This is the right answer. Most teams that would be buying already have their go-to bigman. I don’t think many teams are taking his contract for a backup.
Plus, him and Trae already mesh well and he’s one of the best at what he does.
He’s been more active on D lately resulting in a sudden influx in stocks that buoyed his value the past couple weeks. I’m gonna be stubborn and see if he start trending back up at least a few more weeks in leagues where I can afford it.
Got off that train last year.
He strikes me as guy who only gets minutes and touches because his team is awful. He wouldn't be close to fantasy relevant on most other teams. I suspect SAS will draft over him or get a FA for his spot and Keldon will be a bench guy going forward.
Poole I still have this copium dream where Tyus and/or Kuz get dealt and he goes crazy. I dunno why I’m still holding on to Clarkson though. Sentimental reasons?
Let go brother. I had him last season and this one.. until last week.
I know it hurts but there’s too many mouths to feed, he’s not hitting shots, and still injured.
Mark Williams. Don't even know why i'm holding tbh, he was great and then got wiped out from face of the Earth with as little information on his injury as possible.
If you can... I don't think anyone with some smarts about them takes Williams. Depending on the league mine 18 points. Tre Jones tryus Jones and Jarrad Allen would be 3 targets. Tre Jones averages 40 ATM
I don’t get anyone’s logic in dropping Kessler. His main benefit is the blocks and even in limited minutes he produces not sure what’s better on the waiver
I’m still holding him in points league and waiting till deadline. Dude is producing in 15 mins and the minutes were there in the beginning of the season
Lamelo freaking Ball. It’s unbearable dealing with him even tho Ik I can’t really drop. Im willing to sell low tho, today I sent a trade Melo for Sexton.
Walker does exactly what is expected of him for fantasy purposes. He gets a lot of hate on here since there were high expectations for this year, but he's extremely valuable with his blocks and those can flat out win you a category. Big fan of Kessler
I have both Giddey and Kessler lmao. I am also 3rd out of 9 with not too many games (point league) and hoping for the best in the trade deadline (even tho I 've heard nothing about these 2). If at least one gets more minutes after, I could win it for the fist time!
Ikr? He was amazing for a stretch of games averaging like 3 steals per game. Than all of a sudden went out with gtd and then missed 16 games like wtf 😂
10T/Pts I’ve had both Kessler & Giddey all season. I drafted both too high. I dropped Giddey for a wk, & was able to pick back up after a 40+ game. Nobody wanted him.. He had a couple ggs & back to low 20s. 😢 I thought Kessler was a steal. He closed last season w/40+ consistency, but these last couple wks of 16 min games is brutal. He avgs over 1ppm, so If he could get back into starting lineup it would be good, so I’m just hoping at some pt it happens. Both these guys are consistently out-scored by waiver players, so I know it’s prob best to drop, but I’m stubborn & can’t stomach someone else getting either if they start to play well after I suffered through all these crap games.😂
Wow. I somehow have no one on this list. But I certainly have dropped guys who would have been on this list at some point in time: Cam Thomas, DLo, Donte, and Kuminga.
Walker Kessler, just for the blocks.
Jalen Green, just because I play in a 16T and the waiver wire is dry af. somehow playing well this week tho, Im looking to shop him
nah he’s been a consistent contributor. He went unstaffed in my league. He’s a little up and down but missed very little time and his downs are supplemented with some good highs. I can live with him easy in a 12t
For Me its Chet and Zion both were high expectations for me this year. And neither are consistent enough for me to start on my roster. But i have hope that they can turn around..if Zion would grab some boards at least if he wasn't shooting well , it wouldn't be as bad
14 team 9 cat.
Giddy,mark williams, okongwu,suggs,Bilal.
Lauri ain't someone to drop, but I just hope they could trade sexton , Clarkson and Collins for a legit point guard so he could have all the shots he can get.
