Week 4 is in the books and week 5 is upon us.  This kicks off the first week of byes so make sure you plan accordingly.  Fantasy owners will be without Tony Romo, Joe Flacco, Rex Grossman and to a lesser extent, Chad Hene, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford. Pittsburgh is optimistic that Big Ben will be ready to go after suffering a sprained foot in Sundays loss to the Texans.  The Steelers are hosting a Titans team that currently ranks in the top 10 in both run and pass defense.  This might be a good week to sit Roethlisberger.   Cam Newton has been electric.  He has exceeded all expectations and should be considered a must start top 10 quarterback going forward.           1) Tom Brady - NEP - QB, vs. New York Jets, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB, at Atlanta Falcons, Sun 8:20 PM 3) Drew Brees - NOR - QB, at Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00... read more

  Fantasy Football Brother's takes a peek at the quarterbacks for Week 4. The Patriots' Tom Brady continues to put up eye-popping numbers and there was a discussion around the round table today. It involved the question, "Is Tom Brady the best ever?" When you sit and watch Brady, are we watching the best NFL player ever? As you sit there with your kid watching the game, are you telling him/her that he is the greatest player or quarterback ever to play the game? We ultimately came to the decision that he is.... If you are a Philip Rivers owner is it time to panic? Why do I always seem to get him in a down year is the question we were asked by some. Rivers' owners' shouldn't panic, it could be worse, you could make a trade for Eli Manning and give... read more

1) Tom Brady - NEP - QB, at Oakland Raiders, Sun 4:15 PM 2) Drew Brees - NOR - QB, at Jacksonville Jaguars, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB, vs. Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 4) Matthew Stafford - DET - QB, at Dallas Cowboys, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Philip Rivers - SDC - QB, vs. Miami Dolphins, Sun 4:15 PM 6) Ben Roethlisberger - PIT - QB, at Houston Texans, Sun 1:00 PM 7) Michael Vick - PHI - QB, vs. San Francisco 49ers, Sun 1:00 PM 8) Ryan Fitzpatrick - BUF - QB, at Cincinnati Bengals, Sun 1:00 PM 9) Matt Schaub - HOU - QB, vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, Sun 1:00 PM 10) Tony Romo - DAL - QB, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 1:00 PM 11) Matt Ryan - ATL - QB, at Seattle Seahawks, Sun 4:05 PM 12)... read more

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but the quarterback position is as deep as it's ever been.  Legitimate fantasy starters are emerging from teams we thought wouldn't have a chance to produce them.  Rex Grossman, Cam Newton and Ryan Fitzpatrick are putting up solid numbers despite going undrafted in most formats.  Sure this could all change as soon as defenses catch up to the offenses and we see less blown coverages, but that hasn't happened yet. Teams are throwing more than ever, and that trend will continue.  As long as it does most owners won't have to worry about finding a top notch fantasy signal caller.  They'll simply pluck one from the waiver wire when the match up is right. It's the reason I wasn't sold on taking one in the first round. ... read more

Every Tuesday the Brotherhood drops our 1ST LOOK at the upcoming week. We put out a Brotherhood All-Access Members Only cheat sheet for this weeks ranks. We will let things develop as the week goes on and tighten up our ranks with our Final ranks on Friday. There are a ton of QBs that are and were considered elite before the start of the season that are under performing. Guys like Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning and Josh Freemen have been downright awful. The reasons for their poor play vary from player to player but we expect bounce backs from all of the guys on the list. What goes down must come up. Tony Romo suffered a fractured rib and punctured lung his availability for week three is up in... read more

Week 1 was a wild one for the quarterback position.  It proved to be as deep as advertised, with 14 throwing for more than 300 yards.  We can expect the gaudy passing totals to continue in week 2 as well.  The defenses are not up to speed with the offenses and it shows.  I think we'll see this trend continue going forward.  1) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB 2) Tom Brady - NEP - QB 3) Michael Vick - PHI - QB 4) Drew Brees - NOR - QB 5) Philip Rivers - SDC - QB 6) Matthew Stafford - DET - QB 7) Tony Romo - DAL - QB 8) Matt Schaub - HOU - QB 9) Ben Roethlisberger - PIT - QB 10) Josh Freeman - TAM - QB 11) Rex Grossman - WAS - QB 12) Joe Flacco - BAL - QB 13) Jay Cutler - CHI - QB 14) Eli Manning - NYG -... read more

Week 1 was a wild one for the quarterback position.  It proved to be as deep as advertised, with 14 throwing for more than 300 yards.  Four threw for over 400 yards, including Chad Henne and rookie Cam Newton.  Both players went undrafted in most formats, but a sure to come off of waivers this week.  I'm looking forward to see what Newton will do for an encore against the Packers.  As impressive as his debut was, I'm keeping him on my bench in week 2.  Henne had no choice but to throw early and often against the Patriots.  The Dolphins have no ground attack what so ever and will need to throw a lot this year.  How bad was Miami's running game you ask?  Henne led all Miami rushers with 59 yards.  He should be added... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers begins our Free Draft Kit roll out. We know we have released our draft kit a little later than previous years and there is a reason for that. Due to the lockout and free agency frenzy we decided to wait and see how it all shook out. We know everyone's time is limited so why make our readers read a bunch of different versions of our draft kit and waste your time. Or do what we did and wait ten days after the dust has settled a little bit and give you the reader a much more informed look at fantasy nation. The NFL is a quarterback driven league.  Over the years the game has evolved and transformed from a run heavy game to a pass heavy game. The NFL is also more passer friendly than ever... read more

Drafting a successful fantasy playoff team takes a completely different strategy then in the regular season.  The key to a successful fantasy playoff team is projecting who you think will play in the big game.  The problem with this strategy, is that's it's incredibly difficult to do. Outside of the Seahawks every team has a legitimate chance of reaching the Super Bowl.  The key is to fill your roster with as many players who you believe will play in the most games. When drafting you quarterbacks you can't be afraid to double up.  If you draft Brady, Roethlisberger, Ryan or Cutler your going to need another quarterback who will be playing this weekend.  If you draft one of the other eight signal callers playing this weekend, try and draft one of the the other four who have the week... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's puts a wrap on the season as we release our Week 17 Quarterback Rankings. As we have said before, if you play in a league where the fantasy championships are determined in Week 17, it's time for a change. Take a look at the rankings and see the names of some of these quarterbacks that are starting, it's ugly. On top of that certain players slip in the rankings because they probably won't play the whole game (Tom Brady) in games that really mean nothing. Week 17: Quarterback Rankings 1) Aaron Rodgers - GRE - QB, vs. Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Philip Rivers - SDC - QB, at Denver Broncos, Sun 4:15 PM 3) Peyton Manning - IND - QB, vs. Tennessee Titans, Sun 1:00 PM 4) Drew Brees - NOR - QB, vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Matt Schaub - HOU - QB,... read more
