Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Quentin Grimes should be added in shallow leagues

[ad_1]

Depending on the league’s settings, many fantasy managers will compete for a championship during Week 21. The “silly season” has been in full effect for a few weeks, meaning some players on lottery-bound teams have firmly established themselves as worthwhile additions to fantasy rosters. The lingering concern is a player performing so well that they lose out on playing time to protect- or improve- the team’s lottery odds. This week’s Waiver Wire begins with a player who could find himself in that situation, but fantasy managers must operate under the assumption that he’ll continue to play starters’ minutes.

Priority Adds

1. Quentin Grimes (shallow leagues)

2. Toumani Camara

3. Kyle Filipowski

4. Jeremy Sochan

5. Aaron Nesmith

6. Kyshawn George

7. Cason Wallace

According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked fifth in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. The 76ers have been willing to let Grimes play heavy minutes, and he has made the most of his opportunities. Even if the team cut Grimes’ minutes, that should not be a significant concern for fantasy managers.

SG/SF/PF Toumani Camara (46%), Portland Trail Blazers

Camara is still rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues, meaning he can help some managers compete in 12-team leagues. While he has only been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, the percentages (41.5 percent from the field, 40.0 percent from the foul line) have been the problem. Camara continues to provide excellent defensive production, making him worth the risk in category leagues.

SF/PF/C Jeremy Sochan (43%), San Antonio Spurs

Sochan’s production hasn’t been great, as he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, he has played 31 minutes or more in two of his last three outings, most recently logging 38 as the starting center in a March 19 win over the Knicks. Also, Sochan…
