Analysis: Outlaw really only has low-end Fantasy value and doesn't need to be stashed on any rosters while he's out.

News: Blazers SF Travis Outlaw will have surgery Wednesday to repair a stress fracture in his left foot. Outlaw fractured the foot last Saturday during the first quarter of the Trail Blazers' game against Charlotte. Playing off the bench, Outlaw averages 10.9 points per game.	Analysis: The original timetable had Outlaw missing 6-8 weeks, but this procedure might alter it some. Still, he doesn't figure to return until January, and since he's just a low-end Fantasy option even when healthy, he's not worth stashing outside of the deepest of leagues.

News: The Portland Tribune reports that Travis Outlaw fractured his left foot in Saturday's game against Charlotte. Outlaw, who was averaging 10.9 points per game, returned to Portland for evaluation. Team officials estimated he could miss six to eight weeks.	Analysis: Outlaw is a serviceable player in standard Fantasy formats due to his presence as a scoring threat off the Portland bench. However, he is mainly just a matchup-based starter who won't be missed too badly in Fantasy leagues. Leave him on waivers until his return nears.

Team officials said he was out indefinitely and would return to Portland for further evaluation and could miss 6-8 weeks.	Analysis: Outlaw entered the game third on the team in scoring, averaging 10.9 points. He was a decent waiver wire pickup for some Fantasy owners but should be benched for Week 4 (Nov. 16-22) as it is unknown how long this injury will keep him out. He is a serviceable low-end Fantasy option when healthy.

Outlaw a solid waiver wire target?	Updated 11/5/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw is averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists through his first five games this season. He has shot 6 of 15 from beyond the arc and has also chipped in four steals and five blocks.	Analysis: Travis Outlaw is a waiver-wire favorite in Fantasy leagues, often times a go-to guy for one-week fill ins. Well, that's exactly the case for Fantasy Week 3 (Nov. 9-15). The Blazers have a couple of favorable matchups against Memphis and Minnesota in a four-game week and Outlaw has already had a pair of big games against the Rockets and Hawks this season. He should manage a useful week as a No. 4 forward. Martell Webster is getting the starts, but Outlaw has the better possibility for bigger stat lines. .

Outlaw again productive off bench	Updated 11/4/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw had 19 points off the bench in Tuesday's game against Atlanta. He played 23 minutes and shot 7 for 15 from the field with 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal. He was 1 for 2 from beyond the arc.	Analysis: Outlaw is averaging 12.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in five games off the bench, taking at least 8 shots in each game and at least 10 shots in three of those games. He is a nice addition off the waiver wire and a decent plug-in starter based on matchups.

Outlaw off to up-and-down start	Updated 10/30/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw shot just 1 for 8 from the field in Thursday's game against Denver, limiting him to just 4 points off the bench. He had led the team with 23 points in their opener against Houston. Outlaw did manage 7 rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench.	Analysis: Outlaw's shot was off Thursday and he never got into a rhythm. Outlaw will continue to try to provide the team with an offensive presence off the bench and could make a strong start in Fantasy leagues when the right matchups arise.

Outlaw leads team with 23 off bench	Updated 10/28/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Trail Blazers SF Travis Outlaw, who averaged 12.8 points per game mostly as a reserve last season, asserted himself off the bench in the season opener Tuesday against the Rockets. He led the team with 23 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. He also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes.	Analysis: Outlaw should continue to offer points, rebounds and 3-pointers off the bench. His role keeps him from becoming a high-end Fantasy option, but you could do worse for a No. 4 Fantasy forward. He's probably a little under-owned at 30 percent.

Outlaw to get a Fantasy boost?	Updated 10/26/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum will undergo surgery on his right shoulder to repair torn cartilage. The team said Monday a return date will be determined after Friday's surgery in Los Angeles. His absence likely means Travis Outlaw or Martell Webster will start in his place.	Analysis: Batum appeared in 79 games as a rookie last season, starting 76. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds while earning praise for his defensive ability. He has no real Fantasy appeal even as a starter as most of the minutes at small forward go to Outlaw. Outlaw could be kept with the second unit because the team likes his presence off the bench, but he will remain the more important Fantasy option of the two.

Outlaw scores 15 vs. Rockets	Updated 4/6/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw scored 15 points in a loss at Houston on Sunday. Outlaw came off the bench and shot 7-of-13 with a three and five rebounds. He added three assists.	Analysis: Outlaw is averaging 12 points, three boards, two dimes and less than one three per game over his last five contests. He played well Sunday but is far too inconsistent to use in anything but deeper Fantasy leagues.

