Court Report: Week 22 Dashboard, Part II

Each Sunday, the Dashboard centralizes all the crucial information fantasy managers need to dominate their weekly head-to-head matchups or climb the standings in their rotisserie leagues. The Dashboard covers schedule analysis, status updates, adds, drops, watch list candidates, and deep league targets for managers of all skill levels. Quite simply, it is a comprehensive weekly cheat sheet that is packed with so much information that we've devoted two writers to producing it.

Add List - players currently owned in less than 40% of Yahoo! leagues

? Jordan Farmar, PG, NJN (16% owned)
Farmar got the start on Sunday (35 minutes, 10 points, 17 assists, 2 steals) and will get at least two more starts while Deron Williams gives his right wrist a break. A few games off isn't going to improve Deron's situation and the prospect of a complete shut-down remains very real. In other words, find room for Farmar. Week 22: Mon IND, Wed @CLE, Fri @ORL, Sat @ATL

? Tony Allen, GF, MEM (22% owned)
I'm trying to establish legitimate reasons for why Allen isn't owned in a lot more fantasy leagues but have had no success as of yet. His averages in 13 games since the All-Star break include 13.5 points on 53-percent shooting, 83-percent foul shooting, 3.9 boards, 2 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 27 minutes. Week 22: Mon UTA, Wed @BOS, Fri @CHI, Sun SAS

? Kenyon Martin, PF, DEN (19% owned)
Kenyon is a great option if you have plenty of offense but could use some complementary defensive stats. His averages in his past 11 games include 10.6 points on 54-percent shooting, 7.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 30 minutes. Week 22: Mon TOR, Wed SAS, Fri WAS

? Francisco Garcia, GF, SAC (39% owned)
You are getting a four-game week here and Garcia's averages in eight March games thus far include 12.1 points on 47-percent shooting, 94-percent foul shooting, 1.8 threes, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 1 turnover in 26 minutes. Week 22: Mon @CHI, Wed @MIL, Fri @IND, Sun @PHI

? Jodie Meeks, SG, PHI (30% owned)
Meeks has failed to hit at least two threes in a game just once in March, while averaging 14.5 points on 50-percent shooting, 93-percent foul shooting, 2.8 threes, 3.9 boards, 1.3 steals, and 0.6 turnovers in 36 minutes. Week 22: Wed ATL, Fri @MIA, Sun SAC

? Ryan Anderson, FC, ORL (37% owned)
Anderson's numbers continue to be quite useful (29 minutes, 9.7 points, 1.7 threes, 6.9 boards, 1.3 blocks, 0.7 turnovers over the past seven games) and the matchups look particularly good for the coming week. Week 22: Mon @CLE, Wed @NYK, Fri NJN

? Paul George, GF, IND (6% owned)
George has averaged 31 minutes of playing time over the past four games and posted good defensive numbers (5.8 boards, 2 steals, 1.3 blocks), although his offense needs some help (8 points, 38% FG, 0.8 threes). The minutes are there and the matchups look good for the coming week, so certainly give him a look. Week 22: Mon @NJN, Wed @CHA, Fri SAC, Sat @DET

? Carlos Delfino, GF, MIL (38% owned)
Just when you think Delfino is of no real use, he goes out and posts a monster line like he did on Friday (26 points, 8 threes, 8 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals). Take a look at his overall resume in 27 games as a starter in order to set expectations: 34 minutes, 12.1 points, 40% FG, 2.3 threes, 4.7 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.3 turnovers, and 1.9 steals. Week 22: Wed SAC, Fri @NYK, Sat CHI

? Shawne Williams, F, NYN (12% owned)
Williams is getting consistent run for the Knicks and has averaged 12.6 points on 49-percent shooting, 2.6 threes, 5.2 boards, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 turnovers in 28 minutes over the past five games. The Knicks are looking at a four-game week, albeit with some tough matchups. Week 22: Mon BOS, Wed ORL, Fri MIL, Sat @CHA

? Mike Bibby, PG, MIA (32% owned)
Bibby is in line for plenty of playing time now that Mario Chalmers is expected to miss as much as two weeks with a knee injury. In the four games where Bibby has seen at least 25 minutes with the Heat, he's averaged 11.3 points on 57-percent shooting, 2.8 threes, 3 assists, and 0.3 turnovers in 29 minutes. Week 22: Wed @DET, Fri PHI, Sun HOU

