While Coward’s final stat line lacked defensive stats, the rookie did record his second double-double in three games and fifth of the season. Given how well he began the season, most fantasy managers understood that Coward’s production would cool down eventually. Over the past two weeks, he’s ranked just outside the top-200 in fantasy value. However, Coward still offers a higher ceiling than Jaylen Wells, who finished Friday’s defeat with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers.

Coward was dominant on Friday for the suddenly surging Grizzlies, who have won six of their last eight games. He used efficient scoring to tally his third 20-point outing of the season, but his most noteworthy contributions came on the glass, where he led all rebounders on the night en route to a new career-high. The rookie forward also tied a career-high in assists before finishing with his fourth double-double of the season. He continues to be a bright spot for the Grizzlies and should remain a productive player in fantasy leagues moving forward.

Regarding fantasy value, Coward has been one of the most productive rookies in the NBA. While his value has taken a slight hit recently due to a dip in defensive production, the rookie guard continues to provide solid offensive value. With Ja Morant sidelined, there’s more room for Coward to “spread his wings” offensively. He was efficient on Thursday, scoring 19 points for the second consecutive game. He should be rostered in more than 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, as he currently is.

Coward struggled in the first half, scoring just three points. The rookie was far better after halftime, finishing with his third double-double. Coward has hit double figures in scoring in six straight games, and he’s still providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. He did not do much outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers on Tuesday, but the ability to change that is there with Ja Morant out for at least two weeks.

Coward was initially listed as doubtful for this game, but he was able to play and make the first start of his career. It has been an excellent rookie year for him thus far, but his first start was underwhelming. He spent 24:32 on the court, which was actually the fewest minutes he has played since the third game of the season. The rotations in Memphis have been frustrating, but moving into the starting lineup is a good opportunity for Coward, who is available in 63 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Coward was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day after initially being tagged as doubtful. He’ll not only suit up, but he’ll make the first start of his career, which will push Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the bench. Edey is also starting in his first appearance this season, which will push Jock Landale to a reserve role.

Coward was initially doubtful for Saturday’s game with a sore right foot. With his status upgraded to questionable, the rookie’s chances of playing have increased. Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson are the players who stand to benefit if Coward doesn’t play, but neither is worth streaming while in a reserve role.

Coward has gotten off to a strong start to his career, but he could miss a game for the first time this season. His expected absence should open the door for GG Jackson and Vince Williams Jr. to take on extra minutes, though that won’t make either worth streaming.

Coward struggled from deep in his first trip to Madison Square Garden, shooting 0-of-5 from beyond the arc. However, the rookie guard provided solid value in assists, steals and blocked shots. Coward’s ability to fill a stat line has made him one of the more valuable rookies in fantasy basketball, as he’s providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats and top-75 value in eight-cat. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coward deserves more consideration, even with the Grizzlies only playing twice more during Week 4.

Like many of his teammates, Coward struggled inside the arc on Sunday, shooting 1-of-6. However, he made half of his six three-point attempts and was active on the boards, recording his second double-double. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coward is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. The negative in the short term is that Memphis’ three-game Week 4 starts with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, which may limit Coward’s value. However, he should have staying power in fantasy basketball throughout the season.

Coward finished Friday’s win as one of two Grizzlies to reach the 20-point mark. His scoring total came by way of efficient shooting and solid production from beyond the arc. And a second consecutive game with at least nine rebounds nearly landed the rookie his second double-double of the season. Coward continues to impress and could eventually make his way to the starting unit if he remains productive.

Coward has cooled off a bit after a scorching hot start to his career, but he has still been solid off the bench. He played a career-high 31 minutes in this game, which was more than both Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (25) and Jaylen Wells (21). Wells had a rough shooting night, but this is a situation worth monitoring. Coward could make a move into the starting unit if he keeps playing this well.
