Should I get him? · 12-team 9-cat
Worth watching

Worth watching: he should miss much of this week, so there's no rush.

  • No. 195 in our 9-cat rankings, up 10 spots since Oct 24.
  • About the same role as last season: 20 minutes a game; came off the bench in preseason.
  • 1 game this week (Oct 31–Nov 1), about a 30% chance he plays it.
  • When Coward sat since last season, he played 25 minutes instead of 15 (13 games).
