Stop me if you have heard this before, but Alvin Kamara was the overall RB1 in fantasy last week. Last week was his league-leading seventh straight weekly RB1 performance. Kamara has averaged a ridiculous 24.00 fantasy points per game over his last five contests. While his rookie season has gotten better and better, the same cannot be said for several other high-profile rookie running backs. Last week, I highlighted the recent struggles of Kansas City Chiefs’ running back Kareem Hunt, but he is not the only running back to…

It is never easy to foresee the unforeseen. Injuries happen every day in the NHL, and here at Fantrax, our goal is to help you try to stay on top of those maladies with our weekly Injury Report.

Is there anything better in fantasy baseball than the element of the unknown? When a player dominates in a foreign country, like Cuba or Japan, and wants to come to MLB, it creates a ton of intrigue on how good can that player can be in the majors. Some have come over and had very successful careers, like Ichiro, Jose Abreu, Yu Darvish, Hiroki Kuroda, etc. Others, such as Hideki Irabu and Daisuke Matsuzaka, haven’t fared as well and had shorter, unproductive careers. This year, Shohei Ohtani, the most hyped prospect, perhaps…

For most of you, this is where the fun begins: fantasy football playoffs. Unfortunately, it falls on a week that features some of the season's toughest matchups, as games between the Falcons/Saints, Eagles/Rams, and Chiefs/Raiders hold some real-life playoff implications of their own. If you're on team Brady, you can probably count on a bounce-back week against the Dolphins. Of course, if you own shares in Antonio Brown, you can probably find solace in the fact that he owns 874 career yards and three touchdowns versus the…

OK, ladies and gentleman, it's time for the finale of our off-season first-year player draft rankings for dynasty leagues! We've seen studs like Mackenzie Gore, Jo Adell, Hunter Greene, and Heliot Ramos, and today's list may have some players that are a bit more flawed. However, the talent pool is still pretty deep, so there's reason for optimism across the board. Where will two-way stud Brendan McKay end up? Read on to find out! If you're picking at this point in the draft, that means you likely finished higher in the…

Antonio Brown proved once again why he’s the best receiver in the NFL in Week 13. He gutted out a toe injury and posted an overall WR5 performance in Pittsburgh’s come-from-behind victory on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown will likely finish the year as the overall WR1 for the third time in four years, and finish as a top-4 receiver for the fifth consecutive campaign. The first of those years was 2013, when a 22-year-old phenom by the name of Josh Gordon captured the overall WR1 spot. That year, Gordon…

Willie Taggart to Florida State? Herm Edwards to Tempe, Arizona? Is Tennessee even close to finding a coach?

But Doesn't Know He's a Sun Devil Whether you like it or not, Herm Edwards has officially taken the head coaching position at Arizona State.

Golf's fall season has come to an end, and for fantasy owners, it's time to look forward to the New Year. The 2017 year brought us the dominance of Justin Thomas, and the emergence of golfers like Jon Rahm, Marc Leishman, and Brooks Koepka. Not to mention the unfathomable outcome of McIlroy and Day not winning on TOUR, while Sergio Garcia finally grabbed his first major. Below are the top 25 golfers for the 2018 fantasy golf season, taking into account the fact that more tournaments played will get you a higher ranking,…

After covering the catcher position last week, we break down the position that usually has the most power each season. First base was a very busy position in 2017. We saw powerful debuts from Cody Bellinger, Rhys Hoskins, and Matt Olson, breakout seasons from Logan Morrison and Justin Smoak, and the worst season of Miguel Cabrera's career. All of this played a huge part in how these rankings were constructed. Most of the names in the top-10 are household fantasy names, but a couple of youngsters join them after…

Tommy Pham: Feast or Phamine? Tommy Pham, the speedy St. Louis outfielder, was one of the few Cardinals players to outperform expectations in 2017. He logged the majority of his time in left field last season, but after his All-Star caliber performance -- and Dexter Fowler's declining range in center field -- Pham is slated to spend the majority of his time in center in 2018. In addition to covering a lot of ground in the outfield, Pham also covers a lot ground on the base paths. Despite his shortened season of only 128…
