One list. My list. 80 players I like in fantasy, or end up gravitating to in drafts. An expanded "My Guys" list and why I like 'em - Studs, Sleepers, Breakouts, Value, Solid Picks, Second Half Unlocks - the works. It's not a rankings list. It's a conviction or preference list. This isn't Gospel, but it's how I am playing the game of 9-cat this season. We will review the hits and misses after the dust settles. For now, this is what I'm going on. Link below 👇

Fantasy hoopers: we heard your feedback and updated IL eligibility. Players tagged “Out” will keep that designation until nightly transactions run, even if their status changes postgame. Players out 3+ games or ruled “Out For Season” stay IL-eligible until they return. Changes go live tonight. More info below

If @YahooFantasy cannot address their snafu with the IL roster slot, perhaps it’s time to find a new platform. It’s just not a good game with the changes they made.

With Kawhi out, I’m liking Ja’Kobe Walter some points, 3s, and steals
Ja'Kobe Walter been hooping. Going to hold it down very while while Kawhi gets treatment on his knee. 13.0 PPG 61.9 TS% 40.0 3P% - 6.7 3PA/g 3.7 REB 2.7 AST 3.0 STL + BLK 6'10 winspan, 3Pr + STL% demon

Terrible development for Anthony Edwards. I know it feels like I say this every season, but this has got to be the worst, at least in the first two weeks, when it comes to injuries.
Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee and miss up to two months, sources tell ESPN.

On the bright side, Lauri Markkanen avoided a major injury and is day-to-day 😮‍💨

I faded him this season. I’m glad I did. But man, I wasn’t projecting THIS. He should recover some value though.

Devastating news. Mo Bamba is an add, so is Brice Sensabaugh
Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. has sustained a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Jackson will not require surgery.

Let’s do a “Should I be worried?” Q&A. Reply with a player’s name and I will tell you if you should be worried or not, and if so, how worried.
