TOR • Shooting Guard and Small Forward • #9
18 days ago
Back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Bulls, Barrett had a good afternoon against the Pacers. All that was missing from his stat line was a blocked shot. Unfortunately, Barrett’s fantasy value has tailed off after a hot start to the season. But, in fairness to him, there may have been too much expected of Barrett in terms of fantasy value. While days like Sunday are certainly possible, Carter is a better option in points leagues than category leagues.

Barrett was held out of Thursday’s win over the Bulls due to injury management. His return to the lineup means that Ja’Kobe Walter will head to the bench. While productive against the Bulls, Walter should only be rostered in dynasty leagues when the Raptors’ perimeter rotation is whole.

Barrett has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, but his name has also been floated in numerous trade rumors, so it’s possible that he is also on his way to another team. Regardless, he will be out on Thursday, which should lead to more minutes for Ja’Kobe Walker and Gradey Dick.

It’s Barrett’s first game with at least 20 points since January 7 against the Hornets, when he had 28 points. The 25-year-old small forward has taken a step in the right direction over the last two games, but he’s turned out to be one of the bigger busts in fantasy this season. Barrett had a top-110 ADP in Yahoo! leagues and isn’t in the top 188 in per game value over the last two weeks.

Like most of his teammates not named Brandon Ingram, Barrett had a rough night shooting the basketball. His points tally was boosted by a good night at the foul line, and fantasy managers should also benefit from the rebounds and assists. Barrett entered the season with a top-100 ADP in Yahoo! leagues, but managers may have been expecting too much from him, given the track record throughout his career.

Barrett returns to the lineup and the starting five following a two-week absence (ankle). His return will give the Raptors a boost on the offensive end as they look to win their third straight game and end Portland’s four-game win streak. Toronto is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Barrett will return from a seven-game absence to make his first appearance in two weeks. The veteran guard has been limited to 23 games this season due to injuries, but his return will provide the Raptors with another scoring threat. Toronto will look to collect its third straight win on its current trip to the West Coast.

Barrett has been sidelined for Toronto’s last seven games, but there is a chance he returns to the lineup against Portland. Jamal Shead has been the recent starter in his place and will head back to the bench when Barrett returns. However, he has been productive as a starter and is worth streaming if Barrett remains out.

Sidery also mentions that “Sacramento is eyeing RJ Barrett as the primary player in return.” We do know from previous reporting that the Raptors are open to moving some combination of Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and/or Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline. It remains to be seen if anything comes from this, but Sabonis would fit as a post offensive option alongside slashing wings like Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes.

Despite a report that Barrett hoped to play Wednesday, he’ll be sidelined for a seventh straight game. Jamal Shead should continue to see additional minutes until Barrett is back, and with Walter still out, Gradey Dick could take on an expanded role.

Counting Tuesday’s game against the Warriors, Barrett has missed the Raptors’ last six games with a sprained left ankle. However, a return to action could come shortly, with it being reported that he hopes to return on Wednesday. Jamal Shead has been Barrett’s replacement in the starting lineup, and he may hold onto the role if RJ’s under a minutes restriction.

This will be a sixth straight absence for Barrett. Jamal Shead had been starting in his stead, but he was replaced by Ochai Agbaji in their last game. Agbaji wasn’t productive, but if Shead returns to starting, he’ll have upside as a streamer.

Sunday’s game will be the fifth that Barrett has missed with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence means that Jamal Shead should remain in the starting lineup, and he’s worth a look in deep redraft leagues.

Barrett is set to miss his fourth straight game as he continues to battle an ankle injury. Averaging 19.6 points over his 23 appearances this season, he’s been one of Toronto’s most reliable scoring options. Jamal Shead will likely remain in the starting unit for Barrett on Friday when the Raptors host the Clippers.

This will be a third straight absence for Barrett, with Jamal Shead likely to remain in the starting unit in his place. Shead had 22 points and six assists in the first start, and while he didn’t score as much in the second one, he did have six assists again. He’ll hold streaming value as long as Barrett is out.

