Cooper Flagg: Fantasy's Unstoppable Force?

Cooper Flagg has been the standout player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks, dominating with 33.4 points and strong all-around stats. Despite his individual success, his team, the Dallas Mavericks, is struggling, though Flagg's focus on winning Rookie of the Year is expected to keep him playing significant minutes.

Saddiq Bey of the New Orleans Pelicans is also having a surprising season, averaging 23.1 points over his last seven games. Fantasy managers might consider trading Bey while his value is high. Ty Jerome of the Memphis Grizzlies has impressed in limited minutes, but competition and injury concerns temper his long-term outlook.

Conversely, Zach LaVine, Shaedon Sharpe, and DeMar DeRozan are facing fantasy challenges. LaVine's scoring is adequate, but other stats are lacking due to ball-dominant teammates on a struggling Kings team. Sharpe's scoring is solid, but he offers little elsewhere, and his minutes could be limited. DeRozan is also scoring but lacks all-around fantasy production on a Kings team with too many ball-handlers.
