Or Carnivore, if you will.

I’m not sure who writes this, but CBSSports has an excellent breakdown of fantasy action in a team-by-team fashion.

In the mean time, it seems that most people are worried about their “early season busts” – most notably Kirk Hinrich is called out by Hoops Fantasy (previous link) as well as a Yahoo reader..

Seriously people. Chill.

We’re only 4 games in. Mike Conley should be dropped, and hopefully you didn’t pick him before the last round or two. But if you drafted Kirk Hinrich in the 4th or 5th round, for my sake (if not for your own), hang on a little longer. Do you really think John Salmons or Francisco Garcia are going to end the season ahead of Hinrich in the fantasy rankings?

Charlie Zegers of Rotowire has an article on FOX Sports with player’s stock valuations. I like that Zegers has his own blog where he reposts parts of articles from Rotowire, and also posts the links to the FOX Sports articles (which you can read for free, as opposed to subscribing to Rotowire).

    Wow, a week into the season is a little early to be calling guys “busts” – it’s a good idea to at least wait until the first Grant Hill injury of the year before calling out a guy for the entire season.

    Thanks for the link.

    As for Hinrich… I don’t think he’s a bust — not yet, anyway. I do think there’s a chance that he won’t produce as much as last year, because the Bulls are having a lot of trouble defending big guards and Chicago’s opponents are concentrating on defending the perimeter because they don’t really have anyone to keep ‘em honest in the paint.

    But I certainly wouldn’t drop him for a guy like Salmons or Garcia (whose production is going to drop once Artest and Bibby come back).