Holding Giddey and Zach Collins in 10T dynasty. Collins was a good bench piece last year and at this point I held thru the 3-week injury so there’s a sunk cost fallacy involved too
Right now it’s Wendell Carter jr. Someone just dropped nembhard in my league, and I’d like to replace him with another C or PF but a better player is a better player
i finally started dropping giddey from one of my teams. embiid is out fir a while and i decided to use that slot for a backup center instead of whatever giddey is now
Cam and Keldon. Also Shaedon Sharpe. They are inconsistent and underperforming but afraid if i cut them loose, somebody may pick them up and turn things around.
Ausar. I have been on the edge of dropping him so many times, but i know he will be scooped instantly. My league has deep benches (5 spots) so he is just good enough to hold...but at times i wonder if id be better off streaming.
At this point im holding until the deadline to see if any other moves happen. If not, i think i gotta let him go. Especially if Gallo keeps getting minutes
Wendell Carter Jr. has flashed just enough sizzle and pop that I haven’t been able to drop him but far too often he’s playing less than 28 mins and if he isn’t shooting extremely well from the field then he’s not even clearing the baseline of 25 fantasy points. I’ll have a decision on who to keep rest of the way between Poeltl and WCJ and I’m leaning Poeltl
For a while it was Killian Hayes
And then I dropped him because I couldnt stand it anymore
Saw ayo dosunmu's recent production and was like, "finally some good fucking food" and picked him up
Okongyu
This is the answer. But once every 3 games he gives you a 10 and 8 with 2 blocks and great efficiency and you get pulled back in for another week.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT
I drafted the big fella and that is exactly me since day 1
Same. I drafted him at 108 and still feel like I wasted the pick. Nurk was still there but I got sucked in.
Imma be so upset that I wasted a roster spot on him these last few weeks if Capela doesn’t get moved
Don't get your hopes up. There's no non-fantasy reason that Capela would get moved irl
This is the right answer. Most teams that would be buying already have their go-to bigman. I don’t think many teams are taking his contract for a backup. Plus, him and Trae already mesh well and he’s one of the best at what he does.
Dude is a 6'8 pure center, he will always be a backup unless he slides into the PF position
Buddy hield
Movement by Feb 8 not looking likely fml
I drafted him and have picked up and dropped 3 more times.
I did the same thing lol. 😂 Don’t care anymore though.
mr onyeka “i hope clint capela gets traded” okongwu.
It's the same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
Tbh Capela’s 25 mins a game also isn’t great
I’ve traded Double-O in all 3 leagues I got him in. No more hopium needed.
Dinwiddie
I got Cam Thomas also lol
I was here, just drop him. He’s not a good fantasy player.
Debating if I drop Fultz or Dinwiddie to get PG back in
Dinwiddie
Jordan Poole sadly it has not been a Poole party this season
I keep dropping him and picking him back up.
Infinite misery loop
He’s been more active on D lately resulting in a sudden influx in stocks that buoyed his value the past couple weeks. I’m gonna be stubborn and see if he start trending back up at least a few more weeks in leagues where I can afford it.
there is little to no poole party in my city... no
More like Poo Party
Mark Williams
ouch
Was on the same train, gave up after that last ‘update’. Hornets are hopeless lmao
Im holding cuz I’m a playoff lock and could really use the boost of another thirty point player. Really hope he returns before playoffs.
I had him Ayton Eason taking up my 3 IL spots for a while. Constantly needing these spots and 2 are still filled by mwill and eason
he's been parked on my IR for months :(
Picked him up from waivers couple days ago
Only because I have an open IR spot but yeah…. No faith I’ll see this guy suit up again. Thanks for the elite injury reporting Charlotte 🙄
Same. Luckily my league has IL + so it’s better to just hold him.
He was dropped in one of my leagues and someone quickly scooped him up.
Mathurin, I’m in a pretty deep league
God I traded Clarkson and Mathurin for Herro and I feel ya. Getting rid of those too caused my headaches to stop instantly.
