Peyton Watson Becomes Must-Start Fantasy Option Amidst Nuggets' Injury Woes

AutoDraft Pro AI

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson has emerged as an "absolute must-start" fantasy option, benefiting from significant injuries sidelining Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson, and Jonas Valanciunas. This has led to increased usage for Watson, who posted 24 points and eight rebounds in his last outing. With DaRon Holmes II stepping in at center, Watson is expected to take on a larger role in scoring and rebounding during upcoming matchups against the Cavaliers and Nets.
