Fri Feb 23 | 19:14 | RJ Barrett Ruled Out For Friday's Game |
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors have decided to take a cautious approach after Mitchell played 29 minutes during their last game. As a result, Jordan Nwora will move into the starting five for the second straight night. A move to the starting unit will boost his fantasy value but there should still be better options available on a 10-game slate. Bruce Brown should have an increased role off the bench with Barrett sidelined. |

Tue Feb 13 | 23:07 | RJ Barrett Uncertain For Wednesday Evening |
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett may miss Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. The 23-year-old didn't practice on Tuesday because of a personal issue and carries a questionable tag heading into Wednesday's contest. Barrett has played well since his trade from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 20.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 18 appearances with the Raptors. He's missed some time due to injury. But overall, fantasy managers are pleased with his production. Nonetheless, if Barrett isn't available in the final game heading into the All-Star break, Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick should benefit. |

Wed Feb 7 | 19:03 | RJ Barrett Returning On Wednesday |
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) is back in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Barrett is back in action after sitting out of Monday's contest due to knee swelling. There is no word on Barrett being limited, so he figures to play his normal role in the rotation. Bruce Brown will head back to the bench where he'll have less streaming appeal with the second unit. |

Wed Feb 7 | 16:11 | RJ Barrett Not Seen On Injury Report |
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (rest/knee) isn't spotted on the team's injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Toronto kept Barrett out of Monday's blowout defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans to manage the swelling in his left knee, but they'll have him available on Wednesday for the final outing of their six-game road trip. The 23-year-old Canadian swingman has been very productive since landing north of the border on New Year's Day, averaging 21.1 points on 55.1% shooting from the floor, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.4 triples covering 14 games in Raps digs. Although Barrett remains a points-league fantasy preference, he belongs in all season-long lineups versus a Hornets squad that sits dead last in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (50.5%). |

Mon Feb 5 | 16:41 | RJ Barrett Sitting Out Against Pelicans |
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) will sit out Monday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. After logging 43 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Barrett will catch a breather for the second part of a back-to-back and the fifth outing of Toronto's six-game road trip. Although Barrett also missed the prior three contests due to swelling in his left knee, we would expect him to return to the Raptors starting group for Wednesday's action against the Charlotte Hornets. After tallying just two points from the bench on Sunday, Bruce Brown is most likely heading back into the first unit against New Orleans. Covering four games as a starter north of the border, Brown is averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 triples, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 32.9 minutes. |

Sun Feb 4 | 18:09 | RJ Barrett Available Against OKC |
Toronto Raptors forward R Barrett (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game versus OKC. The former Duke Blue Devil has played well since being acquired from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 21 points in 13 appearances with Toronto. He's missed the last three games because of a knee issue. However, he's available and can be re-inserted back into fantasy lineups. With Immanuel Quickley good to go after recently returning from a three-game layoff of his own, Dennis Schroder, Gradey Dick, and Gary Trent Jr. should see fewer minutes. |

Fri Feb 2 | 18:54 | RJ Barrett To Remain Out On Friday |
Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling. His absence means that Dennis Schroder figures to once again move into the starting unit. Last game, Schroder finished with 16 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Barrett sidelined for at least one more game. |

Fri Feb 2 | 10:53 | RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable Against Rockets |
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) is still dealing with some swelling in his knee and is in danger of missing a third consecutive game. He's officially listed as questionable ahead of their Friday night contest against the Houston Rockets. Barrett has experienced some renewed fantasy relevance ever since getting traded to Toronto. In his short time with the Raptors, he's averaging 21.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.4 made threes, and 1.8 turnovers per game. If he's able to play, he should jump right back into the starting role. On the other hand, if he's unable to suit up, Gary Trent Jr. should remain in the starting lineup while Bruce Brown gets some more usage as well. |

Dennis Schroder joined the starting give in Barrett's absence on Sunday versus Atlanta, while Jordan Nwora had a big performance off the bench.

Tue Jan 2 | 10:04 | RJ Barrett Starts Life In Toronto With Near Double-Double |
Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett debuted for the team with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort in a 124-121 win over Cleveland on Monday. He shot an efficient 6-for-12 from the field and 6-for-8 at the line in 29 minutes as a starter. It was a solid debut for Barrett, who was 1-for-2 with the three-ball, but he had trouble handling the ball and committed five of the team's 11 turnovers. Barrett should clean up the turnovers once he's better adjusted to his new teammates. He typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but Barrett celebrated his first appearance with his hometown team with a season-high in rebounding and should get plenty of confidence from the positive start. |

Mon Jan 1 | 16:03 | RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley Available For Team Debut |
Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett and guard Immanuel Quickley are both available to make their team debuts on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Barrett and Quickley were both at morning shootaround, signaling they would be ready to rock. The former New York Knicks came over in Saturday's trade, and while it remains to be seen what type of role is initially in store for them, they should settle into very significant minutes north of the border before long. Barrett should eventually assimilate into OG Anunoby's role, which was good for 33.3 minutes per night before he was moved. Fantasy managers hope Barrett's play in his hometown of Toronto sparks greater offensive efficiency and defensive intensity. Quickley will have to battle with Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. for minutes, but he has a far greater chance to carve out a featured role than he did in the Big Apple behind All-Star Jalen Brunson. |

Sat Dec 30 2023 | 13:00 | RJ Barrett Traded To Toronto |
The Knicks traded guard RJ Barrett (and Immanuel Quickley) to the Raptors on Saturday in exchange for forward OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Barrett has averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists since being selected No. 3 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He's also been one of the most durable players for New York, appearing in at least 70 games in the last three seasons. However, the former Duke Blue Devil hasn't reached the elite level many had envisioned he would. He's also shot just 42.2% from the field and 34.2% from deep since entering the league, which has been frustrating for category managers. Nonetheless, a change of scenery could do wonders for Barrett, especially since he could become a focal point on the offensive end. |

Sat Nov 18 2023 | 17:46 | RJ Barrett Returning Against The Charlotte Hornets |
New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) will return for Saturday's meeting with the Hornets. The former Duke Blue Devil has battled migraines, keeping him on the shelf for the Knicks' previous three games. As a result, Josh Hart took his spot in the rotation. However, Hart could still see enough minutes to remain relevant for fantasy managers, considering Quentin Grimes (wrist) is out again after spraining his left wrist on Wednesday against Atlanta. |

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Hornets. Barrett carried the same designation heading into Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. However, the migraines he's been battling kept him off the floor for a third straight contest. Nevertheless, if Barrett doesn't return for this one, Josh Hart, averaging 10.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in five starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the rotation. |

The 23-year-old had a strong start to the season before his injury, recording two 20-point games in the only matches where he played at least 30 minutes. This season, he's averaging just over 31 minutes per game and is likely to maintain that level of playing time on Monday.

According to Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau, forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 23-year-old is considered day-to-day because of a sore left knee. Fortunately, the Knicks won't play again until Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, meaning there's a chance he could be back by then. Josh Hart, who had 11 points, eight boards, and three assists on Wednesday versus Cleveland, should remain a serviceable fantasy option. At the same time, Immanuel Quickley and Donte DiVincenzo are worth streaming in all formats. |

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (knee) was unable to play in the team's last contest on Wednesday and he's now listed as questionable for their Friday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the game that Barrett missed, Josh Hart took over in the starting lineup, but they weren't able to grab a win against the Cavaliers. If Barrett has to miss another game, Hart would likely remain in the starting lineup while Donte DiVincenzo and Immanuel Quickley should see plenty of minutes off of the bench. Miles McBride is an outside shot at getting some time, but he's not recommended as a streaming option at this point. |
