22/23 ESPN Busts
October 3rd, 2022 | Busts

October 1st, 2022 | Punting Guides

Luka Doncic (Pick 4-9) Punt FT%: Doncic/James/Gobert/Holiday/McCollum – The ideal Luka punt FT% start. Average in steals, below average in turnovers, and above average everywhere else.

22/23 Yahoo Busts
September 29th, 2022 | Busts

There are still plenty of players ranked too low in their rankings, but there are not a lot of players that are ranked much higher than they should be. Overall, Yahoo has done a solid job with their […]

22/23 ESPN Sleepers
September 28th, 2022 | Sleepers

ESPN’s rankings are weirder than ever. They are always a mess, but this year they feel especially nonsensical because it seems like they put some effort into their rankings before giving up halfway. If you take a look at their rankings, you’ll see that they did their homework with some players. Ja Morant is in a reasonable […]
