BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues
ANALYSIS: When I wrote about rookie Saddiq Bey last week I thought that would most probably be the last time I was going to be able to do so, at least when it comes to highlighting WW-targets available in more than half of Yahoo leagues. Turns out, fantasy GMs are a little bit slow these days. Bey is still rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues, which makes no sense at all if you ask me.
Since he grabbed the starting position for the Pistons, Bey hasn't known a way to stop thriving. It's been six starts in a row for the rook going back to Feb. 14, and even in the game before that one, he already logged 27 minutes of playing time. In the six starts he's had in the Feb. 14-to-24 span, Bey has put up an average 13-5-2 line with 1+ SPG in 33+ MPG. Remember, Saddiq Bey is a rookie playing for the putrid Detroit Pistons.
Bey has already snatched a Player of the Week award, which is no joke either and speaks volumes of the rook's production. He's scored 10+ points in all of his last nine games, he's hitting almost 3 three-pointers per game this month, and he's been shooting the lights out at 55 percent from the floor and 38 percent from three as a starter while on a healthy 10 FGA and 7.5 3PA dose of shots. It sounds crazy, but it is still more probable than not that you can still find Bey sitting on your WW, and in that case, you know what to do.
