ADVICE

Short-Term Play On Jeremiah Favors

  • Grab Jeremiah Favors as a short-term waiver pickup while he starts and logs ~30 minutes.
  • Avoid relying on him long-term due to poor shooting and crowded Pelicans usage.
INSIGHT

Hot Streaks From Opportunity Fade

  • Quentin Jackson's hot stretch is driven by opportunity, not sustainable skill elevation.
  • Expect returning veterans to push him back into a bench role once healthy.
ADVICE

Don't Sacrifice Long-Term Assets For Fliers

  • Use Quentin Jackson only as a short-term flier or streamer, not a permanent upgrade.
  • Don’t drop established category assets for a player without a clear long-term pathway.
