CJ McCollum

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. 154 in our 9-cat rankings, down 18 spots since Oct 24.
  • 26 minutes a game this season, off the bench.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 95% chance he plays it.

How we work out the chance he plays

His role

Minutes a game, and whether he starts.

Last season
30 min
76 games, started 60 of 76
This preseason
20 min
3 games, started all 3
This season
26 min
6 games, off the bench
We project
28 min
about 65 games

Why we project him this way: 26.1 min, 14.5 pts, 1.8 reb, 2.8 ast in 6 games this season; 11 shots a game, down from 15.2 last season; at 35, we expect a small dip and a few more rest games.

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).

If he sits, who gains

In 32 games without him, Jalen Johnson went from 35 to 36 minutes and 46.4 to 50.5 fantasy points a game.
