BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz guard/forward Joe Ingles is out there on the waiver wire in over 60 percent of leagues for some reason. That should change.
After missing three games earlier in the month, Ingles has stormed back with a vengeance, averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game over the past six games. While he hasn't attempted a single free throw over that span due to his catch-and-shoot role, he has averaged 12.3 points per game.
But lots of guys can give you three-pointers. What has Ingles standing out right now is that he's also averaged 5.2 assists over this span. His lack of rebounding might be a little frustrating for a forward, but he makes up for it by being an incredibly efficient scorer.
Ingles not being a well-rounded player means that it can be hard to gauge his fantasy value. I wrote that the Baller Move was to add him in 12-team leagues, which I think is true as long as you've built your team in the right way. Like, if you're punting rebounds or blocks, Ingles will slide right into your lineup.
If you're going for a consistent, solid lineup, maybe you don't add him in a 12-teamer, but you should definitely add him in all 14-team leagues. Ingles is capable of draining five-plus threes on any night. His passing ability is a huge plus. He keeps shooting over 50 percent from the floor.
Lots of good stuff here with Ingles. You should probably add him!
