Yahoo usually does a good job of avoiding ranking players too high. The Yahoo Sleeper List is always fairly lengthy, but it’s been a few years since the Bust List included plenty of names. This year is no exception. While the Sleeper List includes almost 30 names, this year’s Bust List is about half the […]
This year’s Roto Top 150 is very different from this season’s H2H Top 150. That is because the two formats require very different approaches. In Roto, it is possible to punt, but it is not a strategy that every team should employ, as it is in H2H. Punting works in Roto but only when only […]
Punt Assists: Anthony Davis/Mikal Bridges Above average in Rebounds, Blocks, FG%, Turnovers Average in Points Below average in Threes, Steals, FT% This combination isn’t as strong on a per-game basis as the Mitchell pairing, but it is a safer option. Bridges has been the most durable player in the league since making his pro debut […]
Punt Assists: Jayson Tatum/Mikal Bridges (Roto) Above average in Points, Threes, FT%, Turnovers Below average in Rebounds, Steals, Blocks, FG% This is the safest pairing in fantasy basketball. Both Tatum and Bridges have a legitimate shot at playing 75+ games this year. Tatum has never missed more than a handful of games in a season […]
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. For example, it takes Nikola Jokic’s value in his best build (punt threes) and compares it to the value of Giannis Antetokounmpo in his best […]

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 […]
Instead of coming up with a traditional sleepers and busts list for salary cap leagues, I have put together an analysis that identifies players who are overpriced and underpriced in the various league settings and punting strategies. This analysis compares a player’s projected value in dollars based on Elite Fantasy Basketball’s projections to their average […]
