Discussion Yahoo IL- Out Designation

• Upvotes

So you're telling me- when a player is Out, we move him to IL then yahoo changes the tag immediately after the game to P/Q, it forces us to readd them to the lineup even if they dont have a game for the next couple of days; blocking a pickup.

Isnt this frustrating after removing IL+? Like should the player not just be tagged O until the day of their next game?

FAQ

  • How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score.

  • Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Reminds me of RoCo. Bad FG but a monster on D. Currently averaging 2 stls and 2 blks after 4 games. Even though he’s not starting, he’s getting 30 minutes consistently. 21 years young, so hopefully his shot will improve as the season goes. Go grab him if you can stomach his FG.

Player Discussion Matas Buzelis

23 Upvotes

What are we thinking about Matas Buzelis ROS?
I drafted him expecting a breakout season, but so far he’s been pretty frustrating to own, especially in points leagues.
I know he has a lot of upside, but I’m starting to question whether he’s worth holding or if that roster spot would be better used for streaming or picking up someone more consistent.
For those who have watched the Bulls, how has he actually looked? Are his struggles just early-season growing pains, or are there legitimate concerns about his role and consistency?
Would you guys hold and be patient, or move on?

I know a lot of people dislike him for fantasy, but he's been dropped in my league 12T PTS, and he seems definitely worthy of a roster spot. My dilemma is should i spend a waiver on him and drop one of Mamu, Jrue, Larsson for him?

Is Kuminga low-key a valuable asset in a 12T CAT league? I know his numbers look underwhelming but 12/6/3 with 2 steals and 46 FG% and 3PT% seems like too good to stay in FA, especially on a busy schedule like this week (MIN has 4 games). What do yo think?

Look, I'm so torn up abt him. In what world are u not playing ur franchise player 25+ mins. I get that the bulls have been mid asf, and there's been blowouts but cmon now. Idk if theres any experts in terms of roster rotations and that, but Splitter seems to be still figuring out rotations. That should have been done during preaseason, so if anyones got ideas I'd love to hear them below. I am holding him as we never sell a player this low, but man ts is frustrating.

How is this guy shooting so badly? 25% on 8 shots? Do we expect him to be this bad or is there some positive on the horizon?

I know he fell off some last year but still shot 44%

Are we getting a top 50 season or is that out of the question? What range do you expect him to finish?
