With a little over a month left in the regular season (and the fantasy playoffs in full swing), I'm back with another dynasty rankings update.
As always, there are two tabs - one ranking set is for CATEGORIES leagues and the other is for POINTS leagues. Make sure you are looking at that the correct tab.
I am planning to do at least one more in-season dynasty rankings update before t...

My NBA Draft Big Board is back...and it's a lot bigger.
The new board covers 50+ prospects for the 2024 NBA Draft, their fantasy projections, rookie draft tiers, and advanced statistics.
This "bad draft" is going to produce a lot of fantasy talent and these big boards are going to give you a massive edge over your league.

The NBA Trade Deadline was only 24 hours ago - but I'm back with a full rankings update.
It was not the most exciting deadline, but there's plenty of changes from a dynasty perspective. I'm going to try to do a podcast next week to talk through some of the big shifts but feel free to ask questions below in the comments.

The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow.
In preparation, I've assembled a board with all 30 NBA teams roster projections for the 2024 offseason. The main objective here is to assess the contract status of every rostered NBA player and where opportunities for more minutes and larger roles may arise.
A few quick notes:

We're into Day 3 of official WNBA free agency and most of the free agents are off the board.

The NBA Trade Deadline is one week away - which will decimate these rankings - but that hasn't stopped me from doing a full update for all of you.
Less movement in this one than in some prior versions as player performances start to settle in now that we're halfway through the season - but there are a few BIG changes.
