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 […]

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 […]
