| Fri Mar 20 | 19:02 | Trae Young Still Sidelined Saturday |
Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quadriceps) will miss Saturday's game against the Thunder, marking his third straight absence after suffering a quad contusion earlier this week. Bub Carrington should continue starting at point guard and remains a short-term fantasy add after posting 10 points, one three-pointer, six rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes last game, though managers should expect some inefficiency and turnovers. Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley (adductor), if available, could also take on larger offensive roles with Young sidelined. |

| Wed Mar 18 | 20:36 | Trae Young to Miss Second Straight Game |
Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quad) will miss his second straight game Thursday against the Pistons and may also be at risk of missing more time with a back-to-back coming up.

Jaden Hardy added 16 points with four triples, two steals, and one block in 32 minutes and remains a viable deep-league scoring option while Young is out. |

| Wed Jan 7 | 22:08 | Trae Young Traded to Washington |
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. The 2018 No. 5 overall pick has been a reliable fantasy producer since entering the National Basketball Association. In 493 regular-season contests, he's averaged 25.2 points, 9.8 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 35.1% from deep. Young's three-point percentage has dipped in recent years. He's also had issues staying healthy and taking care of the ball. However, this is still a fantastic acquisition by the Wizards, although it's unknown how Young's presence will impact the production of up-and-coming players like Kyshawn George, Alexandre Sarr, and Tre Johnson, among others. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 19:40 | Trae Young Listed as Questionable for Wednesday |
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. The four-time All-Star has been out for five games with a right quadriceps contusion. If he returns on Wednesday, it could be one of Young's final games as a Hawk, since he has been heavily linked with a trade in recent days. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Vit Krejci have benefited from Young's absence and will continue to have additional fantasy value if he remains out. |

While Young remains on the shelf, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a game-high 31 points when these two clubs met on Saturday, should remain in the starting lineup, with Vit Krejci receiving more action from off the bench. |

| Fri Jan 2 | 15:17 | Trae Young Won't Play on Friday |
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Young will now miss his third straight game due to a right-quad contusion.

He erupted for 30 points, four rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block in 40 minutes before posting 11 points and three assists in 31 minutes. Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu continue to offer steady multi-category value regardless of Young's availability. |

| Tue Dec 30 2025 | 21:44 | Trae Young Questionable Against Timberwolves |
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Minnesota. He's been battling a quadriceps contusion, keeping him off the floor for Monday's loss to OKC. Nickeil Alexander-Walker entered the starting lineup, finishing with a team-high 30 points, adding five assists, four rebounds, and two steals. He also shot 6-for-14 from behind the arc. If Young misses another contest, Alexander-Walker is a must-start, even with Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) back on the floor. |

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right quad contusion, adding uncertainty to an already thinned rotation with Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) ruled out. If Young sits, Atlanta's offense would shift toward secondary creators. Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be asked to absorb more on-ball work, while Keaton Wallace and Luke Kennard could see added minutes despite limited recent production. Daniels offers the most stable fantasy floor, while Wallace and Kennard remain high-risk streamers tied to playing time volatility. |

He finished Thursday's game with eight points and 10 assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will drop back to the bench on Sunday, but he will remain an attractive fantasy option. |
