Fantasy basketball: 5 safe late-round picks

If you're through the first several rounds of your fantasy draft and realize you've made more than a handful of risky selections, you can mitigate some of that risk by drafting safe, established fantasy producers with solid numbers in pretty much every category.

Here are five well-rounded players who can help stabilize your roster later in drafts:

PG/SG Malcolm Brogdon, Bucks

Brogdon may not be the most efficient option you think of when looking for lower-tier starting NBA guards in real life, but he's a reliable fantasy contributor thanks to his scoring and assist numbers. And with the Bucks needing as much 3-point shooting as possible, Brogdon's strong 39.5 percent mark from deep in his two NBA seasons could see an uptick in attempts.

FantasyPros ADP: 128 Overall, PG35

PG/SG/SF Josh Richardson, Heat

Richardson blossomed into a pleasant fantasy surprise last season, and he'll enter 2018-19 on a Heat roster in need of everything he can provide. With Dion Waiters' health up in the air, Miami will look to Richardson for scoring, perimeter shooting, and ball-handling duties.

FantasyPros ADP: 91 Overall, SG22

SG/SF Joe Ingles, Jazz

Ingles has become a solid NBA - and fantasy - contributor during the last two seasons thanks to his scrappy play and 3-point shooting. As an integral part of the Utah Jazz, he's also capable of going off for 20-plus-point outings with semi-regularity.

SF/PF Robert Covington, 76ers

In addition to his dual-forward eligibility, RoCo remains valuable thanks to his jack-of-all-trades production. He's perhaps the best fantasy option of the switchy 3-and-D specialists who are so coveted in the NBA today. Last season, he also notched career highs in assists and blocks per game.

theScore Rankings: 51 Overall, PF21
FantasyPros ADP: 85 Overall, PF13

C Myles Turner, Pacers

Turner's yet to put together a big season for the Pacers. Some even feel he regressed last year, but he's a reliable source of blocks and the occasional double-double. Still just 22, Turner slimmed down over the summer and is poised for a breakout at some point.
