Peyton Watson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (head) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Watson was forced to exit early on Sunday due to a head contusion. However, it seems likely that Watson is going to play with him being listed as probable now. Watson hasn't been a great fantasy option lately, but he did have a decent stretch of games earlier in the month. His fantasy value is likely going to take a dip with Aaron Gordon healthy again.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hip) is listed as probable for Tuesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Watson is dealing with an adductor issue but it hasn't forced him to miss any time. Watson has been seeing additional minutes while filling in for Aaron Gordon, who's been dealing with calf issues, but with Gordon's return on Sunday night Watson will be at risk of losing minutes going forward. In Gordon's return on Sunday Watson was still able to play 28 minutes in a start, but if Gordon is back in the starting lineup then the 22-year-old will be at risk of losing minutes. Fantasy managers should keep their eyes open for any news about the Nuggets' starting lineup on Tuesday before making any decisions about starting or sitting Watson.

Denver Nuggets small forward Peyton Watson (hip) is listed as probable for Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. Watson was also listed as probable ahead of Denver's last game against the New York Knicks due to a right adductor strain but his status was later updated to be available. Against the Knicks, Watson had no rebounds and no assists, but he did score six points in 22 minutes. The 22-year-old has averaged 9.8 PPG, 3.5 RPG and 1.2 blocks per game as a starter this season while his field goal percentage is 47.2. His fantasy production has been boosted by his defensive stats (blocks and steals) and his ability to fill multiple categories. However, his offensive consistency remains a question.
