Joel Embiid’s Week 1 Mystery: Will He Dominate or Disappear on the Fantasy Court?
Hopefully, Embiid can play both Week 1 games, as the 76ers begin Week 2 with a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back. Adem Bona, who’s rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues and started alongside Embiid on Friday, would have the most to gain fantasy-wise if the 76ers were to limit their star center’s workload or decide to rest him outright at some point.

– Ten teams, including the Celtics, Lakers and Spurs, end Week 1 with a Sunday/Monday back-to-back.
There should not be many concerns regarding player availability for back-to-backs at this point in the season. However, that isn’t guaranteed. Boston’s back-to-back appears to be the most intensive from a travel standpoint, as they’ll play road games against the Pistons (Sunday) and Pelicans (Monday). The aforementioned Tillman may be the one to watch availability-wise, as he only appeared in 33 games last season due to injuries. His moments of fantasy relevance have been rare, and he’s rostered in less than one percent of Yahoo! leagues.
