Sun Apr 10 202218:15Fred Vanvleet, Pascal Siakam To Rest On Sunday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) and Pascal Siakam (rest) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The Raptors are giving some of their starters the game off with the No. 5 seed already locked up. Malachi Flynn will draw the start and have streaming appeal in deep leagues. However, Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes are the far better fantasy options. They should see a high usage without Vanvleet and Siakam on the court.

Fri Apr 8 202217:50Fred Vanvleet Won't Play On Friday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (rest) won't suit up for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The team is calling it right knee soreness, but this is basically the Raptors resting any of their banged up guys. They want to make sure Vanvleet is healthy as possible before the postseason. Malachi Flynn is likely to draw another start, while Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes should see a boost in value.

Sat Mar 26 202223:06Fred VanVleet Fine Despite Not Returning Against Pacers
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) did not return to Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. VanVleet's ailing right knee is fine. However, after the contest was suspended in the second quarter because of a fire in one of the arena's speakers, team medical personnel didn't want him back on the floor when the game resumed, primarily after cooling off during the extended pause in play. Nonetheless, with the Raptors looking to sneak into the postseason, VanVleet will likely be back in full-swing on Monday night versus the visiting Boston Celtics.

Mon Mar 21 202215:32Fred VanVleet Will Return To Action Monday
Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet has been cleared to take the floor for Monday's game against the Bulls after sitting out Sunday due to rest purposes. The league's leader at 38.2 minutes per contest, VanVleet figures to see a sizable role with Gary Trent Jr. (toe) and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) unavailable. One of just two players in the league to average at least 10 three-point attempts per game (Stephen Curry being the other), VanVleet possesses a significant DFS ceiling. In his first matchup with Chicago this year, he dished out a career-high 17 dimes.

Sun Mar 20 202219:56Fred VanVleet Not Playing Against Philly
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's Atlantic Division matchup against Philadelphia. VanVleet has been dealing with a right knee ailment for a while now, so he will get the night off to rest, especially with the Raptors having another game on Monday night versus Chicago. Nevertheless, with Malachi Flynn (hamstring) out as well, Scottie Barnes should see an uptick in production while handling most of the ball-handling duties. Of course, Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. stand to benefit as well.

Sun Mar 20 202215:01Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against 76ers
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This isn't shocking news after Vanvleet played 47 minutes during Friday's contest. Armoni Brooks started in his place, but didn't bring much to the table in terms of fantasy production. Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam will see an increase in value without Vanvleet. Both should be strong DFS options for Sunday's slate.

Wed Mar 16 202221:30Fred Vanvleet Expected To Play Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is expected to play during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was previously listed as questionable, but it sounds like he'll suit up for this game. Fantasy managers should expect Vanvleet out there unless he suffers a setback during warmups. Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is also expected to play, so fantasy managers should adjust their fantasy lineups accordingly.

Mon Mar 14 202221:26Fred VanVleet To Be Active Against Lakers On Monday
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) will play in Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was previously listed as questionable due to right knee soreness, an injury that has hampered him since February. He returned from a two-week absence last Wednesday and went on to play in two straight games before sitting out this past Saturday. With his return, Armoni Brooks will shift back to a bench role and likely see single-digits in minutes. FVV is averaging 21.3 points, 6.8 assists, 3.9 three-pointers and 1.6 steals per game on the year.

Sun Mar 13 202218:27Fred VanVleet Questionable For Monday Vs. Lakers
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is questionable for Monday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers. VanVleet has been dealing with right knee soreness since February. He returned to action this past Wednesday, but sat out the team's most recent game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. The Nuggets game was on the backend of a back-to-back set, so the team may have been playing things cautious with him. The Raptors are off on Tuesday, so it seems likely that FVV will be good to go for Monday's game, but make sure to stay tuned for further updates. If he were to sit, Scottie Barnes would again see more point guard duties while Armoni Brooks and Dalano Banton would help fill in as well.

Tue Mar 8 202214:35Fred VanVleet Expected To Return On Wednesday
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) went through a full practice on Tuesday. Expectations are that he will be good to make his return to the court for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. VanVleet has been out since February 26 due to right knee soreness. Malachi Flynn (hamstring) was filling in as the team's starting point guard before he was sidelined with his own injury. FVV should jump right back into a heavy workload upon his return. Over 52 games this year, he's averaging 21.4 points and 6.9 assists per game while playing 38.2 minutes per contest.

