I was only able to get through seven of the 13 games tonight. Normally, I’d just write up the other six tomorrow morning, but since I have a five-hour flight with a toddler tomorrow, I’m not going to have time to finish it off. Instead, I threw together a couple of tweets that break down […]
*I’m going to be extending the “Draft Season” package expiry date until the end of Week 2. Starting in Week 3, there will be a package available that allows you to purchase rest-of-season access to the site. Julius Randle (Buy Low): Another rough night from the field and the line from Randle. It’s annoying, but […]
Harden Trade Analysis From a fantasy standpoint, this is not the most interesting trade in the world. It boosts some players and hurts others, but there are no clear 12-team pickups. Harden leaving the Sixers should turn Tyrese Maxey into at least a top-30 option. With no high-usage players coming back to Philadelphia, 25+ PPG, […]
Fred VanVleet (Buy Low): VanVleet is one of the stronger early-season buy-low targets. If you are punting FG%, it would almost be criminal to not at least enquire about his price. His upside in that build remains enormous. While two duds in three games is annoying, it’s not something to be too worried about. The […]
It’s been an interesting start to the year. While there haven’t been a ton of potential difference-makers popping up on the wire, there have been quite a few potential top-100 players. That’s a nice change from last season when the top Week 1 pickup was Santi Aldama. Most of the players on the below list […]

Delon Wright (Pick Up): Twenty-five minutes may not seem like a ton, but for Wright, it’s enough to turn him into a very nice piece. If you are punting points, he is a must-add. In other builds, he should be considered as well. If his minutes end up in that range, he’ll have mid-round upside […]
LeBron James: LeBron teams may be in a little trouble. James was limited last night. As the game was going on, it was assumed that this was just a game one thing, but after the game, Ham suggested that LeBron is going to around 30 MPG this year. If that proves to be the case, […]

1) Victor Wembanyama – From a fantasy standpoint, Wembanyama is the most exciting prospect since Anthony Davis. While it would be a slightly risky move because we don’t know whether or not Wembanyama’s frame can consistently withstand an 82-game schedule, he is viable in dynasty startups as high as pick two. The Spur has a […]

Kevin Durant (Pick 9-12) Punt Steals: Durant/Bridges – Will usually be there in 14-team leagues. Could be there in 16-team leagues as well if you take Durant around 12. Pairs the fragile Durant with the most durable player in the league while getting you off to a very strong start in points, threes, blocks, both percentages, […]
Luka Doncic (Pick 2-6) Punt FT%: Doncic/VanVleet – Should be there in a lot of 14-team leagues. Lights out in the categories that punt FT% has to target early. Very strong in points, threes, assists, and steals. FG% should be fine once you start taking the traditional punt FT% bigs, but try to avoid taking any […]
YouTube Link: Punting Strategy Discussion with Dan Besbris
The option to adjust the nine-category and eight-category projections to show each player’s value and ranking in multi-category punting builds has been added to the projections page. For example, you can now adjust the projections to display each player’s value and ranking in a punt points and FT% scenario. To do this, follow the instructions […]
One of the questions I get asked the most is “When is it okay to reach for X player?”. That’s a very reasonable question. In competitive leagues, we often have to reach for the players we want. This guide answers that question for the players currently ranked inside of the top 100 in Elite Fantasy […]
Anthony Davis (Pick 9-12) Punt Threes: Davis/Young/Adebayo/DeRozan/Beal – A textbook punt threes start. Young is the best second-round partner for Davis in punt threes. He is durable, doesn’t hit as many threes as you’d think, and his line complements Davis’ line very well. Adebayo and DeRozan are your top targets in punt threes in rounds […]
Jayson Tatum (Pick 3-7) Punt FG%: Tatum/Towns/Dejounte Murray/Porzingis/Barnes – This is a group that comes with no significant per-game weaknesses. This combination is slightly below average in points and average or better everywhere else. An excellent start in turnovers for a punt FG% team. You won’t be quite as dominant in the category as the […]
If you are short on time this draft season, this is the guide for you. Below are 36 five-man combinations that will send you into the sixth round in good shape. I wouldn’t recommend taking this approach, but if you did no other draft preparation and simply copied one of the below combinations, you would […]
