Week 1 Injuries: Timelines, Pickups and Tears

Well, those best-laid plans were fun. This weekend was BRUTAL for injuries. I’m sad and horrified. Sad because guys like Paolo Banchero looked really good. Horrified because I accidentally looked at Jalen Williams’ ankle when it was pointing the wrong way. Please, if you’re squeamish do NOT watch that replay. If a trainer puts a […]

Rotation Notes: Jayson Tatum Edition

by: kelder

If you haven’t heard, Jayson Tatum is actually going to play. That’s cool. It’s always good news when a superstar is playing. You should get him since his upside is a top five player. I wouldn’t expect back to backs at all, and I would expect a minutes limit, probably 20 minutes. That gives him […]

by: kelder

Dan Titus and I put together this league. Titus gave me a legitimate name to float, and we got a lot of sharp analysts (and then myself) into the annual Y! Friends and Family League. (I am old and am currently trying to figure out how to make it viewable. It should be at https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/League/friendsandfamily2025) […]

by: kelder

Oh my gosh. When I went to Jay, our fearless leader, and had the idea to discuss rotations, I didn’t know there would be a 35% increase in injuries from last year, which seemed high anyway. There’s a new one every night and everyone has theories why. I am not nearly smart enough for a theory […]

Buy/Sell: The Other Joker Level

by: Kostas

With 12 games played for most NBA teams and 1/10 of the season already behind us, we can make some initial observation about this fantasy season. One easy one is that Nikola Jokic is playing on another fantasy level this season and is comfortably and by a margin ranked first in value. And how could […]

Rotation Notes: The Soft Tissue Injury Cometh!

by: kelder

SHere’s a math problem for you. Increased Pace + shortened training camp= more strains and sprains and tears. This is the under discussed part of the pace and space era of the NBA. Aside from teams shooting 3 pointers at an elevated rate (even if they don’t have 3 point shooters), the new metrics say […]

by: Kostas

Sometimes there are signs that things in the world are not going as they are supposed to go. Like the equilibrium of the cosmic powers is at an imbalance. Older civilizations relied on omens to determine this, such as the flight of the birds or natural disasters. In our modern era, we have more advanced […]

Band-Aid Report

March 14, 2024 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |

by: kelder

Working in a school, I’ve noticed that the younger you are, the more value a band-aid has. I have no idea why. A Band-Aid is good for just a little cut. (I also don’t know if you are supposed to capitalize band-Aid so I will continue to be inconsistent with that) But give a small […]

Welcome back to the third post of this mini-series as we take a moving snapshot in time, even if that sounds like an oxymoron. But basically, we’re taking this point in the season to take a look at the NBA landscape through the meta-fantasy lens. Sounds like it’s from the future, with robot dragons wearing […]
