The NBA is yet to release week 7 of the NBA schedule, but we know each team plays twice, so I've temporarily placed TBC placeholder games for each team on Tuesday and Thursday.

Hey everyone,
I'm at the point where I'm beta testing the tools I've made for the fantasy football website, and before it all launches on the 5th of August, I'm looking to get some last minute requests to see if there's something that I can quickly make before going live.
Right now the league tools are for Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper leagues.

Hey everyone, just wanted to quickly share what I've been working on for Hashtag Football over the past 10 days.
I've lined up a new data provider for in-season stats, which means more metrics to play with! (I was able to afford it because of your support on Patreon, so a big thanks to you all).
There will also be two different sets of projections (The Blitz, and projections from fa...

It's getting a bit of a re-vamp (re-doing almost all of the tools, including more complementary stats, and giving you the option to customize the scoring settings).
You'll have the option to populate the scoring settings based on the defaults that diff...

2023-07-15 22:46:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey all - as some of you may have already noticed, the dynasty ranking page on the website has now been updated.
It now includes a new forecast range feature that lets you specify how many seasons the rankings should focus on (next 3 or 5). The next 3 give vets a bit of a bump in value.
This was a pretty big update for me since it resulted in me re-building my model to allow f...

Hey everyone,
Just a heads up that I'll be adding new categories to Hashtag Baseball this weekend (it just comes down to whether those categories are available in the BAT X dataset that I have available).
