Fantasy Analysis
It's amazing to see how Randolph's situation has gone from bleak to promising. Just a few weeks ago his coach said he didn't expect Randolph back this season. Then he gets an MRI last week that came back positive, and now Randolph is ready for non-contact drills. We still have no timetable for his return, but it seems as though Fantasy owners might get Randolph back at some point this season. Continue to stash him in all formats. (Updated 02/09/2012).

02/06/2012 22:57 Duncan, Spurs get past Grizzlies
Tony Parker scored 21 points, and Tim Duncan added 19 points and 17 rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to an 89-84 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
Zach Randolph has averaged 20 points and 12 boards per game over his last three seasons and seems a lock to maintain that level of production in 2011-12, barring an injury. He has kept off the court issues from being a distraction during his time with the Grizzlies and when taken simply for what he can do on the court, he ranks among the top forwards in the NBA. Not much should change up front for the Grizzlies, with Marc Gasol and Randolph working well off each other. Randolph remains the go-to guy in Memphis and should remain a safe pick in Rounds two or three of any Fantasy format. (Updated 8/28/11)
