Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl with 12/11 in 23 minutes of play
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:38 PM
Jakob Poeltl had 12 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eleven rebounds, three assists, a steal in 23 minutes against the Magic.
Analysis: Poeltl has overall been very underwhelming this season, but he had a very good performance tonight against the Magic. While Poeltl is on the decline, he can still put up numbers at times. The Raptors continue to start him which shows a vote of confidence in him. He's worth a stream if you need rebounds, but he's not worth an add in most redraft formats.
Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley with 8 assists in loss to Magic
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:34 PM
Immanuel Quickley scored 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, eight assists, and four 3-pointers in loss to Magic.
Analysis: Quickley hasn't been the most efficient in the start of his season, but other than that, he's been exactly what you would've expected. With no Kawhi Leonard, Quickley will need to step up and be more of a scorer. He's one of the best shooters on the team and he will very important to the team and that was shown by his contract.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes with a career high 41 points
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:24 PM
Scottie Barnes with a career high 41 points (19-of-34 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and a three in the 121-114 loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Scottie Barnes was carrying the offense in the first half for the Raptors with 23 first half points. No one else on the team which helped Scottie's value, but it didn't exactly help the Raptors as the Magic got revenge on this one. Scottie has been an absolute monster this season will continue to put up crazy performances with and without Kawhi Leonard playing.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett with 25/9/6 and a steal in blowout win
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:38 PM
RJ Barrett with a monster 25 points (9-of-8 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on Wednesday against the Magic.
Analysis: RJ Barrett took the shots early in this game in the first game without Kawhi and was efficient from the field. Notably, he was on the exercise bike at multiple points in this game, so it could be something to monitor. If you got RJ Barrett in fantasy, you should be really happy about what he's been doing. He won't get you many defensive numbers but he will certainly score, and get you some rebounds. There's an opportunity with Kawhi out, so there could be room to sell-high if someone gives you a good offer.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes with 28 points and 3 steals in win
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:33 PM
Scottie Barnes has 28 points (11-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks in 129-99 win against the Magic.
Analysis: With no Kawhi Leonard, Scottie Barnes made up the difference and kept the defense aggressive in this game. He's very good as a roamer and can get a lot of his defensive numbers that way. If you drafted Scottie Barnes, you should be feeling very happy about that decision and should be in contention to finish in the top 10 of fantasy rankings this season.
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard (knee) out multiple weeks
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 6:45 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Kawhi Leonard will miss “a period of weeks” due to swelling in his left knee.
Analysis: According to Shams, an MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Raptors are being cautious with the superstar and will keep an eye on his knee while ramping him back up. In his absence, Ja'Kobe Walter should see an increased role. Walter started on Sunday and finished with 22/4/2 with three “stocks” and five triples. Guys like Jamal Shead and Collin Murray-Boyles could also be in line for bumps in playing time, but Walter is the preferred add from a fantasy basketball perspective.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett posts 20 points, three steals vs. MIN
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:39 PM
RJ Barrett finished Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves with 20 points (9-of-21 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and three steals.
Analysis: Barrett helped keep the Raptors within striking distance of the Timberwolves in the first half, scoring 14 points. Unfortunately for him, he went cold in the third quarter, along with the rest of the Raptors, shooting 1-of-5 from the field. Toronto was outscored 35-15 as Kawhi Leonard's absence and Scottie Barnes' 0-of-12 shooting caught up to them. Barrett and the Raptors will look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Magic.
Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley posts 19/3/2/1 stat line
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:36 PM
Immanuel Quickley amassed 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 Fts), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Quickley had a productive night, but it didn't matter much when two other Raptors starters (Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl) went scoreless, shooting 0-of-14 from the field combined. IQ's current fantasy value doesn't align with his preseason ADP, but he's a relatively safe bet for at least top-100 value. The Raptors play three games in Week 2, starting with the Magic on Wednesday.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes goes scoreless, shoots 0-of-12
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:00 PM
Scottie Barnes failed to score in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with three rebounds, three assists, four steals and one blocked shot.
Analysis: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) unavailable, the Timberwolves could focus more of their defensive attention on Barnes. Unfortunately for the Raptors and fantasy managers who are rostering him, Barnes couldn't buy a basket. He shot 0-of-12 from the field and did not attempt a free throw. Given Barnes' track record, managers should expect to see him bounce back from Sunday's performance. But it was a rough way to end Week 1.
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out Sunday vs. MIN
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: A late addition to the Raptors' injury report, Leonard will not play on Sunday due to swelling in his left knee. Ja'Kobe Walter will likely replace him in the starting lineup, which could slightly raise his fantasy ceiling.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett with 23/9/4 on Friday
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 4:02 PM
RJ Barrett played great with 23 points (9-of-16 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists, a block and a three in 34 minutes.