Outlaw plays with sprained pinky	Updated 3/27/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw was able to play against the Suns on Thursday against the Suns despite spraining his pinky finger in Monday's game against Philadelphia. He came in off the bench as the team's sixth man While Nicolas Batum got the start over him.	Analysis: Outlaw was not really expected to miss any time due to the sprained pinky as the team is in the middle of a playoff run. He should continue getting 25-30 minutes on the floor and should be considered a No. 4 option in standard leagues.

Outlaw goes back to the bench	Updated 3/24/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Portland's Nicolas Batum returned to the starting lineup Monday against Philadelphia after missing the past two games with a sprained left ankle. He played just 16 minutes and finished with five points, an assist and a rebound. Travis Outlaw returned to the bench and finished with just four points, two rebounds and an assist in 27 minutes. The Oregonian reports that Outlaw suffered a sprained right pinky finger in the game.	Analysis: Batum is not a very significant Fantasy player despite the fact that he is a starter on a team headed to the playoffs. He should not be inserted back in lineups even now that he is back and starting again, so leave him on waivers in all formats. Outlaw will still get good minutes (around 25-30 per game) off the bench as the team's sixth man. He is good for double-digit scoring on most nights even though he didn't have a good offensive game on Monday. View him as an option to start as a No. 4 forward in standard leagues. The pinky injury does not appear to be too serious at this point.

Outlaw filling in as starter	Updated 3/21/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: The Oregonian reports that Nicolas Batum will not be activated for Saturday's game. It will be the second consecutive missed game after rolling the ankle in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game in Indiana. Coach Nate McMillan said Travis Outlaw will start in place of Batum.	Analysis: In Thursday's overtime loss in Cleveland, Outlaw had 17 points and seven rebounds in a career-high 47 minutes. This will be Outlaw's fifth start of the season. He is a player we often recommend off the waiver wire as someone who puts up consistent figures despite his role off the bench. He usually scores in the low to mid teens with a decent amount of rebounds and about a block and steal per contest. He is a good player to stash on your bench for use when the Blazers face favorable matchups -- starter or not.

News: Blazers foward Travis Outlaw had eight points and 12 rebounds Thursday at Golden State, but he went 3-for-14 from the floor for Portland.	Analysis: This was only Outlaw's second game of the season with double figures in rebounds, but he missed the double-double because of the poor shooting night. Still, he's playing well coming into the All-Star break and should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy option.

Outlaw surging for Blazers	Updated 2/12/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Blazers F Travis Outlaw had 21 points off the bench in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. He logged 36 minutes and also added three three pointers, four assists, two rebounds and two steals. He has scored at least 20 points in three straight games.	Analysis: Outlaw has made eight field goals in each of the three games and is getting upwards of 15 shots per game during his offensive upswing. He has now played 30-plus minutes in four straight games, but his role as the team's sixth man doesn't guarantee him this type of production on a long-term basis. He's hot at the moment and Fantasy owners should just look to ride that out as long as it lasts.

Outlaw scoring at high level	Updated 2/8/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw played 31 minutes in his usual sixth man role on Sunday against the Knicks and scored 23 points. Outlaw hit on 2-of-4 threes and was 8-of-16 overall.	Analysis: Outlaw didn't do much else in the game with just two assists and two rebounds but his scoring makes him a nice option in 12-team and deeper Fantasy leagues. The Blazers play two games in Week 16 and have one of the best matchups of any team in the league in the shortened week. That makes Outlaw a possibility to start in even 10-team leagues for this one-week period of time.

He is averaging 13.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last five games.	Analysis: Outlaw is getting good minutes off the bench (27.8 over his last five games) and is seeing around 10 shots per game.

Analysis: Outlaw has been seeing around 25 minutes per game like clockwork and is getting close to 10 shots in the offense off the bench.

News: Blazers forward Travis Outlaw had 18 points and eight rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench Sunday against Milwaukee. He is averaging 16.4 points and 6.2 rebounds over his last five contests with double-digit scoring in six of his last seven games.	Analysis: Outlaw has also made at least one three pointer in six straight games and he is averaging just under 15 points per game off the bench in January. He has this type of upside as he did average 13.3 points per game last season. Fantasy owners should view him as a possible No. 3 or 4 forward option while he remains this productive.

Outlaw coming back to Earth	Updated 1/17/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Just three games removed from blowing up for 33 points at Chicago, Portland SF Travis Outlaw is playing a lot more like what we expect from him lately. Outlaw scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds over 26 minutes on Saturday in an overtime loss at Charlotte and shot 4-of-14 from the field.	Analysis: Outlaw is averaging just 11 points per game on the year and that is right around what he's averaging in the three games since the monster performance. This current Outlaw is the one we expect going forward. He can have the occasional big game but is clearly nothing more than a low-end Fantasy forward.

