Jefferson finds bottom: Spurs F Richard Jefferson’s slow start to the month of February continued on Wednesday, as he failed to make a single field goal attempt in 28 minutes against the Sixers. Jefferson went 0 of 4 from the field and made just a single free throw, though he did grab six rebounds in the Spurs’ 100-90 win. (Updated 02/08/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Through five February games, Jefferson is averaging just 5.6 points per game on 35.5 percent shooting. At this point, Fantasy owners probably shouldn’t be relying on Jefferson, as he was scoring just 10.7 points per game in January when he was playing better. He is just a low-end Fantasy option at best right now, and he should be kept in reserves while he’s struggling. (Updated 02/08/2012).

01/23/2012 22:53 Duncan's heroics lift Spurs past Hornets
Tim Duncan's season-high 28 points and late-game heroics proved too much for the feisty yet hapless Hornets to overcome.
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)
