The all-star break is over and we've entered the stretch run of the fantasy basketball season. With the exception of one big injury for a top-20 fantasy asset, the injury report is light this week, as it should be coming off a week-long break for NBA players. This is a great week for streaming players if you're into that sort of thing. Half the NBA plays 4+ games this week including a five-game slate for the Sacramento Kings. Games Played by Team This Week 5 Games: SAC. 4 Games: ATL, BKN, CHA, DAL, DET, IND, LAC,…

Welcome to the 2018 series of Dudes and Don'ts! What is a Dude and a Don't, you ask? Well, essentially, a sleeper and a bust but with a fancier name. These are players that I like or dislike for the 2018 season, broken down by position. For each position I'll give you one Dude, one Don't, and one Deep League Dude. The exception to that will be for outfielders and starting pitchers, where I'll give some extra guys since those positions are deep. Join or start a fantasy baseball league at Fantrax today!

One of the most enjoyable parts of fantasy sports in debating which players are better than others. We’ve all done it. You’re hanging out with some friends, probably enjoying a beer or two, and you get into a long discussion over which player is better than another one. Sometimes it might get heated, but that’s okay. We aren’t all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring. The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be…

For this week's Flash Forward, we take a look at San Diego Padres outfielder, Manuel Margot. The 23-year-old has plenty of value in dynasty leagues due to his impressive, projectable tools that he showed off in the minors and his rookie season. He's already established that he can be valuable at the Major League level, and I think there's still plenty more to come. According to Fantrax ADP, Margot is being drafted around the 146th pick, on average. That's in large part due to his appeal in keeper and dynasty leagues and…

Last week, I rolled out my top sleepers for the coming season. Now it's time to temper my enthusiasm. Collectively, we fantasy owners can get too exuberant about certain players. Sometimes we put too much stock in an apparent breakout season. Other times, we don't give enough weight to the previous season's warning signs. Hidden trends can elude us. Whatever the reason, the hype around certain players can get overheated. I've listed 10 players who are particularly at risk of underperforming based on their average draft…

With the offseason in full swing, fantasy owners have already shifted their eyes to the fall. Draft season is fully underway, and speculation is continually mounting. Free agent training videos and prospect highlight reels are everywhere on social media. Therefore, it's important to take a step back and look at what each NFL team really needs for next year. This series will take a look at each team by division and highlight an area of need along with a way to fulfill it. Owners can use the analysis here as a preview of what…
