Player Discussion Is this the most brutal start to fantasy bball ever?

326 Upvotes

It’s literally been 1 week since the season started and we’ve got

- Jdub likely out for season
- JJJ probably out for like 2+ months
- Paolo probably 2 months out
- Suggs probably a month out
- Duren 2+ weeks out
- Keegan Murray 2+ weeks out
- Kawhi (cooked) who knows when hes back
- cason Wallace out for most the season
- Kon Knueppel - Unknown return time
- Coby White - Unknown return time
- Ingram - Unknown return time
- Zubac TBC
- Lauri TBC
- Ausar TBC
- Chet seems to have a knee issue TBC
- Ben Simmons season over
- Kristaps might retire
- Nurkic out to start the season
- ANTHONY EDWARDS - 2 months

All in 1 week feels crazyy

EDIT: As people are saying it's the same every year, here's what I found for 1 week in to last season:

- Vanvleet out for season
- Garland Toe issue - few months
- Edey - Ankle surgery, done for season
- Lebron, scacitia, 3 weeks
- Herro, ankle, a month
- Edwards, Fox, Jalen Green - 1 week hamstring injuries
- Keegan Murray - Thumb, a month
- Luka - 1 week leg strain
- Scoot, hamstring tear (preseason), 4 months
- Kessler, out for season (Technically was after the 1st week of the season but will include it)
- Paul George - surgery recovery, 2 weeks
- Coby White - Calf strain, 2 weeks
- Miller, shoulder, 2-3 weeks
- Trae, 1.5 months, and then Wizards shenanigans (technically was the 2nd week as well)

Last season was definitely still rough, but I think this season is way worse, particularly I think because of the length of the injuries to higher quality fantasy players

Player Discussion Day’Ron “Butterknife” Sharpe

59 Upvotes

Sharpe looked like a solid breakout candidate coming into the season, with a clear path to starting minutes and strong per-minute rebounding and defensive production.

His minutes through four games are concerning:

Oct 21: 30 minutes
Oct 24: 23 minutes (ejected)
Oct 25: 16 minutes (blowout)
Oct 27: 17 minutes (OT loss)

The ejection and blowout are understandable, but 17 minutes in a competitive OT game is harder to explain.

Moritz Wagner played 22 minutes against Boston, putting up 15 points while Sharpe finished with 4 points and 6 boards. Sharpe had four fouls, but Wagner increasingly looks like legitimate competition for minutes.

At 27–30 MPG, Sharpe has plenty of fantasy appeal, particularly in points leagues. At 18–22, he’s probably waiver fodder in standard leagues.

Is this early-season rotation tinkering, a matchup issue, or the beginning of a genuine timeshare? What’s everyone expecting for his minutes and role ROS?

Can someone fill me in on wtf is going on to start the season? I drafted him in the fourth round at his ADP after hearing he’d be one of the best centers in the league but he’s getting 20 minutes a game and killing me here so far. Am I missing something with this guy? (Never paid much attention to him or Portland before)

Discussion Complaining Works (Yahoo)

Looks like they heard us. The stats page on the phone version fits on the screen now instead of that stupid scrolling. What’s still annoying is that before, when we clicked on a player, we could swipe left and right to move to the next one, but now we can’t.

I’m not sure what’s going on in the Yahoo UI design team, but they really didn’t have to change anything. I remember last year when initially, they put starting your players for the week behind a paywall lmao.

Micah Nori: “Like I told them, you're going to get yourself to your 28 to 30, 32 minutes. It might not be the 36. And I don't think that those three guys, when I say those three - Jrue, Ja, and Dame - they may get those every once in a while, but I don't think consistently that it'd be fair to them to play them that much.”

Will TSJ be getting more of a minutes increase than Ayo as a result of Ant’s absense? He’s been doing pretty well on low 20’s minutes per game, but it’s hard to tell who’s going to be the guy to step up on the Twolves. Only 6% rostered in ESPN leagues

Do we think this is going to be an ongoing issue for the rest of the season? I thought he would be fully healthy, given he had 18 months to recover.

Discussion Yahoo IL- Out Designation

178 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?
