FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

One of my future July 4 destinations was to head out to Coney Island and watch the annual Nathans hot dog eating contest. Where else can you go to watch a person like Joey Chestnut consume more hot dogs in a few minutes (74 this year) than most have consumed in the last five years?  Since competitive eating is sort of considered a sport, a fantasy league for this should not be too far behind. July is also the month where the future destinations of some players will be discussed ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline. So, we…

Another version of your weekly MLB Bullpen Report! As a reminder, here's the approach:Closer/Speculative Adds - Players owned in less than 70 percent of Fantrax leagues that have a share of a closing role, or are worth a speculative pickup. HOLDS!!! - If we do all this work to identify top relievers, we might as well surface the ones who provide value even if they aren't earning saves. This will be guys who are worth an add to boost ratios or if you are in a league with Holds as a category. Bullpen Matrix - An…

Ah, the tight end. The position kind of reminds me of cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Nobody really wants them at the party but sure enough every Thanksgiving, he shows up with his RV asking you to save the neck of the turkey for him. Nobody wants cousin Eddie at the party and putting a tight end in your lineup feels kind of the same way. However, there is a fool-proof strategy to drafting tight ends. Wait on them. The appeal of taking a Rob Gronkowski or Travis Kelce is obvious but you will have to…

It feels like Fantasy Football formats in 2018 favor the wide receiver position more than ever before. Typical Best Ball rosters have three slots for the position and many standard leagues have adopted the same format. The running back position has been an anomaly for the last five seasons or so and I simply cannot trust it. We saw value in having a “bell-cow” running back in 2017 and this label has been more prevalent over the last two seasons. In 2014 and 2015 there were five players to have over 250 carries. In 2016 there…
