BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Bulls have started Patrick Williams at the PF position in all of their games this season. He had to go through the "rehab" process during the start of the year (read: October) but he's now finally logging 30+ MPG on a daily basis. The ground-level playing time murdered Williams' early-season upside but now he's in the fantasy picture.
Williams has played at least 29 minutes in all last five games averaging 31 MPG with low 17.7% usage rates in that span (from Oct. 29 on). Even then, though, he's been able to dump 12+ points three times, has grabbed 5+ boards in four of those five matches and has blocked at least one shot in six consecutive games through Sunday.
While the season-long line isn't that appealing and will scare some fantasy GMs off him, Pat is averaging a much tastier 12 PPG, 6 RPG, 1 APG, and nearly 2 BPG in November (four games). The shooting has been either black or white (two games at 50%+ from the floor, two below 34%) but he keeps putting up points and most importantly, long rangers.
Williams has scored six three-point shots in the past three games alone. Even looking at season-long data and baking his early-season low-usage, low-play-time days, Williams is still one of only 24 players hitting 1+ 3PM per game and getting 1 BPG on top of that.
