ADVICE

Don't Chase One-Game Hot Streaks

  • Avoid chasing short-term hot games when adding players after one big outing.
  • Prioritize sustainable minutes and role over one-game spikes when using the waiver wire.
INSIGHT

Minutes And Usage Matter Most

  • Minutes and consistent usage drive fantasy value more than raw box-score flashes.
  • Josh Lloyd stresses a player needs 30+ minutes and reliable usage to be fantasy-valuable long term.
ADVICE

Wait For Role Stability Before Adding

  • Don't overreact to single-game performances from deep bench players like Yves Missi or Jock Landale.
  • Only add when the role looks sustainable across multiple games, not just one start.
