McCain is officially available to play for the first time this season. While he’ll provide depth off the bench, the second-year guard will be under a minutes restriction. Rookie VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes should be fine with regard to playing time, but Justin Edwards could fall out of the rotation entirely.

McCain is on track to make his season debut against Chicago, but it’s unclear how much playing time he’ll get and what his usage will look like after not playing an NBA game since last December. As he ramps up, playing time for Quentin Grimes could recede, but Grimes has played too well to be phased out of the rotation entirely.

George may not be an explosive scorer, but his ability to put up numbers in various categories makes him an excellent asset in category leagues. He recorded a complete line against the Knicks, including three steals and three three-pointers, while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Will George remain a third-round player in 12-team leagues for the entire season? We’ll see. But there’s no denying he has the skill set to be a high-value player in fantasy basketball.

Coulibaly has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats through three games, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 143. Whether he can sustain this production level will depend on Coulibaly’s field-goal shooting. He’s making 42.7 percent of his attempts thus far, including a 3-of-10 night against the Magic on Saturday. Coulibaly’s rostered percentage has more than doubled since his season debut on October 30, and it may increase even more with the Wizards playing three more games during Week 3.

While he struggled to corral Karl-Anthony Towns defensively, that didn’t prevent Sarr from putting up a solid stat line. The only thing missing from his line was a three-pointer, but the second-year center has taken fewer of those shots thus far to excellent effect. Sarr is shooting 52.7 percent from the field, a significant reason why he’s providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 83, many expected Sarr to be a top-100 player this season. He’s exceeded those expectations thus far.

Barlow’s right elbow laceration may not be considered “super serious” in the words of 76ers head coach Nick Nurse. Still, he hasn’t appeared in a game since Philadelphia’s October 25 win over the Hornets. His absence has freed up opportunities for Jabari Walker, who has started three of the 76ers’ last four games.

Grimes had one of his best all-around games as a pro on Sunday, dishing out a career-high 13 assists while scoring efficiently. Despite coming off the bench, he’s providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, far exceeding the expectations of most fantasy managers. Grimes has benefited from the absences of Jared McCain and Paul George, so it’s fair to question his fantasy value once the 76ers are whole. However, they aren’t right now, so Grimes should be rostered in some 12-team leagues.

Maxey has scored at least 26 points in all six games he’s played this season, averaging 33.7 per game. While some believed the 76ers’ point guard was capable of providing first-round value in standard leagues, Maxey’s been even better than that. He goes into Week 3 providing top-5 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Joel Embiid’s playing time being managed and Paul George (knee) still out, the 76ers need Maxey to produce at an elite level. He’s been up to the task.

Oubre put on a show during the first quarter of Sunday’s game, scoring 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. Cam Thomas was guarding him for most of that run, and Thomas has never been known for his defensive ability. Oubre was comparatively quiet for the rest of the night, but the damage had been done. The only negative was that he tweaked his ankle during the second half. While Oubre could have returned, there was no need to risk it with the 76ers up big. The “Tsunami Papi” continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball, providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. The 76ers play four games during Week 3, and Oubre’s value will remain high for as long as Paul George and Jared McCain are out.

Middleton is dealing with a left elbow contusion, hence his presence on the Wizards’ injury report for Monday. If the veteran forward cannot play, Bub Carrington may return to the starting lineup.

The 76ers are without Joel Embiid for Sunday’s game, as the team is looking to get their star center additional time off whenever possible.

Sarr had a relatively quiet night on the offensive end of the floor, but the rebounds and blocks were useful. Through six games, the second-year center is shooting 53.4 percent from the field, a significant improvement on his 39.4 mark as a rookie. Sarr’s three-point attempts have decreased, and he’s been more accurate with the ones he’s taken. He’s shooting 42.9 percent on 2.8 attempts per game after making 30.8 percent of his 5.1 attempts per game as a rookie. Can Sarr maintain top-50 value for the entire season? We’ll see. But there’s no denying that he’s headed in the right direction. The Wizards play four games during Week 3, starting with the Knicks on Monday.

George, who’s rostered in 58 percent of Yahoo! leagues, continues to exceed expectations regarding fantasy value. He’s ranked within the top-50 in nine-cat formats, and the second-year wing still hasn’t hit his ceiling. George is shooting 62.5 percent from the foul line and averaging 3.3 turnovers per game, negatively impacting his nine-cat value. However, even for those who may be skeptical about George’s ability to sustain this production over 82 games, he’ll continue to figure prominently in the Wizards’ rotation. Hop onto the bandwagon before it’s too late.

Embiid remains restricted to 20-25 minutes per game, and the 76ers also give him the occasional night off to help manage the 7-footer’s workload.

Maxey had scored at least 39 points in three of the first four games of the season, but attacked the Celtics in a different way on Friday. The 24-year-old point guard took fewer shots than usual, but had 14 assists. He’s had at least nine assists in three of the last four games. Maxey looks like he’s the 76ers’ primary offensive force on any given night.

