Fantasy Analysis
There was some thought that Jefferson could miss the remainder of the season, however that clearly is not the case. Still, while he may continue to play, Jefferson has extremely limited Fantasy value, as he is averaging 10.0 points and just 3.0 rebounds per game, so don't consider him anything more than a low-end option in deeper Fantasy formats.

04/08/2012 01:26 Nuggets' playoff hopes quickly fading
David Lee had 17 points and nine rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors got a big lift from their bench to put a dent in Denver's playoff hopes with a 112-97 victory over the Nuggets on Saturday night.
Since joining the Spurs prior to the 2009-10 season, Richard Jefferson has gone from a prominent Fantasy contributor to a fringe bench option in most formats. His offensive touches have dipped significantly and he finished the 2010-11 season averaging just 7.9 shot attempts per game. That total was second lowest only to his rookie year with the Nets in 2001-02. Barring a rash of injuries to Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, do not expect a significant increase in touches or Fantasy value. Just a couple of years removed from a 20-5-4 stat line in his last season with the Bucks, he is a worthwhile reserve option or handcuff measure for owners of any of the team's more prominent trio. However, he'll be worth little more than a late-round pick in Fantasy drafts given his current projections of about 12-4-2 under normal circumstances. (Updated 8/28/11)
