Fantasy Basketball Recap for January 28 and Waiver Wire Options: Dennis Schroder, Guerschon Yabusele, Jae'Sean Tate, Drew Eubanks, Brandin Podziemski and More
Looking over some of the better fantasy basketball performances from January 28 to maybe identify some waiver wire options.
I decided to switch up my waiver wire story a bit on Tuesday, looking at the top waiver wire performers from every game, instead of just the top players from the Waiver Wire Pickups page. The story was well received, so we’ll do the same thing for Tuesday’s games.
There were only four games played, so we won’t have nearly as many players to go over. After highlighting the top players from Tuesday, I’ll mention the top players from the waiver wire page.
