Well, that's it for what day is it? What week is it? Week seven. That's it for week seven. The seven games were on. We're going to talk about them. There were big performances as usual, massive letdowns. I'm looking at you, somebody, big man, Memphis. Michael Bolton?

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball

Thank you also for making Locked-on Fantasy Basketball your first listen every day. We're free. We're available on all platforms. We are part of the number one sports podcast network, which is of course the Locked-on podcast network. We're with seven games on. We're beginning week eight, obviously. We've done a week

eight preview show. We've done a wave-a-wire show. We've done a Monday preview show as well.

And this is a very, very low-volume week. So when we're talking about things like ads and drops

and valuing players, I think, yes, every week is important and get your wins where you can

and you can turn one game into five games this week pretty easily. But I think a lot of the decisions you make about adding someone, it does give you a little bit of a chance where this week can be, obviously more it played due to variance because of low volume of games. That increases variance. But it gives you more of an opportunity to like wait on an injured

guy because they might only play once over five nights. And you're not at a disadvantage

because that happens to a lot of teams and a lot of players. So you can wait out things a little

bit longer. You can take state, oh, he's got a bad schedule. That's okay because the whole

week's a little bit of a write-off, just in that respect.

Because when you go down from instead of playing 45 games for the week and your matchups got 25 in it,

the variance is so high, or so much higher, that sometimes you can take a little bit of a forward-thinking approach and use this as almost a right-offy sort of week.

Get the win, like, by all means, and stream it through and do that. But I wouldn't be going, well, I've got this guy who's the 80th best player, but he only plays once this week, I've got to drop him, because I've got to get more games. I wouldn't be doing it that way. I would not look, I'd be looking at this week. go well you know what we just got kicked in the head with the way the schedule goes

and I'll cop it for this week if this this was week 17 and we're getting onto the playoffs and yeah, like you've got to make those moves to get those desperate wins. But I think we're still sort of early enough here where we can take a little bit of a hit and we can feel yeah, okay about that without having to make sacrificial moves i think that's how that's how i

be approached any sort of like wow there's no games and i really got to drop everybody to get more
