FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Let's start where we left off last week. Actually here's a better idea, let's not. Don't forget, the Rams, Bills and Jaguars all sit atop their divisions right now. DeShone Kizer also threw for over 200 yards, oh, and David Johnson is no more - fantastic. Anyway, here's the breakdown on every matchup for Week 2. P.S. these rankings are intended for PPR leagues.

Now that our fantasy sleepers series has wrapped up, we move on to this season's impact rookies. After a loaded 2017 NBA Draft, the outlook is promising on the fantasy front. Some of the best talents in the draft may take a few years to become valuable contributors, but several should still make an impact from this season's opening tip. It should be no surprise that three of our choices were lottery picks this year and players who will receive impact roles immediately. Lonzo Ball, Los Angeles Lakers No rookie from the 2017…

Week 1 is officially in the books! Just as everyone predicted, Austin Hooper and Jesse James are the top two fantasy tight ends. Business as usual. Seriously, though - aside from Hooper and James trading places with Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce atop the tight end leaderboard, there wasn’t a lot that took place in Week 1 that changed the tight end landscape. Just 10 tight ends reached double-digit point totals in Week 1. Gronkowski and Kelce had difficult matchups and they will obviously recover quickly. As we approach…

Carolina Hurricanes 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. 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, each with their own respective draft. Last…

Quarterbacks Shane Morris, Central Michigan -- % Owned: 2% After losing the starting job at Michigan to Wilton Speight, Shane Morris decided to transfer to Central Michigan for his final year of eligibility. While Morris' transfer announcement did not make too many headlines this offseason, his performance against Kansas this past weekend did. A 467-yard and five-touchdown performance by the grad transfer has turned the heads of many fantasy owners. Central Michigan's weak schedule makes Morris a hot add this week.…

Welcome to the this week's edition of the Weekly Waiver Targets, where I offer up some of the top waiver wire suggestions for you each and every week. Whether the goal is to improve your team for the upcoming week, or more to stash for the future, start your research here and bid accordingly. QUARTERBACK My top waiver wire target at quarterback this week is Trevor Siemian of the Denver Broncos. Siemian, who is currently owned in 26% of Fantrax leagues, had a great start to the season on Monday night against the Chargers.…

Last week in Dynasty Dugout, we went over a handful of top prospects that struggled during the 2017 season. This week is the exact opposite. Every season you always have prospects that blow everyone away and exceed expectations. Never has that statement been truer than in 2017. There have been so many spectacular performances, I could honestly write five or six of these articles, but I’ll keep it to just two. This week is about the hitters, with pitchers on deck for next week. Ronald Acuna (OF – ATL) Was there really…

Well, Week 1 went off without a hitch. If you want an adjective, use "predictable," because Sunday pretty much went according to plan. Tom Savage? Pfft, more like Tom Tame. Oh, the Browns, Bears, and Jets also lost, not that anyone expected that. This really is like watching a three-hour movie, only to find out it was all just a dream in the end. Anywho, as mundane as Week 1 might have been, there are some BIG fantasy storylines to chew on. Some, you probably saw coming. Others, well, let's just say you never know who's…

I'm combining both right and left wingers for this top 15 list. Although Leon Draisaitl and Joe Pavelski usually play on the wing, I’m not including them because I already put them in the Top 10 Centers list. This list is based on last season's points total, with the tie-breaker being how consistent they've been. 15. Jeff Skinner, LW, Carolina Hurricanes Skinner had 37 goals last season. This puts him in fourth among wingers and sixth overall. He had 63 points in 79 games. Since he plays for Carolina, a team people forget…

This is a perfect time of the year for fantasy baseball owners to get one up on the rival owners and pick some players with a great deal of upside from the waiver wire. Many baseball owners are looking forward to Week 1 of the NFL season and might not pay as much attention to their team or the waiver wire as they should. This week's list includes some good young prospects and some solid veterans that could help you down the stretch or in future seasons. These players are available in more than 50 percent of ESPN leagues with…
