The NFL is said to be a passing league. Fantasy Football Brother's has said that before the saying became a cliche. We will go a step further. The NFL is again becoming a tight end league. As NFL offenses continue to spread the field, the tight end position offers the best chance for teams to create mismatches in the middle of the field. NFL teams and offensive coordinatoors are starting to utilize this as defenses try to keep up. In truth, they can't. One reason they can't is because these guys are athletic freaks that linebackers can't keep up with and corners can't out muscle them for position. Rob Gronkowski holds on to the top spot. A big reason why is that the Jets are reeling and their linebacker play has been less than disappointing. In short, there is no one to cover Gronkowski in the middle... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's looks at the Tight End Final Ranks for Week 4. The postion continues to be one where fantasy owner's can find extra points week to week. Antonio Gates owner's should be concerned as his foot is not getting better. There is a thought that he might miss the season if surgery is indeed necessary. We again take a look at the Studs and Duds from Week 3. As always we take a look back before we can look forward to Week 4. STUDS: Jermichael Finley-Packers-7 rec., 85 yards, 3 TD's on 8 targets-This is what Finley owner's were waiting for. Rob Gronkowski-Patriots-7rec., 109 yards, 2 TD's on 9 targets-He continues to be out of this world productive. Jimmy Graham-Saints-4 rec., 100 yards, 1 TD on 8 targets-We had him ranked number one last week and he didn't disappoint. Owen Daniels-Texans-5 rec., 76 yards, 1 TD on 9 targets-Daniels is Option... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's goes into Week 2 and I don't know how many of you have noticed, but there has been a re-birth at the TE position. The NFL has undoubtedly become a passing league and offenses are spreading defenses out, which in turn creates mismatches. This is extremely beneficial to the TE position which boasts super athletic freakish athletes who can't be covered by linebackers and corners. They are open field assassins who work in the seams of a defense. The Brother's have preached the Big 4 (Gates, Witten, Clark, and Davis), but the way the 2011 NFL Season has started that number could significantly grow into the Super 8 or the Elite 9 status. Before we look ahead, we take a look back at Week 1's STUDS and DUDS. STUDS: 1. Aaron Hernandez-Patriots-7 rec., 103 yards, 1 TD on 10 targets-Hernandez seems to be developing into a... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's kicks off Week 1 of the NFL Season and what a better way to start than a Thursday Night clash between the reigning Super Bowl Champions Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints. Many fantasy owner's will be waiting to see how Jermichael Finley and Jimmy Graham do in their opening game. Finley goes into Thursday night's matchup with a minor ankle injury, hopefully this isn't the start to a long line of injuries for Finley. We hope your draft went smoothly and you're happy with your team heading into the 2011 season, so let's get to the Week 1 Tight End Rankings. Let's get to the ranks: 1) Antonio Gates - SDC - TE 2) Jason Witten - DAL - TE 3) Vernon Davis - SFO - TE 4) Jermichael Finley - GRE - TE 5) Dallas Clark - IND - TE 6) Owen... read more

Fantasy Football Brothers rolls out Part 2 of our Sleepers & Busts. A sleeper pick isn't always a guy that you have never heard of. Sometimes there are players that are getting drafted much later than when they should. It always comes back to value with us. The same goes for the busts. They are not necessarily going to bomb or have a completely awful season. These guys have expectations that do not line up with their actual production or they are being drafted way too high. Miami Sleeper Davone Bess - MIA - WR Bess has quietly produced back to back solid seasons for the Dolphins. He caught 79 balls last year and 76 in '09. He's going in the 14th round (14.02) in 12 team leagues. That's great value for a solid WR3. Value Reggie Bush - MIA - RB I'm not a fan, in... read more

Fantasy Football Brother's takes an updated look at the tight end position heading into 2011. While not a deep position overall, there are a lot of solid options throughout these ranks. What does this mean to us as fantasy owners? It means a wise draft strategy is at play here. You can select one of the top or elite TE's such as Antonio Gates, Jason Witten, Dallas Clark or Vernon Davis earlier in the draft. After all their production is at WR1 status, so why reach on a WR2 when you can get their production instead. A cautionary note on Dallas Clark however, with Peyton Manning's uncertainty, it would be wise for fantasy owner's to temper their expectations around Clark this season. If you want Gates, you might have to move early to get him though, think third round here. The other's you can wait until the fourth possibly,... read more

This is part one of my two part installment of a Team by Team Sleepers & Busts.  I don't know about you, but I love to read everything I can on sleepers and busts.  It's often the first thing I flip to when I'm browsing through a fantasy magazine at CVS, and it's the first thing I'll scroll to when perusing a site. I love seeing who the "experts" dub as "sleepers and busts".  I get it.  Who doesn't want to be the first person to take a chance on a late round flier and have him pan out?  If you took Brandon Lloyd in the 16th round last season, you know what I'm talking about.  It's often these late round steals that can put your team over the top. It's the reason why I go Team by Team trying to... read more