Outlaw goes off for 33 points	Updated 1/12/2009
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Travis Outlaw had a season-high 33 points and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Chicago Bulls 109-95 on Monday night. Outlaw shot 9-of-14 from the field and hit four threes in the game and added seven rebounds with three blocks.	Analysis: Outlaw scored 19 points on Saturday and followed that rare performance with this incredible effort. He's hit six threes in his last two games and is as hot as it gets for a guy owned in just 38 percent of Fantasy leagues. Outlaw has been used at power forward of late and it is really working for him. If this kind of play continues he will be a must-add in all leagues. It might be time to start adding him right now before you are forced to rush to the computer and beat your friends.

He has scored in double figures in seven of his last nine games, averaging 12.1 points per game during that stretch.	Analysis: Outlaw averages just under 11 points per game, so this recent hot streak doesn't change much. His inconsistent scoring and lack of across-the-board contributions make him a low-end Fantasy option.

News: Trail Blazers SF Travis Outlaw, who missed Friday's game with a bruised tailbone, returned to the court Tuesday against the Kings. He finished with five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench.	Analysis: Outlaw has been inconsistent this season, averaging right around 10 points and four rebounds. He has some potential, but he doesn't get the minutes he needs to make a significant Fantasy contribution. Consider him a low-end forward.

Outlaw, who is in his fifth year in the NBA, is averaging 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds this season.	Analysis: Outlaw has been inconsistent this season, averaging 10.5 points per game and just under four assists. Even when Outlaw returns from this injury, he can't be counter on as anything more than a stopgap option in deeper leagues.

News: The Sports Xchange notes that Travis Outlaw had his most ineffective performance of the season, going 0-of-4 from the field en route to his first scoreless game of the season Thursday against the Jazz. He has not scored 10-plus points in back-to-back games since Nov. 24-26, a span of eight games.	Analysis: Outlaw has the ability to score in double figures on a nightly basis like he did a year ago, but he no longer has the guaranteed minutes or shot attempts. He has been playing around 20-25 minutes a night off the bench and has seen five shots one night and 10 the next. Fantasy owners should only consider him as a stopgap for larger formats right now.

Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Trail Blazers SF Travis Outlaw scored 16 points -- his most since Nov. 10 -- in 33 minutes off the bench Tuesday at New York. He also had six rebounds, a steal, a block and an assist.	Analysis: Outlaw averages around 11 points per game, but the Blazers have so many viable options on their bench these days that he likely won't average much more. His name has floated around in trade rumors, but while he remains in Portland, he remains at best a No. 4 Fantasy forward.

News: Blazers F Travis Outlaw scored 20 points in 41 minutes of action off the bench Monday in Orlando. He added five rebounds and three three-pointers. Despite playing off the bench, Outlaw has managed 10-plus points in each of his seven games this season.	Analysis: Outlaw will get his minutes whether he starts or comes off the bench. He's no elite scorer, but he'll usually score in double digits and contribute in most of the other categories as well. He's currently ranked second in the NBA in three-point shooting. Think of him as a No. 4 Fantasy forward.

News: Portland forward Travis Outlaw led the Blazers on Tuesday at the Lakers with 18 points. He also had four rebounds and two assists with two made three-pointers.	Analysis: Outlaw is capable of scoring in double figures and is a good source of three-pointers, but he doesn't contribute much else. Consider Outlaw a No. 3 Fantasy option at best this season but hope that his shot continues to fall.

Blazers with three games in Week 1	Updated 10/26/2008
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: The Trail Blazers will play three games in Fantasy Week 1 (Oct. 27-Nov. 2). They'll play at the L.A. Lakers on Oct. 28, at home against San Antonio on Oct. 31 and at Phoenix on Nov 1.	Analysis: The Blazers will be without Martell Webster to begin the season, so that means Travis Outlaw will be in the starting lineup at small forward. He had some appeal as a No. 4 forward option last season, but will no longer be the team's sixth man option. That role goes to Rudy Fernandez, who should begin the season as a No. 4 guard, but could emerge into a No. 2 over the course of the season with big minutes coming his way. Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden are must-starts in Fantasy for Week 1. Steve Blake has some low-end appeal in larger formats as the starting point guard for a three-game team this week. Jerryd Bayless, Joel Przybilla, Channing Frye, Ike Diogu, Nicolas Batum and Sergio Rodriguez should be reserved in all formats until further notice.

Outlaw to become a starter?	Updated 10/9/2008
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: The Trail Blazers announced that guard Martell Webster suffered a left foot injury Tuesday during a game against Sacramento. An MRI confirmed that Webster has a stress fracture in the fifth metatarsal. The team said it would announce a course of treatment, which could include surgery, and a an official timetable. A stress fracture indicates he will likely miss at least two months. His absence creates a void in the starting lineup.	Analysis: The logical move would be to put Travis Outlaw into the starting lineup, with Outlaw being a more productive small forward anyway. Rudy Fernandez is also an option to move into the starting lineup at shooting guard with Brandon Roy able to play the three. Fernandez fits into a Manu Ginobili type role off the bench, though, and that's the more likely scenario. As for Webster, his numbers weren't very good even as a starter and his absence could actually do more good than harm. Outlaw regains some sleeper appeal in Fantasy.

