Week 1 of the NFL season has officially commenced, which means the NBA season is also just around the corner. Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler come with the heat in the second episode of a two-part series on the most overrated and underrated players based on ESPN's early 2021-2022 rankings.In part one of this series (2021-2022 ESPN Rankings: Who to Fade), Titus and Koffler identified a number of players to avoid based on ESPN's head-to-head, 9-category rankings. In this episode, we uncovered some incredible values based on those same rankings. No love for efficient big men such as Michael Porter Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis? Derrick White at 92 even without DeMar DeRozan in town? And with Pascal Siakam likely to miss the early part of the season, Titus and Koffler both think OG Anunoby could be in for a real breakout season. Listen in as the guys run through players they think are way too low on ESPN's draft board and share some insight on how they're using ESPN's early rankings to shape their respective top-150 rankings this season. Be sure to check out next week's episode when the guys reveal their initial top-150.And to take advantage of PrizePicks' $100 deposit match offer, click this link https://app.prizepicks.com/sign-up?invite_code=Action10&utm_source=Action+Network&utm_medium=Affiliates&utm_campaign=Action+Network Learn more about your ad choices.
