Bet you didn't expect to see Sterling Shepard ranked ahead of Jordy Nelson this season, right? Lots of big moves ahead of Week 10, as we see the Ravens, Chiefs, Raiders, and Eagles all take a week off. There's also the Mike Evans suspension that will cost owners dearly, but hey, on the plus side, at least there's (likely) another week of Ezekiel Elliott to enjoy! In terms of big games, nothing beats the Falcons/Cowboys match up on Sunday afternoon. In terms of fantasy implications, though, look no further than the…

You can't really say Week 9 was crappy, but it certainly wasn't supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, either. There were a couple of blowouts, a few tight wins for the Cowboys and Raiders, but all in all, it was another so-so week in the NFL. One thing was pretty clear, though, the 2016 draft class game to play. Owners enjoyed big games from two second-year QBs, and Travis Kelce even surprised us with an imaginary potato sack race in the end zone. Fantasy wise, some of you will now hate A.J. Green, while others fall further in…

It was a questionable move considering Markstrom wasn't that impressive last year with a 2.62 GAA and .910 SV%. However, since the Canucks were in a…

Welcome back to another wide receiver matchup report. This week we see even more familiar faces in the unfavorable matchups section, including two receivers affected by injuries that aren’t their own. We also find a receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, who could benefit from his quarterback’s injury in the favorable section, as well as the best sleeper of the week to date. Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @JonSauber where you can ask me any fantasy-related questions. Favorable Matchups Tyreek Hill @ Dallas Cowboys Few players…

WEEK 10: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Last week started with Manchester United squeezing out another tightly contested victory, this time against the Kane-less Spurs. A remarkably simple goal by sub Anthony Martial, uncommon these days for an elite league, was the difference. Then, we had the remaining four members of the “Big 6” collect all three points each. Manchester City’s and Liverpool’s wins were relatively easy, even though City’s 3-2 final score at West Brom suggests otherwise. Fernandinho and Sane collaborated on the first…

Week 9 should see plenty of hullabaloo. There's two big-time NFC South showdowns between the Saints/Bucs and Panthers/Falcons, and with the Bears, Browns, Chargers, Vikings, Patriots, and Steelers all on a bye this week, you'll likely be exercizing your flex spot to death. There is one big name missing from the rankings, though, and no, it's not Ezekiel Elliott. Terrelle Pryor finally falls outside of the Top 50 after a horror game against the Cowboys last week, and since we're just past the halfway point of the season, who…

All of the players I've discussed are on teams that are surprisingly decent. I'm sure eventually everything will even out once more games are played. Then again, all of these teams could remain this way throughout the season. It's still…

We’re back with another wide receiver matchup report. We stay in the northeast for our four favorable matchups, with all four coming from the same two games. It’s a week heavy on byes, so the options are a little thin this week. If you need a bye week fill-in, our sleeper of the week, Washington's Josh Doctson, is the perfect choice for you. Feel free to follow me on twitter @JonSauber where you can ask me any fantasy questions you may have. Favorable Matchups Keenan Allen @ New England Patriots First up this week is the…

WEEK 9: Fantasy EPL REVIEW Week 9 started off with Brighton's first road win in the Premiership. Even though West Ham controlled the game, Brighton made good use of their chances, with Izquierdo and Murray (twice) finding the net. The 34-year-old veteran is back and has brought with him a newfound confidence. Propper and Gross had an assist each. Meanwhile, despite playing a fully healthy squad, The Hammers’ struggles continue. I don’t think a Bilic sack is far on the horizon.Just like in Week 1 against Liverpool,…

It is never easy to foresee the unforeseen. Injuries happen every day in the NHL, and here at FanTrax, our goal will be 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 86 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, including an updated look at…
