Fernandez, ready to step in and take charge

Rudy Fernandez(notes), SG, POR
The specifics of Brandon Roy's(notes) short- and long-term availability remain yet to be determined, but the sharp pain he felt Saturday should be the sign fantasy owners need to make a preemptive/speculative move and add Fernandez. He wasn't a factor on Saturday (15 minutes, 4 points, 1-6 FG), but his averages over the past four games include 11.3 points on 50-percent shooting, 2.3 threes, 3 assists, 1 turnover, and 0.8 steals, and he's going to have a clear shot at 30-plus minutes if/when Roy needs to shut it down. Wesley Matthews(notes) will also figure heavily in the mix for playing time, and may even end up as the starter at shooting guard, but the Blazers will clearly need Fernandez's
