Roto-league rankings and reaction

So much has happened in the last week that dramatically impacts the fantasy basketball world, starting with the season-ending Achilles injury to last week's No. 1, DeMarcus Cousins, and the news that John Wall requires left knee surgery and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.

That alone changes everything, from James Harden moving back to No. 1 in the rankings to Anthony Davis (3) and Bradley Beal (25) also getting a fantasy boost with higher usage in their future.

The big mover in the Blake Griffin-to-Detroit deal isn't Griffin -- whose value remains similar -- or even the two big names coming to the Clippers in the deal, Tobias Harris and Avery Bradley. It is DeAndre Jordan, who already is pulling down 14.8 rebounds a game this season and stands to get even more without Griffin next to him.

Jordan moves up to No. 48, and it's worth keeping a close eye on his status in Los Angeles, as both he and Lou Williams (28) are expected to be among the biggest names on the trade market leading up to the Feb. 8 deadline.

We also have the return of a familiar face, as Milwaukee's Jabari Parker is set to make his 2017-18 season debut Friday against the New York Knicks. Parker is coming off a second ACL injury but showed great promise in 51 games before the injury last season, averaging a career-high 20.1 points in 33.9 minutes.

Parker will take some time to settle in, but I have him aggressively ranked at No. 106, one spot ahead of the inconsistent Brandon Ingram. His presence in the Bucks' lineup will cut into the production of the many other fantasy options around him, from Giannis Antetokounmpo to Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe.

The Greek Freak moves down one spot to No. 4 this week, leapfrogged by Davis of the Pelicans, while Middleton falls three spots to 29. Bledsoe's value remains intact and he comes in at 44.

Other notable movers this week include Jrue Holiday (21), who now becomes the second option on the Cousins-less Pelicans' offense and has averaged 19.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 6.4 APG and 1.2 SPG during his past five games. Those numbers stand a good chance of rising during the final months of the season.

Lonzo Ball (102) slides down as he continues to remain out of the Lakers' lineup while recovering from an MCL sprain, while the impressive play of San Antonio's second-year point guard Dejounte Murray elevates him to No. 89.
