Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Grabs 11 boards in start
Ayton chipped in eight points (4-5 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 139-132 loss to Atlanta.
Ayton moved into the starting lineup, replacing Anthony Davis, who was sidelined due to an ankle injury. He managed to pull down a season-high 11 rebounds, although nothing else he did jumped off the page. Washington will face Oklahoma City on Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back. If Davis remains out, Ayton could be a viable streaming consideration for anyone needing boards.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Starting Friday
Ayton will start Friday against the Hawks.
Ayton is getting the start with Anthony Davis (ankle) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Trae Young, Kyshawn George, AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr. In Ayton's previous start this season, he finished with four points, six rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Not starting Wednesday
Ayton won't start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Limited output as starter
Ayton racked up four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 103-94 victory over Orlando.
Ayton drew another start with Alex Sarr (knee) sidelined but remained a secondary offensive option, attempting just four shots while Anthony Davis dominated the scoring opportunities in Washington's frontcourt. Ayton's limited involvement is concerning for his short-term fantasy value, particularly with Sarr eventually expected to return. His rebounding offers some utility, but his upside appears restricted in the current rotation.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Starting sans Sarr
Ayton will start in Monday's game against the Magic.
With Alex Sarr (knee) sidelined, Ayton will slide into the starting center role. Bilal Coulibaly and Khris Middleton could see a bump in minutes off the Wizards' bench.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Quiet start to season continues
Ayton finished with 10 points (5-5 FG) and three rebounds across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 loss to Cleveland.
Ayton played no more than 12 minutes for the second straight game, continuing what has been an underwhelming season thus far. Having been acquired by the Wizards during the offseason, Ayton finds himself firmly tethered to the second unit, playing as a backup option behind Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis. At this point, he holds no value outside of deeper formats.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Scoreless in 12 minutes
Ayton racked up zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds and two assists over 12 minutes during Monday's 110-103 loss to the Hornets.
Ayton struggled to make an impact offensively while playing a limited role behind Washington's starting frontcourt of Anthony Davis and Alexandre Sarr. The veteran center has seen inconsistent playing time to begin the season, significantly restricting his fantasy upside. Unless his role expands, Ayton will have difficulty providing reliable production even in deeper leagues.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Swats two shots in Wizards' debut
Ayton accumulated 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 win over Milwaukee.
Ayton was solid in his debut for Washington as the backup center behind Alex Sarr, who finished with six points, nine rebounds and two assists in the season-opening victory. Ayton tied Bilal Coulibaly (11/2/1/2/4) for the team lead in blocks and did not commit any personal fouls or turnovers. Ayton should typically see 15-18 minutes a night as the first big off the bench.
