It is certainly no surprise that he ranks fifth with 3.11 yards/route run (YPRR) against the man scheme — a 21 percent spike to his overall average. Simply not the time for Slay to be struggling or dealing with nagging injuries.” Check out Wes Huber's Advanced Matchups article ($) for Week 14 [HERE](  NBA CONTENT IS LIVE Preseason action kicks off at 7 PM ET, and projections and content are live on RG.

"You can make a legitimate case that this version of the Wizards is going to lead the league in pace for the 2020-21 season. Faster pace means more possessions, and more possessions equals more opportunities for fantasy points.

In LineupHQ, you can change a player's projected minutes to one in order to see his underlying fantasy points per minute (FPPM) projection. Editing a player's minutes will automatically recalculate that player's fpts based on his current FPPM projection, but editing fpts directly won't change projected minutes.  TWITTER POLL RESULTS Might be some recency bias here, but so tough to click Wentz right now.
