Kessler Edwards News
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kessler Edwards will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Head coach Mike Brown has decided to shake up his lineup and have Edwards start with Keon Ellis heading to the second unit. Edwards has been extremely quiet this season and isn't worth looking at as a streaming option on Thursday. Ellis should still get decent minutes off the bench, but won't have as much streaming appeal as he would've starting.
Despite having rescinded its qualifying offer on forward Kessler Edwards, the Brooklyn Nets have inked the 21-year-old to a new multi-year contract. A second-round selection in the 2021 NBA Draft, Edwards appeared in 48 games (23 starts) with the Nets last year and averaged 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. At 6-foot-8, Edwards provides valuable length for the Brooklyn frontcourt, although his fantasy outlook remains largely up in the air while the team sorts out the Kevin Durant/Kyrie Irving situation. Edwards stands out as a strong DFS option in favorable matchups, while he could play his way into sizable minutes as the '22-23 season carries on.
The Nets have rescinded its qualifying offer to forward Kessler Edwards. He is now an unrestricted free agent, although Brooklyn will keep his non-bird rights and can still re-sign him. After injuries and illnesses ran rampant throughout Brooklyn's roster last season, the 21-year-old appeared in 48 games. He started 23 of them, averaging 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds. While Edwards had some flashes of effectiveness in 2021-22, he shouldn't receive much interest from fantasy managers moving ahead, primarily since he will probably be a deep bench piece wherever he ends up next.
