Those who ignored the injury concerns of players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Davis landed two of the top players in fantasy hoops through this small sample size of games. Others who took a big swing on players in new places like Donovan Mitchell and Dejounte Murray are also seeing their stars outperform their average draft position early on. And then there are the teams who are trying to recover from early season injuries to stars like Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard and Deandre Ayton, and that’s where the waiver wire becomes the most vital part of bridging the gap until those players return to full strength....

Yes, this week’s fantasy busts feature a wide variety of players, including one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league, a “must-start” player at one of the thinnest positions, and some top waiver pickups. Even with two teams on bye, your should have other options – and we say take those options. Click here for our Week 13 sleeper picks.

This mindset is not necessarily wrong. It’s understandable that you would want the best players in your team but, in Fantasy, it’s often better to prioritise value over quality. There are some players that look worth their hefty price tag, like Ronaldo’s £8.2m, but today we’re going to look at the other side of that coin. With so much money and attention being spent on superstars, many good players can be had for a relatively low cost and ownership....

Unfortunately, you can’t make that trade, and many owners have had to endure both low scores and battle scars. We can’t do much about the latter, but we can offer up some advice to help you avoid the former. Bad matchups are obviously the easiest way to spot a potential bust, and our experts identify plenty of those this week. This involves being negative about hot waiver wire pickups and guys we tabbed as sleepers just last week, but that’s how quickly things change in the fantasy world....

That’s the choice I chewed fingernails on for a week before our SN Experts’ League draft. Do I take the second-year Green Bay running back, the very man I named my Honda Pilot after last season? Or do I take the game’s best receiver, who has ranked in the top three at the position in each of the last three years? 2014 FANTASY RANKINGS: Top 50 for 2014 | Top rookies | QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs...

It’s just simple math. So, when you take a wide receiver and put him in Denver’s “oh-my-gosh-look-at-all-those-yards-and-touchdowns-except-against-seattle-in-the-Super-Bowl” offense, you can bet fantasy owners are going to get a little excited.

Calm down. We know. When you’re looking for a sleeper, you don’t want to be directed toward two of this season’s biggest busts. You want fresh waiver-wire pickups like Charcandrick West or even a rookie wide receiver with a great matchup like Stefon Diggs – someone, anyone, other than boring veterans who have wreaked havoc with your lineup decisions all season long. Well, we have plenty of both, but we’re still sticking with our Anderson and White advice....

This week’s byes will send many fantasy owners scrambling for sleepers at all positions. Before making for your final start-sit lineup decisions, check to see if these replacement options are available.
