Punt Blocks: Nikola Jokic/Karl-Anthony Towns Above average in Rebounds, Assists, FG%, FT% Below average in Points, Threes, Steals, Turnovers Those fortunate enough to start their teams with Jokic should not be afraid to start big-big. That is a move that can work very well in both punt threes and punt blocks. While you will come […]
This is another punting guide that is worth a read, even if you have another strategy in mind. Not because it’s a strategy that a large chunk of your league is going to use like punt FG%, but because this is a strategy that works well not only as a primary strategy but as a […]
This year’s ESPN rankings are…not that bad? They’re not great, but they are a step up from last season’s debacle. In 2022-2023, we had players like Devin Vassell ranked outside of the top 150, interesting rookies like Walker Kessler ranked beside Zoran (not Goran) Dragic, and Jamal Murray ranked as a final-round flier. This year, […]
Punting points is for those who will not be satisfied with just winning their league. It is for those who want to demoralize their opponents to the point where they are left wondering why they even bothered to join the league in the first place. While this is not the easiest strategy to pull off, […]
This is version 1 of this year’s Yahoo Sleepers/Undervalued Players list. Below are more than two dozen players that are currently ranked lower than they should be on Yahoo. Some of the players on this list are traditional sleeper types, but most are known names that Yahoo has mispriced for one reason or another. This […]
The nine-category and eight-category projection files have been updated to include a “Best Build” projections tab. This set of projections ranks each player using their value in their best build.

The Punt Blocks Strategy The punt blocks build may not be as flashy or as popular as strategies like punt FT% or punt FG%, but that doesn’t mean it is not a championship-winning strategy. This is a classic build that has become even more effective as the NBA has transitioned to a more perimeter-oriented league. […]
The Punt Threes Strategy Punting threes is another strategy that every category league player should get familiar with. Not because it’s guaranteed to show up in your league like punt FG% is. It may not. This is not a strategy that you are going to see novice punters deploy too often. You need to get […]

6) Tyrese Haliburton (PG/SG) – Haliburton will return to the role that allowed him to post top-eight per-game numbers during his breakout 2022-2023 campaign. The Pacers didn’t make any notable additions outside of Bruce Brown who shouldn’t have a material impact on Haliburton’s value. The predictable role makes Haliburton one of the safer first-round picks […]
The Punt Assists Strategy The punt assists build will always get top billing here at Elite Fantasy Basketball. It gets priority because it is a strategy that almost every fantasy player should consider. It is a relatively straightforward strategy that comes with both a high floor and a high ceiling. If you are new to […]
