News: Washington C Brendan Haywood scored 14 points and ripped down 16 rebounds on Friday in a loss at Oklahoma City. Haywood shot 7 of 11 from the field.

Analysis: Haywood is averaging 11.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game this season. The double-double average immediately makes him worth using in every single Fantasy league as a center. He has been consistently in double figures in both all year and that comes with 2.3 blocks per contest as well

Haywood turned in a solid effort in Friday's loss against the Thunder, scoring 14 points and grabbing 16 rebounds on 7-of-11 shooting.

Spin: Haywood has proven to be a consistent double-double threat and is now averaging a rock solid 11.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks through 11 games. His 11 field goal attempts on Friday was a welcomed sight as he proved he could still get off shots even with the return of Antawn Jamison (Haywood got off just one shot in Jamison's season debut).Sat, Nov 21

Brendan Haywood had 14 points and 16 rebounds in Friday's loss to the Thunder. He's been great thus far and might be able to keep it going, despite the Wizards being nearly at full strength. He didn't block a shot tonight, but is averaging 11 points, 11 boards and 2.5 blocks on the season.

News: Washington C Fabricio Oberto could not play against Oklahoma City on Friday because of a hurt left hamstring. He is questionable for Saturday at San Antonio.

Analysis: Oberto only had minor Fantasy value when he was starting in place of Antawn Jamison. The Wizards got back the services of Jamison on Wednesday and so you can cut Oberto in all leagues if you own him

Oberto (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder, the Washington Times reports.

Spin: Coach Flip Saunders is hoping Oberto will be good to go Saturday against the Spurs to matchup with Tim Duncan.Fri, Nov 20

Oberto (hamstring) did not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Spin: Oberto is far from being a fantasy option. He's day-to-day with the injury.Thu, Nov 19

Jamison notched another big double-double in Friday's loss against the Thunder, finishing with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and two steals on 9-of-17 shooting.

Spin: Jamison has wasted little time getting back into the swing of things, averaging 26.5 points, 11 rebounds, 1.5 treys, and 1.5 steals in the last two games since returning from a shoulder injury.Sat, Nov 21

Antawn Jamison had 22 points and 12 rebounds on 9-of-17 shooting to double-double for the second straight game after debuting after a shoulder injury. He hit one 3-pointer and had two steals and a block, and already looks to be in mid-season form. Play him with confidence going forward.

Antawn Jamison made his season debut after a shoulder injury and hit 12-of-22 shots for 31 points, 10 rebounds and two 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Cavs. So Much for needing some time to get back in the swing of things. Get him in your lineup ASAP. And if you're wondering what impact AJ's return would have on Andray Blatche, he played just 17 minutes and had six points and zero rebounds.

McGuire has played in every game so far this preseason, but is averaging only about 12 minutes per game off the bench.

Spin: McGuire will not be a starter for the Wizards like he was last season, but he will probably get about 10-15 minutes per game as a versatile defensive stopper who can bring energy off the bench with his hustle.Mon, Oct 12

Wizards swingman Dominic McGuire worked on his mid-range game this offseason. He said he tried to focus on 3-pointers last season, but didn't feel comfortable -- which is very odd, considering he attempted four 3-pointers all season. He shouldn't be drafted, whether or not his mid-range game has actually improved.Source: Washington Post

Foye (ankle) played just four minutes in his return from an ankle injury Wednesday against the Cavaliers. He missed his only shot attempt.

Spin: Mike Miller hogged most of the minutes at shooting guard and has scored 37 points in two games since returning from his own injury. As long as Miller stays productive, Foye's minutes will be limited.Thu, Nov 19

Randy Foye returned from a sprained ankle and played just four minutes, failing to score on Wednesday. Mike Miller is hot and in the starting lineup, meaning Foye will be very inconsistent going forward.

News: Washington SG Randy Foye returned to action on Wednesday night against Cleveland after missing time with an ankle injury. Of course, he only played four minutes in the game and scored zero points on 0 for 1 shooting. He could still be feeling that ankle so be careful of his use until he plays his usual game.

Analysis: Foye is nothing but a reserve for the Wizards at this point but he should do more than he did on Wednesday. Something might be up and that limits his Fantasy value for the time being

Crittenton (foot) may be able to ditch his walking boot some time next week, the Washington Post reports.

Spin: Once the boot is removed, Crittenton is expected to start running. His rehab is expected to last another four weeks, though, so it'll still be a while until he sees game action.Tue, Nov 10

Javaris Crittenton may have the boot on his left foot removed next week, at which point he might start running. Crittenton had exploratory surgery two weeks ago and is expected to rehab for another four weeks. The Wizards didn't extend his contract and he doesn't figure to be a large part of their plans this season, either.Source: Washington Post

Crittenton's (foot) cast has been removed from his left ankle, allowing him to walk freely in a boot. However, the Wizards declined to pick up his fourth-year option, the Washington Post reports.

Spin: Crittenton's fourth-year option as a former first round pick was worth $2.28 million. He will become an unrestricted free agent next summer. As for the injury, Crittenton said he should be in the boot for another week or two and then begin working out again. Crittenton showed some flashes of ability with the Wizards last season but it appears he either may not be in their future plans or they want to try and bring him back at a low salary next season.Mon, Nov 2

News: Washington SG Nick Young earned his first start of the season on Friday night in a loss at Indiana. Young made his debut in the starting lineup in place of the injured Mike Miller. Many had thought it would be Randy Foye to start but Foye came off the bench as Young scores three points on 1 of 4 shooting over 15 minutes on the night. Young nailed one three and grabbed two boards with a block. Foye came off the bench for an extended 34 minutes and shot 6 of 14 from the field with two threes. He scored 16 points with four rebounds and two assists.

Analysis: Young got the starting nod on Friday but it is clear who the better option was for Fantasy owners. Foye was given an increase of minutes and scored in double figures for the first time in three games because of it. Foye is averaging 12.3 points, 2.5 boards and 3.0 assists per game on the season and that will likely rise over the coming weeks with Miller out. Young is not worth adding off waivers in most leagues but if Foye is available, he definitely is worth it

Young, in his first start of the season at shooting guard Friday in place of Mike Miller (shoulder), only had three points, two rebounds and a block in 15 minutes of action.

Spin: Young only shot 1-of-4 from the field (1-of-2 from three) and was replaced to begin the second half by Mike James. At this point it is not clear if Young will get another start in the Wizards' next game Sunday versus the Suns the team could opt to start James or DeShawn Stevenson, etc.Sat, Nov 7

Nick Young will start at SG Friday against the Pacers, in place of the injured Mike Miller. "It's another opportunity," Coach Flip Saunders said. "I'm giving him a shot to see what he can do." Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but Saunders is giving Young the nod over both DeShawn Stevenson and Randy Foye. Depending partly on how he performs Friday, Young might offer some value in deeper leagues while Mike Miller remains out.Source: Washington Post via Twitter Related: DeShawn Stevenson, Randy Foye
