NEW!! Steals & Busts in EVERY Round From Yahoo's October Board (Part 2) Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

GOOD HEAVENS the board has shifted! We had to redo one of favorites, and there VERY few holdovers. That's good for content, but bad for fantasy prep since we need to go back to the drawing board and make sure we can get favorites in every round! Part two covers round 5 through the end of the pre-fliers zone!

Matty G is joined by fellow @OldManSquad analyst and legend Adam King to open up the OMS 2026-27 Fantasy Basketball Watch List, with the cherry on top being Damian Lillard.

It's about identifying the players whose role, opportunity, development or circumstances could change their fantasy value and how you target (or avoid) them.

Get them on your watch list NOW — before everybody else does.