Barrett sustained an ankle injury in Friday’s loss to Boston, and it will cost him both games of the Raptors’ back-to-back set. In his absence, Ochai Agbaji, Ja’Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead should see additional run.

Barrett exited Friday’s loss to the Celtics during the latter stages of the fourth quarter. With Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes listed as questionable, the Raptors could be severely shorthanded on Sunday. Ja’Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji will see their minutes increase with Barrett unavailable.

Barrett injured his left ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday’s game and was ruled out late in the period. He finished with 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers. More will be learned about the severity of Barrett’s injury on Saturday, and the Raptors were without Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes for Friday’s game.

An early exit from Brandon Ingram (thumb) resulted in Barrett leading the way offensively for the Raptors. He fell one point shy of matching his season high for scoring, which he set four days prior to this game. Barrett’s production has been up and down since he returned from a 15-game absence due to a knee injury. However, he was able to step up on offense in this game, which certainly didn’t hurt for fantasy managers. Still, his fantasy impact will continue to be limited due to his lack of production in other categories.

Barrett took over as Toronto’s primary offensive catalyst in the second half, draining 7-of-14 shots, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, to finish with 16 points. The 25-year-old forward is still working his way back from a lingering knee injury that has been an issue since late November.

Barrett will return to the starting lineup after missing Monday’s game against the Magic. He returned from a 15-game absence the game prior to face the Warriors on the first leg of a back-to-back. In his return, he tallied 24 minutes and made contributions as a scorer, passer, and facilitator in the overtime victory. He’ll have a chance to make an impact again against a Nuggets team currently dealing with a long list of injuries.

Barrett sat out on Monday, which was the second night of a back-to-back after making his return from a 15-game absence the day before. Sandro Mamukelashvili came off the bench in his return but started with Barrett out. Either Mamu or Ochai Agbaji will come off the bench with Barrett back.

Barrett returned from a 15-game absence in Sunday’s overtime win over the Warriors, but he’ll miss the second leg of the team’s back-to-back set as he works his way back from injury. Poeltl will miss another game, and with the pair out of action, expect Ochai Agbaji and Sandro Mamukelashvili to see additional run.

Barrett, who is on a minutes restriction, will start in his return from a 15-game absence. However, it won’t be Agbaji that heads to the bench. This is likely a matchup-based decision, but it will be Sandro Mamukelashvili that will play a reserve role in this game. He should still play significant minutes off the bench.

Barrett will make his return after a 15-game absence. He will be on a minutes restriction, which will limit his production. However, his return will likely push Ochai Agbaji back to the bench. The only way it won’t is if head coach Darko Rajakovic opts to bring Barrett off the bench to ensure he’ll be available to close the game despite the restriction. That would only be temporary, and Agbaji will lose minutes regardless.

Barrett has been out since November 23, but his return isn’t far away. The 25-year-old small forward had a full practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Warriors. Even if he’s ultimately held out, his return should happen soon. If he’s available, he’ll likely be on a minutes limit.

Barrett has been out since November 23, but a return to game action may happen soon. According to Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, the forward/guard did some full-contact work on Friday and is progressing in his recovery. Barrett is now considered to be day-to-day. Ochai Agbaji should remain in the starting lineup until the Raptors clear RJ to play in games.

Barrett has not appeared in a game since November 23, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return after being cleared to resume on-court activities last week. Ochai Agbaji should remain in the starting lineup for the time being, with Jamal Shead picking up additional minutes off the bench.

Barrett has missed Toronto’s last 12 games and does not have a concrete return timeline. However, he’s progressing in his recovery, and the plan is to have the forward scrimmage live with the Raptors coaches in the coming days. If all goes well, the next step would be for him to rejoin practice. Ochai Agbaji has moved into the starting lineup and should retain that role for the foreseeable future, with Jamal Shead picking up additional minutes off the bench.

Saturday’s game will be the 12th that Barrett has missed since suffering a sprained right knee. Ochai Agbaji has been the most recent replacement in the starting lineup, sitting just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Jamal Shead, who’s rostered in seven percent of Yahoo! leagues, has also seen his minutes increase, but his production isn’t good enough to warrant rostering him in redraft leagues.
