NBC SportsJa Morant, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama will start Friday's game against the Jazz.

While Morant's return from a strained calf is the most significant change to the Grizzlies' starting lineup, it isn't the only one. While Jock Landale has been the preferred choice in the past, Aldama will step in to fill the void left by the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Edey will be out for at least four weeks, so there's still time for Landale to slide into the lineup. But this decision bodes well for Aldama's fantasy value, which is capped when he comes off the bench.

NBC SportsCedric Coward amassed 17 points (7-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Jazz.

While Coward's final stat line lacked defensive stats, the rookie did record his second double-double in three games and fifth of the season. Given how well he began the season, most fantasy managers understood that Coward's production would cool down eventually. Over the past two weeks, he's ranked just outside the top-200 in fantasy value. However, Coward still offers a higher ceiling than Jaylen Wells, who finished Friday's defeat with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers.

NBC SportsJaylen Wells lit up the Spurs with 20 points (6-of-9 FGs), one rebound, two assists and two three-pointers against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Wells had a rough start to the year, but he's figured things out on offense during this five-game stretch. Over the last five games, he is averaging 19.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 3.0 triples per game while shooting 64.4 percent from the floor. This was his third 20-point outing of the season, with all of them coming during this stretch. He's currently rostered in just 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues but should be comfortably streamed, as long as he continues to produce to this level.

NBC SportsJaylen Wells recorded 25 points (9-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

Two nights removed from recording his first 20-point game of the season, Wells dropped 25 points in New Orleans. The sudden scoring surge is an excellent development for the Grizzlies, who are still playing without Ja Morant. While Cedric Coward (12/9/4/0/1) remains the superior fantasy option, Wells has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past week. Hopefully, he can build on the last two games, but consistency has been an issue for Wells this season.
