1) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR He's caught over 100 passes in three out of the past four years. He's had back-to-back 1,500 yard seasons. He's averaged over 97 yards per game over the past three years and has averaged 7 catches per game over the past two. QB Matt Schaub is rising in the ranks. With the return of TE Owen Daniels and the anticipated emergence of WR Jacoby Jones, Johnson could find himself with his best supporting cast yet. The run game was non existent in 09, but look for second year man RB Arian Foster to provide the offense with better balance. Johnson will once again cross the century mark in catches and should post double-digit scores. He's the definitive No. 1. No contest!   2) Randy Moss - NEP - WR Moss... 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

Draft time is here! It's what we've been preparing for all off-season. Your other responsibilities and obligations take a back seat as you begin to set your sites on a fantasy title. Pre-Season Week 3 often reveals the most, but some of us have our drafts this weekend. Much has happened to the wide-out pool: Sidney Rice could miss half the season. Vincent Jackson is still waiting to be traded. Percy Harvin's continued struggle with Migraines is concerning. Dez appears ready to get back on the playing field, while Chaz Schilens finds himself side-lined once again. Who's stalk is rising? We like Jabar Gaffney, Malcom Floyd and Johnny Knox. Josh Cribbs has played more of a role in Cleveland's passing game than most expected. Wes Welker has proven to be an incredible healer. Larry Fitzgerald cringed as he watched his starting quarterback... read more

The NFL has developed into a pass-happy league. With the playbooks opening up, and the offenses spreading out, Wide Receivers have leap-frogged running backs as the staple of fantasy success. The elite top runners kick off the first round in most formats (Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Ray Rice, and Frank Gore), but past that, WRs have infiltrated the bottom half of the first round and dominate the second. Recent ADP (Average Draft Position) trends have Andre Johnson, Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne as first rounders in standard scoring/12 team formats. 6 out of 12 second round spots are going to pass-catchers. That's more than any other position.  We’ll continue to keep an eye on the injuries. Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson and Hakeem Nicks enter 2010 with high expectations. None of their camp ailments appear serious. We’re not worried... read more

The Brotherhood continues to preach that Fantasy titles are won with a strong WR corps. Andre Johnson is the definitive Number One, but the rest of the top 10 is up for grabs. In a deep league? Here's 100-plus pass-catching options heading into the 2010 season. 1) Andre Johnson - HOU - WR Stands alone at the top. The definitive No. 1. 2) Miles Austin - DAL - WR The Dallas offense should be as explosive as ever. From 09 sleeper to top 5 prospect. A full season as the starter should reward fantasy owners with elite stats. 3) .Brandon Marshall - MIA - WR Marshall could very well win the reception title and turn Miami away from their wild-cat ways. 4) Randy Moss - NEP - WR Welker may start the season on the PUP list. Brady's in a contract year. Moss will... read more

51-75 could all rotate spots before the opening of the season. This group consists mainly of team's deep WR2/WR3 prospects.   Rookies to climb ranks by season's start?Golden Tate and Arrelious Benn will both hit the field immediately. Tate is in the better situation for he won't enter as Seattle's WR1, easing pressure and allowing him to work against less superior coverage. Housh is aging and has struggles since being in Seattle. Detroit trading to get Nate Burleson opens up plenty of targets to go around. With a re-vamped running game and Matt Hasselbeck looking healthy, Tate could impress in his virgin season.  Benn instantly becomes Tampa's go to guy. This bodes well for future fantasy success, but rooks who hop directly into the 1 spot often struggle as the acclimate to the pro game. Fellow rookie Mike Williams may also see starting... read more

The Brotherhood is Back! Wideouts are the topic of the day. As the Running Back position becomes more and more diluted, fantasy GMs would be wise to realize that championship contenders are built around a solid receiving corp. Today we release the top 25. Tomorrow 26-50, and Sunday 51-75. Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne remain in the Top 10, but their time atop this list is quickly coming to an end. Moss is entering a contract season and the Patriots most likely won't re-sign him. His targets should increase while teammate Wes Welker recovers from season ending ACL injury. Taking his place in the slot will be Julian Edelman, a converted college quarterback out of Kent State. Edelman did his best Welker impersonation last season and will continue to improve if the Patriots are to contend in the... read more

The draft symbolizes renewal for all 32 teams and it is the one day of the year that every football fan can walk away feeling like a winner.

Every few weeks leading up to the draft we will update these profiles, adding some new players and possibly dropping players who's value has fallen. We will continue to evaluate all of the draft prospects, while keeping an eye on the potential play-makers. We will find the players who will have an immediate impact on fantasy football in 2010. We will look for... read more

College week continues here at Fantasy Football Brothers with a look at the receivers. Next week Fantasy Football Brothers begins rolling out its highly anticipated FREE Draft Kit.  Stay Tuned....... The wide receivers in the college ranks have boom or bust written all over them. One thing you know already is that Oklahoma States' Bryant is a star in the making who will put up astronomical numbers. He is special. After the top 30 the rankings get a little dicey as I stated before, the list becomes cluttered with guys who could finish with 700-900 yards and 6-10 touchdowns. It is important to look for guys who are returning to their roles and are also working with the same quarterback and coaching staff as last year. Freshmen (rookie) receivers are like their NFL counterparts, not many produce at high levels, it is a huge adjustment from high school football. Become a Fan on Facebook Dez... read more
