FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

Last week we wrapped up my midseason keeper and dynasty rankings with the top 300 overall rankings. This week we dive deep into those rankings to find some keeper-caliber players that are flying a little under the radar. With the fantasy baseball season winding down, it’s just about time to start looking at what players you’re going to keep if you play in those formats. Keeper leagues are all about maximizing future potential while trying to field the best lineup you can for the current season. If you’re a team near the…

Amidst all the news regarding Giancarlo Stanton home runs and Aaron Judge's growing streak with at least one strikeout per game, can Michael Conforto's breakout be overshadowed in his own city? Apparently so, but while Judge stamps his fantasy approval rating despite his recent swoon, Conforto has made adjustments following his horrific June, which led his own manager to suggest he looked tired. Of course, Terry Collins also buried Conforto in April despite admitting a 30 home run season lurks within his talented…

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. So the calculator tells me Greg Holland and Jake McGee have combined for a 48.60 ERA over the last week. The toaster also tells me the Rockies could be lucky to make the Wild Card. What? That's normal ...? Anyway, that sure is a big crooked number in the Rockies clubhouse. Feels like only yesterday we were talking about Holland in the same sentence as Kenley Jansen. I now ask you to all join hands, because I'd like to reflect on what was a pretty awesome... um, half season.…

Welcome to this week's edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week I compiled a short list of potential deep sleepers for the upcoming NFL fantasy season that may help you during your upcoming campaign. You can check out last week's article here. This week I will be profiling ArDarius Stewart, a New York Jets wide receiver, who, due to an injury, may see his role expand this season. A Fantasy Football Sleeper is a player that is in a position to play beyond their rankings or expectations, is a relative unknown, and…

Last week, I went through and found players that were incredibly undervalued based on their current Average Draft Position (ADP). Now it's time to look at the players who are going too early in most fantasy drafts when there are better options still on the table. Check more fantasy college football ADP data with Fantrax's new fantasy college football ADP.  Akrum Wadley RB, Iowa ADP: 24.92 Akrum Wadley would be deserving of the second round average if this were still 2016 and he was still a lone wolf in the backfields…

At this time of the year, the trade deadline for many fantasy leagues has either passed or will pass very soon. The waiver wire then becomes an owner's only means for adding players to help with the stretch run or adding young talent for future seasons.  So let's take a look at some players on the waiver wire that are owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues. Stats as of August 11. Tim Beckham, SS, Baltimore Orioles Beckham has been red hot since joining the Orioles in a trade from Tampa Bay. He won American League…

As we roll into Week 19 of the fantasy baseball season, many leagues are starting to wind down and the playoff races are coming into focus. Depending on where you find yourself in your respective standings just might make the difference in how you view the upcoming two-start matchups. If you are in the driver's seat, holding a locked position for the playoffs, you will want to maintain and not take any unnecessary chances. If you are a bubble dweller, you are probably looking for any and every advantage you can to propel…

Last week we took a quick break from baseball and detailed how some of the big NBA offseason moves affect the upcoming fantasy basketball season. Don’t worry, though. We’re back to baseball this week. There have been so many breakout players this season that I had to break this up into two separate articles. Today we’ll go over the breakout players in the AL and how to value them moving forward. We'll tackle the Senior Circuit next Saturday. A lot of times it can be difficult to figure out if a player's breakout is for…

There are few organizations in Major League Baseball that have a more impressive farm system than the Atlanta Braves. In fact, the Braves rank No. 1 according to MLB Pipeline and Bleacher Report, among others. They took over the No. 1 spot over the winter despite graduating their No. 1 prospect, Dansby Swanson, at the end of last season. A legitimate case can be made for any one of the Braves’ top five prospects being deserving of the No. 1 spot. They have teenagers making names for themselves, MLB-ready talent as well as…

There is just a little over a month before the NHL starts its preseason. Teams will hit the ice with a roster doubled its size to see what young prospects or veteran players will make the team. This is a great opportunity for fantasy players to find out which rookies will be playing in the NHL. Last year it was pretty easy to tell which rookies were going to make it or not. Austin Matthews, Patrick Laine, and Matthew Tkachuk were shoo-ins to make their teams. However, there were also players who surprised us and didn't make…
