The only thing I’ve disagreed with so far is saying that Josh Childress had no fantasy value last year. As a Childress owner, I feel the need to defend him, or at least clarify his value.

In 8-cat leagues, he only rated at #84 on the player rater. However, if you’re in a 9-cat league (with turnovers) than he came in at #63 on the player rater…early 7th round value. For context, 3 players right ahead of him on the player rater (per game stats): Mike Miller, Turkoglu, Hinrich, The 3 players right below him: Josh Smith, B.Simmons, Josh Howard.

One other odd thing of note… He played much better when he was the 6th man. He had a VERY slow start to the season as a starter (first 9 games). But then he went to the bench and nearly all his numbers improved: minutes, points, stls, blks, FG%, FT%, 3’s, TO, etc.

A weird guy to own, but definitely not without value. I’m hoping he stays as the 6th man and continues to get his 30+ minutes/game. With Harrington out of the way, I think he’s got a good shot.