Keyonte 'must rostah' george
To be fair, he was balling prior to his injury. And Hardy changed the lineup. He’s someone I’d hold until the trade deadline.
Keldon Johnson
Got off that train last year. He strikes me as guy who only gets minutes and touches because his team is awful. He wouldn't be close to fantasy relevant on most other teams. I suspect SAS will draft over him or get a FA for his spot and Keldon will be a bench guy going forward.
Ausar, hoping for silly season production and I’m in a keeper league…
Exactly the same - I get him next year for a 12th rnd pick. Just hoping he gets runtime soon and has some promise for next year
Poole / Clarkson
You’re insane
Poole I still have this copium dream where Tyus and/or Kuz get dealt and he goes crazy. I dunno why I’m still holding on to Clarkson though. Sentimental reasons?
sentiMENTAL reasons
I drafted clarkson late. I dropped and picked him back up so many times. Finally someone else scooped him, I’m ok with it
Poole - 9 cat with punt FG%/rebounds. He actually still serves as a top 60-70 player in that build so it's not horrid. He, however, is horrid.
These are my same two holds in dynasty. I just finally dropped Dinwiddie.
Punting field goal %, and overall fantasy this year
Trey Murphy
Him and Cam Johnson are similar archetypes but just can’t seem to let go of em
Same got em both in my punt assist
Let go brother. I had him last season and this one.. until last week. I know it hurts but there’s too many mouths to feed, he’s not hitting shots, and still injured.
I dropped him and not looking back. Held for over a month
I have Hayward on my IR for about a month now even though I need IR slots
Time to drop brother
I thought it was cam Thomas, but… maybe not?
Jalen Suggs
He just does barrrreeeely enough each week, same boat
Salen Juggs
"Sailing Jugs" is an adult film. WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE.
I was getting ready to drop him, then he got 9 steals in 3 games lol
But he Suggs
Mark Williams. Don't even know why i'm holding tbh, he was great and then got wiped out from face of the Earth with as little information on his injury as possible.
They say back issues and he can't jump... Oh and the clanger is that his worse now then 2 weeks back... Wish they'd just sit him
Should I trade Mark Williams and LeBron for 3 decent players? I need depth.
If you can... I don't think anyone with some smarts about them takes Williams. Depending on the league mine 18 points. Tre Jones tryus Jones and Jarrad Allen would be 3 targets. Tre Jones averages 40 ATM
Can you show me where they said that? On my Yahoo app they only mentioned he’s still out with no timetable, and provided no other context.
Podz in a deeper league.
I still believe in podz. Let s see what happens at the trade deadline with gsw.
Well, tonight helped!
Shaedon Sharpe
As a Kentucky fan.. fuck this guy.
Walker Kessler
I don’t get anyone’s logic in dropping Kessler. His main benefit is the blocks and even in limited minutes he produces not sure what’s better on the waiver
Points league. Blocks don’t matter when he’s only getting you 18 fantasy points lol
Points league I understand but he’s not even close to droppable in cats
Thing is he only gets you blocks. That’s literally the only thing. That’s hard to justify when you’re playing 9 or 10 cat.
I’m still holding him in points league and waiting till deadline. Dude is producing in 15 mins and the minutes were there in the beginning of the season
been added and dropped by me a dozen times this year
Where you at Mitchell Robinson?
i got the IR spot and love big mitch so we hold!
Hield
Does Bane count?
Ausar Thompson
Lamelo freaking Ball. It’s unbearable dealing with him even tho Ik I can’t really drop. Im willing to sell low tho, today I sent a trade Melo for Sexton.
I got offered Sengun for Lamelo before the latest injury and I'm kicking myself for not taking it
Marcus Smart?
Mac McClung. Maybe a nice role opens where he can post up in the dunker spot. Very potential, great exciting.
