Rudy Fernandez returned from a lengthy absence due to a back injury on Tuesday, scoring five points on 2-of-5 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes off the bench. Fernandez isn't going to have much fantasy value of his own with things getting crowded in Denver, but he'll help to limit the value of guys like Andre Miller and Arron Afflalo.
