FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Bet you didn't expect to see Sterling Shepard ranked ahead of Jordy Nelson this season, right? Lots of big moves ahead of Week 10, as we see the Ravens, Chiefs, Raiders, and Eagles all take a week off. There's also the Mike Evans suspension that will cost owners dearly, but hey, on the plus side, at least there's (likely) another week of Ezekiel Elliott to enjoy! In terms of big games, nothing beats the Falcons/Cowboys match up on Sunday afternoon. In terms of fantasy implications, though, look no further than the…

The World Series is over, so I guess we can stop talking about baseball. WRONG! Does baseball season ever really end? There might not be any Major League games going on, but baseball is a year-round cult for us diehards. You’ve got the Arizona Fall League, a slew of winter leagues, hot stove season, the winter meetings, and then before you know it, spring training is starting and the sport we all love so much is back for another nine months of games. So, I don’t give two bleeps that the season is over. You’re getting a…

There weren’t a lot of memorable performances by tight ends in Week 9. Only five tight ends hit double-digit fantasy points in Week 9. Travis Kelce finished as the overall TE2 for the week with 73 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s loss to Dallas. Kelce is now the top fantasy tight end this season, though Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz will have plenty to say about that before all is said and done. Ertz appeared as though he was going to suit up on Sunday for a great matchup against the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, he…

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 Utah State's LaJuan Hunt and Western Michigan's Jarvion Franklin. Quarterbacks Brent Stockstill, Middle Tennessee % Owned: 55% I had high expectations for the Blue Raiders offense this season with the talent they have. The Stockstill-James connection was one that was supposed to be as strong as the Rudolph-Washington connection at Oklahoma State. However, injuries have…

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 turn our attention to Christian Yelich, a 25-year-old star who figures to be bandied about in trade discussions over the coming months. Christian Yelich, Miami Marlins 2017 statistics: .282/.369/.439, 18 home runs, 16 stolen bases General Overview Quite a bit of attention in…

You can't really say Week 9 was crappy, but it certainly wasn't supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, either. There were a couple of blowouts, a few tight wins for the Cowboys and Raiders, but all in all, it was another so-so week in the NFL. One thing was pretty clear, though, the 2016 draft class game to play. Owners enjoyed big games from two second-year QBs, and Travis Kelce even surprised us with an imaginary potato sack race in the end zone. Fantasy wise, some of you will now hate A.J. Green, while others fall further in…

Games Played This Week By Team 4 Games: ARI, BOS, CBJ, EDM, MIN, NJ, TOR, VAN, WSH 3 Games: ANA, BUF, CAR, CHI, DET, FLA, LA, MTL, NYI, NYR, PIT, SJ, STL, TB, VGK, WPG 2 Games: CGY, COL, DAL, NSH, OTT, PHI Streaming Selections Jacob Markstrom - G - Vancouver Canucks 62% Owned on Fantrax During this offseason, Markstrom was announced as the Canucks' starting goalie. It was a questionable move considering Markstrom wasn't that impressive last year with a 2.62 GAA and .910 SV%. However, since the Canucks were in a…

In the fantasy basketball world, it's been the Year of the Rookie so far. One Philadelphia rookie is averaging near a triple-double, while the other has looked like garbage and is currently on the shelf with a shoulder injury. In Chicago, Lauri Markannen has been a pleasant surprise, and the same can be said for Kyle Kuzma out in Los Angeles. After the Celtics lost Gordon Hayward on opening night, many expected Boston to take a major step back. Well, rookie Jayson Tatum, along with Jaylen Brown, aren't letting that…

It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through the NFL season. With the calendar turning to November in a few days, that likely means that the trade deadline in your fantasy league is around the corner. What better way to get ready for the trade deadline than with some updated rest-of-season rankings? That was a trick question; there is no better way. All right, you didn't open this article to hear me talk. You came for the rankings. So, without further ado, my fantasy football positional rankings for the rest of…

Welcome back to another wide receiver matchup report. This week we see even more familiar faces in the unfavorable matchups section, including two receivers affected by injuries that aren’t their own. We also find a receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, who could benefit from his quarterback’s injury in the favorable section, as well as the best sleeper of the week to date. Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @JonSauber where you can ask me any fantasy-related questions. Favorable Matchups Tyreek Hill @ Dallas Cowboys Few players…
