Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: 3 targets with plenty of upside

Fantasy basketball waiver wire add No. 2: Anfernee Simmons

Something has to shake in Portland after this season. If the Portland Trail Blazers break up that lethal backcourt, a replacement might already be on the roster.

Anfernee Simmons is a problem and people need to take notice. Simmons is only owned in 50.4 percent of ESPN leagues and is a great option for teams looking for a bump in scoring.

Simmons has started in place of CJ McCollum when he was hurt and now with Damian Lillard being OUT. Simmons averages over 25 fantasy points a game and has gone all the way up to a top 30 shooting guard in fantasy basketball.

In his past six games, Simmons has averaged 22.3 points, 7.5 assists, and shooting 50 percent or better from 3-point land on 8.5 3’s taken a game the past two games.
