Like Danilo Gallinari, Channing Frye is offically "en fuego". (P.A. Molumby/NBAE/Getty Images)

Again, in the first couple weeks of the season, sometimes it’s all about being the first in line.  I’ll do this more regularly (probably every Sunday/Wednesday) during the season, but I just wanted to point out a few impressive lines so you can snatch these guys while they’re still around (especially if there’s an “again” next to their name).

Note: Danilo Gallinari and Brandon Jennings are not on this list because they didn’t play Sunday.

Channing Frye

A day after dropping 6 threes against the Warriors — yes, even though it’s against GS, the stats still count — Frye dropped 6 more on the T-Wolves.  (Yes, even though it’s against MIN, the stats still count.)  Frye was a popular item in many drafts after a solid pre-season, and even though his production will likely take a (small?) hit when Robin Lopez returns, Frye has clearly earned a place in the rotation.  And he’s only owned in 52% of Yahoo leagues right now.

Ryan Gomes

Gomes finally had a big game, putting up 23 and 15 with 2 threes/steals.  Sure it was against the Suns, and the Wolves are of course without Kevin Love, but sometimes we all just need a running head start to get going, right?  (Currently owned in 29% of Yahoo leagues.)

Grant Hill (again)

Even with Jason Richardson returning from a 2-game suspension, Hill put up 23 and 10 with 1/1/1.  Again, he should be rostered in most league formats.  (Currently owned in 66% of Yahoo leagues.)

Marc Gasol (again)

Okay, so he’s already owned in 78% of Yahoo leagues, but he’s playing like he should be owned in all of them right now.  He put up 20 and 11 in his last game.

Peja Stojakovic

Peja had his biggest game of the season, knocking down 6 treys against the Celtics Sunday night.  I personally think there are better options out there (like anyone above), but if you need 3’s you could do worse.  (Currently owned in 60% of Yahoo leagues.)

J.J. Redick

I really don’t feel like checking all of his career game logs, but Redick may have had the best game of his career on Sunday, posting 27, 6, and 5 with 5 threes in Vince Carter’s absence.  If Carter’s injury lingers, Reddick is definitely worth a short term rental if you don’t have to sacrifice too much.  Yes, there are a lot of “if’s” in that sentence.  (Currently owned in 6% of Yahoo leagues.)

Ryan Anderson

And speaking of short term rentals filling in for injured/suspended Magic with long term potential, Anderson had his third consecutive solid game on Sunday, chipping in 5 threes against the Raptors.  Plus, he’s C-eligible in Yahoo leagues.  (Currently owned in 15% of Yahoo leagues.)

Other guys to keep an eye on (that may not have played Sunday):

Marreese Speights, Courtney Lee, Corey Brewer, Larry Hughes, DeJuan Blair, Erick Dampier
