Hey all - it looks like my web hosting company has had an issue with an upgrade on one of my servers, which means the websites are currently not functioning.
I’m working on getting them to restore a backup on a temporarily server until they have it fixed, but I wanted to give you all a heads up in case you’re trying to use the website today. I’m also going to have a recovery plan in...

Hey all - had a pretty good suggestion (from Matt Lawson who was kind enough to give Keeper a shout-out yesterday) to create a version of Keeper, but for the upcoming draft class.

It's an export of the top 60 prospects (in the order from the website I sourced the info from not related to fantasy basketball) and their averages from their 23/24 season.
Hey all - just a quick heads up that you can now import your ESPN WNBA fantasy league on Hashtag Basketball.
You can import using the ESPNW League link on the dashboard:

2024-05-15 12:35:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - many of us know Dan as the host (now former host?) of the Fantasy NBA Today podcast, all-round good dude, and fan of mature aged NBA players. And today he has announced his new podcast network.
I know first-hand how hard it is to get something off the ground and how risky it is go build something on your own, so I wanted to give him a quick shout-out and to show him some support...

Hey all - wanting to get some quick fantasy football feedback.
Would you use a feature that lets you keep your own set of fantasy football rankings to maintain and use within the premium tools?
Was also thinking of doing some kind of accuracy challenge (season-long and weekly) for people with some kind of small prize.
2024-05-04 04:06:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - when drafting in your fantasy football league, which set of rankings do you generally use the most?
2024-04-30 01:44:54 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - this is usually the time of the year where I lock into development mode and start building out new features for the websites. My goal is to have all 4 websites up to the standard of Hashtag Basketball (in their own unique ways).
My next 2 months will focus on Hashtag Baseball and Hashtag Football, and I'd love to hear your suggestions on what you'd like to see added to these two...

If you have any feedback, suggestions, and ideas on how the websites can be improved, please hop into the group chat and share your ideas...

2024-04-01 21:48:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - with the fantasy basketball season winding down I'm looking to collect as much feedback as possible so I can plan improvements during the off-season.
I've put together a feedback survey (similar to the one I put out last year) to capture your feedback.

It's playoff time, and I wanted to run you through some ways to get the most out of the premium tools on the website to prep for your playoff run!
Most of these tools are available for category leagues, and most have a points league equivalent.
This tool lets you simulate matchups against any two teams to see how they would have scored against eac...

Hey all - I've had this request a few times (for those who like to make their own draft spreadsheets), so I wanted to make sure this is available for you all (in the attached Google Sheet)!
It's an export of the following data that I have in my database:
Hey all - there's now a V2 of the Matchup Planner for ESPN leagues. This is a quick workaround for people in leagues that have multi-week playoff weeks.
It works by letting you select the fantasy basketball schedule week and your league's scoreboard week as separate dropdown list options (because scoreboard weeks often lag behind a week since they're multiple weeks in one week).
Hey all - just wanting to take a quick temperature check on whether it's worth turning on the community chat feature on Patreon.
From what I can see, it's mobile only, and you'd need to use the Patreon app to use it, but I can create 4 different chats (one for each fantasy sport?) for people to participate in. I'd still handle support via email and the contact forms on the website.

Atlanta Hawks:
The absence of Trae Young opens a lot of usage, to the tune of 19 shots per game. Historically, when Young misses time, Murray takes the reigns at point, ...

Hey all - just a heads up that the projections on Hashtag Basketball have now been updated. A summary of the main winners and losers can be found here.
Chat soon,

On days like today, I’m glad we have a working coffee machine in the house.
Here are my first fantasy basketball impressions of players movement at the deadline. I'm dropping them in groups for easy access. () show a player’s new team, /W are for players who have been waived and haven’t signed with a new team yet.
Projections will be updated on the website soon!
Hey all - just a quick heads up that the GP count on the fantasy basketball projections has now been updated from the projected games played total to be reached at the end of the season to a projected number of games to be played between now and the end of the season.
