Scottie Barnes Ruled Out for Third Straight Game
Toronto Raptors forward/center Scottie Barnes (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics, marking his third straight absence. Barnes hasn't played since Nov. 4 against Denver and was off to a strong start before the injury, averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals through eight games. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also sidelined, RJ Barrett should remain Toronto's primary scoring option. The Raptors play again Thursday in Philadelphia, giving Barnes another chance to return if his groin responds well enough.

Riley Greene Mentioned as a Trade Candidate
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene has been mentioned as a trade candidate by industry executives at the general manager meetings this week, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. When asked about Greene, Tigers GM Scott Harris said the Tigers will listen to trade offers, but they are not currently focused on trading the left-handed-hitting outfielder. Greene is a three-time All-Star and a Silver Slugger winner, and he had another solid season for Detroit in 2026, slashing .280/.370/.474 with a career-best .844 OPS, 21 home runs, 75 RBI, 79 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 140 games across 592 plate appearances. He had career highs in home runs (36) and RBI (111) in 157 games played in 2025, but Greene also hit just .258 (155-for-600) and led the American League with 201 strikeouts in 655 plate appearances. While he did not display as much power in 2026, he was a more patient hitter, with his .313 on-base percentage in 2025 jumping to .370 this year. Because Greene is not an excellent defensive outfielder, the Tigers have every reason to be cautious about extending a potential full-time designated hitter in the not-too-distant future.

Brandon Williams Sidelined at Least One Week
Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (hamstring) will miss at least one week after an MRI revealed a mild left hamstring strain. Williams exited Monday's 138-87 win over New Orleans in the first quarter and will be re-evaluated next week. The 26-year-old has been productive off the bench in his first season with Golden State, averaging 10.4 points and 2.3 assists in 16.1 minutes across 10 games. His absence opens more backcourt work on the Warriors' five-game road trip, with De'Anthony Melton and LJ Cryer both candidates for added minutes after Cryer scored 10 points in 20 minutes Monday.

Dohnte Meyers is Intriguing Dynasty Stash
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Dohnte Meyers has shown flashes during the first half of his rookie campaign. Through eight games, Meyers has hauled in 18 of his 26 targets for 222 receiving yards with zero touchdowns. The 26-year-old has played well at times, but his overall ceiling is limited with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins ahead of him on the depth chart. Meyers has been locked into the third wideout role with Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on the Injured Reserve. He has taken advantage of it with five receptions for 81 yards over his last two games. His upside is limited with two star receivers ahead of him, but there is some stash value in dynasty leagues with Meyers.

Trendon Watford Sidelined Again Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Trendon Watford (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to a right ankle sprain. It will be his second straight absence after he recorded five points and three rebounds in 17 minutes Sunday against the Clippers. Watford has provided steady minutes off the bench in his first season with New Orleans, including a season-high 12 points against Minnesota on Friday. His absence doesn't carry much fantasy weight by itself, but with Yves Missi (knee) also sidelined, DeAndre Jordan could work his way back into the frontcourt rotation.

Emiliano Grillo Needs A Strong Performance at Austin Championship
Emiliano Grillo finished tied for 21st at last week's World Wide Technology Championship and will now focus on preparing for this week's Austin Championship at the Fazio Canyons Course in Austin, Texas.

Billy Horschel missed the cut at last week's World Wide Technology Championship and will now focus on preparing for this week's Austin Championship at the Fazio Canyons Course in Austin, Texas.

Over the past 12 months, Horschel ranks in the 67th percentile for proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards on the fairway.

Xavier Smith a Deep-League Stash Candidate
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Xavier Smith is back with the team after being waived in early October. Following a handful of injuries, the Rams signed Smith off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad on Tuesday. The Rams are in need of bodies at wideout with Puka Nacua (knee), Davante Adams (hamstring), and Jordan Whittington (back) all sidelined right now. So far this season, Smith has only seen one target, and he hasn't taken any offensive snaps since Week 3. The 29-year-old will probably only be depth for the Rams, but he could take some offensive snaps. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to consider stashing him with the Rams having multiple receivers out.

Ashton Dulin is Worth Stashing Following Trade Deadline
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin is expected to see an increased role following Tuesday's trade deadline. The Colts made some moves at the deadline and traded both Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. Now, Dulin might be the top or second target in Indy following the trades. This season, Dulin has recorded four receptions for 84 yards with one touchdown in eight games. He has been buried on the depth chart, so his impact has been minimal. The expectation is that he's going to see increased opportunities down the stretch of the season. The 29-year-old could be worth stashing in deep leagues with his role likely expanding.

Joel Embiid Limps to Locker Room After Fall
Halftime: Celtics 62, Sixers 51.
— Adam Aaronson (@SixersAdam) November 11, 2026
Jayson Tatum and Paul George were the best players on the floor by a wide margin in that half. Joel Embiid limping to the locker room after taking a tough fall in transition in the final minute of the frame.
Yves Missi Set to Miss 10th Straight Game
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets due to a left knee contusion and bone bruise. It will be his 10th straight absence since he injured his knee on Oct. 23 against Utah. The 22-year-old opened the season with 13 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks against Indiana but has barely built on it. Karlo Matkovic has taken on a larger role in Missi's absence and scored 18 points against Minnesota on Friday, making him the more useful short-term fantasy option until Missi gets closer to returning.
