Fantasy Impact

A quad injury leaves Merrill with a questionable tag ahead of Monday's game. It's not a serious issue, but he might need a bit of time to rest and recover. If that's the case, Max Strus may slightly benefit from his absence from a fantasy standpoint.

Sam Merrill totaled five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3PT), three rebounds and one assist in the Cavaliers’ 124-101 win over the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

After a breakout season last year, Merrill has struggled to sustain his momentum, seeing a dip in production despite increased playing time. His inefficiency was evident again in this matchup, and with Max Strus returning and the slow emergence of rookie Jaylon Tyson, Merrill’s path to a larger role appears increasingly difficult. For now, he’s best left off waiver radars. At most, he could serve as a contrarian flier in DFS for managers looking to take a risk on the right slate.

Sam Merrill is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

Merrill should remain in his reserve role. He is off the fantasy radar.

Sam Merrill scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3P) with three rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block in the Cavaliers' 118-87 win over the Wizards on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

It was a nice game for him in the blowout win, with Merrill coming second on the team in assists. Even so, he's just not doing enough to be worth rostering in fantasy at this moment in most leagues.
