Garbage time.
It’s the scenario in which a game has become a blowout and the final result has been determined, but there’s still time left on the clock. The defense for the winning team starts playing more conservatively, which can lead to “garbage time points” for the trailing offense. Those points are meaningless as it pertains to the game’s final outcome … but they still count just like “regular points” in our fantasy matchups.
While managers shouldn’t be building their fantasy rosters based on acquiring the players who could accumulate garbage-time points on a regular basis, it’s good to know which players might often be in negative game scripts and could accumulate late points in games that are already out of reach. To find out that information, let’s look at the lowest projected team win totals on SI Sportsbook.
