FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Welcome to 2018, a year where NBA players finally start staying healthy consistently ... I couldn't even type that with a straight face. We begin the new year with James Harden going down for several weeks. With his injury, now eight of the pre-season top-20 players have missed significant time so far this season. Significant time, meaning more than just a couple of games. When will it stop? Hopefully soon. I'm tired of my phone getting blown up with injury notifications. I get it, half my team is a game-time decision every…

A+ customer service The Blue Jays have traded prospects Edward Olivares and Jared Carkuff to the Padres for infield utilityman Yangervis Solarte. As both rosters stand post-trade, zero fantasy implications are felt. The 30-year-old Solarte, who batted .255/.314/.416 with 18 homers in 512 plate appearances in 2017, is the trade’s centerpiece, but he moves from being a backup in San Diego to being a backup in Toronto.…

The calendar has turned to 2018, and the Hot Stove is officially … a bunch of tepid embers. With a majority of the top free agents still unsigned, it’s obvious to say that not much has happened so far this offseason. Sure, the Angels have made some major headlines, but guys like Yu Darvish, Eric Hosmer, Jake Arrieta, and J.D. Martinez still haven’t found a home. And while free agency is always exciting, moving prospects like Christian Arroyo always tends to be pretty exciting in its own right, and the trade front has been…

Here I begin my Course Correction series, profiling players that notably over- or under-performed expectations in 2017. However, I also reserve the right to just bring up some players that I am really interested in ... don't judge me too harshly. We're going to start on the mound with a player whose career has been a real roller-coaster ride, and that is Arizona Diamondbacks starter…

Welcome to the second half of my Wild Card Weekend preview column. We touched on the Saturday matchups earlier. This edition will focus on the Sunday matchups. BUFFALO BILLS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Sunday’s first game will see the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Buffalo Bills. Neither team has made the playoffs in a decade. The Bills finished the year at 9-7 in a weak AFC, and their record was bolstered by sweeping four games against the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. Particularly with star running back LeSean McCoy’s…

With most teams about halfway through the season, players like Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos and John Tavares are near the top of the points leaderboard. There is one name, however, that I'd bet didn't get drafted in many fantasy leagues. Josh Bailey already has 50 points in 41 games and is tied for second in points in the entire league. He is also second in assists with 38. This puts Bailey on pace for a 100-point season. Although Bailey was selected ninth overall in 2008 and had 56 points last year, no one expected…
