Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Lean add

A lean, not a lock: he's just past the 156 players a 12-team league usually rosters.

  • No. 194 in our 9-cat rankings, down 9 spots since Oct 24.
  • 22 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 90% chance he plays it.
  • When Toppin sat since last season, he played 29 minutes instead of 26 (23 games).
