Daniel Gafford

Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Worth adding

Fairly sure, though he's not far from the edge of what a 12-team league keeps.

  • No. 108 in our 9-cat rankings, up 54 spots since Oct 24.
  • 23 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • No games for DAL this week (Oct 31–Nov 1).

When teammates sit

His minutes and fantasy points in real games without a teammate.

No teammate's absence has changed his minutes much yet (we need 5 or more games without them to say).