Analysis: We got one of RJ's good games in this one. He's gotten much better with peripheral stats since getting to the Raptors. There will be bad games where you will get frustrated with the shot chucking when he's missing shots, but for now, if you have RJ, you're feeling good after this performance.
Immanuel Quickley
Quickley with 12 points and 6 assists
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 3:59 PM
Immanuel Quickley puts up 12 points (5-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), a rebound and six assists vs. Wizards.
Analysis: Quickley wasn't as good as his previous outing, but it isn't that far from what you're expecting from him. If he hit two of his 3-point attempts, the stat line would go from not great to good. Don't panic and get ready for the next one. His role is very secure on this Raptors team given how much they need shooting.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie with a monster 28/14/5 against Wizards
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 3:57 PM
Scottie Barnes scored 28 points (12-of- FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), fourteen rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks and a three on Friday.
Analysis: You would like Scottie to hit some more 3's and not turn the ball over 8 times, but that's not why you have him. These are the stat lines that you wanted when you drafted Scottie as early as you did. There are not many players that can get 28 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists in fantasy. Sit back and enjoy the high-level production.
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard with 16/8 vs the Wizards in win
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 3:54 PM
Kawhi Leonard had 16 points (7-of-19 FGs), 8 rebounds, an assist, 3 assists, and two 3-pointers in a 112-102 win against the Wizards.
Analysis: Kawhi had a quiet night with only 27 minutes played. They didn't really need him as much given where the game was at near the end. The Raptors will be trying to manage Kawhi's minutes as the season goes along. He also won't shoot 36.8% from the field very often, so don't panic there.
RJ Barrett
RJ Barrett puts up 20 points, four rebounds
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:41 PM
RJ Barrett amassed 20 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), four rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: After scoring six points on 3-of-8 shooting in the first half, Barrett scored 10 in the third quarter alone. He shot well on Wednesday, making just over half his shots, and he also posted solid rebound and assist numbers. Most encouraging were the 14 shots, possibly a sign that Barrett's volume won't suffer much with Kawhi Leonard back in Toronto. Barrett has long offered better value in points leagues than category leagues, and that's unlikely to change in 2026-27.
Jakob Poeltl
Jakob Poeltl plays 22 minutes vs. Chicago
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:39 PM
Jakob Poeltl finished Wednesday's win over the Bulls with three points (1-of-1 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Four Raptors starters scored at least 20 points on Wednesday, with Poeltl (unsurprisingly) taking the hit. The 7-footer took only one shot, and low-attempt games will likely be the norm this season. Also, Collin Murray-Boyles (6/8/3/1/1) played 20 minutes off the bench, while Poeltl played 22. The two shared the court for three minutes during the first quarter, but that was it. If Poeltl and CMB split minutes evenly as the season progresses, the former may not be worth rostering in 12-team leagues.
Scottie Barnes
Scottie Barnes moves into 5th on TOR assist list
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:35 PM
Scottie Barnes accounted for 23 points (8-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Wednesday was a record night in Toronto, as the Raptors broke last season's mark for the largest season-opening win in franchise history. In the 135-92 rout of the Bulls, Barnes also moved into fifth on the franchise's all-time assist list, passing Pascal Siakam. “Scottie B” was one of four Raptors starters to finish with at least 20 points, and he led the team in shot attempts (19). This sets up to be another big fantasy season for Barnes, especially with Kawhi Leonard making his return to Toronto.
Immanuel Quickley
Immanuel Quickley records 23/4/7/2 stat line
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:32 PM
Immanuel Quickley tallied 23 points (6-of-13 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Despite being close to a top-50 player in category leagues last season, Quickley entered the season with a Yahoo ADP in the nineties. Against the rebuilding Bulls, the Raptors guard showed why fantasy managers should have held him in higher regard in drafts. Quickley was one of four Toronto starters to score at least 20 points, and he shouldn't have any issues getting scoring opportunities this season.
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard scores 23 points in Raptors return
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:30 PM
Kawhi Leonard finished Wednesday's rout of the Bulls with 23 points (5-of-17 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Leonard officially returned to the Raptors on Tuesday, and head coach Darko Rajakovi? didn't have to ask much of his star forward. After playing 13 minutes in the first half, Leonard logged 11 in the second. With Toronto leading by a large margin throughout, Kawhi could have been limited to 20 minutes if not for the desire to give him added conditioning. Leonard won't have many 5-of-17 nights, so fantasy managers have nothing to worry about there.
Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard returns to the Raptors Wednesday
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 1:18 PM
The Raptors will start Emmanuel Quickley, R.J. Barrett, Kawhi Leonard, Scottie Barnes and Jacob Poeltl against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard spent the 2018-19 season in Toronto, delivering the franchise's only championship. The 35-year-old small forward is set to make his return in the Raptors' season opener against the Bulls Wednesday. He'll start alongside Quickly, Barrett, Barnes and Poeltl.
