Fantasy Forecaster: Dec. 10-16
The Rockets have been riding their starters pretty hard, and despite the timely efforts of Douglas and Smith, I imagine they’ll continue to do so. But looking at their schedule over the next few weeks, I wonder how Houston’s starters will respond. Don’t get me wrong; as a fantasy owner, I would never make too […]

Then there’s Tim Duncan. After declining statistically for years, Duncan startlingly re-emerged as a fantasy force last season. He hadn’t scored as much (17.8 points) or pushed double-digit rebounds (9.9 boards) since 2010. And he hadn’t been such a prolific shot-blocker (2.7 rejections) since 2005. Probably none of us expected that sort of production from […]

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 […]

Both Draymond Green (illness) and Andre Iguodala (hamstring) are listed as questionable to play. Iguodala also missed the Lakers game. If Green sits, you can expect Harrison Barnes and Brandon Rush to get more minutes than usual. If Iguodala misses another game, it leaves Shaun Livingston as the main backup ball handler, especially if Green […]

Here’s a look at the players that stand out this week, with their ownership percentage listed. Omri Casspi, SF, Sacramento Kings (26.1) Casspi has played over 40 minutes in back-to-back games, and it wasn’t by accident. It’s clear a month-and-a-half into the season that Casspi has carved out a big role on this team, helping […]

This is particularly true when we get down to some of the players ranked after the Top 100. Players ranked that low are typically inconsistent, streaky or unproven. That is why you’ll see a lot of fluctuation from week to week near the bottom of the rankings. With that in mind, let’s take a look […]
