FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Philadelphia Flyers From now until the start of next season, I’ll be looking at each NHL team’s prospect situation and assessing each prospect’s projected fantasy value. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Flyers. With all due respect to turnover leagues, I will be focusing solely on keeper and dynasty leagues, because prospects have minimal value in re-draft leagues. Most fantasy leagues vary in structure, so for the purpose of this exercise, I will be referring to leagues that include a main roster and a prospect roster,…

Here’s all you need to know about the fantasy tight end landscape last week: Marcedes Lewis was fantasy’s leading scorer among tight ends with 24.2 fantasy points in Week 3. That might not sound so strange until you consider that Lewis had more fantasy points in Week 3 than he had in either of the past two seasons. Lewis was joined as a TE1 in Week 3 by such obvious names as Ryan Griffin, Vernon Davis, Luke Willson, and Lance Kendricks. Oh, and Jason Witten and Travis Kelce, top-3 tight ends through the first two weeks of…

The Western Conference this season will be very interesting this year. For one, there is a new team joining the fold in the Vegas Golden Knights. There is also new blood with the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders. Then there are some teams, like the Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks, that may not be as good as they once were, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. There are also a few teams that are on the rise like the Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, and Minnesota Wild.…

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 ... Quarterbacks A.J. Erdely, UAB % Owned: 4% College football fans rejoiced this season as the Blazers return their football program after unfairly having it taken away from them in 2014. After not knowing what to expect in Birmingham this season, it seems as though they have a hidden gem in A.J. Erdely. Erdely is averaging 25.75 points per game and is outscoring Baker Mayfield…

Wait, the fantasy baseball season is coming to an end? No, it can't be! It just started! Unfortunately, baseball season doesn't last all year, and the off-season has to happen sometime. The 2017 season was one heck of a ride. Aaron Judge broke the rookie home run mark, Miguel Cabrera had his worst season, and Giancarlo Stanton still has a chance to be the first player to hit 60 home runs in a season since Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds both did so in 2001. This offseason might not be as eventful as the loaded 2018 offseason…

Turns out none of us know a damn thing. So chances are there were plenty of upsets in your league this week. Oh and guess what, in real life football world there were, too! The Bears beat the Steelers and the Bills beat the Broncos. Okay, that's about it, but still, this was a crazy week in the NFL on and off the field. Players took knees, Richard Sherman took flags, and Aaron Rodgers took names. Here's everything else you need to know from the soap opera that was Week 3: Thumbs Up How about 26 rushing yards for the…

After months of speculation, rumors, and waiting, the New York Knicks finally dealt All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony on Saturday to the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s been obvious they’ve been trying to deal Anthony for a while but hadn’t had much luck. In return, they received Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott, and a 2018 second round draft pick. At first glance, that return doesn’t look like a whole lot, but it allows the Knicks to finally move on from Melo and move forward with their rebuild.…

As we come down to the last week of the regular season in Major League Baseball and fantasy leagues, hopefully you are in a position to win or place in your league or you might be looking for a keeper to pick up for next year. This week's waiver wire recommendations has a little of both to help those in contention and those who might be looking to bolster their roster for seasons in the future. All players on this list are owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues with stats as of September 22. Justin Bour, 1B, Miami…

We're back again with out wide receiver matchup report.

On the flip side, We've got two WRs being bogged down by their cornerback matchup, and one being weighted by Case Keenum. I hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me on Twitter @JonSauber. Favorable Matchups Keenan Allen vs. Kansas City Chiefs For the second week in a row we have a…

Kudos to you if you are still playing meaningful fantasy baseball games here into the last week of September! In my experience, there is a steady decline in participation once the All-Star break has your fantasy standings pretty well sorted out between contenders and pretenders. Of that group, it is those truly fanatic fantasy baseball players and/or lucky playoff participants who are paying attention this deep into the major league season. Best of luck to all of you this last week! Since this is the last full week of the…
