There are two points of emphasis regarding this round. The first one is that Tottenham and West Ham will play two games each, and the second one being that a lot of regular starters will be rested due to the fixture density during the holidays. I’m suggesting you check to see if Okazaki is available in your leagues, as he’s a player who could soften the blow of all the absentees. ROUND 21: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Two surprises, three goalless draws and wins for Liverpool and Chelsea. That’s the sum of EPL’s Saturday. The Blues…

The Rockies signed Wade Davis to be their closer for the next three or four seasons. The 32-year-old righty performed great for the Cubs last season, posting a 2.30 ERA, 12.1 K/9, and 32 saves. The Rockies hope Davis will be able to continue the high-level production into his mid-30s.The biggest change for Davis, compared to his time closing for the Royals and Cubs, will be a projected increase in his WHIP and ERA because of Colorado’s high home field BABIP. His ERA will likely get bumped up a half a run. He's still…

Week 21 will be played with one fewer game, as the Tottenham vs. West Ham London derby, which was supposed to be played on December 30, was moved to January 4 due to concerns over train traffic and crowd safety that would’ve forced a limited seating at the stadium. That’s a devastating blow for all of you Harry Kane owners out there. Instead, I'm looking at Richarlison, one of the most impressive players of the first half of the season, to end it with a bang. WEEK 20: Fantasy EPL REVIEW The round was marked by Kane, as his…

One last hurrah together? Fear not fantasy, football fans, the weekly rankings will continue throughout the playoffs. As for Week 17, however, it's a very scarce week, particularly in the running back and wide receiver department, as several teams look to rest their starters. One more week of brilliance could see Jimmy Garoppolo enter the Top 10 quarterback discussion ahead of next season, though ... wouldn't that be a plot twist!? And meanwhile, we do welcome back Ezekiel Elliott for what feels like the three thousandth…

It is never easy to foresee the unforeseen. Injuries happen every day in the NHL, and here at Fantrax, our goal is to help you try to stay on top of those maladies with our weekly Injury Report. Counting all the latest bumps, bites, and bruises, there were 84 players held out of lineups. Several of those are long-term injuries from a previous year. Those players are likely not going to return or have retired. Here are some of the more notable maladies out there and their possible prognosis. Please note that Christmas break…

The Curious Case of Nicholas Castellanos We're 2,300 plate appearances into the career of Nicholas Castellanos, and it's odd to think that he is just one month older than Aaron Judge. Despite being around for several years, Castellanos may have found his way in 2017, and the fantasy baseball community is taking notice. He spent the majority of his time at the hot corner last year, but he finished the season in right field. Castellanos took to his new position fairly well, committing only one error is his 20 starts in right…

Like any fantasy sport, golf has its own fantasy sleepers and value picks. Below, you will find eight golfers who fall under the category of "sleeper" or "value pick" for the 2018 season (in no particular order).

This year, he comes in at a good value pick.…
