Eason. Mins aren't consistent enough for me yet, though I know you want to squat on it for a while. If not him, it's Smith.

@dbesbris what gives Hartenstein the edge over Jalen Smith right now?  With the waiver wire so thin (12 team, 12 man roster, plus 3 IL+ spots per team), you’re right, I’m an Eason enthusiast as I don’t see anyone else on the WW with more upside.

Hartenstein just has a better fantasy game. We're seeing Smith has brutal %s that we weren't really aware of when they were in tank mode last year and now he's going against teams that are trying and it's not going well. He might get it together but as long as that team isn't tanking he's in trouble.

@dbesbris a trade of Miles Turner seems like it would improve the situation, with either LA team mentioned frequently (with Clippers more likely at this point)

Isaiah Hartenstein revealed on Wednesday that he's been dealing with an inflamed Achilles that has limited his mobility on the court.

This injury could help explain why Hartenstein has seen his role reduced in recent games, and hopefully he can get back to full strength without missing anytime. If Hartenstein was to miss time with the injury, Jericho Sims would have less competition for the backup center minutes and that could translate to low-end streaming appeal in category formats. It's even possible that Sims gets another spot start if Mitchell Robinson (right knee) misses time with the injury he suffered on Monday

@jisquick This is true, but I dunno. Indy might just run it out at this point... they're not terrible.

@dbesbris I think given Hartenstein's subpar performance and now the inflamed Achilles, I'm reluctantly dropping him for now.  He seems like the guy least likely to be picked up again anytime soon...I think....and now with Vanderbilt, I may just drop Jalen Smith when or if Strus gets healthy anyway.  Eason seems to have the most upside of those 3 although the minutes stink....

@jisquick Funny enough, because of this Isaiah news I lean more toward the hold. I was worried he was just losing his place but knowing he's been playing hurt now we can feel better about his per-min numbers coming back toward his career marks when he gets right

@dbesbris Jalen Smith starts at 4 - I'd have to drop him before then I assume if I go that direction.  Maybe I should?

@jisquick Nah don't do anything rushed at this point

I dropped Hartenstein to activate Tatum. Jalen smith or Eason are next on the chopping block. Jalen Smith is 70% owned so I decided to keep him and his “perceived” value for now 

Smith making a case for drop as we speak.

@dbesbris ya maybe they’re both just awful 😣 

Once Strus is healthy the correct answer might be dropping both. I’ll just ride the great Vanderbilt 😆