? Jordan Crawford, G, WAS (18% owned)
Crawford is going to play a lot and have plenty of usage opportunities for as long as Nick Young is sidelined. In three starts - including Sunday - Crawford has averaged 24.3 points on 46-percent shooting (21.7 FGA), 1 three, 3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.3 assists, and 1 steal in 45 minutes. That's a thin line relative to the minutes once you get past scoring, but the upcoming schedule looks good. Week 22: Tue @POR, Wed @LAC, Fri @DEN, Sun @GSW

? Reggie Evans, PF, TOR (17% owned)
It's almost criminal that Evans is playing ahead of Ed Davis, but he's worth a look for fantasy if that's what the Raptors are going to continue to do, particularly given an ideal upcoming schedule. In five games since returning to the active roster, Evans has averaged 4.4 points on 50-percent shooting, 13.4 boards, 2.2 assists, and 1 steal in 29 minutes. Just beware of that foul shooting (52%, 4.6 FTA). Week 22: Mon @DEN, Wed @PHO, Fri @GSW, Sat @LAC

? Marco Belinelli, SG, NOR (14% owned)
Belinelli's averages since rejoining the Hornets' starting five include 14.6 points on 53-percent shooting and 2.5 threes in 29 minutes. Grab him on Wednesday and you'll get three games over week's final four days. Week 22: Thu @UTA, Fri @PHO, Sun @LAL

? Tracy McGrady, GF, DET (31% owned)
T-Mac has been good for some counting stats as a starter, averaging 11.5 points, 0.6 threes, 4.3 boards, 4.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 29 games. Look to add T-Mac on Thursday in advance of the team's weekend back-to-back. Week 22: Wed MIA, Fri @CLE, Sat IND

? Richard Hamilton, GF, DET (31% owned)
Rip is back in John Kuester's good graces and has averaged 15.7 points, 1.1 threes, 3.4 assists, and 1.4 turnovers in 29 minutes over the past seven games. We're not talking about a diverse line here, so Rip makes the most sense as a Thursday add for the team's weekend back-to-back. Week 22: Wed MIA, Fri @CLE, Sat IND

? Kendrick Perkins, C, OKC (19% owned)
Perkins has been limited by foul trouble in three games for the Thunder thus far (22 minutes, 4.3 points, 80% FG, 7.7 boards, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks, 1.7 turnovers, 4 fouls). Perkins' most redeeming quality at this point is that the minutes are going to be there if the fouls come at a slower clip moving forward. Week 22: Wed UTA, Fri MIN, Sun POR

? Trevor Booker, F, WAS (11% owned)
Booker's averages in 10 starts overall (10.7 points, 60% FG, 8.1 boards, 0.5 steals, 0.6 blocks) are a much better representation of his fantasy potential than his outburst against the Raptors on Friday (26 points, 12-15 FG, 13 boards, 2 steals, 1 block). But Andray Blatche looks doubtful for much of the upcoming week and the schedule looks good for the Wiz. Week 22: Tue @POR, Wed @LAC, Fri @DEN, Sun @GSW

Deep League Specials ?�players currently owned in five percent or less of Yahoo! leagues

? James Johnson, F, TOR (3% owned)
Toronto has the best fantasy schedule for the coming week and Johnson's numbers have been plenty useful for deep-league purposes. In 11 starts, he's averaged 7.6 points on 47-percent shooting, 4.6 boards, 2.7 assists, 1 steal, and 1.6 blocks in 25 minutes. Week 22: Mon @DEN, Wed @PHO, Fri @GSW, Sat @LAC

? Maurice Evans, GF, WAS (1% owned)
Injuries to Nick Young, Rashard Lewis, and Josh Howard have led to increased playing time for Evans and the Wiz have a favorable Week 22 schedule. Over the past two games (including Sunday), Evans has averaged 15 points on 61-percent shooting, 0.5 threes, 4 boards, and 2 steals in 31 minutes. Week 22: Tue @POR, Wed @LAC, Fri @DEN, Sun @GSW
