Brandon Jennings

Understanding the value of having handcuffs in fantasy is an important element to be successful in winning your fantasy league. Some handcuffs , such as Jamal Crawford, have a very high stock in fantasy as they are assets in fantasy basketball.

Despite being the sixth man off the bench, players like Crawford and Brandon Jennings are given starter minutes.

When a player is known for being injury-prone, grabbing their backup is the smartest thing to do. In the past, players like Darren Collision and Jarrett Jack saw their fantasy stock go up when they each stepped into the starting role.

While Jennings is going to have a lot to prove this season, grabbing him in the draft may be a wise thing to do. No one is sure if he holds a high enough stock in fantasy as a sixth man. He does have a high stock if Rose is to miss time with an injury, however.

Rose hasn’t played more than 70 games since the 2010-11 season.

The last time Jennings was a starter, he put up 15.4 points, 6.6 assists, 1.1 steals and a little under two 3-point field goals made per game. He’s proven capable of going off offensively in some games.

He’s worth drafting in leagues with 12 teams or more due to his ability to put 3-point field goals, scoring, assists, and steals on the board.
