FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

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 a…

Last week we took a look at some young pitchers that took those ever-important steps forward into becoming Major League assets, and this week we are going to look at some hitting prospects that have done the same. On the offensive side, when a prospect takes a step forward, it can be due to any number of reasons. Maybe they finally learned to judge the strike zone and take a walk. Perhaps they gained enough strength and quickness to suddenly be able to handle both the inside fastball and the changeup away at the same time.…

The 2017-2018 season was not only the first season to feature a National Championship with interconference teams, but also the first season with two signing periods. With the late signing period quickly approaching, it's time to preview the top players who could make a fantasy splash in 2018. Devon Williams, Antelope Valley ESPN 300: 16th; Rivals: 47th; 247Sports: 40th Outlook: Devon Williams provides the ability to play on both sides of the ball. At 6-foot-4, he is a long and athletic wide receiver from Southern…

What: Waste Management Phoenix Open Where: TPC Scottsdale – Stadium Course, Scottsdale, Arizona – Par 71 When: February 1st-4th Defending Champion: Hideki Matsuyama FedEx Cup Points and Purse: 550 Points and $6,900,000 For the third straight week, we were treated to some playoff golf! This time it was Jason Day and Alex Noren battling it out, where Day came out on top in the sixth playoff hole after Noren found the water going for the green on the 18th hole. It was Day’s first win since 2016, and it comes as a…

The last few rounds of standard fantasy drafts are where things get interesting. Anyone can draft Mike Trout first overall. However, that's not how fantasy championships are won. The real difference makers are the sleepers and upside picks you make in the tail end of your draft that pan out and provide major value for your squad.  Some call these picks, "lottery tickets." I call them, "championship tickets." Over the last couple of weeks, we've ranked the top-50 fantasy outfielders for the 2018 season. Now, we finish up…

The Diamondbacks have added some offensive punch at catcher with the signing of Alex Avila. While Avila will be sharing time, he has some decent fantasy value if used correctly. Avila’s production has been a roller coaster over the years with last season being one of the ups. He hit .264/.387/.447 with 14 homers, his best numbers since 2011. His power is legit with a 24% HR/FB% the past two seasons with the juiced ball. While his power should continue, I expect his batting average to regress closer to his career .243…

Things are really starting to heat up in these rankings. We're now into the top 50, and the upside is getting higher than Snoop Dogg backstage at a rap concert. Granted, not every prospect possesses crazy high upside. That's where guys like Jack Flaherty and Alex Verdugo come in. Those high-upside guys are wonderful to own in dynasty formats, but don't sleep on the safer options that can still help you plenty. Below you'll find prospects ranked 60 through 41. Included is yet another Braves arm, the only two Red Sox…
