagues waiver wire and either plugged into your starting lineup or used to provide your team with depth. Depending on your league size and scoring format some of these players will hold more value than others. Some of the players mentioned will have no significant fantasy value in smaller leagues,... read more

The final week of the pre-season is upon us.  The fourth week is usually a backup festival that probably wont reveal anything we don't already know.  So I decided to take a longer look at week three.  The third week of the pre-season is the most important.  With most of the starting roster spots already solidified teams use the third game to play starters the longest to gauge there progress.  The players use the third week to get into shape and get acclimated with the contact and speed of the game.   It is also a chance for young guys to climb the depth chart in hopes of seeing playing time when the games count.  The fourth game of the pre-season is for fringe players to try and make a name for themselves and earn a roster spot.  The guys on this list are players who have either raised questions or... read more

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
