Nick Richards

Rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues, Williams has been a top 75 player in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. While he may not be the most exciting fantasy player, the circumstances make Williams worth the risk, especially in deep leagues. He's worth streaming as long as the Hornets are without Mark Williams and Nick Richards, and both lack a concrete timeline for return.

Diabate was outstanding on Saturday. His work on the glass helped the Hornets extend multiple possessions throughout the one-point victory. The 14 rebounds are one shy of Diabate's career-high, which he reached on two separate occasions earlier this month. With Mark Williams and Nick Richards both lacking timelines for return from their respective injuries, Diabate's worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues heading into Week 5.

Williams has yet to appear in a game this season, and his status remains unchanged from last week's update. He's still working out individually and has not done any team workouts. With Nick Richards also sidelined, the Hornets are left to rely on Grant Williams, Taj Gibson, and Moussa Diabate to fill the void. Fantasy managers are better off looking to another team for a reserve big to fill out their rosters.

Expect a lot of Grant Williams at the five.

Nick Richards has averaged a career-high 11 points and 10 rebounds per game this season in Charlotte.
