BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Clippers added Rajon Rondo to the fold with their lone trade-deadline move, and just a few days/weeks after that they proceeded to lose Pat Beverly for the remainder of the regular season due to injury (he had missed all games from Mar. 11 on already, and had just come back on Apr. 6). No big deal, though. Since Beverley went down back on Apr. 8, Reggie Jackson has been the starting point for the Clips, is playing 30+ minutes nightly, and even on such dosage of minutes, he's been able to keep up efficient per-minute levels of performance.
In the week following Beverley's injury, spanning from Apr. 9 to Apr. 16, Jackson played five games only having a middling outing of 22 FP against Indiana in which he still was able to finish with a 6-5-4-2 lowly-stuffed line. The shooting killed him, going 1-of-7 from the floor, but that was more a fluke than anything else. In the other four matches, the line read an average 20-5-5-1 which, simply put, is just bonkers to find available in almost 75% of Yahoo leagues these days.
The Clippers are going to load-manage the likes of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard ROS, and Rajon Rondo is more of a playoff asset than a regular-season one, so odds are Reggie keeps logging heavy minutes and racking up points for his fantasy GMs. While Jackson's average is going to always be closer to a lower 15-3-3, the upside for an explosion is there nightly and it won't be hard to watch a few more 20-5-5 games from Jax here and there. Must-add in almost every league, no matter the depth.
