Fantasy Forecaster: March 4-10

Continue readingIs Anthony Davis still a top-5 fantasy player?
This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Kevin Pelton, ESPN Fantasy analyst Joe Kaiser and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Pelton: It’s a concern. The best predictor of players missing games in the future is the games they’ve missed in the past. Whatever the reason, Davis seems to have a tendency to suffer a variety of […]

Here are some players to target this week, with their ESPN ownership listed: Norris Cole, PG, New Orleans Pelicans (25.2) Tyreke Evans (knee) is out through the All-Star break, and the Pelicans are the only team in the league that play three games this week so Cole is a good one to target. Over the […]

As the only Wizards fan I know, I spend a lot of time trying to rationalize the machinations of Ernie Grunfeld.

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 […]
Continue readingStarting Five: Rose or Rondo?
One thing I always preach early in the season is to keep things in perspective. We aren’t even two weeks into the 2015-16 campaign, and most teams have played just seven or eight games. If it were January, we would speak of seven to eight contests or two weeks as a “stretch of games” or […]