Outlaw worried about touches	Updated 9/9/2008
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: The Sports Xchange notes that Travis Outlaw, a Sixth Man of the Year candidate last year, can't help but wonder about his role with Portland this season. He's not sure if he'll get as many touches on a second unit that will include rookie point guard Jerryd Bayless and Spanish shooting guard Rudy Fernandez. "I saw Bayless have a great summer league," Outlaw said. "And Rudy, he had a great Olympics, you know? Shots are going to go down somewhere, and I feel I'm the lowest guy on the totem pole, so it may be me."	Analysis: Outlaw, who turns 24 on Sept. 18, is now the senior member of the Blazers in terms of experience with the club. He has two more years on his contract, but the second year is at the club's option, so he could be in a contract year. "We have a really good team," Outlaw said, "but I don't know if they are going to be able to keep us together. I don't want to be a sixth man forever." Outlaw enjoys playing for the Blazers, however, and would prefer to stay with the team. He has worked out hard this summer and expects to be improved from last season, when he averaged career highs in scoring (13.3) and rebounds (4.6). His personal goal is to raise those numbers to 16 and eight in 2008-09. He'll be worth pick in the middle-to-late rounds as a No. 4 Fantasy forward.

Outlaw breaks out in 2007-08	Updated 5/13/2008
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Blazers F Travis Outlaw enjoyed career highs in scoring (13.3), rebounds (4.6), assists (1.3) and minutes played (26.6) during the 2007-08 regular season. He appeared in 82 games, mostly off the bench, and became the team's sixth man.	Analysis: Outlaw became the team's source of energy and scoring off the bench early in the season after Jarrett Jack failed in that role and he may have found his niche at the NBA level. Expect the Blazers to give him around 25-30 minutes off the bench again in 2008-09, with a very real possibility that Outlaw could approach a 15-4-1 line. He'll be worth pick in the middle-to-late rounds as a No. 4 Fantasy forward.

Outlaw, LaFrentz, Frye to play more	Updated 4/6/2008
Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: With C Joel Przybilla sidelined for the rest of the season with a broken hand, the Blazers will have to look to Raef LaFrentz, who was averaging about seven minutes per game, and 6-foot-11 Channing Frye to fill his place in the lineup. Coach Nate McMillan suggested the team might play forward Travis Outlaw at the position as well.	Analysis: Of the three, Outlaw is the only one with any real Fantasy appeal, though Frye could become relevant for the season's final scoring period if he plays starter's minutes. He'd probably be too risky to start for your league's playoffs, though. Outlaw had 14 points and three rebounds Sunday against the Spurs and has averaged 19.3 points over his last four games. Keep him active as a No. 3 Fantasy forward for sure.

And his two free throws with 0.4 of a second to go provided the final margin in a 87-84 win.

Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Blazers SF Travis Outlaw scored 24 points in Friday's preseason game vs. Sacramento. He is averaging 13.8 ppg and 5.3 rpg in four preseason games.	Analysis: Outlaw is battling for the starting job at small forward with Martell Webster and it really has been a battle. Webster is averaging 19.0 ppg and 4.3 rpg in the preseason. Webster's ability to play both the two and the three may actually end up slotting him on the bench, leaving Outlaw the starting job at the three. Continue to monitor this situation.

Travis Outlaw, SF POR
News: Travis Outlaw had 13 points and was 9-of-10 from the line but only 2-of-10 from the field Saturday vs. the Clippers.	Analysis: With starters Zach Randolph (Friday surgery to repair ligaments and remove bone fragments in his right hand) and Joel Przybilla (knee surgery) gone for the season and Ime Udoka (concussion) lost for the short-term, Portland is really thin on the front line. Also, LaMarcus Aldridge left the lineup in the first half Saturday after experiencing dizziness and heart arrhythmia. The rookie center-forward was treated at a local hospital for dehydration before being released, but the Blazers may need Outlaw to play a bigger role down the stretch. Consider him an option in extremely deep leagues.

And who knows, he might just turn into a Fantasy starter down the road.

A fourth-year pro whose rookie contract expires at the end of the year, Outlaw is averaging 10.5 points per game.	Analysis: Outlaw is someone worth keeping an eye on. You might think about adding him to your roster if you have the roster spot. His numbers have been steadily improving and he could be a short-term Fantasy option at sometime this season.
