Anderson Varejao holds his own against Bulls' frontline in Monday's win

Anderson Varejao proved that Cleveland is more than just the "The New Big Three" as he scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Cavs' 107-98 victory over Chicago on Monday night. Varejao made 10-of-13 shots from the field and added two assists, two blocked shots and two steals in only 23 minutes.

Fantasy Impact:

Going against a formidable Bulls frontline that featured Joakim Noah, Paul Gasol and Taj Gibson, Varajeo demonstrated why he needs to be on your fantasy radar. Although he will most likely split time in the post with Tristan Thompson, Varejao should be a viable fantasy contributor this season because of his high-energy and his ability to finish near the basket. He is currently being drafted as the 21st center off the board and definitely has the potential to outperform that position.
