  Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the positions no fantasy owner likes to get beat by, that is the kickers and the defensive units. Last week Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski put on a clinic. Fantasy owner's were kicking themselves (pardon the pun) for leaving this guy on their waivers, or maybe you were one of the unfortunate feeling his wrath last Sunday as you eyed the score constantly going up in increments of three. On a side note, has any player contributed more to his team than Janikowski throughout the years? Who said Al Davis drafted only speed? Davis drafted a left-footed Polish kicking mule who can stretch the field in the kicking game. Here are the Kicker Rankings for Week 13: 1) Mason Crosby - GRE - KI, at New York Giants, Sun 4:15 PM 2) John Kasay - NOR - KI, vs. Detroit Lions, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Dan Bailey -... read more

Also, along with that the following D/ST's are on byes this week: Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.

  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 'Hood takes a look at the defensive squads as we head into the season. There are a lot of standout units this year and the Pittsburgh Steelers enter the season as the Brother's number one unit heading into 2011. Does... read more

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 Brother's put their collective heads together and tried not to cross the streams on these offensive line rankings. There was a strong push to put the Patriots on the top, but in the end the Jets just have... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's winds down to Week 17. As we take a look at the Team Defense Rankings for the week, you'll notice the trend of the cream rising to the top throughout the season. Look at the top 10 defenses in this rank and the only outsider you see is the St.Louis Rams who play against a putrid Seattle Seahawks team. All the other defenses in the top 10 are household defenses, pre-season favorites to lead the pack. Week 17: Team Defense Rankings 1) Atlanta Falcons - ATL - DF, vs. Carolina Panthers, Sun 1:00 PM 2) Pittsburgh Steelers - PIT - DF, at Cleveland Browns, Sun 1:00 PM 3) Baltimore Ravens - BAL - DF, vs. Cincinnati Bengals, Sun 1:00 PM 4) New York Giants - NYG - DF, at Washington Redskins, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Green Bay Packers - GRE - DF, vs. Chicago Bears, Sun 1:00 PM 6)... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's welcomes you to the end of the road. If you have made it here, congratulations, pat yourself on the back and tell everyone you know that you are in the championship game. Okay, skip that last part, because frankly, no one cares but you and us. The truth is if you made it this far, relish the feeling, because it's almost like the SuperBowl in that teams just don't go back regularly. Not everyone can be the New England Patriots or Pittsburgh Steelers, there has to be a doormat team every year. Look at the Carolina Panthers, they went to a SuperBowl and I don't think they will be going back for a long, long time. The same can be said about the Seattle Seahawks, they once went to the big... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes a look at the Week 16 Defense/Special Teams Rankings. I have decided now at the end of the season that I will be calling these Team Defense rankings, because Defense/Special Teams Rankings is too long to type and the abbreviation DST's is not common enough considering it is just STD's jumbled up in a different way. Well with that said, let's get to the ranks. Week 16: Team Defense Rankings 1) San Diego Chargers - SDC - DF, at Cincinnati Bengals, Sun 8:20 PM 2) Philadelphia Eagles - PHI - DF, vs. Minnesota Vikings, Sun 1:00 PM 3) New England Patriots - NEP - DF, at Buffalo Bills, Sun 1:00 PM 4) Baltimore Ravens - BAL - DF, at Cleveland Browns, Sun 1:00 PM 5) Chicago Bears - CHI - DF, vs. New York Jets, Sun 1:00 PM 6) Dallas Cowboys - DAL - DF, at Arizona Cardinals, Sat 7:30 PM 7) New York... read more

Week 14 has come and gone and for many of us it was an extreme disappointment. The fact that Jay Feely, a kicker, a kicker for Pete's sake outscored Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson combined is a complete travesty. It was another weird chapter in the NFL Season, but in fantasy terms it stayed true to the story that has played out all year. What do I mean you ask? I mean if you had a lineup of Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Greg Jennings, Brandon Lloyd, Jacob Tamme, Mason Crosby, and any defense, you probably lost out to a chump that had Jason Campbell, Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain, Santana Moss, Derrick Mason, Jason Witten, Jay Feely, and any defense. It was that type of week and it's one I would like to forget. Unfortunately, I can't. I can't stand the fact... read more
