INSIGHT

Jordan Walsh's Hot Streak Is Likely Unsustainable

  • Jordan Walsh's hot shooting is an outlier driven by tiny usage and unsustainably high percentages.
  • Josh Lloyd warns the surge likely regresses and may not justify rostering in shallow formats.
ADVICE

Avoid Reflexive Adds For Gafford

  • If Derek Lively stays out, don't reflexively grab Daniel Gafford without context; Gafford has been a frequent disappointment.
  • Prefer Najee Marshall as a short-term add when Lively is out, per Josh Lloyd's roster guidance.
ADVICE

Cut Low-Upside Players After Clear Declines

  • Consider dropping low-upside players like Anthony Simons after poor shooting nights.
