DFS fades

As part of ESPN Fantasy's efforts to give daily fantasy gamers intel on whom to target and whom to avoid in DFS, our fantasy basketball experts are here to show you which players they are building their teams around and which ones they are fading. Today's panel features picks from Tom Carpenter, Jim McCormick, Matthew Wittyngham and DraftKings analyst Peter Jennings.
