The post MLB DFS Picks and Plays for June 5: Top DraftKings and FanDuel Plays was written by Ryan Kirkseyappeared first on FantraxHQ. Monday night’s MLB DFS main slate is highlighted by some very shaky pitcher options for the seven-game main slate. Aaron Nola against Detroit is the de facto top pitcher on the slate because of his raw skills, but he has been very shaky this season. His past seven starts have produced four games with exactly 11 fantasy points and two starts with more than 30. Nola has been much better at home, so he will be my most-rostered pitcher, but it gets very interesting ..read more

The post Building the Perfect Team: Cherry-Picking ADP was written by Cliff Williamsappeared first on FantraxHQ. Can you win your league if you cherry-pick players based on ADP (Average Draft Position)? Most of us as we sit down for our draft we will have a cheat sheet created by a Fantasy expert ranking the top players. You can find a great one that our very own Colin McTamany put together ranking the top 200 players for a PPR league. What if we try something different this year? Draft strictly based on ADP. Crazy talk you say? I thought so too but let’s look at what happens. I set some rule ..read more

The post Fantasy Baseball: Five Hitters to Stream for Week 10 was written by Ray Kuhnappeared first on FantraxHQ. When it comes time to set your lineup each week, a large amount of focus is often placed on maximizing pitching matchups. Now, there is nothing wrong with it, and I wrote a whole article about Two Start pitchers, but let us give some respect to the bats as well. Hitters can have both good and bad matchups and situations as well, and exploiting that could ultimately serve to be a wise strategy. With that being said, let us take a look at Five Hitters to Stream. More great fantasy b ..read more

The post Who Should You Take With the No. 1 Pick in 2023 Redraft Fantasy Football Leagues? was written by Colin McTamanyappeared first on FantraxHQ. Landing the No. 1 pick in a redraft fantasy football league is a blessing and a curse. It’s great to have the first choice of any player you want to build your team around. However, there are a handful of players that present a strong case to be worthy enough of the 1.01 pick. In Superflex leagues, I’m drafting my top-ranked quarterback with the 1.01 pick given the value and demand at the position in that format knowing, too, that the options ava ..read more

The post Hitting Prospects on the Rise In Double-A was written by Richard Haakeappeared first on FantraxHQ. In recent weeks we have seen organizations promote prospects to the Major Leagues as well as bump top performers to the next level in the minor leagues. It’s important to me to have my finger on the pulse of these promotions so you have the best opportunity to get in on the “ground floor” before the cost to acquire skyrockets out of control. Let’s dive into the top-performing hitting prospects in double-A this week. More great fantasy baseball advice and analysis: Waiver Wire & FAAB ..read more

The post Fantasy NASCAR DFS Picks: Enjoy Illinois 300 was written by Dan Malinappeared first on FantraxHQ. For the second time in the NextGen era, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Midwest for racing around the 1.25-mile oval of World Wide Technology Raceway. Last year’s race saw Joey Logano drive to victory lane for the inaugural Enjoy Illinois 300 and coming off the backs of Ryan Blaney winning the Coca-Cola 600 a week ago, Team Penske has seemingly found new life heading into this weekend. As we begin constructing our fantasy NASCAR DFS lineups, we will need to decide what we should look ..read more

The post 2023 Fantasy Football Breakouts at Every Position was written by Colin McTamanyappeared first on FantraxHQ. We all know who the obvious studs are at each position this year in fantasy football. Drafting them with a high pick comes with expectations that they can finish at the top of their position or at least come close. Whether it’s your first time or you’re an experienced fantasy football manager, you should know the game is never that chalky. There are always fantasy football breakouts that exceed their draft capital. The purpose of this piece is to identify one player at each pos ..read more