Embiid scored at least 20 points for the third consecutive game. The 31-year-old center is only playing about 20-25 minutes per game in an effort to keep him fresh later in the season. Embiid can’t give fantasy managers those ceiling games they’re used to without playing more minutes, but he’s certainly been effective when he’s been on the floor so far this year.

McCollum shot the ball well on Thursday, making five of his eight three-point attempts. Unfortunately, he did not provide much value outside the points and three-pointers. More important than that was McCollum getting untracked shooting-wise, as he’s making just 36.4 percent of his attempts from the field. That’s why he’s ranked outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats.

Two nights removed from putting up 23 shots in an overtime loss to the 76ers, Sarr only took 11 shots against the Thunder. While there was some foul trouble for the second-year center to navigate, the Wizards need to make a more concerted effort to get him the ball than they did on Thursday. Especially with Bilal Coulibaly returning from an offseason thumb injury on Thursday. Washington ends its week with a home game against the Magic on Saturday.

Coulibaly made his season debut on Thursday, and the time off impacted his playing time. The third-year wing only played 24 minutes against the Thunder, but he was productive when on the floor. Coulibaly’s return meant Bub Carrington came off the bench, and he finished with three points, four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes. While Coulibaly’s rostered percentage (17 percent) will increase, Carrington’s (14 percent) may decrease due to the role change and his limited production.

Coulibaly, who suffered a thumb injury that required surgery while playing for France at EuroBasket, will make his season debut on Thursday.

McCain has been sidelined since having surgery in September to fix a torn UCL in his right thumb. He was able to participate in a team shootaround earlier this week and has now progressed to practicing. The return timeline for him was four-to-six weeks, and he has already eclipsed the four-week mark, so he could be back on the court in the next few days if he responds well to practice. What that means for the minutes that VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes have been getting will be interesting to see.

Serving as Alex Sarr’s backup is not a good place for any post player in terms of fantasy value. However, Bagley played well against the 76ers, providing everything but a three-pointer in the overtime defeat.

George has been on a roll to begin the season, much to the delight of those who believed he could break out in fantasy basketball. He’s scored 20 points or more in three of Washington’s first four games, except Sunday’s foul-plagued loss to the Hornets.

Averaging 4.3 assists per game entering Tuesday, McCollum notched a season-high in that category against the 76ers. In 56 games for the Pelicans last season, the veteran guard recorded at least seven assists on eight occasions. Bub Carrington (10/5/5/1/1 with two three-pointers) runs the show, but McCollum has the ball in his hands plenty. The lingering concern for fantasy managers is the potential for a late-season shutdown, but there’s little need to lose sleep over that in late October.

While he hasn’t been as prolific a scorer as he was late last season, Grimes has reached double figures in all four games for the 76ers.

While Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe (14/6/4/1 with four three-pointers) have received most of the attention for Philadelphia’s 4-0 start, Oubre’s production has been valuable. He’s scored 17 points or more in three of the four games, recording his second consecutive double-double on Tuesday. The eventual return of Paul George (knee) may impact Oubre’s usage, but he’ll remain a fixture in the starting lineup. He’s only rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues. And with the Sixers playing twice within the final three days of Week 2, Oubre makes for a solid add before Friday’s games.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Magic, Embiid was supposed to be on a limit of 20 minutes. He played 23 against the Wizards, and the production was solid in a case of good news for fantasy managers. Embiid grabbed his 5,000th career rebound during the overtime victory and was a steal shy of a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. While playing time may concern Embiid managers, Philadelphia’s goal is to do what it can to ensure he’s healthy for the stretch run.

Sarr was rolling to start Tuesday’s game, finishing the first half with 20 points and seven rebounds. While the second-year pivot finished with his first career 30-point double-double, the production tailed off after halftime. That’s the next step for Sarr: being consistently dominant. He held his own against the 76ers’ post players, including Joel Embiid. While the Wizards won’t be pleased with letting a double-digit lead slip away, they have to be encouraged by what Sarr did. And the same goes for fantasy managers who have him rostered.

Maxey has now scored at least 39 points in three of his first four games, and the 76ers are off to a 4-0 start. Asked to take on a larger leadership role, he has answered the call. Maxey attempted a season-high 16 free throws while shooting 44 percent from the field, and this was his first double-double of the season.

Maxey’s early-season hot streak continued in this one as he put the metaphorical exclamation point on Philadelphia’s impressive win by scoring on three consecutive possessions in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter to eclipse the 40-point plateau for the second time in three games to open the season. He poured in 22 first-half points, knocking down eight of his first 18 shots from the field and was even better down the home stretch to help Philadelphia hold off a late comeback effort by the Magic.

He was extremely efficient overall, shooting just under 59 percent from the field.

One of the priority waiver wire adds during the opening week of the fantasy basketball season, Grimes saw expanded minutes with Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) out. He poured in 11 first-half points, thanks in large part to a trio of three-pointers. He was fouled on a three-point attempt with just under five minutes left in the contest and sank all three free throws after the Magic cut the lead down to just two points with a late rally. He’s done a nice job stuffing the stat sheet in the early stages of the regular season, which gives him relevance for fantasy purposes until George gets back on the court.
