Fantasy Benchwarmers

Disclaimer here is that this is not really a "planned" faceoff. But when we brought up James Harden as a topic, commish said it seems like Harden's trade market value is still high as one manager brought up a potential Harden for Tyrese Haliburton + 1 trade. This made us wonder whether Harden is still amongst the top fantasy players out there or has a player like Haliburton moved ahead of Harden a...

Happy New Year! Hope 2023 will be good to us and our family! We are back for some fantasy discussions and we kick things off by just looking back at some injury news we've missed including Zion Williamson, Kelly Oubre, Bradley Beal and some recent ones like Devin Vassell. Just a warm up episode as we approach the final push for the fantasy playoff season! We also looked into the luxury stash marke...

Probably the last episode for 2022 (which has been great!) as we take a short break and enjoy the company of family in the next few days. We talk Luka's magical night that got everyone crazy and happy, especially Luka owners! The guy is special...both from the real life and fantasy basketball perspective. Unfortunately for me, I did not have any Luka stocks so good luck to my teams going against t...

What a first day of week 11! Commish Eric wanted to vent out some frustration on Terry Rozier who has been a major disappointment so far this season. We try and figure whether he is still a "buy low" candidate or just a player we should hope is not on our team. The same can probably be said about Rudy Gobert, who is slowly being outplayed by his backup Naz Reid. Can he still turn it around? Plus,...

It's that time of the year again when we just need to release some frustration! It's the ranting episode - who are some of the players in your teams that are fantasy studs but just very annoying to own? We had a few and we just wanted to get that release to make us feel a little better. Catch us in any of these podcast platforms!

We take a look at 3 forwards who have joined our worry list - Scottie Barnes, PJ Washington, and Bol Bol. These three came from different draft position (Bol being most likely just a pick-up), and we dissect their game to see if they are "buy low" options ore is this their peak. We also look into three "replacement" centers who have been ballin' without their top stars - Naz Reid, Mo Wagner and so...

There you have it, the Anthony Davis injury everyone's been waiting/anticipating for. Reports say he will be out "at least" a month, which in NBA terms these days is roughly about 6 weeks. What's worrying is that there has not been any official diagnosis yet, so this could be worse. Hopefully not though. With all these talks about potentially being unseated as the top fantasy player, well, Nikola...

Walker Kessler and Jalen Duren has emerged in recent weeks and have shown what they can contribute to your fantasy teams - the potential is gooood! We take a look at who is the better fantasy stud between the two rookie big men. We also discussed some Anthony Davis, Gordon Hayward, Robert Williams III and bunch more!

Apologies for missing out on uploads for the past few days. But we're back! And we'll slowly get back to regular programming in the coming days.  In today's quickie, we catchup on some injuries (the biggest one being Steph Curry) and returnees including Gordon Hayward and Robert Williams III. We then discuss some players who may either be on the edge of that drop zone or is just a clear drop...

We face off two PF/C who caught the eye of fantasy managers in the second round of the drafts and probably at one point got torn on who to pick - Domantas Sabonis and Pascal Siakam. We also discussed Commish Eric's dreams about De'Anthony Melton's career game, Anthony Davis vs. Joel Embiid, Chris Paul, Jalen Duren and more waiver wire options. Catch us in any of these podcast platforms! Apple Podc...

With Zion Williamson playing his best basketball of the season, is he now a sell high candidate? Or can he sustain this nice run? We also got some not so good news about Desmond Bane, while on the flip side, Robert Williams III looks on track to return this month. Commish Eric shares his take on what the expectations should be on Time Lord. Can he still give us top 20 fantasy value this season? Ca...

We dive down into our worry list to look at Fred Vanvleet, Alperen Sengun, Bol Bol. Plus we discuss Andrew Nembhard's career night against Steph Curry - is he a hold even with Tyrese Haliburton? Finally our faceoff: Kyle Lowry vs. Spencer Dinwiddie. Catch us in any of these podcast platforms!

Anthony Davis threw out another monster line and has become the number 1 ranked fantasy basketball player to date. What now? Should we sell him while healthy or should we keep him and just enjoy the ride? Catch us in any of these podcast platforms!

Jimmy Butler returned to action the other day and gave us another taste of the Jimmy Buckets experience when he is on the court - fantasy elite production. However, how much do we really trust Butler's availability throughout the season? This makes us wonder what is Butler's trade value at this point? What are we willing to get in case we are pondering trading Butler. FBW Faceoff features Andrew W...

There's a new sheriff in town! Jayson Tatum has emerged as one of the best fantasy basketball players in the NBA and his numbers this season have been really good! We can't help but compare him to another perennial stud Kevin Durant, who is still putting up solid 9-cat lines at age 34! So in this episode we face them off to determine who is the preferred rest of the season option. Plus, Robert Wil...

In true superstar fashion, Steph Curry and Luka Doncic put on a show against each other during their matchup this morning. Both have also been 2 of the better fantasy players that have been drafted in the first round. Commish and I debate (a little) on who between the two would we have picked first given the chance to re-draft today. We also discuss the Orlando Magic's (or Curse) returning guards...

A longer than usual episode as we make up for a missed quickie, so bear with us! We discuss the Karl Anthony-Towns injury, the Kemba Walker return, some appreciation for Devin Booker and Tyrese Haliburton and our FBW Faceoff - Bradley Beal vs. Jaylen Brown.

Lebron James is back! And more importantly he did play back-to-back games which is really encouraging from the availability standpoint. He also played really well to the delight of his fantasy owners including me. So as the Los Angeles Lakers climb their way back into playoff contention, is now the best time to sell The King? Many are concerned about the benching of Aleksej Pokusevski, so we discu...

Anthony Davis is currently providing top 5 value in fantasy basketball, but just like any other season in fantasy basketball, many do not trust AD keeping this up for the whole season as he has been an annual injury threat. So is this the perfect time to sell him? Or should we ride it out? We also had Keegan Murray and Jalen Smith as our hot topic for Drop or Hold while Keldon Johnson enters our w...
