Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 6: De'Anthony Melton, Tyus Jones, Caleb Martin

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: What happened last Friday in the game between the Cavs and the Hornets could very well be labeled a fluke more than a trend in Mason Plumlee's case.
