Patrick Mahomes was magical in 2018. I am not talking new QB takes over and leads his team to the playoffs, sappy movie magical. I am talking literally the greatest QB to ever step on the football field magical. At least in fantasy football terms and that cannot be debated. No quarterback has ever scored as many fantasy points as Mahomes did last year.In fact, in NFL history only LaDainian Tomlinson (427.1) scored more fantasy points than Mahomes (417.1) scored last year in standard leagues. If you had Mahomes in 2018…

Just like Game of Thrones, Drake, and the countless superhero movies that come out weekly, swinging strikes are all the rage right now. You cannot go on Twitter (especially if you follow me), or even watch a game without hearing them being discussed. But, have you ever wondered why they are so talked about?The number one job of a pitcher is to get batters out and keep runs off the board, correct? Well, the easiest way to do that is by preventing contact from being made. Once contact is made, things get murky. You got to…

Fantasy Football completely changes the way you view the sport. No longer are you just rooting for one team. If you are like me, you take far less time to appreciate what we have seen in the past season or thinking about where a player ranks historically. Instead, you are consumed with what players bring to the table going forward.Statistics are great. They help you learn, understand and follow the game of football better. But they are literally the lifeblood of fantasy. The player’s names do not matter. The teams do not…

Baseball is back! If you are like me you have spent a large amount of time the last few days watching games, checking over box scores and keeping track of your fantasy teams! It is great to be back, but we are at that tricky point in the season. It is easy to overreact to one day, but after spending months of research, my best advice for the first couple of weeks is to be patient with players. Now, by that I do not mean with everyone on your roster, but don’t consider dropping a player you took in round 13, etc. This time of…

Game of Thrones, MLB, The Masters, and both NBA and NHL playoffs will make April a tremendously fun month. However, there is one thing I know you care about more than anything and that is the NFL Draft! The draft is less than a month away and there are sure to be plenty of rumors, trades and a whole lot more leading up to it. But, while there is so much content surrounding the draft, I look to give you that Fantasy Football spin that I know you desire.The quarterback position is the most important in the NFL. Any team…

The beginning of any season can be a little tricky to figure out. We do not have any sample size to help make early season decisions. As the year goes on and on, we get more and more information to help us figure out which pitching streamers are favorable to stream and which matchups we should look to avoid.The regular season is almost upon us! Don't worry, there's still time to add that "one more league!" Leagues are still forming at Fantrax.com, so head on over and jump in one today.Early Season Pitching…

There is a changing of the guard at the tight end position. Rob Gronkowski, the most dominant tight end arguably in fantasy football history, is hanging up his spikes. Jimmy Graham is a shell of his former self. Antonio Gates is nearing AARP eligibility. The former household names at the position are no longer viable fantasy options. Add in that Eric Ebron is unlikely to score 14 touchdowns again this season and you may start to be worried about the tight end position for fantasy purposes. The position is no stranger to…

Bold predictions are always a ton of fun! However, there is a difference between being bold and completely going out on a cliff just to get attention. I am never going to be in that second class. However, all these predictions are about players I feel very strongly about!The regular season is almost upon us! Don't worry, there's still time to add that "one more league!"

The NFL Draft is getting nearer by the day! If you missed it earlier this week, I wrote about the needs of NFL teams heading into the draft. The focus of this is purely for fantasy football, so I am only addressing teams needs at the main fantasy positions. Let’s get back into it!Can’t wait for next fantasy football season?
