Ayo Dosumnu

Rostered in 27% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 17 3 28.1 0.622 (7.7/12.3) 1.000 (1.0/1.0) 3.3 19.7 2.7 5.3 1.3 0.7 1.3
2025-26 Season 121 32 26.2 0.515 (5.3/10.3) 0.867 (2.0/2.3) 1.8 14.5 2.7 3.5 0.7 0.3 1.3

Despite coming off the bench, Dosunmu is ranked as a top 20 player in category leagues over the past seven days. That’s thanks to his increased scoring, playmaking, stocks, three-point shooting, and high efficiency. The guard will continue playing high minutes while the Bulls are without Josh Giddey.

Collin Murray-Boyles

Rostered in 29% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 23 4 31.7 0.594 (4.8/8.0) 0.875 (1.8/2.0) 0.0 11.3 9.8 3.5 2.5 1.3 0.8
2025-26 Season 221 33 20.4 0.535 (3.0/5.7) 0.622 (0.8/1.4) 0.5 7.4 4.9 1.7 0.9 0.6 1.1

The Raptors have relied on Murray-Boyles since they’ve been missing Jakob Poeltl, Brandon Ingram, and RJ Barrett. As long as at least one of these guys is out, the rookie has elevated value. The power forward started the last five games and has provided solid all-around numbers, especially on the defensive end.

Peyton Watson

Rostered in 39% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 24 4 38.7 0.500 (8.3/16.5) 0.667 (4.5/6.8) 3.5 24.5 8.0 4.0 1.3 1.8 4.5
2025-26 Season 123 37 29.2 0.503 (4.8/9.5) 0.730 (2.3/3.1) 1.4 13.2 5.0 1.8 1.1 1.0 1.6

Yet another team plagued by injuries are the Nuggets. Thankfully, Watson’s stepped up and is thriving with the extra playing time. Across nearly 40 MPG in the past week, he’s flashed excellent two-way abilities. The only areas the 23-year-old has struggled lately are free-throw percentage and turnovers.

Donte DiVincenzo

Rostered in 46% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 28 4 34.3 0.532 (6.3/11.8) 0.000 (0.0/0.0) 4.5 17.0 4.5 4.8 1.5 0.5 1.8
2025-26 Season 88 40 31.2 0.418 (4.5/10.8) 0.761 (1.4/1.8) 3.1 13.4 4.5 4.1 1.3 0.5 1.3

He’s a bit harder to find on the waivers, being nearly 50% rostered in Yahoo formats, but DiVincenzo has been on a tear lately. Managers who need points and threes, with some assists, rebounds, and steals, should pick up the sharpshooter. The Timberwolves play three games this week, but have a back-to-back on Wednesday-Thursday.

Royce O’Neale

Rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 31 4 29.0 0.514 (4.8/9.3) 1.000 (0.5/0.5) 4.5 14.5 6.3 3.0 1.5 0.5 1.0
2025-26 Season 117 39 29.4 0.435 (3.7/8.4) 0.667 (0.3/0.4) 3.0 10.5 5.1 2.8 1.3 0.3 1.5

Lately, O’Neale has stepped up for the Suns with four consecutive strong performances. The 32-year-old's numbers may not be eye-popping, but he can do a bit of everything. The forward’s best contributions are threes, points, rebounds, and steals.

Sam Merrill

Rostered in 20% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 33 3 29.2 0.562 (6.0/10.7) 0.901 (3.0/3.3) 5.3 20.3 2.7 2.0 1.3 0.0 1.0
2025-26 Season 115 22 26.4 0.477 (4.6/9.7) 0.879 (1.3/1.5) 3.7 14.3 2.4 2.4 0.8 0.1 1.0

Merrill has a hot hand, hitting at least five threes in four consecutive games. He’s started three of those contests, a trend that should continue given the offensive firepower he’s providing. The shooting guard’s efficiency is also off the charts. Merrill isn’t very well-rounded but is a good streamer for points, threes, and some steals.

Zeke Nnaji

Rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 54 4 26.3 0.559 (4.8/8.5) 0.789 (3.8/4.8) 1.5 14.8 5.8 1.3 1.5 1.5 1.5
2025-26 Season 316 26 11.9 0.542 (1.5/2.8) 0.806 (1.1/1.4) 0.4 4.5 2.2 0.4 0.5 0.5 0.5

Another player who stepped up for Denver is Nnaji. He’s trended upwards over the past four games as his minutes jumped to the mid-20s. So far, he’s showcased strong defensive chops with 3.0 stocks per game over his last four outings. The former first-round pick also offers some points, threes, and rebounds.

Egor Demin

Rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 85 3 28.9 0.481 (4.3/9.0) 0.667 (2.0/3.0) 4.0 14.7 3.0 4.0 1.3 0.3 1.3
2025-26 Season 181 33 24.8 0.399 (3.5/8.9) 0.829 (0.9/1.1) 2.4 10.4 3.3 3.5 0.9 0.3 1.8

Demin has ranked in the 80s in category formats for about a month now. While he’s prone to recording duds here and there, he’s also flashed his upside as a scorer and facilitator who can also knock down threes and swipe steals. Note that Demin is out for Monday’s game due to foot injury maintenance, but the Nets play three other games this week.

Jake LaRavia

Rostered in 24% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 131 3 35.9 0.520 (4.3/8.3) 0.493 (0.3/0.7) 2.3 11.3 4.7 1.0 1.7 0.0 1.0
2025-26 Season 174 36 26.9 0.471 (3.6/7.6) 0.726 (1.5/2.0) 1.2 9.8 4.3 1.9 1.4 0.4 1.1

With the Lakers playing five games in week 13 and Rui Hachimura not yet ready to return, picking up LaRavia will give managers bang for their buck. While he’s cooled off a bit lately, the forward is still providing decent points, rebounds, steals, threes, an efficient field goal percentage, and low turnovers.

Naji Marshall

Rostered in 24% of Yahoo leagues

Dataset # GP MPG FG% FT% 3PM PTS TREB AST STL BLK TO
Last 7 days 157 3 30.9 0.562 (6.0/10.7) 0.500 (2.0/4.0) 1.3 15.3 4.3 2.7 1.7 0.0 1.7
2025-26 Season 159 39 28.6 0.535 (4.8/9.1) 0.777 (2.8/3.6) 0.9 13.4 4.6 2.6 1.0 0.1 1.2

Anthony Davis is set to miss some time with a hand issue, and P.J. Washington is dealing with his own ankle issue, leaving room for Marshall to step up. The 28-year-old can contribute across multiple areas, namely points, rebounds, assists, steals, and threes. He should be playing a heavy workload while the Mavericks are down in the frontcourt.

Ayo Dosumnu
