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 has the potential to break fantasy leagues, especially those of the eight-category variety. Those starting their drafts with Nikola Jokic won’t be at a disadvantage this year, but it’s unlikely Big Honey’s fantasy value will keep pace with Wembanyama’s for much longer. We are almost certainly about to enter a period where the Frenchman’s dominance will define category leagues. To take down the Wemby squad in our leagues, we are going to have to get creative, and that is where punting blocks comes in. When we punt blocks, we won’t completely neutralize the future bane of fantasy leagues, but we can make Wembanyama much less scary to go up against. To give you an idea of how effective punting blocks is at taking the 2023 first-overall pick down a notch, let’s take a look at Wembanyama’s 2023-2024 final per-game rankings with and without blocks.
Nine-category: 7
Eight-category: 6
Nine-category without blocks: 53
Eight-category without blocks: 31
Wembanyama will improve on all of those rankings in his second year in the association, but the impact of punting blocks is clear. If you punt blocks, Wembanyama goes from being arguably the scariest player in fantasy to just another early-round player. The center having so much value tied up in one category is a weakness we can exploit with smart team building.
