Every few weeks or so, the schedules shape up just right so that a vast majority of the game's best pitchers are faced with two starts in a week. The week of April 30 to May 6 is one of those weeks. There aren't too many tough decisions or room for debate with a lot of these guys. Of course, most fantasy teams aren't lucky enough to have more than one top-tier starter, so you'll have to look elsewhere for more two-start guys.*As always, keep in mind that these are the probable two-start pitchers as of Friday, April 27…

Each week, I have taken a look at ownership percentages to highlight players who should be considered for potential New Player Claims in Fantrax’s Bronze Points Salary Cap Challenge game. This week, I am also going to add total points into the mix. Please note that using total points rather than points per game will eliminate players like J.T. Realmuto and Yuri Gurriel from the equation. But I still prefer total points for now because points per game is still such a fluid metric at this juncture in the young season. On April…

It is hard to believe we are already on the verge of entering Period 5 in the Fantrax Bronze Points Salary Cap Challenge game. And yet, barely 10% of all games have been played. That’s partly because there have been roughly a thousand postponements thus far, but it does remind us that it is still very early in the 2018 baseball season.

It’s still far too early to panic if your team is low in the standings, but at least we are starting to a gather a bit of data to work with. In general, it would be wise to wait a couple of more weeks to determine whether a player is addable or droppable. However, that luxury is not always afforded due to injuries and other factors. Here are the players who are the most popular among the nearly 750 teams in the Bronze Salary Cap Points Challenge game. I have also noted players who have been added or dropped by at least 20…

I’m old enough to remember when you would have no idea where your team stood in the standings until at least a week or two into the season. In a way, we were almost better off. Nowadays, you can see live standings from the first day of the season on. When I woke up on Friday and saw I was in last place in my Fantrax Roto league, I had to laugh. The truth is that one day is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Sure, it would be nice to get off to a quick start, but the important thing is to have the correct pieces…
