Fantasy basketball is all about finding hidden gems who defy positional norms, giving managers the edge in category leagues. Mastering the art of identifying players who can contribute in out-of-position stats are crucial, whether you’re navigating the balanced demands of rotisserie (roto) or the tactical decisions of head-to-head (H2H) formats. The ability to uncover and utilize out-of-position stats can be the difference between a good team and a championship-winning team.

As the game evolves, so do the roles of guards and wings, many of whom now contribute significantly in areas once dominated by frontcourt players. From filling the stat sheet with rebounds to protecting the rim with blocks and maintaining high shooting efficiency, these players are redefining what it means to be a guard or wing. Players like Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, with their triple-double threat abilities and across-the-board contributions, exemplify this trend.

In this article, we’ll shine a spotlight on guards and wings—those playing at point guard (PG) shooting guard (SG) and small forward (SF)—who bring value in rebounds, blocks, and field goal percentage. These players are breaking the mold and offering managers a unique advantage by excelling in stats traditionally associated with big men.
