Week 6 is upon us and as fantasy managers can now understand their respective strengths and weaknesses, streaming becomes an intricate strategy. For that reason, our focus shifts to specific categories as opposed to overall value, at least in certain situations. Whether it’s targeting an offensive threat capable of delivering points and threes or a defensive-minded player who can help boost your blocks and steals numbers, narrowing your focus can prove vital as you battle for seedings. Let’s dive into six players who are currently rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues.

For the season, Sharpe is averaging 18.4 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per game. He has yet to add a consistent secondary category, making his overall appeal somewhat limited.

Across 13 games to begin the season, Sarr is averaging 9.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 combined steals and blocks. The fact he is shooting just 35.1 percent from the field should give managers hope that what we are seeing should be considered his floor. Keeping that in mind, Sarr makes for a perfect blocks streamer, with the potential to deliver a more well-rounded game at some point down the…
