Fantasy Analysis
Landry was able play through his injury on Monday night, so he should be OK moving forward. However, Fantasy owners in daily formats may want to keep an eye on his status moving forward just to be on the safe side. Landry can be considered a solid low-end option in most formats when healthy. (Updated 04/16/2012).

After a breakout season in 2009-10 for the Rockets and Kings, Carl Landry's productivity took a step back last season. A second consecutive year with a mid-season trade saw him wind up with a Hornets team that needed to fill a void left by an ACL injury to David West. Over 23 games, he averaged 11.8 points and 4.1 rebounds. That was well below the 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds he averaged the year before and we expect Landry will fall somewhere in between this fall. His ceiling is somewhere around those 2009-10 numbers, but Fantasy owners should expect him to remain more of a role player for now outside of an indication from his team that they intend to use him in a featured role. This makes Landry a worthwhile investment in the later rounds as a possible sleeper to break out should he find himself in a situation to play 30-35 minutes per game again, as he did during his breakout campaign. We know he can do it, if only given that chance. No matter the playing time he gets, count on him for excellent field-goal percentage, decent free-throw shooting for a power forward and a low turnover rate. (Updated 8/28/11)
