Using Fantasy Basketball Weekly Projections to Identify Waiver Wire Options | Toumani Camara, Keyonte George, Jusuf Nurkic, Wendell Carter Jr., Jose Alvarado and More

Last week, I put together a story identifying fantasy basketball waiver wire options who were projected for the most fantasy points on the FantasySP Projections page.

I'm back with a similar article, but for week 19 of the fantasy season this time. These players all appear in the top 100 as of the time of publication. I'll break them down into what percentage of leagues they are owned/available in.
