Hey all - given the popularity of Keeper (crowdsourced fantasy basketball dynasty rankings), which are available via https://hashtagbasketball.com/keeper - I wanted to do something similar, but instead, crowdsourcing fantasy basketball trade value for re-draft leagues (for both category and points leagues).

I'll be spending today finding any bugs / issues / things that I missed and need updating, but if you'd like to help out and wanna start using the premium tools early, please log into Hashtag Basketball, start using them, and lemme know if anything doesn't look right.

2025-08-09 01:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - I'm toying with the idea of video content for this upcoming fantasy basketball season: short, 5-10 minute weekly videos, edited, with a proper host (not me awkwardly fumbling my way through it), and I wanted to see how likely you would be to watch something like this, and what you'd like it to focus on?
The aim of the series would be to have something that is a good mix of enter...

Turns out I get a lot more done when I'm able to work full-time hours on Hashtag! (still another 4 weeks before my leave from my 9-5 job finishes).
The good news is that I'm ahead of schedule, so, over the next few days, I'm going to start the process of updating the premium tools and archiving last season's imported leagues.
I've also made the first draft of my projections availabl...
2025-08-05 13:03:53 +0000 UTC View PostFor me, my two main issues with per-game rankings are how standard 9-cat doesn't give the best reflection of individual player rankings (my attempt for a fix for this was the H2H ranking type that I introduced a few years ago).
My other, is how high injured players or players who are projected to play less than 50 games get treated equally in per-game average rankings.
I've been tin...
2025-08-03 23:12:32 +0000 UTC View PostI know I've been posting a lot of updates recently (I'm officially half way through the time off I've taken from my 9-5 job to work on Hashtag, so I've had a lot to post out!).
I don't really do social media, so this is the best way for me to share updates, and I wanted to see how you prefer to receive them?
Do you prefer to continue receiving them at this cadence on Patreon (postin...
2025-07-31 00:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostMy bad for forgetting this and sending it in another email, but I didn't wanna leave this one out since it's one of the better features of the website!
Hashtag is typically very tool and data focused, but the survey feedback leaned towards you all wanting to see some more written content, so, this is my first ever attempt at a draft guide, and is the template that will be used for Hashtag...
2025-07-31 00:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostI know the majority of you are subscribed to my Patreon because you use Hashtag Basketball, but what if I told you there's a Hashtag Basketball, but for fantasy football?
(As you can tell by that terrible opening, I never did anything with my Marketing degree).
I've been quietly working on https://hashtagfootball.com 2025-07-30 12:43:49 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm going for a new strategy with my dynasty rankings. Small, frequent updates (as opposed to letting too much time pass between updates, which I have been guilty of in the past).
You can see the updated rankings here:

Hey all - wanting to take a temperature check on how many people would be interested in some frequently run fantasy basketball dynasty mock drafts? I was thinking of collating the data and sharing the results to track over time.
If you're interested, please reply with the country you're from, and what time/day would suit you. They'd be live snake drafts hosted on Fantrax.

2025-07-27 23:59:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - looking to get some input so I know what to work on first when I switch to fantasy basketball mode in August.
If you have a fantasy basketball draft happening soon, please vote in this poll and reply with the type of draft it is (dynasty startup, rookie, standard redraft etc.)
Cheers,

Hey all - just a heads up that I've updated my fantasy basketball dynasty rankings, which should now reflect most free agency moves and injuries (to date).
Let me know if anybody stands out as needing an update! Was a bit late getting this update out as I've been grinding away getting the fantasy football website ready, but I'll be switching back to fantasy basketball mode at the start of...

Sharing a sneak preview of something I started working on yesterday!
You'll soon have the ability to create your own polls and have other members of the website vote and discuss them. It's a nice way of getting feedback on potential trades, adds etc.
You'll start with creating the question, and then add as many players to the poll as you like. It'll look something like this (below)....

2025-07-06 21:56:32 +0000 UTC View PostI usually update my dynasty rankings in 2 stages. The first stage is the rankings adjustment, followed by procrastinating my way through updating the out of date comments, and making additional adjustments to the rankings.
So, here is stage 2 of my dynasty rankings update, now with (mostly) updated comments, and adjustments to the rankings based on free-agency moves. It's now live via: 2025-07-05 11:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post

2025-07-04 03:14:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - I completely missed ESPN opening up fantasy basketball leagues for the 2025-26 early (my bad). I've just switched on the ability to import leagues again, but please keep in mind that my 2025-26 projections aren't out yet (I usually don't start working on them until August), so I've made the default rankings set to the 2024-25 rankings.
This also means that rookies won't be appea...

The funding raised helped me scale up Hashtag Basketball and launch 3 additional websites.
