Embiid & LeBronze shoot enough free throws to fuck over your percentage and sink you below 80% on the week, James Harden will do a great job shooting you into a giant fuckin’ hole on FG%. All three are turnover machines.
Sorry for lumping them together to get to the number three! But I suppose in the case you provided, the analogy works perfectly! Your team only needs to compete on six categories. Add streaming in to the mix and the “stack” is hella easy to combat!
“Studs” aren’t always safe. In fact, I believe these are the only players who are fantasy gold in nine category leagues:
KAT, AD, Curry, Durant. Consider durability and the list narrows to one! Who keeps winning me championships?! LMAO!
As you expand out and head into second and third round talent, you manage to find more who can do the same but at a lower volume. At the top, on the other hand, you’re forced to punt categories! Give me Vucevic over Embiid! Middleton over Giannis! Anyone over Westbrook!
If we were playing in a points league, things would be so much different on the trades that have been happening!
