Superb performance in loss Gafford ended Sunday's 112-108 loss to the Suns with 26 points (10-13 FG, 6-7 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes.
Impact Gafford played a hard-nosed physical game in the paint opposite Jusuf Nurkic and finished with one of the best totals in his NBA career. Although the Wizards continue to struggle, Gafford ranks as an underrated fantasy target at the center position due to his upside and lack of competition on the roster.

Available Wednesday Gafford (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gafford missed Monday's game against the 76ers due to a right hip contusion, but he was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup and has been cleared to return to action. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Wednesday Gafford is questionable to play Wednesday against New Orleans.
Impact Gafford is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a right hip contusion. Mike Muscala started in his stead Monday, and would likely form a platoon with Danilo Gallinari for a Wizards' team lacking frontcourt depth if Gafford can't suit up Wednesday. Washington allowed a season-high 146 points in Monday's defeat without Gafford.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Monday Gafford (hip) will not play in Monday's game versus the 76ers.
Impact Washington's starting center will miss his first game since Nov. 1, but he'll be day-to-day going forward. Gafford's next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Pelicans. The Wizards are pretty thin in the frontcourt, so we could see both Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala pick up some minutes in the short term.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with hip contusion Gafford is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to a right hip contusion.
Impact Gafford was recently dealing with an ankle injury but is dealing with a hip issue now. The big man hasn't missed a game since Nov. 1, but he's coming off a season-low three points during a blowout loss to Brooklyn on Friday. If Gafford is sidelined, Mike Muscala, Danilo Gallinari and Anthony Gill are candidates for increased roles.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Gafford (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup against Brooklyn, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up for a 17th straight game. Over his last 11 appearances, Gafford has averaged 12.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Full participant in shootaround Gafford (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, fully participated in Washington's morning shootaround, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Gafford is dealing with a left ankle sprain ahead of Friday's matchup, but his participation in shootaround certainly bodes well for his status. He's scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances, averaging 12.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.2 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable against Brooklyn Gafford is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Gafford presumably injured his ankle in Wednesday's contest and could be held out of Friday's game. If Gafford is downgraded to out, Mike Muscala will likely see an increase in minutes.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
All-around game in loss Gafford racked up 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 23 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 131-126 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Gafford has now scored in double-digits in nine of his last 11 games as he continues to operate behind Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole on the offensive side of the floor. Gafford has shown promise on both ends of the floor and has now registered at least two blocks in six straight appearances.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Posts d Gafford ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Friday's 130-125 loss to the Magic.
Impact Gafford was efficient from the field and notched a solid all-around effort, recording his first double-double since Nov. 22 and scoring in double digits for the fourth time across his last six appearances. He holds a secondary role on the offensive scheme behind Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole, but he's a solid two-way player in most fantasy formats and should be a good source of points, rebounds and blocks in category-based schemes.
DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Swats four shots in win Gafford provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Pistons.
Impact Gafford provided a defensive spark to help the Wizards snap their nine-game losing streak, as he recorded multiple blocks for the third straight game. This was the third time this season that the big man has tallied at least four blocks in a contest, and he ranks seventh in the league with 2.0 swats per game. Gafford added to his defensive effort Monday with an efficient night as a shooter and finished one board short of notching his third double-double of the campaign.
NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Records double-double Wednesday Gafford notched 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Gafford scored in double figures for a fifth consecutive matchup Wednesday and was also a force on the boards en route to his second double-double of the season. Over 10 appearances this month, he's averaged 9.9 points and 7.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Just short of double-double Gafford totaled 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Dallas.
Impact The fifth-year center has only one double-double through nine games to begin the season, but Gafford has pulled down nine boards in three of the last four contests. He's had a solid start to the campaign, averaging 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks a night -- both of which would be career highs. Given the Wizards' lack of depth in the frontcourt, coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s options at center are essentially either Gafford or running with a small-ball lineup, so the 25-year-old's court time this season should be very secure.
NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to return Gafford (thumb) has returned to Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gafford checked back into the contest midway through the third quarter. Gafford's active play style leads to his fair share of bumps and bruises, but he's no worse for the wear Sunday.
NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers thumb injury Gafford (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Nets.
Impact Gafford suffered the injury shortly before halftime, and his inability to emerge from the break in the lineup boats poorly for his return. Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala could see enlarged roles.
NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Block party in loss Gafford accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 124-117 loss to Charlotte.
Impact It was the second time this season Gafford has reached five blocks, which has him at a career-high 2.8 per game across six games. The big man is also averaging 7.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 23.8 minutes. His fantasy will presumably continue depending on his ability to accumulate rejections going forward.
NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to play Monday Gafford (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Gafford, Deni Avdija (ankle) and Corey Kispert (ankle) were all questionable for Monday's contest but will ultimately suit up. Gafford is off to a slow start this season, averaging 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes per game, and faces a tough matchup against Joel Embiid.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes through shootaround Gafford, who's listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, participated in the Wizards' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia, Ava Wallace of The Washington...
Impact Gafford, Corey Kispert (ankle) and Deni Avdija (ankle) are all questionable but participated in the team's morning shootaround, so it appears Washington will be at full strength. Across three appearances, Gafford is averaging 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Monday Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gafford is dealing with a left ankle contusion. Gafford played on Friday against Miami, but he had missed the two games prior due to an ankle injury, making his new designation notable.
NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against Miami Gafford (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Heat, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gafford was listed as available earlier today, so his presence in the starting unit is not surprising. His return from a two-game absence will move Mike Muscala to the bench. Gafford averaged 8.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game over his first two appearances this year.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Available Friday Gafford (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact While Gafford initially carried a questionable designation for Friday's matchup, he'll be able to suit up after missing the last two games with a sprained left ankle. He averaged 8.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game over his first two appearances this year, but his playing time may be monitored Friday.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to questionable Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact Gafford was left off the Wizards' initial injury report for Friday's matchup, but the team updated his status shortly after. However, he partially participated in Thursday's practice session and will still be in the mix to return to game action Friday.
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not on injury report Gafford (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Heat.
Impact Gafford missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain but was a partial participant in Thursday's practice session and will be able to return to game action Friday. He averaged 8.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game over his first two appearances of the season, but it's unclear whether he'll face any limitations Friday.
