Jeremiah Fears scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 4-5 FT) in Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Fantasy Impact
Fears not only came off the bench to lead the Pelicans in scoring Thursday, but he made an impact on the defensive end as well, coming up with two steals and two blocks. The rookie has reached double-digit points in each of his last five games, averaging 15.4 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 steals in that span.
Fears shot a season-high field goal percentage Tuesday, finishing with 21 points (9-of-12 FGs), three three-pointers, three assists, two steals, and one rebound off the bench against the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
It was his third 20-point game since moving to a reserve role in January, and the efficiency on 9-of-12 shooting makes it his most complete offensive performance of that stretch.
Jeremiah Fears finished with 13 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3PT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the Heat.
Fantasy Impact
Fears was less than efficient from the field Wednesday, but that did not stop him from stuffing the stat sheet. The rookie has turned in back-to-back strong efforts off the bench, playing 30-plus minutes in each game.
Jeremiah Fears scored 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3P, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds, three assists, and four stocks in the Pelicans’ 120-94 win over the Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Fears has been the definition of a roller coaster the last few games, putting up point totals of 9, 13, 2 and now 20 in his last four. His playmaking numbers have remained fairly steady, but he needs to stay a consistent scorer for fantasy managers to hav any confidence in starting him.
Jeremiah Fears scored 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3P, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds, two assists, and three stocks in the Pelicans' 124-114 loss to the Sixers.
Fantasy Impact
Fears had a decent game on both sides of the court when all was said and done, but he and fantasy managers alike will wish he had more than 12 points on his 12 shot attempts. He's been struggling a bit to get much going on offense, hurting his fantasy potential.