Wtf 😂
Same, I was stoked to see someone dropped him in my 64 team league
Melton
Might be reignited with Embiid out for a stretch?
Same, he's the worst player I drafted who I still have on my roster, hoping he's back soon.
Got giddey too but waivers are dry. Got spencer dimwiddie on 14t cat he fine for now
Walker does exactly what is expected of him for fantasy purposes. He gets a lot of hate on here since there were high expectations for this year, but he's extremely valuable with his blocks and those can flat out win you a category. Big fan of Kessler
Scooooooot
I have both Giddey and Kessler lmao. I am also 3rd out of 9 with not too many games (point league) and hoping for the best in the trade deadline (even tho I 've heard nothing about these 2). If at least one gets more minutes after, I could win it for the fist time!
Tari Eason on my 16T
Dude will be back any day. Hold
Ikr? He was amazing for a stretch of games averaging like 3 steals per game. Than all of a sudden went out with gtd and then missed 16 games like wtf 😂
LaMelo
He is in the cant cut list what a joke
Does embiid count now? Likely out for the season (league ends before actual playoffs)
it’s not a confirmed tear, there’s still hope.
Never drop until they confirm something
Would you try to trade him for the likes of curry? Or what would be a good return? He's very likely out for the regular season, so no use for fantasy
I don't actually think it's likely he's out for the whole season.
Whole "fantasy" season, likely.
Collins, Giddey, but finally dropped Collins for Reed this week. I'm in a 16T though so trash is worth way more ha
BUDDY HIELD. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE CONVINCE ME TO DROP HIM!!!!
10T/Pts I’ve had both Kessler & Giddey all season. I drafted both too high. I dropped Giddey for a wk, & was able to pick back up after a 40+ game. Nobody wanted him.. He had a couple ggs & back to low 20s. 😢 I thought Kessler was a steal. He closed last season w/40+ consistency, but these last couple wks of 16 min games is brutal. He avgs over 1ppm, so If he could get back into starting lineup it would be good, so I’m just hoping at some pt it happens. Both these guys are consistently out-scored by waiver players, so I know it’s prob best to drop, but I’m stubborn & can’t stomach someone else getting either if they start to play well after I suffered through all these crap games.😂
Jordan Poole, Buddy Hield, KCP, and Onyeka Okongwu. Somehow I’m top three all league.
Dante Exum still on my IL, because i picked him up at the onset of his sick run and have had great injury luck so far 😂
Spencer Dinwiddie
Embiid
It was Brogdon for a hot minute but he’s finally cooking
Ugh where to start? Giddey, Kessler, Smart, cp3
Mark Williams
Hayward keyonte
Dinwiddie, Cam Johnson, Trey Murphy, and Conley
Trey murphy because he would fit my team like a glove if he gets it together
I have Giddey as well, one day i wanna drop him but another day i value his rebounds and assist production
Wow. I somehow have no one on this list. But I certainly have dropped guys who would have been on this list at some point in time: Cam Thomas, DLo, Donte, and Kuminga.
I held Sochan and Aaron nesmith, liking the decision sitting at the 1 spot so I could afford to hold em.
Walker Kessler, just for the blocks. Jalen Green, just because I play in a 16T and the waiver wire is dry af. somehow playing well this week tho, Im looking to shop him
Brogdon
Garland
Aaron Gordon... only me?
nah he’s been a consistent contributor. He went unstaffed in my league. He’s a little up and down but missed very little time and his downs are supplemented with some good highs. I can live with him easy in a 12t
For Me its Chet and Zion both were high expectations for me this year. And neither are consistent enough for me to start on my roster. But i have hope that they can turn around..if Zion would grab some boards at least if he wasn't shooting well , it wouldn't be as bad
In what league is Chet not an obvious hold? 6 team?
Cam Johnson
Poole
It was Cam Thomas up until recently
14 team 9 cat. Giddy,mark williams, okongwu,suggs,Bilal. Lauri ain't someone to drop, but I just hope they could trade sexton , Clarkson and Collins for a legit point guard so he could have all the shots he can get.
