It's OK if you didn't know who Mitchell Robinson was back in December or January; the Knicks' rookie second-rounder out of Western Kentucky was a relatively obscure NBA backup for much of the season.
Then February happened.
In 11 games, the 7-foot-1 center averaged 11.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.2 blocks while making 71.6 percent of his shots, and he did it all while playing just 23.1 minutes a game.
Robinson vaults all the way up to No. 47 this week -- as he is clearly making the impact of a top-50 fantasy player -- with major contributions in a number of key categories. If you were proactive enough to grab him off the waiver wire in your league, that move is looking like one of the best of the season.
Chicago's Lauri Markkanen (28) is another big mover this week after putting up an amazing month of February as well (26.0 PPG, 12.2 RPG, 2.4 APG, 2.4 3PG). Markkanan does a lot of the same things that Kristaps Porzingis does, minus the blocked shots, and for those already looking ahead to next season, that duo would make for an interesting frontcourt pairing on fantasy rosters. Maybe throw in a dash of Brook Lopez for good measure, and you'll corner the market on 7-foot 3-point shooters.
Others to jump in the rankings include Anthony Davis (41) -- who I had moved all the way down to 50 last week -- as well as the red-hot Trae Young (43). Another is the suddenly surging Marc Gasol (45) -- another player I moved way down last week before he started getting more minutes with his new team in Toronto.
Julius Randle (53), Paul Millsap (54) and Derrick Favors (69) are three others who are playing excellent basketball.
Among the notables to slide in the rankings this week are the likes of Draymond Green (56), the injured Marvin Bagley III (62) and Domantas Sabonis (80), as well as Larry Nance Jr. (93), Derrick Rose (96) and Ricky Rubio (98).
Joining the rankings this week is Miami big man Kelly Olynyk. The Gonzaga product was at the end of the bench for a while this season, but he's back in the Heat rotation and putting up impressive numbers. After going for 19.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.8 APG and 2.4 3PG during his past five games, Olynyk comes in at No. 106 this week.
Meanwhile, talented Grizzlies rookie Jaren Jackson Jr. drops out of the rankings due to the quad injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Here is a look at the rest of my top-150 roto rankings:
Note: These rankings reflect the expected player value for the remainder of this season.
