Who do I drop to add fears: Beal, Jarace Walker, Westbrook, Gillespie
12T 9Cat punting FG%
Should we pick up McConnell since he’s coming back soon?
THANKS Josh _ I would walk 500 miles for the Locked in Fantasy Podcast . Let's get to it.
I dropped Kevin Porter Jr in 10 team points league. Needed the IR spot. Do you anticipate when he comes back that he does enough to be rosterable with the way Rollins is filling the PG spot?
GEAUX! GEAUX! GEAUX! GEAUX! Support this show!
Dynasty points – Collin Murray-Boyles or Isaiah Joe ?
2:43 Fears is currently shooting over 48pct from the field. If you want to throw out the outlier of that horrid 1-11 shooting night he has been even more impressive.
I dropped Tre Johnson for Fears.
dropping levert for quenton jackson feasable? i need a decent PG/SG as I had irving and dame both IR/out for whole season lol , im stuck with coby white(been out), thompson and suggs
Looking skinny, Josh!
Currently have Trae, Garland, Coby White, Kyrie and KPJ all injured on my fantasy team 😅😂
Should I pick up Naz Reid for Tre Jones?
Is Josh Hart a drop in 12 team ESPN points?
Sorry what did you plan on saying about Josh minott on the last slide 😅😂
I actually like quenton Jackson. Looks better than Nembhard imo.
you skipped Josh Minott
Lol I understand why he doesn't go as Dick Johnson 😂
thoughts on isaiah joe? i'm thinkkng of getting him since he's available in my league.
don't know who to drop tho since i have: divicenzo, rollins, castle, quickley, kyshawn george. i'm in a category league
Drop Jarace Walker, Coulibaly, or Wendell Carter for Camara 12t cat
Josh Minott update? I just dropped him on a points league and picked up Daniel Gafford
