Jaylen Wells

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.

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.

Jerome suffered a high-grade calf strain during the preseason. At the time, the update was that he'd be re-evaluated in four weeks. Four weeks later, the 28-year-old point guard is expected to miss another 6-9 weeks. Jaylen Wells will continue to pick up minutes while Jerome is out.

Morant's extended absence should open up new opportunities for Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer and Vince Williams, though Wells is the preferred add. Javon Small could get a boost off the bench once he's back in action, but he's not worth a look outside of deep leagues.

Coward was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day after initially being tagged as doubtful. He'll not only suit up, but he'll make the first start of his career, which will push Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the bench. Edey is also starting in his first appearance this season, which will push Jock Landale to a reserve role.
