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

250 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

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

170 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?

Player Discussion Some Buy-High Suggestions!

43 Upvotes

Always see the "Sell-high & Buy-lows," but nobody ever talks about buying good players who are just performing well. Here's my quick list of buys that you can buy high or, ideally, at a fair cost.

- Domantas Sabonis: Just looks so good already, doesn't he? Monster contributor across the board. His cost shouldn't be too crazy just yet, but he looks like a first/second rounder rest of the season.

- Tyrese Maxey: Everyone was harping on the potential decline in usage and counting stats, but clearly it isn't the case. He looks even better with more options around him and is still the dominating contributor he was last year.

- Tyrese Haliburton: Achilles recovery is a glorified sprained ankle now. He looks incredible. He's been a solid scorer, an assist monster with relatively low turnovers, and he's efficient!

- Jaden McDaniels: The clear #3 option on the Twolves. He's gonna be massively impactful this year and has shown it. Has to carry an offensive and defensive load. Averaging 15/6/3 with about 2 stocks per game. Solid piece to have on a winning multicategory fantasy team!

- Kel'el Ware: Superman! He's looked super dominant in these minutes-restricted performances. Getting into foul trouble too. Can only assume Jenkins expands his role, minutes, and his foul rate comes down a ton.

- Brandon Miller: They just paid him $200m, traded LaMelo, and are giving him the ULTIMATE GREEN LIGHT. The efficiency is a concern, but rest assured it will bounce back up. He's the clear #1 option and Averages 2.5 stocks (right now) too!

- Pascal Siakam: One of the more boring players according to this subreddit to own in fantasy. But he's just an immense all-around contributor for your team. 23/7/4 a night on respectable efficiency, and the Pacers may be without Zubac for an extended period.

- Walker Kessler: Luka has shown us that he can turn some of the worst big men into serious contributors, but Kessler is already elite and now getting Luka adds boosted efficiency and scoring opportunities at or near the rim. Add in his rebounding, shot-blocking, and the Lakers' lack of bigs around him. It's an easy buy.

- Keyonte George: Lauri and JJJ might be out for an extended period; the possibility for even more production is here. Keyonte has already looked awesome as a scorer and playmaker. He's been efficient but has had some issues with turnovers. If you can stomach the turnovers, he's a buy.

- Kevin Durant: Maybe the most consistent and efficient player to give you 24-30 points every night. He's looked good and has even been grabbing boards and getting some blocks. Easy buy.

Player Discussion Peyton Watson has 12 stocks in 3 games.

Had a sick game last with 7 stocks, 8 rebounds and 15 points. He's been at 30+ minutes in 3 games. Are we holding? He's literally the only athletic defensive wing on the Cav's roster. They kind of need him. Yeah, he'll have bad shooting nights, but nights like this is why I think you should hold.

Player Discussion Terrence Shannon Jr.

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

BACK UP TAR!! iykyk

What are we thinking about this absolute hound this season. Hes playing 31 mins the last 2 games and getting really decent value. Is he more than keepable aka more valuable than streamer spot?

For those who watch Le Rockets please give insight. We all know Tar is a dawg just wanna know this season outlook for him. If any single player in HOU goes down im definitely snagging but considering dropping him to open a roster slot as I currently don’t have any streaming spots in 10T ESPN points.

Let me know ur thoughts SIUPPPP
