Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we pose a question to a rotating panel of ESPN fantasy basketball experts to gauge their thoughts on a hot topic. Todays contributors are ESPN Fantasys Joe Kaiser, Jim McCormick and Kyle Soppe.Which player should fantasy owners trade now, because his value has already peaked for the season?Joe Kaiser: This answer hurts, and it will require the ultimate bravery test, but if youre ever going to sell high on Anthony Davis, this is the time. The Brow has been phenomenal from the first game on this season, putting up MVP-caliber numbers: 31.6 PPG, 11.4 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.7 SPG, 2.8 BPG, 0.6 3PG, 50.3 FG%, 82.3 FT%. He leads the league in points and blocks per game and is sixth in rebounds per game. More importantly, the oft-injured big man has played in all but one of the Pelicans 22 games.It will take real guts to trade a player like this, but keep in mind that theres a good chance Davis wont be a factor by the time your team is in the playoffs, especially if he continues to lead the league in minutes per game as he does right now, logging 38 minutes a night. Keep in mind that never in his first four NBA seasons did he play more than 68 games, and if you can get two top 15 players for him right now -- were talking a Kemba Walker and Karl-Anthony Towns type of trade -- then you probably should think long and hard about unloading one of the games most talented, and fragile, players.Kyle Soppe: I am all for trusting the process when it comes to building a fantasy team... and that is exactly why I am selling my Joel Embiid shares sooner rather than later. Look, hes a fun own, I get it. But he is averaging more 3-pointers made this season than Jamal Crawford (in fewer minutes), more blocks than Andre Drummond and Pau Gasol combined and more points per minute than Damian Lillard. Cmon now. Lets not forget that Embiid could hit a wall given his youth (22 years old) or the fact that he is a 7-footer who has already had foot surgery.The man is a beast, no one doubts that, but his minutes are being watched carefully and hes not playing back-to-backs, so when the statistical regression comes...and it will... it will impact fantasy owners in a major way as he doesnt get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to sheer volume. Embiids usage rate should dip in the near future, something that I believe lands him outside of our top 50 (on a per game basis, even further in cumulative stats) when all is said and done.Jim McCormick: Im in a competitive rotisserie league and was recently offered Andrew Wiggins for Clint Capela. This spurred me to dive deeper into Wiggins numbers to produce a reasonable response (I eventually declined). Cursory research reveals Wiggins is currently 96th on the Player Rater, well below Capelas perch at No. 51 on our standard deviation model. The Player Rater isnt an all-encompassing evaluation tool, but it does offer insights into the diversity of a given players production. Since the index values statistical balance, Wiggins top-heavy profile is punished. Which is to say Wiggins provides a bevy of points via a volume of field goal and free throw attempts, but isnt helpful in defensive metrics, assists or rebounds relative to his position.Wiggins point production is valuable, but limited statistical diversity caps his ceiling in category-driven formats. Id look to market Wiggins if I had shares given the appeal of his scoring production and the value of his brand. The 3-point efficiency from early in the season is crashing, as hes shooting 21.6 percent from beyond the arc during his past 10 games after hitting an unsustainable 52.3 percent from this range during his first 11 outings. For a player with his speed and wingspan, only 0.6 steals in 36.6 minutes is glaringly light. Wiggins is certainly a talented prospect who can surge defensively in seasons to come and is only growing as a scorer, but hes currently somewhat hollow in fantasy regards and will likely still net you a sizable return at the moment. That is, unless, you offer him to me.Nike Vapormax Herr . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. Nike Air Max Plus Tn Dam .

JOHNS, N.COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri coach Barry Odom has finally reached a milestone that eluded him for months.Drew Lock completed 22 of 37 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns as Missouri defeated Vanderbilt 26-17 Saturday, marking Odoms first Southeastern Conference win.It marks Missouris first SEC victory since Locks starting debut, a 24-10 victory over South Carolina on Oct. 3, 2015.Im happy for our seniors and happy for our team, said Odom, who played linebacker for Missouri from 1996-99. Theyve invested a lot and it hasnt been pretty, but they continue to do everything that Ive asked them to do. Im glad they finally got a little bit of success for working through that.Each team opened with a three-and-out before Damarea Crocketts 6-yard touchdown run gave Missouri (3-7, 1-5) a lead it would never relinquish. Crockett had 20 carries for 154 yards and the touchdown.Hes got a bright future, Odom said of Crockett. We blocked well from the point of attack and Damarea, for a freshman, hes gotten better every week. He works that way in practice.JMon Moore caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including an 82-yard score with 9:50 remaining in the second quarter, and Johnathon Johnson added four catches for 73 yards.Kyle Shurmur was 17 of 29 for 252 yards and two interceptions, one of which Missouri cornerback Aarion Penton returned 19 yards for a touchdown, the second of his career.I knew I had safety help, so I could go ahead and be aggressive on any underneath routes, Penton said in describing the interception. I just used my keys, saw the three-step read, saw that the receivert was running a slant, and I just stepped in front of him and made a play.C.J. Duncan caught five passes for 89 yards and Caleb Scott had three catches for 63 yards.Darius Sims rushed seven times for 86 yards, Khari Blasingame had 14 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown, and Ralph Webb added 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.Missouri gained 481 yards despite a 13-minute differential in time of possession. Its the Tigers highest yardage total in SEC play since Nov. 15, 2014 when they gained 587 yards en route to a 34-27 victory over Texas A&M.Vanderbilt (4-6, 1-5) punnted three times in the fourth quarter and was held to -14 yards.dddddddddddd.Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said his team struggled to get defensive stops for multiple reasons.I think it was a combination of rush and coverage, said Mason, who also serves as defensive coordinator for the Commodores. To be honest, a couple of times they made some good throws versus tight coverage. A couple of times the coverage didnt necessarily finish in the way were supposed to, and the pass rush didnt get home. Thats something Im going to have to get back, look at, and fix quickly because we need to move on.KICKING CONUNDRUMMissouri missed out on at least eight points due to place-kicking issues. Freshman Tucker McCann missed back-to-back extra point attempts in the first half before missing field goal attempts from 55 and 21 yards. Following a 4-yard touchdown pass from Lock to Moore with 8:39 remaining, Odom called on Ben Tesson, who drilled the attempt, giving the Tigers a two-score lead.TAKEAWAYSVanderbilt: The Commodores struggled on third down, converting on just 3 of 14 attempts, while also failing their only fourth down conversion attempt. Missouri converted 10 of 19 third down attempts, including 7 of 11 in the second half.Thats on us as players, Shurmur said of Vanderbilts third down struggles. The coaches had a great game plan, put us in a great positon the whole entire week, and its on us as players to do better on third down especially.Missouri: The Tigers brought the pressure defensively, racking up six sacks and nine tackles for losses. Charles Harris made eight tackles -three of them for losses -- 2 1/2 sacks and a forced fumble, and Marcell Frazier added 1 1/2. Vanderbilt amassed 411 yards, the lowest opponent yardage total Missouris defense has allowed in six games.UP NEXTVanderbilt: The Commodores host Ole Miss (4-5, 1-4 SEC) next Saturday. The Rebels defeated Vanderbilt 27-16 last season in Oxford.Missouri: The Tigers visit Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 SEC) next Saturday. The Volunteers defeated Missouri 19-8 last season in Columbia. ' ' '
