Fantasy Analysis
Rondo has played three games since returning from a wrist injury and he's certainly looking plenty healthy for the Celtics. He's dished out 28 assists in his last two games with three steals over that span. Continue starting him at all times and in all Fantasy leagues and formats. (Updated 02/07/2012).

02/03/2012 20:29 Rondo returns for Celtics after missing eight games
Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo returned to the lineup for Friday night's game against the New York Knicks after missing the previous eight games with a right wrist injury.
Sure the Celtics have the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, but Rondo is the team’s top Fantasy option hands down. The point guard from Kentucky will enter 2011-12 with the same ammunition he had last season, but is a year older and wiser at 25. Although Rondo posted one of his lowest career scoring averages at 10.6 points per game last year, he reached a career-high with 11.2 assists and 2.3 steals. The biggest question surrounding Rondo heading into the season will be the health of his elbow. Minor injuries have plagued Rondo and he only saw time in 68 games last year. Still, one of the NBA’s best young point guards, Rondo is easily a No. 1 Fantasy guard. He’ll be a nightly double-double and may be asked to improve offensively with the Big Three all one year older. Rondo should come off the board before Round 4 at the latest in all Fantasy drafts. (Updated 8/23/11)
