As waiver activity heats up, fantasy managers are reevaluating their rosters using every tool available — from fantasy basketball rankings and NBA depth charts to updated NBA injury reports and the latest NBA news. With rotations shifting and unexpected opportunities emerging, understanding how injuries and minutes fluctuations impact NBA lineups is essential when deciding whether a trending pickup is a true fantasy basketball sleeper or just a short-term streamer. Whether you rely on a fantasy basketball cheat sheet, NBA player projections, or simple matchup analysis, today's most-added players offer a mix of upside, risk and situational value worth breaking down.
3 Most-Added Fantasy Basketball Players on Yahoo
Justin Champagnie, Wizards 
Justin Champagnie jumps out as the most actionable name on today's list, and for good reason. The Wizards are extremely shorthanded on the wing, with Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly both ruled out for "multiple weeks." That alone puts Champagnie on the fantasy radar, but his recent production cements him as more than just a two-day streamer.
He's coming off a strong 16-point, five-rebound, three-assist, one-steal, three-block performance and has quietly produced across his last four games: 12 points, seven boards, two assists, 1.0 steal and 1.5 blocks in 23 minutes per game.
Champagnie has always profiled as a per-minute standout. Fantasy managers familiar with his past runs know that when he pushes past the 30-minute mark, he can flirt with must-roster value in standard formats. While he's not guaranteed that level right now, Washington's depleted depth chart gives him a legitimate chance to climb into the upper-20s in minutes.
Most importantly, Champagnie provides true stocks upside — a rare commodity. Per 36 minutes, he averages: 12.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks.
He's available in 92% of leagues, making him a top priority for deep formats and a viable short-term play in standard leagues this weekend. If his minutes climb even slightly, he could become one of the better multi-category producers currently on the wire.
Jock Landale, Grizzlies 
With Zach Edey sidelined at least a month, Jock Landale returns to the starting lineup — a role we've already seen him in earlier this season. In his previous stretch without Edey, Landale started 13 games, averaging: 11 points, six rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes.
That's respectable production, but far from irreplaceable in standard leagues. Landale's game doesn't come with major upside swings — few defensive stats, low scoring ceiling, and inconsistent workloads depending on matchups.
This isn't to say he's not worth adding. Landale should be a solid 14- or 16-team option and a fringe streamer in standard formats when the Grizzlies have favorable schedules. But in terms of rest-of-season impact? This role change likely doesn't shift his profile much.
In short: add him for deeper leagues; don't blow your FAAB or top waiver priority in 12-teamers.
Quinten Post, Warriors 
Quinten Post has quietly been carving out a steady rotation role for Golden State, logging at least 17 minutes in nine straight games. During that stretch, he's averaged: 11 points, four rebounds, two assists, and 1.8 stocks (steals + blocks) in 23 minutes.
The Warriors play Friday and Sunday, making Post an appealing back-to-back streamer — particularly with Draymond Green out tonight due to a personal matter.
Post's value hinges heavily on Draymond's availability. If Draymond returns Sunday, Post goes back to being more of a deeper-league watchlist name rather than a must-hold. If Draymond remains out longer, Post could stay relevant as a low-end big who contributes in scoring, efficiency, and defensive stats.
For now, treat him as a two-day rental with the potential for short-term stickiness.
