FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Isn't San Antonio supposed to be one of the least dramatic teams in the NBA? That's been the status quo over the last two decades or so until this crazy Kawhi Leonard situation this season. The way this is going, Kawhi and the Spurs will win an Emmy award for best sports drama. Leonard has been cleared to return to action but has decided against it. Maybe it's all mental or maybe there actually is a rift between him and the organization. Who knows. But it's not helping Leonard's fantasy owners one damn bit, that's for sure.…

Excitement for the 2018 season is alive and well with the recent conclusion of the Scouting Combine. Analysts, coaches, GMs and, of course, fantasy owners are going over each prospect's measurables and responses during the week. Coaches and GMs have the upper-hand, but we can still speculate as the draft draws closer. Building on the first piece in the series, we'll be taking a look at the AFC South. Injuries on the Colts' and Texans' rosters add to the lack of clarity, but there are some incoming rookies that can add value…

Dr. Mike Tanner has treated patients with orthopedic injuries for over 10 years as a board-certified specialist and physical therapist. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D., educating physical therapy students and conducting research. I am not sure why the Nationals are going full Belichick on us, but the reality is that Daniel Murphy is months away from playing. Don't buy it? Let's explore. What's wrong with this picture? Two players underwent microfracture surgery in late October: Dustin Pedroia on October 25,…

With spring training getting underway, the 2018 fantasy baseball season is very nearly approaching. Each week, I will be evaluating one player’s stock for this year. This week, another starting pitcher who fantasy owners, despite a strong pedigree and above-average MLB results, are curiously undervaluing in drafts to this point. In all likelihood, this is due to a couple of misleadingly high ERA marks in recent seasons. Join or start a fantasy baseball league at Fantrax today! Keeper, dynasty, re-draft. Fully customizable.…

Only a few people in this world know the feeling of taking down the entire field in a Fantasy Baseball contest. Our guest this week, Rob Silver (@RobSilver) was the 2016 NFBC Main Champion (7:45). That achievement comes with a great deal of respect, and commands your attention in his thoughts on the upcoming #TGFBI (10:20), as well as Draft Strategy thoughts in general (11:50); the How and Why of having a Plan (17:25), does he label anyone as Must Have Pitchers for 2018 (19:20), does Logan Morrison move the needle (22:31),…

Ah, this is much more to my liking than the abominable catcher position, in which we started out. If you haven't checked it out, you can read it here to get a sense of how I value these players. First base is full of fantasy goodness this year. Not only is there an elite top-end, but there's a solid midsection and a chunky bottom end, as well. I'm not sure where I'm getting these descriptors. Suffice it to say, whenever you decide to dive in and purify yourself in the waters of first base, you'll be able to find something…

After getting the mostly offensively deprived catcher position out of the way, we make a left turn, hop on I-95, and get off in Long Ball City. First base has always been known for its vast offensive numbers. From Albert Pujols, to Miguel Cabrera, to Paul Goldschmidt. The list goes on and on. And just when you thought the position might experience a slight drop in overall value, guys like Cody Bellinger, Rhys Hoskins, and Matt Olson destroy baseballs for a few months and boom, the position has three new stars for dynasty…
