OR you could just bet against the Raptors and lose more money!

Agreed - this has been going on all season AND last season. I don't understand how this is a surprise to anyone. He played 9 games last season. People should have known he came into the season with injury risk. H2H I stayed far away from him where he was being drafted. As a Raps fan it's good that he is taking REGULAR season games off (especially the games we have a good chance to win without him). We need him for the playoffs. This isn't gonna change - the Raptors are winning most of these games without him or without Lowry. And now they've added Gasol. They also need to do this to even have a chance at resigning him. He also did appear to tweak his knee in the last game. Hopefully he is 100% healthy for the playoffs - for your fantasy playoffs and the rest of the regular season I would expect him to continue sitting a game a week and definitely one of any b2b games.

I don't get why people are getting so worked up about this. You drafted or traded for him knowing that he played 9 games last year (needing at least 3 days off in between) and has a potentially chronic knee tendon issue. Personally, having drafted him last year I'd be happy with how well he's played and that he's played a lot more than 9 games... I wasn't drafting him where he was going this season coz you don't sit out a whole season for no reason. You also knew he was joining a deep team that was going to make the playoffs with their eyes closed. They blew out the Hawks without him while being shorthanded due to the Gasol trade. If you were expecting him to come back after a season off and play in games that they don't need him to win (or if he's banged up), then I think your expectations were a little off.

When will he become droppable on Yahoo? Any idea

He did have 5 fouls going into the 4th - playing time was looking ok. Hopefully he can get up to 25 mins a game although I'm not putting too much faith in Bud. He was playing along side Dedmon as well, so hopefully that continues.

picked him up as a streamer for 2 weeks (limited moves). Was happy with the steal and 2 blocks last game. Didn't see this one coming. As a raps fan I'm hoping he'll end up being a hold. Taken him a while to get back in the groove after the shoulder injury. The D is hard to pass up.

Possible it depends on your team build - but in the last 30 days - 11pts on 60%, decent FT% (although not great since coming back from INJ), 7.5 rbd, 2 ast, 0.7 stl and 1.6 blks, with 1.2 TO a game is pretty valuable and the upside for more mins and role that most streamers don't have. He is 87 ranked in last 30 days on yahoo 9cat - if he was making a few more of his FT he'd probably move up quite a few spots. I'd rather he be on my team - but if I could stream him in and out, I would - not an option in my 12 team league.

Watched him and honestly he looks like a lost puppy out on the court even against the second units. I think it's gonna be a while before he's a fantasy contributor especially with the ball dependant Simmons and Embiid. He hasn't really got to line enough to hurt you since most of his layups are getting blocked but once he figures out how to avoid the block then he's gotta figure out how to put those free shots in the basket. If he was using his speed to pick up a couple steals a game maybe I'd hold for a little longer but he looks lost on D too. He's a drop for me.
