Fantasy rankings: Towns jumps past Curry into top three
It went from Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City for Western Conference rival Golden State, to Tim Duncan deciding to join Kobe Bryant in retirement, to an assortment of high-profile coaching changes, to the U.S. taking home an Olympic gold in Rio. And we haven’t even mentioned the infusion of talent the June draft added to […]

At this point, Ellis probably only has a few years left in the league, and it’s safe to say that his days as a valuable fantasy option are over. Today, however, we don’t want to focus on the aging players. Instead, we want to go around the league and highlight the players in the prime […]
Continue readingHow the trade deadline could affect Love, Melo and other fantasy stars
The trade deadline doesn’t have to feature a marquee name to register a fantasy impact. The aftershocks of last season’s deadline are still reverberating at point guard. No Chris Paul– or Russell Westbrook-sized names swapped jerseys.

Boston’s opponents are also shooting a robust 45.9 percent, meaning that the Celtics rank just 26th in that regard. If that wasn’t bad enough, Boston is getting obliterated on the boards: The Celtics have a […]

As I warned last week, this time-share will continue to frustrate fantasy owners unless an injury strikes in the Raptors’ backcourt. Calderon and Lowry have individual value, but they’ll continue to cut into each other’s minutes and production for the foreseeable future. Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from […]

Continue readingStarting Five: Debating C.J. McCollum vs. Reggie Jackson
It takes time to answer questions like whether Reggie Jackson or C.J. McCollum is a better rotisserie play, what you should expect from Brandon Jennings and Marcus Smart as they return from injury, whether Terrence Jones is worth a roster spot or, whether the #FreeBobbyPortis campaign is actually coming to fruition. Don’t worry; I have […]
