FantraxHQ - The Home of Fantasy Sports Analysis

With the awards, the Vegas expansion draft, and the entry draft all happening last week, there is only one more big event to look forward to in the NHL offseason. Unrestricted free agents can sign wherever they want on Saturday, July 1. This year isn’t as exciting as usual because every free agent has a question mark, but there are some fantasy-relevant players available. This top 10's criteria is age, position, and last season’s point production. I’ll also discuss which teams could be interested and what question marks they…

The fantasy dynamite that was Taywan Taylor, Carlos Henderson, and Corey Davis have graduated and left the top receiver spot up for grabs. With eight weeks left until the college football season kicks off, it's important to know which receiver will put your team over the top. 10. Christian Kirk, Texas A&M Kirk led all Texas A&M receivers in receptions last season, and was second in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns for the Aggies. With Josh Reynolds out of the picture, Kirk is the guy in College Station and…

Welcome to this weeks' edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week I profiled a wide receiver who will be playing for the Los Angeles Rams this upcoming season, named Robert Woods. His opportunity as the primary weapon for Jared Goff could pay high dividends to savvy fantasy owners who draft him higher than his average draft position. A Fantasy Football Sleeper is a player that is in a position to play beyond their rankings or expectations, and who may provide you with some value at their draft position. This week…

With another full week of baseball ahead, it's always smart to check the waiver wire or scout for the occasional 'diamond in the rough' fantasy star found at a very cheap cost. Winning the waiver wire could be the difference between grabbing a few extra points to land in the money or falling just short. Here's a few hitters that might be available on your league waiver wire or could be found at a relatively low cost against favorable pitching matchups. (Note: Stats and numbers are as of June 23rd) Monday, June 26: Adam…

As I am very well aware, I missed the Jacob Faria waiver wire bandwagon. When I looked at the players that were owned in less than 50% of leagues last week, I did not choose him because I wanted to wait one more week to see if he was for real. While I was waiting, his ownership on ESPN sites shot up to 61% and 85% in cbssports.com leagues. This is our lesson for the week. No matter what any us might say or write, if your gut tells you to pick someone up, do it. Not every pick up will rocket up the wire like Faria, but if you…

With All-Star festivities having taken place in the minor leagues, it’s the perfect time to catch up on some of the lesser known prospects making names for themselves. These are all players who jumped on my radar with their performances during the first half of this season and who you should keep an eye on in dynasty leagues. CATCHER Danny Jansen (TOR) Age: 22 Level: AA Current stats: .351 avg, 7 HR, 30 R, 27 RBI, 26K/19BB in 54 games (205 AB) - Drafted in 2013, Jansen has come out of nowhere this season. The Jays…

After two very subpar weeks of two-start pitchers, we have a much deeper pool to jump into this week. Though it isn't very heavy at the top, it is pretty deep with opportunities in just about every tier. That makes for some very exciting plays in leagues where you can stack these dual start pitchers in your lineup. If you are fortunate enough to have each tier covered, all the better! On the other hand, with so many options out there in multiple tiers, your opponents will also have the same opportunities to stack up. Keep…

In last week’s top 10, we detailed some struggling players that are showing signs of turning it around in the second half of the season. This week we pinpoint an area that fantasy owners might need a little bit of help in. Ah, power. Everyone loves it and never seem to have enough of it. You know the old saying, “Pitching and defense win championships?” Well, that’s not the case in fantasy baseball. Power is the name of the game. Home runs are up across the league in general, and probably in your fantasy league too.…

This week's prospect update focuses on the Tampa Bay Rays' top 10 prospects and what they've been up to so far this season. The Rays' farm system is full of players who are not far off from the Majors. In fact, a couple players in the top 10 have already made their debut for the big league club. Without further ado, here's a look at how the Rays' top 10 prospects have been doing after three months of the season. 10. Justin Williams, OF The Rays acquired Williams in November 2014 as part of the Jeremy Hellickson trade…

This week our focus will be on my top five sleeper picks at the left wing position.  A note to remember when drafting wingers is that they can play on both sides. Don't be worried if you draft someone as a left winger and he plays mostly right. Once again, we will keep it easy and simple and base the list on points. Draft these guys carefully, and they should be great pickups for the middle or late rounds of any draft. In case you missed it, here are my picks for sleeper centers and right wings: Fantasy Hockey Sleepers for…
