Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Gunners

There's an old cliche, "Offense wins games, defense wins championships." While that may ring true in the NBA, in fantasy basketball, owning a player who can score the ball at a high level can aid you in a number of ways. Gunners typically has a negative connotation, referring to someone who shoots without consequence. For the purpose […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 20

The trade deadline has passed, the All-Star break is over. Now comes the sprint. Just a little over 20 games remains in the NBA, which means the frenzy will pick up in fantasy basketball circles. Don't hesitate. Don't react. It's important to gain an edge. Fantasy owners should get very active on the waiver wire […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Givers

As "iso-ball" disappears from the NBA and the unselfish style of basketball that Golden State perfected begins to permeate throughout the league, why hasn't there been an uptick in team assists per game? To that affect, how does that trickle down to fantasy basketball owner's decision making process when it comes to satisfying that category. Golden […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 19

A little over 20 games remain in the NBA, once the league resumes from the All-Star break. More than likely you like (or hate) your fantasy basketball team and are searching the waiver wire for one of two things: either someone who comes on late from out of nowhere, or a gang of players to stream based […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Future

When the NBA resumes after the all-star break, the entire league will go from pause to a full sprint. While some teams jockey for playoff position, others will already begin planning for the offseason. It is here where fantasy basketball's future and present collide. Every year--like clockwork--NBA executives on losing teams make the decision to […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 18

A lot will change after the NBA All-Star break. Young players will get more run, older players will take more rest days and certain players will come out of nowhere to win fantasy basketball championships. If your fantasy team is sitting comfortably near the top, it might be worth using a roster spot on a […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Shooters

Like salt to a chef, the three-ball and basketball are linked. As the NBA changes, so does fantasy basketball. Basketball's love affair with analytics and three-point shot has dramatically changed the way the game is played. It has also changed the way we view fantasy basketball's shooters. As the long distance shooting grows so does the influx […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 17

By the time you read this, your favorite fantasy basketball player may be suiting up for another team. The trade deadline is here in the NBA and while stars are moved and other players roles are massaged, there will be other--younger--players whose responsibilities increase. Whether it's the front office wanting to see what kind of […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Sleepers

Every year fantasy basketball players scour the year-by-year stats, analytics, personal relationships, all for the hopes of finding some sort of tidbit that will help pinpoint a possible sleeper. There's a commons saying in fantasy circles, you can't win your league in the draft, but you can lose it. One could go much further and […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 16

The first big move ahead of the trade deadline rocked the NBA on Monday, when Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons. Luckily for fantasy basketball owners, it shouldn't do much to the primary names involved. Griffin will still be the main option in Detroit, and Tobias Harris should continue to get the looks he became […]

Fantasy Basketball Three-Man Weave: The Minutemen

While a player's minutes can substantially affect an individual's fantasy basketball value, it can also lead to a variety of negative outcomes as the season progresses. When DeMarcus Cousins fell to the New Orleans Pelicans home floor with just under 10 seconds left to play, what should have been a celebrated win over Houston was […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 15

The trade deadline is fast approaching and new names are popping up in trade rumors daily. There will be people dealt and fantasy teams shaken. If someone you own is traded, make sure you do your due diligence before making any rash decisions. While that seems like pretty basic advice, people panicking in fantasy sports […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Board Men

With more emphasis put on small ball and three point shooting, those players who have the uncanny ability to round up shots caroming off the basket from every which angle are a prized fantasy basketball commodity. Those relentless scavengers able to average double-digits in rebounding are few, and to find one can give you a unique advantage in […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 14

The NBA has reached its midway point for the season, and soon teams will have to decide how they will proceed. Will rebuilding teams turn to their younger players and bench veteran starters to not only evaluate their talent but also improve their lottery odds? Will those same teams look to trade assets for more draft […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Midseason Awards

While the All-Star game is still a few weeks away, every team in the NBA has reached the midway point of its season at 41 games. We're officially in the home stretch of the 2017-18 season. With that in mind, we dive into the numbers to announce the Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, and […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 13

Injuries to stars have allowed lesser used players to make major dividends in fantasy basketball. Heading into Week 13, you can still find major help on the wire in the starting five, the bench, as well as injury replacements. As a reminder, for standard (10-12 team) league adds, we use a general rule of thumb of […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Alphas

In a game when there is only one ball and 10 players, the most coveted player in fantasy basketball is the player who wants the ball the most. Sometimes this can be a really bad thing (See: Bryant, Kobe - 2015-16), most of the time these players consistently are found at the top of fantasy […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Teams

What happens when a player gets injured in fantasy basketball? Or when a player doesn't perform up to expectations? Such is life in the NBA. What do you do? Find "The Teams." Fantasy basketball drafts rarely surprise. Rankings and average draft positions coalesce and outside of the occasional rookie who goes too high or the […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's The Replacements

Injuries are a part of sports the same way excess showers down on Hollywood. In the NBA, 82 games over five months, back-to-backs and players flying through the air with reckless abandoned will lead to its fair share of sidelined stars. When those guys go down--for however how long it may be--lesser known players can […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 16

Only a few (thousand) are still playing fantasy football in earnest this week, and for that congratulations are in order. Now that you're done patting yourself on the back, there are a few things to remember. 1) This is the last week (unless you are in some psychopath league that plays in week 17 when […]

Futures Market - Dynasty League Quarterbacks

This year was extraordinarily brutal for quarterbacks in the NFL. Andrew Luck never played a snap. Ryan Tannehill was lost in the preseason. Sam Bradford was gone after Week 1. Almost every week, it seemed like a starting quarterback with significant fantasy value was lost. Aaron Rodgers, Carson Palmer, Deshaun Watson all were put on […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Illusionists

Do you remember Jerome James? James was a 7-1, center who averaged 4.9 points and 3.5 rebounds a game. Yet, in the first round of the 2005 NBA playoffs, James was able to turn a 17.2 points and 9.4 rebounds average into a 5-year, $30 million contract.

Futures Market - Dynasty League Wide Receivers

Last week, we looked at running backs in dynasty leagues. This time around, we try and decipher the wide receiver position. Unlike those in the backfield, those on the outside can rise and fade quickly like the tides. Two years ago, Randall Cobb had a third-round ADP and was a keeper for many fantasy owners. This […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball Dumpster Divers

Unlike fantasy football, where there's more potential value found with high scoring teams, in fantasy basketball you can find value anywhere...even in the dump. When you started your fantasy football draft you were probably forced to make some decision on whether or not you wanted to draft a Cleveland Brown. It's probably an internal discussion […]

Futures Market - Dynasty League Running Backs

While many make preparations for the fantasy football playoffs, there is a much more complicated process going on in the minds of many fantasy players--who to designate as keepers in dynasty leagues. Some will attempt to formulate some sort of algorithm including age, stats, family medical history and diet while cross-referencing their Madden ratings. Others will […]

NBA Three-Man Weave: The Yeoman

In the NBA's Super Team era, elite players with no superstar running mate do not get a free pass. In fact, these talented athletes are members of a unique squad. Not only do they have to shoulder the statistical load, but also press to keep their respective teams competitive. They are the Yeoman. These are their […]
