Coby White (PG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues

ANALYSIS: I know I'm going a little bit over the limit here with that fifty-nine rostership, but bear with me. First of all, go check your WW before even reading this post, and if Coby White is sitting there smash that ADD button like a madman! Okay, now that you're back, let's talk about this young player and flex on his haters, which are still quite a few.

I've been on Coby's train since his HS days, so it feels awesome to be justified now that he's doing at the highest of levels for the highest of seeds out East. As simple as that. After missing a bunch of games through December and returning Dec. 19, Coby has played 30 matches and averaged 31 MPG, more than enough to put up numbers on a nightly basis. He's also started 14 of those at either guard position along with rookie Ayo Dosunmu given the precarious status of the Bulls rotation thanks to multiple injuries taking place over the past few weeks/months.

White is putting up an average 17-3-3 per-game line in February while hitting a silly 3.5+ three-point shots per game in that span. He's hit 3+ triples in six of the past eight games he's played, and 4+ in five of those including a four-game stretch in which he did it right before the break while scoring 22-16-24-31 points respectively. Classic players in terms of his contributions for fantasy (no steals, no blocks) and absolutely murderous at shooting with total points, triples, shooting percentages (45/40/84 splits), and bulky 11+ FGA. Must-have player ROS, no matter the league format or roster sizes
