  • On Fire Fantasy: Must-Add Volume Plays with Upside! | Max Out Games in These Formats!
    Feb 21 2026

    3 Must-Add Week 17 Volume Plays with ROS Upside! (Points Leagues)

    In this episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne breaks down Week 17 fantasy basketball streamers — players rostered in under 30% of Yahoo leagues who have three games remaining and real opportunity in points leagues.

    Week 17 has been stretched across the All-Star break, and this extended scoring period is where fantasy basketball matchups flip. Volume matters more than upside. Production beats potential. Managers who maximize games played gain a major edge heading toward the fantasy playoffs.

    This episode focuses on three high-leverage adds based on minutes, role stability, and short-term opportunity — not blind dart throws.

    WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
    • Why volume is king in extended scoring periods
    • Which three-game players can swing your matchup
    • How injuries create short-term fantasy leverage
    • How to maximize limited roster moves before the playoffs

    Each player discussed is:
    ️ Under 30% rostered
    ️ Playing three games in Week 17
    ️ Seeing real opportunity and role-based production
    ️ Worth adding or streaming in fantasy basketball points leagues
