If you want to have long-term success in fantasy football, you need to work the wire. Here's a look at the top waiver wire adds of the week, including Colorado State's Dalyn Dawkins. Quarterback Malcolm Perry, Navy % Owned: 7% There are two sure things in fantasy college football: a Texas Tech quarterback will always throw for 4,000+ yards, and whoever plays quarterback for Navy will call his own number a lot in the red zone. With Zach Abey possibly missing in action this week against Notre Dame and Malcolm Perry's…

With the 2017 season now officially in the rearview mirror, and with the Houston Astros first-time champions, we turn our attention to the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Each week, I will be evaluating one player’s stock for next year. This week, we look at Wilmer Flores, a player whose career-defining on-field moment had nothing to do with his performance, yet who may soon develop a mainstream reputation that goes beyond an unusual display of emotion. Wilmer Flores, New York Mets 2017 statistics: .271/.307/.488, 18 home…

Pick any negative adjective you like to describe Week 10, because it was pretty basic as far as entertainment value is concerned. For fantasy owners, it was nice to have a week off from any big-time, season-ending injury. It was also nice to see the 49ers earn their first win of the season, and, of course, another big week from the Rams D/ST. The playoff picture is really taking shape now, both in real life and in your fantasy realm. Here's your Week 10 recap: Thumbs Up A fairly mundane outing turned into a monster day…

GAMES PLAYED THIS WEEK BY TEAM 4 Games: CAR, DAL, FLA, LA 3 Games: ARI, BOS, BUF, CGY, COL, DET, EDM, MIN, MTL, NSH, NYI, NYR, OTT, PHI, PIT, STL, VAN, VGK, WSH, WPG 2 Games: ANA, CHI, CBJ, NJ, SJ, TB, TOR STREAMING SELECTIONS The tough thing in fantasy hockey is deciding when to drop the players drafted in the top rounds for players who are doing better right now. That is where the risk comes in. With a month into the season, it is easy to get annoyed with high-drafted players that are struggling. Here are some…

Lonzo Ball isn't worth the headache this season Let me hit you with a very interesting factoid right out of the gate. We’re now 10-13 games into the season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers would be a lottery team. You heard me. Cleveland is toiling at 5-7, which is tied for the 6th worst record in the NBA with five other teams, including the Brooklyn Nets. Outside of LeBron James and Kevin Love, no player is playing well enough in fantasy to be worth rostering right now. Not Jae Crowder, or Dwyane Wade, or J.R Smith. In fact,…

We’re back with another wide receiver matchup report. Another four teams are on bye, making it difficult to deploy a fully-powered lineup. No worries, as our favorable matchups include two players, one being the Giants' Sterling Shepard, who are usually flex plays that could be WR2s this week. Not to mention, our sleeper pick is unlikely to be owned in your league and could provide some instant production for your lineup. If you have any questions feel free to ask me on Twitter, @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Marvin Jones…

Last week felt like the weirdest fantasy weeks for quarterbacks yet. Only six QBs eclipsed 300 passing yards, but two of them were Jay Cutler and Jacoby Brissett. Yes, I said Cutler and Brissett. Furthermore, Tyrod Taylor was the second highest scoring QB of the week behind only Jared Goff. Tom Brady was on a bye, Deshaun Watson was lost for the season, and Jimmy Garoppolo was traded to the 49ers. Just a weird week. This week, we have only four QBs on byes, but three of them are QB1 options, including the probable MVP…

This week we take a look at some of the biggest overachievers and underachievers in the fantasy EPL landscape, including Arsenal's Sead Kolasinac. Fantasy EPL Overachievers Jonas Lossl, Huddersfield - Huddersfield’s goalie has benefited from a great start, which boosts his overall numbers. He had four clean sheets in his first six starts and only one clean sheet in his last five. Regardless of how the rest of the season develops, the Dane is one of the safest bets you can make with your backup at the position. Stephen…

Todd Gurley’s sixth top-6 weekly finish has propelled him into the overall RB1 spot as we eclipse the halfway point in the season. He has proven that his 2016 campaign was the outlier in his brief career. The Saints’ Alvin Kamara led all fantasy running backs in Week 9 with 25.20 fantasy points. Kamara and teammate Mark Ingram are both top-3 fantasy running backs over the past four weeks, despite a combined four lost fumbles. Their recent dominance coincides with the trade of Adrian Peterson to Arizona. Peterson has been no…

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