Brad Leibfried's Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated. What makes a sleeper a sleeper, and when do they cross over the threshold from sleeper to overvalued. For me, the term sleeper just means a savvy draft pick who could be an excellent value where they are currently being drafted. In […]

Brad Leibfried's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

The best way to lose your fantasy basketball draft is to blow your early round picks on guys who don't perform like early round picks. The following players are going fairly early in drafts, but have no room for upside at their current draft price, with plenty of room for downside.  I'll be avoiding them […]

Trevor Crippen's Late-Round NBA Fliers (Premium Content)

You don't win your leagues in the first few rounds, but you certainly can lose them. Often times leagues are won by making solid, boring picks in the early rounds, then nailing some high upside breakout stars in the final few rounds.  Many a league winner who drafted C.J. McCollum at the tail end of […]

Trevor Crippen's NBA Dynasty Sleepers List (Premium Content)

Three Undervalued Guards for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

This league is chock full of guards that are able to contribute. Finding guards who are undervalued that you can target later in the draft while stocking up on the more talented big men in the beginning is always a sound strategy. While you don’t want to wait too long to get your starting guards, […]

Three Undervalued Forwards for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

Forward is normally a deep position in fantasy basketball. Many owners look for their forwards to be solid all around producers in the mold of Draymond Green or Kristaps Porzingis. When getting to the later rounds of the draft, forwards become more one dimensional contributors who only provide one or two category boosts such as […]

Three Undervalued Centers for Fantasy Basketball Drafts

With studs such as Karl-Anthony Towns, DeMarcus Cousins, and Al Horford at the top of the draft, centers are likely to go early in your fantasy draft. However, if you miss out on a stud or do not like the downside to players such as Andre Drummond or DeAndre Jordan, there are a few late […]

Rookie Centers to Target in Fantasy Basketball

Last year’s crop of rookie centers were so good they managed to breathe some new life into a "dying" position.

Players to Target When Punting Free Throw Percentage (FT%) in Drafts

Punting free throw percentage (FT%) usually isn’t a draft strategy done by choice, but it can be a viable strategy nonetheless.
