With John Wall expected to miss about two months with a stress injury to his left knee(back end of November/ early December), A.J. Price becomes the starting PG for the Washington Wizards. We still have Price outside our top 150 fantasy basketball players, and only recommend him as a late round sleeper for fantasy owners in deep formats looking for a sleeper PG. In 2011-12 Price averaged 12 minutes per game for the Indiana Pacers and put up 3.9 PPG, 1.4 RPG, 2.0 APG, and .5 SPG. Even if his minutes and production double this season, he is a speculative play at best. Once John Wall returns to the starting lineup, Price should be dropped in all leagues.
