Welcome to another edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week, I profiled a wide receiver named Breshad Perriman, who has a combination of skill and opportunity that should help catapult him into top tier fantasy wide receiver conversations.A Fantasy Football Sleeper is a player that is in a position to play beyond their rankings or expectations, and who may provide you with some value at their draft position.The player I will be profiling this week is Tyreek Hill, who is a sophomore wide receiver on…

We move forward with our NBA Draft prospect rankings this week, this time focusing on wings/forwards. These are players that you will usually find playing the three or the four in the NBA. When it comes to wings, this class is very top heavy. It features two potential superstars and then a drop off to players that will be starters in the NBA. With that said, the two I have at the top are two of the better players I have seen in recent years. Both have very high floors to go with high ceilings and the potential to be top 10 …

The top 10 rankings will be released weekly during the hockey offseason. This week, we’re doing top 10 centers for next season. There were many factors in deciding this list, but the main criteria were consistency, age, and the player’s injury history. 10. Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks Getzlaf has been fairly consistent in his 12-season career. The Ducks captain has had seven seasons with 70 points or more. He also has two seasons in the 60-point range and 49 points in 44 games in the lockout-shortened season in 2013.…

With another full week of baseball coming up, it's always smart to check the waiver wire or scout for the occasional 'diamond in the rough' fantasy star found at a very cheap cost. Winning the waiver wire could be the difference between grabbing a few extra points to land in the money or falling just short. Here's a few hitters that might be available on your league waiver wire or could be found at a relatively low cost against favorable pitching matchups.(Note: Stats and numbers are as of June 9th)Monday, June 12:…

I need to start off this week's article by making a clarifying statement that was made in last week's Waiver Wire Pickups.  I made a comment that was attributed to my wife that she is claiming is not true. She wants everyone to know that I am generally not wrong about everything, and that to the best of her knowledge I am correct more often than not on things concerning fantasy sports. However, it should be noted that she feels that I am wrong most of the time concerning matters of finances, weather forecasting, and the…

This week features a plethora of middling pitchers with two-start weeks. This is exactly the type of week you want to take advantage of these dual matchups with very few fantasy aces getting a second start. That doesn't mean that there aren't some very intriguing matchups to take advantage of, though. With so few meaningful two-start pitchers going, you should be able to play matchups better on a few single-start pitchers. Your opponent will also be hard pressed to use too many meaningful starters against you with more than…

Fantasy football season is right around the corner. Here are the top 10 tight ends to target as we draw closer to draft season.1. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots - Is this a surprise to anyone? We all know that the big negative with Gronk is health. When he's healthy, however, it's a buffet of points from Tom Brady, possibly the greatest quarterback to play the game. In just six games in 2016, Gronk had three 100-yard games and three touchdowns. He also caught 25-of-38 targets for 540 yards. Look for more of the…

With the NHL season winding down, it's time to start getting your team ready for the upcoming 2017-18 season. This is a list of the top five players at each position that can help you win your league this year. To simplify things, this list will be based on points. You should be able to draft these sleepers late and come up big in the win column. Christian Dvorak, Arizona Coyotes Dvorak is a 21-year-old center that Arizona picked in the second round, 58th overall. In his last season with the London Knights (2015-16), he…

Well, well, well… Blink your eyes and it’s already June! A lot is happening in baseball, and that includes promotions and guys on the rise you should be aware of. Apologies for the two-week absence in me writing this column, but hopefully you have been enjoying the rest of the content here on Fantrax. There is a lot of it, and we’re coming fast and furious.There have also been some changes at the helm of the ship, and that has prompted a slight adjustment to the three players I’ll be looking at each week. Instead of…

From now until the start of next season, I'll be looking at each NHL team's prospect situation and assessing each prospect's projected fantasy value. With all due respect to turnover leagues, I will be focusing solely on keeper and dynasty leagues, since prospects have minimal value in re-draft leagues. Most fantasy leagues vary in structure, so for the purpose of this exercise, I will be referring to leagues that include a main roster and a prospect roster, each with their own respective draft.I'll be examining teams in…