VanVleet is now set to miss his fifth consecutive outing because of right knee soreness, with his next chance to see the floor coming on Wednesday in San Antonio.

Fri Mar 4 202217:37Fred VanVleet Remains Sidelined For Friday’s Game
Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been deemed unavailable for Friday's contest against the Magic as he battles right knee soreness. Malachi Flynn has taken over starting point guard duties in VanVleet's absence and stands to be a solid DFS option for as long as the Raptors' leading scorer is sidelined. Toronto has been mum on when VanVleet could return to the mix. When healthy, the league's leading minutes per game producer (38.2) has put himself on pace to set new career highs with an average of 21.4 points and 6.9 assists on a nightly basis. VanVleet's next chance to take the floor comes Sunday vs. Cleveland.

Thu Mar 3 202218:02Fred VanVleet Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game
Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (knee) will be unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Pistons, marking his third consecutive absence due to a sore right knee. Malachi Flynn will remain in the starting five in place of VanVleet and stands to be a solid DFS target, having combined for 33 points and 13 assists in his last two outings. It's a particularly favorable matchup for Flynn, as Detroit has yielded the third-most DFS points per game to opposing point guards this year. VanVleet has played in just four of Toronto's past nine contests, with the team taking a conservative approach to the league's minutes per game (38.2) leader. His next chance to suit up comes Friday vs. the Magic.

Wed Mar 2 202221:48Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby Questionable For Thursday
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) and shooting guard/small forward OG Anunoby (finger) are both listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. VanVleet has missed two straight games with right knee soreness while Anunoby has been out since February 16 due to a fractured finger. Malachi Flynn has been the Raptors' starting point guard with VanVleet out and he's performed well, averaging 16.5 points and 6.5 assists per game over his last two. Meanwhile, in Anunoby's absence, we've seen Precious Achiuwa step up with some big games, though he's coming off a rough game on Tuesday. Flynn and Achiuwa are great DFS or streaming options if their positional counterparts wind up missing an extremely favorable matchup against the Pistons.

Tue Mar 1 202218:05Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby Will Not Play Tuesday
Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (knee) and shooting guard/small forward OG Anunoby (finger) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets. VanVleet, the league's leader at 38.2 minutes played per outing, has now missed four of Toronto's past eight contests. Anunoby is down for a fourth consecutive game, with the duo's absence significantly altering roles for many Raptors. Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Gary Trent Jr. all have elevated offensive upside, while Malachi Flynn stands out as a low-priced DFS asset. The next chance that VanVleet or Anunoby will have to take the floor comes Thursday vs. Detroit.

Tue Mar 1 202214:57Fred Vanvleet Questionable Against Nets
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's contest, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Vanvleet miss Tuesday's game as well. The Raptors were able to easily handle the Nets without Vanvleet on the floor. Malachi Flynn started and played well during Monday's game. He is worth considering as a streaming option, assuming Vanvleet remains out. Gary Trent Jr. and Scottie Barnes will see increased usage if Vanvleet misses both games versus Brooklyn.

Mon Feb 28 202218:54Fred VanVleet Officially Out On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. VanVleet is dealing with right knee soreness, an injury that dates back to before the All-Star break. With FVV sidelined, the Raptors are going with a starting five of Malachi Flynn, Gary Trent Jr., Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Khem Birch. The Raptors square off against the Nets once again on Tuesday. We'll see if VanVleet is able to give it a go for round two.

Mon Feb 28 202218:14Fred VanVleet Unlikely To Play Monday
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. According to Raptors reporter Michael Grange, Raptors coach Nick Nurse stated that VanVleet's right knee soreness has increased. Nurse said, "He's more sore than he was." VanVleet has been dealing with the knee soreness since before the All-Star break. He played through it in each of the team's last two games, but it sounds as if he'll be getting a breather on Monday. We'll likely see Malachi Flynn enter the starting lineup. Flynn has had a rough year, but he's worth considering as a dart throw in DFS.

Sat Feb 26 202215:18Fred Vanvleet Uncertain For Saturday
Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the same knee issue that kept him sidelined before the All-Star break. Although, Vanvleet returned on Friday, but looked at less than 100 percent during that contest. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors rest Vanvleet in the second game of this back-to-back set. Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. would be strong fantasy options without Vanvleet on the floor for Saturday's game. Fantasy managers will need to check back closer to game time for more information.
