✕ AVOID

Vandermeer posted 46 before leaving the R8 game with a hamstring injury — a fresh concern that overrides the positive return from injury earlier this season. Hamstrings in the second half of a game have a habit of keeping players out 2-4 weeks. At $253.2k with a 37 BE he had cash potential, but you cannot bank on a player who keeps pulling up hurt. Trade him out this week before his price slides.
