FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

I’m a big fan of democracy. In fact, when I was just a few days old, my dad wrote me in against an uncontested U.S. Senator he refused to vote for; you could say I’ve been a product of the electoral process since birth. That’s why I decided to let you, the people, vote to determine the order we would pick apart the top prospects for the 2019 NFL Draft here on Fantrax. You collectively determined that you wanted to know about the running backs first and foremost, so we are here to run down the top targets for dynasty or…

We have finally passed the quarter-pole mark of the season, and numbers are (mostly) beginning to stabilize. As is the norm in this space, I will list every player who is at least 50 percent owned either overall or among the top 100 teams. I will also highlight several players at each position who may be worthy of a New Player Claim, using a benchmark of at least 3.50 points per game. For this week I will focus on potential targets whose salaries are less than 2000 because these players are obviously easier to introduce into…

Is he…

We are all looking for players with high upside going into fantasy draft season. Any advantage you can find is a good one, and knowing which players have the easiest schedules can certainly put you ahead of the curve. This article will look into strength of schedule and opposing team FPIs to determine which superstars have the most favorable schedules this season. WR Preston Williams, Colorado State SOS: 126 Toughest Matchups: Florida, Boise State, Utah State, Air Force, Wyoming Preston Williams is one of the top…

“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. Rising: Alvin Kamara Current ADP: 1.06 Projected ADP: 1.03-1.05 OK, it's only May…

Every year we encounter the inevitable reshuffling of the top X list in fantasy baseball. Depending on how intricate you want to get, “X” can really range as high or low as you want and you’ll still get a hefty juggling of names. Even if I wanted to talk about the new top 10 players, I could easily do so after just a quarter of the season. It’s volatile, hard to predict, and most importantly fun to look at for crazies like myself. Today I want to look at players who were drafted in the top 50 (per Fantrax ADP, found here)…

We are entering that part of the season where a slew of players are being called up due to injury or ineffectiveness. The thing is, we’ve already pretty much blown through the top prospects, so now we're on to the lesser known guys — the deep guys who don’t get discussed quite as frequently so maybe you’ve never heard their name or what to expect from them. Today we’re going to take a look at some of these guys and get a good idea of what kind of performance to expect from these rookies and whether or not a top prospect or…

What: AT&T Byron Nelson Where: Trinity Forest Golf Club, Dallas, TX When: May 17-20 Defending Champion: Billy Horschel FedEx Cup Points: 500 Purse: $7,700,000 Webb Simpson blew his competition out of the water last week at the Players Championship, scoring the victory by shooting an incredible 18-under and winning by a margin of four strokes. Simpson had the largest 54-hole lead in the history of this tournament, and he came through and finished it off on Sunday. Players Championship Results Top Picks…

There are three words that are synonymous with buy-low pitcher targets: Tommy John surgery. What used to be a curse for pitchers, now isn't so terrifying to think about. Sure, the pitcher will miss anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but pitchers are coming back just as strong, if not stronger than they were pre-surgery. Two of the four pitchers discussed below are the latest big name pitching prospects to tussle with that pest, Tommy John. But even with them missing the 2018 season, and likely a little of 2019, their upside…

It's time for everybody's favorite position in fantasy football: the tight end. It's like the catcher position in fantasy baseball. After the first few go off the board on draft day, they are all pretty much the same in terms of production. It's a position I'll never spend an early pick on, nor do I reach to grab one. No pun intended. We've seen fantasy owners in the past spend first- and second-round picks on Rob Gronkowski or Jordan Reed only to be disappointed in the long run, dealing with the headache of wondering if…
