Many players who stunned us with strong starts to the season provided more evidence that they are "for real" over the weekend with further exhibits of statistical prowess. We saw at least one more impressive performance from the following most-added/discussed players:

Marreese Speights, Andray Blatche, Marc Gasol, Danilo Gallinari, Martell Webster, Grant Hill, Marvin Williams, Mike Miller, Anderson Varejao

Keep perusing every box score and err on the side of impulsiveness when deliberating whether or not to add a player you've been watching after he has another good game. With each one, more and more owners add him, and soon the players able to help you through waiver-wire acquisitions will be mostly limited to those who capitalize upon circumstance (injury, trade, coaching change, etc.) and aren't readily available. Since rotations become solidified soon and time distribution becomes consistent, it's vital to grab those who will earn more minutes than expected, monitor every injury and positional battle, and use the first few weeks of the season to get the foundation of your roster in place. The players mentioned above are going to be gone soon, if they aren't already, so don't wait for one more good game before adding one that you like or fits your needs, since it'll likely be too late after one more big night.

Looking back

• Sure, Matt Barnes played 40 minutes (12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 steals, 2 3-pointers, 2 steals), Ryan Anderson had another five 3-pointers, Dwight Howard went 14-for-16 from the stripe, and Vince Carter and Mickael Pietrus missed time, but J.J. Redick's 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 3s stole the scene for the Magic. He's marginal at best with a healthy Carter, although he proved with this game that he's finally developed some serious fantasy potential.

• Chauncey Billups was underrated in drafts again this year. Not by me, though, after realizing how difficult it is to find a "stud" in the free throw percentage category.

• O.J. Mayo scored 40 points on 17-for-25 shooting, four 3s, five boards and four assists. He was another guy who was underrated in drafts, and unless Allen Iverson averages 35 minutes per game and the entire Grizzlies backcourt stays healthy all season, logic indicates he'll take a step forward in his second season, regardless of his supporting cast. Heck, Zach Randolph notched seven assists on Sunday, so maybe Memphis is where selfish players go to be reborn.

• Jeff Teague is forgotten in a rookie point guard class with Tyreke Evans, Jonny Flynn and Ty Lawson, but he's a nice little player who has a bright future in the league and a clear line toward being the point guard of the future for the Hawks. He had 12 points, three assists and a 3-pointer in 14 minutes, and has the skill set to provide assists, steals and 3s down the road.

• Al Horford put up a bit of a clunker (six points, nine rebounds, one block), but I'm not worried in the slightest. His 2.7 blocks per game is delightful, and they trended significantly upward from year one to year two (0.9 to 1.4). I'm envisioning a huge season from Horford.

What you might have missed

• Andray Blatche went 15-for-18 for 30 points Saturday night, marking the first time in my memory in which the highlight of his game wasn't his block total. He's becoming more well-rounded, and has a chance to shine with Antawn Jamison sidelined for the next month or so. He's for real, but prepare for some forgettable nights to go along with the spectacular ones.

• Andre Iguodala proved he's going to be an all-around monster this year after two big performances (highlighted by 32 points against the Knicks), and the assists will increase as predicted with Andre Miller gone.

• Chris Kaman (22.0 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 1.8 bpg through four games) is reminding us of his insane start a couple years ago, and has everyday start value especially with Blake Griffin out for at least six weeks.

• Terrence Williams is a versatile guard (8.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.8 blocks, 1.5 3s his final season at Louisville) who will find his way onto the floor, although it'll take an injury to Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Chris Douglas-Roberts or Rafer Alston for him to have immediate, consistent value.

• Erick Dampier is the unquestioned starting center for the Mavs, and his 22.9 minutes per game from last season should be closer to 26 minutes per game, and even though the Mavs stocked up their frontcourt in the offseason, Dampier is still the most dominating presence they have in the defensive paint and is their only real option when they want to shift away from an up-tempo style. Depend on 8.5 boards and 1.5 blocks, and he's the type of above-average blocks specialist who does provide in one other category (rebounds), and since he's a vet he's much more stable.

• Delonte West (13 points, one 3-pointer, one steal) and Larry Hughes (18 points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals, one 3-pointer, one block) crept on the scene a bit late, and posted solid performances in their late debuts. They are strikingly similar fantasy players, volatile and unpredictable, yet strangely productive basically every time they're on the court. Keep a very close eye on both, and if either emerges from their team's glut of guards as one earning big minutes, add them freely. I give West an edge in value in a bubble, but I give the edge to whoever's going to earn more minutes.
