Fantasy Basketball Draft Busts: Forwards

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season.

Jarrett Allen (C, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 84 Overall CURRENT ADP: 101 ANALYSIS: Does drafting Jarrett Allen mean risky business for fantasy GMs? Sure.

Collin Sexton (PG/SG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 96 Overall CURRENT ADP: 121 ANALYSIS: After drafting a forward just a few weeks ago and not making any move involving the guard positions, Cleveland is locked into its SexLand backcourt.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 120 Overall CURRENT ADP: 137 ANALYSIS: The Kings seemed to be on the right path toward a postseason appearance last season... until they weren't any more getting a losing record inside Orlando's bubble.

A Year to Remember: Players with Career Years in 2020

The 2020 baseball season was a short one, but still a season where some players could jump onto the scene and give fantasy players something to look forward to in the coming years. Some will say 60 games are not enough for a "career season," but I beg to differ, and so do the four […]

Gus Edwards Leads The Way On Tuesday Night

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards ran for 101 yards off seven attempts during the Week 13 win over the Cowboys. Despite a low number of carries, the 23-year-old put forth a solid effort, thanks in part to a 36-yard run early in the second quarter and an impressive 14.4 YPC. While he still conceded […]
