Player Drops and Holds (11/11/2026)
Key Points:
- Fantasy basketball expert Thunder Dan Palyo advises managers on which underperforming players to drop as of November 11, 2026, to make room for breakout waiver wire pickups in standard 12-team leagues.
- Key players recommended to cut include Ryan Rollins, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Green, Collin Gillespie, Andrew Wiggins, Bobby Portis Jr., DeMar DeRozan, Reed Sheppard, Precious Achiuwa, and Draymond Green due to limited upside, poor efficiency, or injuries.
- Players to watch but hold for now include Myles Turner, Kel'el Ware, Jalen Smith, Christian Braun, Paul Reed, Keegan Murray, Dillon Brooks, and Julian Champagnie, as they show potential or are impacted by team situations.
- The hold list features Matas Buzelis, Zach Edey, Day'Ron Sharpe, CJ McCollum, Collin Murray-Boyles, Khaman Maluach, and Cameron Johnson, who are providing solid contributions or have promising roles despite some inconsistency.
- For injured players, Palyo suggests holding onto Anthony Edwards, Kawhi Leonard, Jaren Jackson Jr., Paolo Banchero, and others if roster spots allow, prioritizing based on potential impact once healthy.
