While not as prolific as twin brother Julian was on New Year’s Eve against the Knicks, Champagnie gave the Wizards welcome scoring off the bench on Tuesday. His four three-pointers were a season-high, and the Wizards’ wing also offered solid production in the assist and steal categories. Champagnie’s fantasy ceiling hinges on the availability of other wings, most notably Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert. Both were out on Tuesday, resulting in more opportunities for Champagnie.

Champagnie came off the bench and had a team-high 20 points in the win over the Nets on Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard hit a three-pointer in the third quarter and received a technical foul for his celebration, which drew the ire of the entire Nets bench. Otherwise, it was an uneventful 20-point blowout win. Champagnie has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Champagnie wasn’t the pick to fill in for the injured Kyshawn George on Sunday, as Tre Johnson received the starting nod, but that did not prevent him from providing value. Champagnie recorded his second double-double of the season and was an assist shy of a complete stat line. And a return to the starting lineup could be in the cards with the Wizards hosting the Suns on Monday. Khris Middleton (10/6/2/1/1) has not played both games of any back-to-backs this season, so he may be trending toward not playing. If he sits, Champagnie has a good chance of starting.

Champagnie is officially available after being listed as questionable earlier Friday. While Corey Kispert is out, the Wizards are otherwise relatively healthy on the wings, which limits Champagnie’s opportunities. There’s no need to roster him in most leagues.

Champagnie is a late addition to the injury report, and with Corey Kispert (hamstring) already ruled out, there will be extra minutes on the wing available. Tre Johnson should take on a larger reserve role, though Bilal Coulibaly and Khris Middleton should see a slight bump in minutes as well.

Champagnie pulled down 11 defensive rebounds to notch his first double-double of the young season. The 24-year-old guard has delivered fourth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging 10.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks over his last six games dating back to the start of December. He’s a decent pickup for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues as he should continue to get opportunities for the rebuilding Wizards as they deal with a plethora of injuries to key contributors.

With Khris Middleton sidelined for the second night of Washington’s back-to-back, Champagnie was able to get the starting nod. In just 24 minutes, Champagnie was able to turn in a full stat line and was one of seven Wizards to score in double figures. Middleton should be back to take on Boston on Thursday, but Champagnie will be a decent streaming option if he gets the chance to start in the future.

With Kyshawn George being cleared to play, there’s just one change to the Wizards’ starting lineup. Khris Middleton (rest) is out and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Champagnie. Cam Whitmore should also get more time off the bench, but Champagnie’s ceiling is raised due to the opportunity to start.

George is back, but Khris Middleton is out, so those two wings will swap spots. The change is Champagnie replacing Bub Carrington, who will still play a large role off the bench. Johnson will get his second straight start after starting for the first time in his career on Friday.

Making his second consecutive start for the injured Khris Middleton (knee), Champagnie hit double figures for the first time this season. In fact, the 12 points scored on Wednesday were two more than Champagnie’s total entering the game. Even if Middeton remains out, there’s no need to entertain streaming Champagnie.

Champagnie gets the starting nod for the first time this season after not playing 10 minutes in a game yet this season. Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are also candidates to take on larger roles with Khris Middleton (elbow) sidelined.

The double-double streak stayed alive for Champagnie as he finished with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds for a fourth-straight game on Friday. This tied his season-high for rebounds and was his highest-scoring performance since he scored 31 points in a loss to the Knicks in December. Champagnie should continue to play a significant role for Washington in their season finale in Miami on Sunday, though it’s unclear what his role will look like next year with a healthy Wizards team.

Champagnie had a big night on the glass, with the 13 rebounds falling one shy of his season-high. The Wizards wing has recorded five double-doubles this season, and he is ranked just outside the top 100 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. For fantasy managers whose leagues are active during Week 23, the Wizards play four games, starting with the Pacers on Tuesday. Champagnie is worth a look in deep leagues, as he should remain in the starting five.

Champagnie stepped in for the injured Kyshawn George and acquitted himself well in Philadelphia. He recorded his third double-double of the season, and the 18 points are the most Champagnie has scored in a game since December 28. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has offered top 100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Champagnie will be worth a look in more leagues if George remains out with his sprained ankle.

AJ Johnson, Bub Carrington and Tristan Vukcevic all started against the Jazz on Wednesday, but Champagnie will return to the starting unit to better match up with Orlando, and George and Middleton will also be back from injury. Johnson, Carrington and Vukcevic should still play significant roles off the bench.

Champagnie got another start in place of Bilal Coulibaly, who is now expected to be sidelined until mid-April at the earliest with a hamstring strain. Washington may not be set on Champagnie as a starter, but as of now, he seems like the Coulibaly replacement. He wasn’t great as a starter on Tuesday (5/8/1/1/1), but he can be productive in an increased role, which makes him worth considering as an option during “silly season” as long as he is starting. Washington will wrap up the week in Denver on Saturday.

Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) is out, but Middleton is back. Still, Champagnie will replace rookie Bub Carrington in the starting lineup. Carrington should still play a significant role, but his production has been limited when he comes off the bench.

Washington is making a long-term commitment to Champagnie, who is averaging 7.5 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 50.7 percent from the field this season. The former UDFA bounced around from the Raptors, Celtics, and Heat before catching on with the Wizards in early 2024. Champagnie maintains little fantasy value at this time, but the Wizards are hoping he can become a solid three-and-D wing as he hits his prime.
