Desmond Claude

ANALYSIS
Claude's game log has been a bit volatile since returning from an ankle injury that forced him to miss the first four games of the season. It looked like he was back in a starting role in late-November, but he came off the bench Dec. 3 against UCLA, scoring just five points and committing four turnover across 20 minute in a losing effort. His role and production did a complete 180 just three days later, as he started, logged a season-best scoring total and only turned the ball over once against USC, his former team. It's possible the "revenge game" narrative played a role, but fantasy managers will get a chance to see if that heavy usage holds when Washington faces Southern Utah on Saturday. A proven high-volume scorer, Claude has the potential to be a significant fantasy asset if he can get his shooting percentage back up to the level of previous seasons.
