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. 99 in our 9-cat rankings, down 12 spots since Oct 24.
- About the same role as last season: 35 minutes a game; started all 4 preseason games.
- 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 40% chance he plays it.
- When Wagner sat since last season, he played 36 minutes instead of 32 (45 games).
