FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Best ball season is in full effect! Analysts are putting up their early rankings. Our favorite experts are piling into draft lobbies to get a feel for positional value. All the while, we the people sit back, look at the completed mocks, and immediately provide our own analysis:"Drew Brees in the 15th round? Lol!!! Not in my league.""You totally overspent on Lamar Miller, bro.""Wow... these are all players that I personally wouldn't draft..."Despite the crippling guilt, I'm convinced each analyst suffers after…

Before we dig into this week's waiver wire report, if Juan Soto is still available in your league, go add him right now and scold the rest of your league (and yourself) for not adding him already. As I mentioned in my scouting report, Soto has the skill set to hit over .300 with 35-plus homers annually. Expecting that right away is foolish, but he's still going to be a fantasy factor moving forward.Soto isn't the only exciting player worth adding right now, either. This week's report also has two other top hitting…

Fire - Jesus Aguilar It's taken a lengthy DL stint for Eric Thames and another shorter stint from Ryan Braun, but here we are. Full-time at-bats for Jesus Aguilar! Of course, Braun has already weaseled his way back into the lineup, but manager Craig Counsell suggested recently that Aguilar will continue to see full-time work at first base despite Braun's return. Not only that, but he indicated that Aguilar could continue to hit in the three hole for the Brewers, where he has been since mid-May. Not a bad spot to be when…

Dr. Mike Tanner provides MLB injury updates for all the players fantasy owners are worried about. Dee Gordon, Seattle Mariners If you watched Sunday’s game, it was apparent Gordon was in pain when he stole second base and scored the winning run against the Tigers. He was later diagnosed with a mild fracture in his right big toe. A natural response from his owners would be complete panic, as a broken toe sounds bad for a speedster. Fortunately, this appears to be more of a mild stress fracture than a true displaced fracture…

It seems like it was just yesterday that the consensus No. 1 overall pick in redraft PPR leagues was Antonio Brown. Hell, in 2016 four of the first five picks in fantasy football were wide receivers, as Odell Beckham, DeAndre Hopkins, and Julio Jones accompanied Brown on most top-five draft boards -- and rightfully so. Brown and Jones both had ridiculous 2015 campaigns with 136 receptions each and over 1,800 yards receiving. It seemed that NFL teams were going away from a true “bell cow” running back and the Zero RB strategy…

We’re 13 weeks out from the first glimpses of college football, and fans everywhere are relying on the NBA Finals, College World Series, and College Football Media Days to get them by. The most dedicated of fans, however, are on the lookout right now for anything that can give them an early edge. This week, I will be revealing the top 50 college fantasy football quarterback rankings, with analysis on the top 25 at the position. College Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings 50. Brandon Dawkins, Indiana49. Brady White,…

“Rising” and “falling” does not necessarily mean “good” or “bad” in fantasy. If a player’s average draft position is rising, his value is assumed to have dropped. Conversely, if a player is falling in terms of draft price, then he can be considered a value if his production is projected to out-perform his draft-price.Here are this week's risers and fallers. All ADPs are based on PPR scoring leagues per fantasyfootballcalculator.com. Fantasy Stock Watch: Kenyan Drake Current ADP: 4.03Projected ADP: 4.08-5.01…

Now that we are a fourth of the way through the season, it's a good time to evaluate lesser known names who have performed far better than anticipated. Most of these guys are players you can find on the waiver wire, though some are only worthy of monitoring as the season continues. They are all playing at a level that was unexpected in the preseason, so let's take a look. Waiver Wire Watch: C.J. Cron – 1B/DH, Tampa Bay Rays The former Angel is finally getting an opportunity to play full-time in Tampa and he is absolutely…

What: Fort Worth Invitational (Formerly the DEAN & DELUCA Invitational) Where: Colonial CC, Fort Worth, Texas When: May 24-27 Defending Champion: Kevin Kisner FedEx Cup Points: 500 Purse: $7.1 million Before we head to the Fort Worth Invitational, let's look back at Aaron Wise's win last week at the AT&T Byron Nelson. Wise posted an incredible score of 23-under. It was the 21-year-old's first PGA win and an impressive one at that. Marc Leishman set a course record on Thursday with a score of 61, but it wasn't…

When a young pitcher starts to venture into uncharted territory with a new skill, fantasy owners typically don't waste much time pursuing the player on waivers. For example, Sean Newcomb has struggled with his walk rate throughout his minor league career and during his brief time in the majors. However, as that rate has dipped over his past few starts, owners have flocked to him as he is showing signs of breaking out to a new level. We easily adopt that narrative with 24-year-olds, yet we are usually far more skeptical of…
