Fantasy Basketball Category Analysis & Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 23

Fantasy Basketball Category Analysis & Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 23

Welcome to Week 23. Congratulations on making it to the “Last Mile.” While some of you are playing for the crown and others are playing to reclaim your sane version of your sanity, know we should be proud of making it to the “Last Mile.”

Life and Fantasy 

Coming into this season, I was hopeful we would be able to accomplish something special. It is my second year having the privilege of authoring this article in support and collaboration with the FantasyPros team. I was hopeful I would not only help contribute to something we could be proud of but also demonstrate to the team and community — who have given me a chance — that I had grown and made good on the opportunity to contribute to this “art” we love.

Bold Goals… a Successful “Three-Peat”

Setting bold goals and commitment, making life changes in response to life as I prepare for the exciting things on the horizon personally and professionally, and not just me but my family — for example, we are going for a successful “Three-Peat” this year with the arrival of my family’s third child in August.

Mr. Mahomes, we will tell you how it feels — E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES — but also, all love and respect to you, a soon-to-be proud member of the GOAT Club and possible catalyst for Tom Brady coming out of retirement by the end of what seems to be one of the best-issued contracts of all time.

Anyways…

This season, I set out to prove I could meet my good intentions by stating, executing and producing intent, action and results that went exactly as I said they would.

A Hero’s Journey Embraced

However, like many of us with the best intentions going into this year for fantasy and life, it didn’t quite go as we thought. Like many of our weekly discoveries and ultimately a significant motif that embraced and honored elements of one’s Hero’s Journey.

The reward of the unknown, the character growth achieved from perseverance, the power gained from trusting oneself and the courage embraced from taking the journey

Evolved this season into one of historical shifts for the sport, the industry and game of fantasy and the industry and game of our lives giving us the chance to choose to accomplish more.

Great, not so Great… Expected, not so Expected

Some were great, some not so great, some expected, some not expected. In the end, like much of what I am feeling and thinking now, I am just thankful for how we experienced this thing. I now see that life, just like sports — albeit we can’t see at times — prepares us for opportunities we did not know were possible, desired or expected.

As long as we came in with 100% effort and intention, whether that be 100% of the total 15% we had to give as we managed life, our dreams, our fears, and excitement, we knew and eventually had to trust that as long as we made it to the end, we would find something exciting.

A Missed Mark Hit

I didn’t quite hit the mark I was looking for this season, but what I did hit is something I hope we will all be able to enjoy as early as the conclusion of this Health-Demic season.

Much like my life now and my journey since having the chance to join this community, I look back and am happy with how I embraced the ride and how members of the community continued to show up as professionals dedicated to excellence while doing and exceeding what it meant to treat each other as human beings when life arose.

Because of this, I was able to stand strong not only this season but also in life, coming into each week with new lessons I eventually intended to bring full circle as a tool to encourage and cheer you all on as you faced and accomplished similar feats and as we strove to become better fantasy fans and people.

The Beginning of the “End”

So, this is it. We are in it now, and the ending of the endgame is here. In the end, who will you powerfully declare to be in response to the Health-Demic after your stand in the inevitability of your triumph and before you save the universe as the one out of the 14,000,605?

Ultimately, whether you are standing after your “Beautiful Death” or falling valiantly in the face of a good dance, be happy and congratulations on making it to the “Last Mile.”

I stand here today in the reality of the “one out of 14,000,605” happy, proud and thankful to be walking the “Last Mile” with you all. This moment is where we stand, not just as players in a game but as people navigating our battles and passing our tests

…At the Same Time As We Stand Together “Hold Me”

At the same time, this is what my last mile looked like heading into this weekend: “Hold me.” And an X post. I was so bent, I posted this on Facebook and LinkedIn.

But talk about standing together. Shout out to a proud member of the GOAT Club, Nicholas Rodriguez (@TheAnalyticsPen), who has also been brilliantly serving as your “North Star” all season long with his incredible waiver wire article.

Thank you for the words of encouragement in response to my “fascinated-totally-non-emotional message” in the team slack channel.

My man, you are right. It’s only up from here. Onward and upward.

“You Have All the Weapons You Need… Now Fight”

This week, the article focuses on the things that matter most and does its best to give you the “Pen, Pencil, Pastels and Paints” you need to create the conclusive masterpiece of your season — ultimately preparing you for what could be one of the greatest seasons of all time in 2025-2026.

We’ve been preparing for this and I — just like you — must walk this “Last Mile” individually and together. However, if you have questions, just refer to the adventures of weeks past to glean why or why not a player has made it back to compete in the endgame. Take the tools we discovered and the lessons we learned, and win — You Have All the Weapons You Need.

Thank You to the FantasyPros Community

For your engagement, passion, trust in the process and commitment to elevating your game. We see you. We appreciate you. As we inspire, we are inspired by you. Your choices, your strategies, your competition.

Fantasy Basketball Category & Waiver Wire Analysis

We will focus our attention more on matchup contexts, multi-week schedules and thoughtful player and roster management to give you an edge, leveraging the roster build frame framework.

About the Roster Build Frame

The roster build frame helps managers tailor their team composition, ensuring a balance between long-term stability and week-to-week flexibility.

X-axis: Specialist vs. Generalist

  • Specialists (Sp): Players who excel in one or two specific statistical categories.
  • Generalist (G): Players who provide impactful contributions across multiple categories.

Y-axis: Hold vs. Stream

  • Hold (H): Managers who prioritize capitalizing on long-term player acquisitions.
  • Stream (St): Managers who prioritize capitalizing on short-term player acquisitions.

How it Works:

  • Deriving from the roster build frame for each player selected is a build frame code (BFC) based on their profile within this framework.
  • Example: A player labeled “GsHs” is a Generalist suited for a Hold strategy, with secondary strengths in streaming potential.

Why it Matters:

  • By understanding where players fit within this model, you can optimize roster decisions, maximize category strengths and build a competitive team.
  • It is a strategic tool that helps fantasy basketball managers define their team-building approach using two key spectrums:

Week 23: Theme, Expectations, Trends and Takeaways

Themes, expectations, trends and takeaways are taken from the analysis conducted when looking at the specific featured players identified and highlighted in this article.

This Week’s Theme:

  • One slate at a time, one game at a time
  • Player “daily” stream-hold mentality for the Week
  • 1-0 Mentality

What to Expect

  • Primary players will play well
  • Secondary players will have more opportunities for impact
  • “Hot-handed” potential layers will get an opportunity
  • Some nice timely bull

Key Category Trend Takeaways

  • Scorers will score; facilitators will facilitate
  • Rebounders will rebound; blockers will block
  • Three-point shooters will shoot
  • Efficient shooters will fight for efficiency
  • Free-throw shooters will fight for the line

Bottom Line

Expect anything and everything to happen in these remaining weeks. Stay on your lineups to effectively stream your holds.

Remain vigilant on keeping up with slate updates, team updates and player statuses up until lock.

By doing this you will best put yourself in a position to see red first and to put yourself in a position to respond and attack the bull instead of reacting and running in the presence of the bull.
