Bruce Brown: Brown is in the midst of a very quiet stretch after putting up some top-100 numbers in the middle of November and in early December, although his last couple of duds have been due to blowouts. In 10-team leagues, he’s a drop. He’s now producing borderline top-125 numbers which puts him in the streaming […]
This is a doozy. Below is an analysis that looks at the lines of every player currently ranked inside of the top 100 in nine-category leagues and some notable players currently ranked outside of the top 100. It highlights numbers in each line that are out of line with preseason expectations and discusses whether or […]
Standard League (12 Team) Strong Adds Caris LeVert – LeVert is your top add this week. With both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley out for the long term, LeVert is likely going to step into a high-usage 35 MPG role. Expect some very nice numbers in points, threes, assists, and steals. Given what LeVert has […]
Tari Eason (Pick Up): Grab him and see where this goes. The odds of the minutes sticking are low, but any time a per-minute stud pops off like this, we should take a flier just in case they do. For the minutes to stick, one of Brooks or Green has to take a hit. Green […]
Dario Saric (Pick Up): Saric is worth a flier in most leagues with Draymond likely looking at another 5+ games in the penalty box. When Draymond was suspended for five games earlier in the year, Saric averaged 14.6 PPG on 51.0 FG%, 2.2 3PG, 5.8 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.2 SPG. Those numbers were good enough […]
Jalen Green: At this point, he’s R.J. Barrett without the low-end FT% impact. Green is a drop in 10-team leagues and is not a must-roster in 12-team leagues. He would be a clear drop there as well, but due to his ADP and his PPG, he likely has some trade value, so if you are sick […]
Deep League (14+ Team) Adds Donte DiVincenzo – The Knicks have moved DiVincenzo into the starting lineup at the expense of Quentin Grimes. That move doesn’t guarantee big minutes for DiVincenzo, but it will likely lead to enough of a bump to make him a solid 14-team league piece. If he can lock down 28+ […]
Jalen Duren injury: Duren is out for at least two weeks with yet another ankle injury. The last time he was out it was Bagley who was the main beneficiary. However, with Bogdanovic back, the Pistons may go in another direction. They could bring Thompson back into the starting lineup (the smart move), or we […]

Anyone in a decent-sized role on an in-tournament team: Unless you have gotten lucky and your squad is full of players on the teams still alive in the in-season tournament, your only path to extra games in Week 7 will be through targeting the low-end options on the Lakers, Suns, Kings, Pelicans, Celtics, Pacers, Knicks, […]

Al Horford (Pick Up): Another massive night from Horford with Porzingis out. He is a must-stream as long as KP is on the sidelines. What to do with Horford is pretty clear at this point. On nights when he comes off the bench, he’s useless, and on nights when a non-Porzingis starter is out, he’s […]
Jordan Poole (Buy Low in Punt FG%/Turnovers): Back to the ugly stuff for Poole after his best three-game stretch of the season. The Wizard is now ranked just outside of the top 200 in nine-category leagues. In punt FG%, I would consider buying low, especially if you are punting turnovers or are playing in an […]
Shaedon Sharpe (Sell High): He’s more of a sell than a sell high since a sell high implies that he’s been playing well. Sharpe has not, but since he had a fair amount of hype in preseason and his PPG remains solid (16.9 PPG), it may be possible to get someone reliable for him before Simons […]
Standard League Low-end Adds Kyle Anderson – Anderson is the Wolves backup to add with Jaden McDaniels out for the next week or two. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is going to start in McDaniels’ absence, but it should be Anderson who produces standard league numbers. When given heavy run, Anderson has the ability to produce a much […]
