This year’s Roto Top 150 is very different from this season’s H2H Top 150. That is because the two formats require very different approaches. In Roto, it is possible to punt, but it is not a strategy that every team should employ, as it is in H2H. Punting works in Roto but only when only […]
Donovan Mitchell (Pick 10-12) Punt FG% Donovan Mitchell/LaMelo Ball (Roto) Above average in Threes, Assists, Steals, FT% Average in Points Below average in Rebounds, Blocks, Turnovers This is a pairing for those who want to throw caution to the wind and chase upside. This is obviously not a safe start, but that doesn’t mean it’s […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Pick 5-6) Punt FT% Giannis Antetokounmpo/De’Aaron Fox Above average in Points, Rebounds, Steals, FG% Average in Assists, Turnovers Below average in Threes, Blocks It’s fine to reach for Fox in the middle of the second if you are punting FT%. In other builds, he’s best left for the end of the round or […]
Luka Doncic (Pick 3-4) Punt FG%: Luka Doncic/Fred VanVleet Above average in Threes, Assists, Steals Average in Turnovers Below average in Points, Rebounds, Blocks, FT% Whether or not to grab VanVleet in the second instead of the third comes down to what you think the Victor Wembanyama team will do at the turn. If you […]

These rankings are based on ESPN’s default points league scoring system. The scoring system is as follows: FGM = 2 FGA = -1 FTM = 1 FTA = -1 3PM = 1 REB = 1 AST = 2 STL = 4 BLK = 4 TO = -2 PTS = 1 Since the scoring system in […]
These rankings are based on Yahoo’s default points league scoring system. The scoring system is as follows: Pts = 1 Reb = 1.2 Asst = 1.5 Blk = 3 Stl = 3 Turnover = -1 Since the scoring system in points leagues is significantly different from the scoring system in category leagues, this Top 150 […]
The Punt Threes Strategy The question I get asked the most during the preseason is what do I think is the best punting strategy. My answer to that is always “it depends”. If you are in an eight-category league, then punt FG% is king. With five categories geared towards guards and only three geared towards bigs, you almost have […]
The Punt Blocks Strategy The punt blocks build is a strategy we all need to start paying more attention to. It’s a championship-winning strategy when implemented properly, but it’s usually not the first choice of many fantasy managers. Expect that to change over the next decade. The reason for that is Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs’ center […]
The Punt FT% Strategy The punt FT% strategy is in the midst of a resurgence. The build was starting to lose some of its luster toward the end of the 2010s due to some long-time top targets like Andre Drummond and DeAndre Jordan fading into irrelevancy and the league rapidly moving away from double-big lineups. […]
Instead of coming up with a traditional sleepers and busts list for salary cap leagues, I have put together an analysis that identifies players who are overpriced and underpriced in the various league settings and punting strategies. This analysis compares a player’s projected value in dollars based on Elite Fantasy Basketball’s projections to their average […]
