Dude is a tank wtf!!

Black made his season debut Sunday after missing the first two games with an ankle sprain, and he looked more than ready, scoring 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting with 5 3s, 5 assists, 3 boards and 2 steals in 26 minutes. With Banchero out for an extended period and Suggs hurt, Black will play a lot of minutes and provide a much-needed versatile guard who can create, defend and help generate offense. The Magic elected not to extend him earlier in the offseason. It'll be interesting to see how his play might force their hand. He's a must-add in all formats as he'll see a big boost in usage going forward. CONGRATS IF YOU SNAGGED HIM.

J-Dub was just listed as Doubtful on Yahoo after breaking his damn leg and being out for months… or potentially longer. Do owners in keeper or dynasty leagues seriously have to wait for an official diagnosis before they can IL him and pick up a replacement? Absolutely ridiculous..

/u/yahoofantasycare fix this shit

Second leg of a B2B - haven’t been up to date with Ant but does he normally sit out B2Bs?

Whoever has Steph. Try your best to get rid of him now. The warriors are the worst team in the league and Steve Kerr already has plans to sit him to preserve his knees. He is a ticking time bomb, I would ship him for any star that could be relatively healthy down the road. Use whatever games that he does well in to ship him off.

Week 2 adds are live. Every pick is rostered in under 65% of Yahoo leagues as of today (October 26), all for 9-cat leagues, grouped into six tiers by league size — from 10-teamers down to the 14–16-team deep names.

Full list with stats for all 33: https://www.nbadepthcharts.com/waiver-wire-week-2

A few that stood out: - Anthony Black (ORL · 48% · 10-team tier) — Great first game back, and now Suggs may be out a couple weeks. Recall Black started last season on fire and could be more consistent this year. - Ajay Mitchell (OKC · 55% · 10–12-team tier) — Should be back to his role from last season with JDub now out again. - Paul Reed (DET · 50% · 12-team tier) — Should be serviceable for a couple weeks with Duren out. - Jaxson Hayes (UTA · 27% · 12–14-team tier) — Great source for blocks for at least a few more weeks until Nurkic returns. - Dennis Schröder (CHA · 26% · 14-team tier) — Some counting stats for your team until White returns. - Kris Dunn (LAC · 22% · 14-team tier) — Great source for steals, and better all-around than Keon Ellis. - Keon Ellis (BKN · 15% · 14–16-team tier) — Great source for steals if Dunn isn't available. May lose more and more minutes to Mikel Brown. - Ja'Kobe Walter (TOR · 7% · 14–16-team tier) — 2.3 SPG and 2.7 3PM are unsustainable, but hard to ignore.

In 2 leagues, drafted all 3 in both. RIP our fantasy seasons

Just want to ask fellow fantasy managers opinions who are the players underperforming and will be better after week1.

For me it's been Pritchard and Bane

How are we feeling about this guy? It’s been a lackluster week 1 for the big fella in Brooklyn. Some of that could be chalked up to foul trouble. But eye-test wise are we still seeing the breakout season everybody was hyped for? Are the Nets to blame for playing Dubious Handle PG ball? And more importantly, are we holding in shallow formats like 10/12 teamers? Personally, I’ll probably hold for a week or more since Josh Lloyds doing it.

Is he finally starting to see real minutes or is this just a fluke until Nurkic returns? So far he’s looked very controlled, can play within the offense, and is efficient.

Should he be rostered if he’s available in your league and is it time to buy into his stock

Is it normal for leagues to have a season limit on adds? This is the first time I’m playing in a league like this and it’s 50 adds limit for the entire season.

Personally not a fan because staying active in add/dropping and streaming is what makes fantasy fun for me

I know it's only been three games, but this guy is already looking like a potential league winner. He's putting up insane numbers, and his ridiculously high usage rate makes me think he can sustain a lot of this production. Even if he cools off a bit, he should still be a really valuable fantasy player. I managed to snag him in the 8th round, and at this rate, he could genuinely end up being one of my top three players this season.

Thoughts?

Jalen Williams had his left leg stabilized by medical personnel and was stretchered off.

I picked him up late into the draft and am not expecting much but wondering what everyone’s else’s thoughts are? Last year he was off and on the waivers all throughout the season and this year I finally scooped him up.

Hey all I'm playing fantasy basketball for the first time, and after 1 week, I have a question.

Playing Cat 9 head to head, and I did 4 add/drops on the margins to win my first match. Is there supposed to be this much churn and burn?

I would order the priority as follows in standard category leagues:

1. Anthony Black

2. Ajay Mitchell

3. Jay Huff

4. Alex Caruso

5. Mccain/Da Silva

What do you think about Gobert’s shot-blocking ability? I know it’s only been three games, but I’ve watched all of them, and honestly, it doesn’t look like he’s just been unlucky. He seems to lack the willingness to actually go for blocks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he averaged only around one block per game for the entire season. If that happens, what kind of fantasy value does he even have?

He's off to a heater. Do you guys think this is sustainable even with Brandon Ingram and Bradley Beal back? I feel like he has found his role to be a valuable fantasy asset going forward. He is also averaging 3.3 STLS right now. Is he the best fantasy pickup right now?
