Fantasy Football Brothers has turned its' focus to the NFL Playoffs. Many fantasy owners are somewhat new to Playoff Leagues, but it is challenging and keeps the fantasy flame burning for a short while. So grab your friends and plan a draft night, because it is time to pull out the cheatsheets all over again. These ranking are in depth and they provide for the leagues that do select backups at their respected positions.  Fantasy Football Brothers takes a look at the Tight End rankings for 2009 Playoff Leagues and these rankings are done by a last man standing type rules. This of course means the highest ranked players we believe will go the furthest in the NFL Playoffs. If you own Dallas Clark and the Colts are knocked out, you are done getting points from the tight end position. While... read more

When Fantasy Football Brothers first started out on our maiden voyage we discussed that we would never tell anyone what to do with their fantasy squad. Fast forward a couple of years and we have basically become fantasy consultants. While we weren't headed in that direction, it is who, and what we have become, and there is nothing more enjoyable than getting emails back from excited owners who say we helped win their game for them. So getting back to my original point we also discussed that we would never tell owner's that they should drop someone, because it is too risky on our part. What if we told a fantasy owner to drop a player and they blew up? We would have to deal with not only letting our reader down, but potentially costing them a championship. It is time we make a change and that is exactly what this article is about. It also comes with a warning though,... read more

I am absolutely giddy about the next two weeks! This is the time of year that most leagues should be hosting there drafts. One of my favorite parts of any draft is taking fliers on players in the later rounds. There isn’t a better feeling than striking gold on a late round flier. This list was created as a tool to help you strike gold on draft day.  You should print this out and slip into the middle of your draft kit. Pull it out and study it while doing your duty on the throne. Familiarize yourself with the names on this list. Some players ranked will simply be players who are being overvalued or undervalued on draft day. Some of the guys will be late round fliers who could prove to be the difference for your fantasy team. We do things a little different with our sleepers and busts.... read more

The tight end position has turned into one of the deepest positions in the NFL. While there are four really solid options who will always start the tight end run in most drafts, smart and savvy owners know they can wait and get one in the later rounds that will offer them great value with huge upside. When another owner wastes his pick on a TE, it just means somebody you like or need will slide to you. If there is a position to wait on, this is it, as even the four solid options have questions or red flags with injury histories, age and changing offensive schemes that might not fit their style of play. If you don't get one of the four when the inevitable TE run occurs, don't panic, remember to wait, those teams that selected those four no longer need a TE which means the remaining teams won't... read more

1) Antonio Gates - SDC - TE Look for Gates to be healthy, and productive in 2009. Although he is getting older, his red zone looks will continue, and his hands are still as good as ever. 2) Jason Witten - DAL - TE He's still a stud, but without T.O. to distract the defense, he should get more double coverage. Romo will still look his way, but it will be tough yardage. I also think he is overdue for an injury, so keep that in mind when you reach for him early in the draft. 3) Tony Gonzalez - KAN - TE Gonzo came back to life in 2008 with 10TD's!! He should continue to be a force in Atlanta with Matt Ryan hurling the rock, but his numbers may suffer with Turner and the rest of Atlanta's talented offense stealing yards and touches. I still anticipate that he will get red zone looks,... read more

Don't forget we are FREE! Donovan McNabb has done more with nothing than any other quarterback in the league. Recently, Donovan has voiced his desires of hoping to be provided with better skill position players. Many thought the Eagles would address the issue in trades - Boldin, Plax, Braylon, Ocho.... With two first round picks at their disposal the Eagles appeared to be the frontrunners in the "Anquan Boldin Sweepstakes". But the Eagles had other plans in mind. They first looked to protect their franchise quarterback by trading one of the their two first round picks to... read more

The tour of all 32 NFL teams continues today with visits with two playoff teams in 08. Our first stop brings us to the Super Bowl runner ups the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are still dealing with the huge distraction that is WR Anquan Boldin.  In Baltimore the Ravens look to rebuild on the defensive side of the ball. The defection of their Defensive Coordinator, and players favorite Rex Ryan and LB Bart Scott could effect the entire team. At Fantasy Brothers we look forward to hearing  your questions and comments. NFL TEAM: ARIZONA CARDINALS MOVES THAT MATTER: The Cards resigned QB Kurt Warner after briefly flirting with San Francisco.... Warner returns to a team that has some questions on the offensive side of the ball.... The biggest question continues to be the status of WR Anquan Boldin..... Boldin pouted in the NFC championship game and was more concerned about his... read more
