Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (back) and power forward/center Precious Achiuwa (ankle) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns. VanVleet will miss his second consecutive outing, paving the way for Malachi Flynn to become a highly targeted DFS option due to his low price tag. Achiuwa has been sidelined since Nov. 9 due to a sprained right ankle, but he has recently been tagged as questionable, indicating that a return is likely not far off. Scottie Barnes and Pascal...

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (back) has been deemed questionable to play in Friday's game vs. the Suns due to a stiff lower back. The ailment kept VanVleet out of Thursday's contest, which allowed Malachi Flynn to see an elevated workload, even as he continued to come off the bench. VanVleet has played at least 37 minutes in 19 of his 28 appearances this year, which bodes well for his DFS value if he is ultimately cleared prior to tip-off; another absence would give Pascal ...

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Grizzlies. Lower back stiffness forced VanVleet to make an early exit against the Clippers on Tuesday and he could now miss his seventh game of the season. Gary Trent Jr. looks set to take over VanVleet's spot in the starting unit if he can't play on Thursday and Malachi Flynn will have an opportunity to log extended minutes. Flynn has only recently found his way back to the regular rotation ...

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet had a rough day on Wednesday as nothing seemed to go his way. The 28-year-old already had one technical foul during the first half. However, it didn't end there as Vanvleet was ejected in the first minute of the third quarter. The veteran guard was tossed from the game after clapping at an official due to what he believed was a blown call. Before getting tossed, Vanvleet was 1-for-8 on the night with two points, six rebounds, and six assists. Gary Trent Jr....

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed the team's previous game versus the Nets with a non-COVID-related illness, allowing Malachi Flynn to get the start. With Pascal Siakam (adductor) and Scottie Barnes (knee) still sidelined, VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and Gary Trent Jr. could be the top producers on Saturday night while logging plenty of minutes in the process. Dalano Banton (ankle) is also out, so Flynn should get ...

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 28-year-old didn't play on Wednesday versus Brooklyn due to a non-COVID-related illness, and neither did Dalano Banton (ankle). As a result, Malachi Flynn got the start but finished with only eight points on a rough 3-for-12 shooting effort. With Pascal Siakam (adductor) and Scottie Barnes (knee) already ruled out, VanVleet will be a primary offensive contributor if he ...

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) will play on Wednesday against the visiting Heat. The 28-year-old missed the last two games with a non-COVID-related illness. With Gary Trent Jr. (hip), Precious Achiuwa (ankle), Otto Porter Jr. (toe), and Pascal Siakam (adductor) all out, VanVleet should carry things offensively, making him an ideal option for DFS participants. Of course, he's a must-start fantasy option in all formats.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 28-year-old will sit this one out while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Raptors are going to take the cautious approach here. Otto Porter Jr. will move into the starting five for Saturday's game. He could have decent streaming appeal with nearly 30 minutes available because of Vanvleet's absence.

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet returned on Sunday to the tune of a double-double and a win over the Chicago Bulls. He finished the game with 30 points, 11 assists, and five rebounds on 9-for-22 shooting overall and 5-for-13 from beyond the arc. Not only did he lead the game in scoring but he also had the best plus/minus at +27. That's not to mention that he also only turned the ball over once compared to his 11 assists. Whenever he plays, he'll keep fantasy managers very happy.
