Fantasy
Most of us Fantasy Football analysts are very confident in our predictions about players. But even the best experts are correct usually just 55 percent of the time or so. At least that is the number I have heard quoted frequently over the years. Every call we make has the danger of not being on point. That’s because spontaneous execution, injuries, and other items make our hobby not fully predictable. We’re hitting our target estimations more often than people who don’t do this professionally, though, and strategy is a big…

Fantasy
Here at FanTrax, we are feeling the force of a revolution. Even though we are truly under three months from when much of the Fantasy Football community will be holding their drafts, I can feel the groundswell. It is the SuperFlex Revolution. Some prominent experts at this site are already leading the charge. One of the loudest and most enthusiastic has been my friend John Laub. If this SuperFlex thing catches on like he hopes it could, I think they should rename SuperFlex drafting as simply “Laubing.”Anyhow, I went Mock…

No one’s roster stays the same as it looks on draft day in Fantasy Football. Even throughout the season, as news and reports of potential depth chart changes come out, we churn the lower rungs of our rosters. Some players you overlooked on draft day suddenly look like appealing fliers to take a chance on. Once play begins for real, the adding and dropping increases, as guys who went undrafted are eagerly scooped up. Here’s an advance look at some of the AFC players who may not be picked in your draft, but could become free…

Executing an effective rookie draft is not the only step to improving your dynasty fantasy football team in the short term. Looking ahead before training camps start, before the competition does, will get you ahead of them. Before these dynasty trade targets start to get talked up more, you should trade for them. You’ll possibly get them at a lower price now than in the summer.Can’t wait for next fantasy football season? Who are we kidding?

Fantasy
Many owners struggle when they get to the later portions of their fantasy football drafts. The average owner does not always have the time to study up on who is the third running back in Baltimore or the full WR depth in San Francisco as they prepare for their fantasy football draft. So often drafters will turn to old reliable names they know from years past or someone who was mentioned in passing on social media or elsewhere. Other alluring possible picks just aren’t worth the headaches they provide. They often end up…
