Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly dynasty league rundown! Dynasty leagues are becoming more and more popular, and we're here to keep you ahead of the game.
Each week, we'll touch on topics and players that may not necessarily be relevant in single-year formats, but they can make a splash in keeper leagues.
With that being said, let's look at the dynasty rundown for Week 18.

Guards
Jordan Poole, Golden State Warriors
The rookie has shot miserably all season, which is why his field-goal percentage is a horrid 29.5 percent on the year. He has performed better in six February games with 10.7 points, 2.7 dimes and 2.7 boards per game while shooting 41.8 percent from the floor. Poole is on borrowed time with superstar Stephen Curry (hand) on the mend. The Dubs will likely give Poole all he can handle in this evaluation period.
Anfernee Simons, Portland Trail Blazers
Simons drained six threes in the last game before the All-Star break for 22 points and seven rebounds. They Blazers lost point guard Damian Lillard (groin) for a week or two in that game. That'll put Simons in prime position in the offense if Dame misses action. Simons is worth scooping up if he was dropped after his scary fall that led to a concussion.
Forwards
Jeff Green, Houston Rockets
The veteran Green signed with the Houston Rockets during the All-Star break. He averaged 7.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 30 games with the Utah Jazz earlier this season. His usage rate may not be robust, but he'll be in a position to contribute sporadically. He's a lottery ticket for deeper leagues this late in the season.
Centers
Naz Reid, Minnesota Timberwolves
Center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is out multiple games with a mysterious wrist injury. Forward Juan Hernangomez is slated to fill in for a lot of the minutes when the team goes small, but Reid is the first big called when needed. He had 12 points and six boards in 22 minutes in the last game before the break. If he's floating out there, he's worth picking up.