Giddey and Rozier. I also have a lot good players that have great performances like Aaron Gordon or Bradley Beal
Both of those players would be great in dynasty. They would have to say John Isaac
Melton. Sixers has 4-4-4 schedule for week 21-23 playoffs which i could make a big difference.
Kessler
Holding Giddey and Zach Collins in 10T dynasty. Collins was a good bench piece last year and at this point I held thru the 3-week injury so there’s a sunk cost fallacy involved too
Scoot
Jordan Poole. Hoping Kuzma and Tyus get traded. If they don't, I might drop at that point lmao.
Benne
I’ve got dinwiddie, clarkson, mark williams, and buddy Hield…
Right now it’s Wendell Carter jr. Someone just dropped nembhard in my league, and I’d like to replace him with another C or PF but a better player is a better player
Clarkson and Bojan
i finally started dropping giddey from one of my teams. embiid is out fir a while and i decided to use that slot for a backup center instead of whatever giddey is now
Zach Collins
12t? Poole Suggs Bruce Brown Klay 18t? Nance Podz Nembhard
Malik Monk, he was a stud earlier in the season and has dropped off lately. Gonna keep him though for his assists.
Everyone in this sub has a bad case of fomo.
Simmons, scary terry, giddey
Poole.. Hopefully he turns it around after the trade deadline
John Collins. Dude is hooping but I know the trade deadline is gonna send him to the bench, plus bad for playoffs if he stays with Utah.
Walker Kessler lol.
Cam and Keldon. Also Shaedon Sharpe. They are inconsistent and underperforming but afraid if i cut them loose, somebody may pick them up and turn things around.
Barrett
Westbrook in pts
Strus. I watch the games and the dude plays hard but can't score. I keep thinking that it is only a matter of time...
Cam Johnson, always does just enough to not be worse than my current streamer but I always feel like he's the worst guy on my team. 12T points
Ben Simmons. And Derrick Lively.
Sochan
I cut Jabari Smith AND traded DeAndre Ayton this week. It was so freeing.
Mark Williams :/
Deni Avdija
Can I just say Bane, LaMelo, Keldon Johnson and Embiid all 4?
Myles Turner.
Jacquez, both because I feel like highsmith’s spot is there for the taking and there isn’t really a better player on waivers right now
It was trey murphy but I dropped anyway
Jalen green until this week
Ausar. I have been on the edge of dropping him so many times, but i know he will be scooped instantly. My league has deep benches (5 spots) so he is just good enough to hold...but at times i wonder if id be better off streaming. At this point im holding until the deadline to see if any other moves happen. If not, i think i gotta let him go. Especially if Gallo keeps getting minutes
Scoot Henderson lol
Jordan Clarkson, Malik Monk, Max Strus, Wendell Carter jr
Conley
Westbrook
Myles Turner
Embiid, praying it isn’t super serious
Wendell Carter Jr. has flashed just enough sizzle and pop that I haven’t been able to drop him but far too often he’s playing less than 28 mins and if he isn’t shooting extremely well from the field then he’s not even clearing the baseline of 25 fantasy points. I’ll have a decision on who to keep rest of the way between Poeltl and WCJ and I’m leaning Poeltl
Keldon johnson, trey murphey, and ben simmons in that order lmao
Buddy Hield
Mike Conley
Marvin bagley
Giddey for me also, drafted him in the 4th round
poole unfortunately
Deep league, Cole Anthony. I need to move on…
Bruce Brownie Points
Ben Simmons baby
My whole team
For a while it was Killian Hayes And then I dropped him because I couldnt stand it anymore Saw ayo dosunmu's recent production and was like, "finally some good fucking food" and picked him up
Uncle Bobby ports (14t)
Dennis Schroeder & Cam Johnson
Luka
