76ers' Andre Drummond: Grabs 17 boards in victory
Andre Drummond racked up nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 17 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 overtime victory over the Pacers.The veteran big man stepped into the starting five for a third consecutive game due to Joel Embiid's (knee) ongoing absence. Drummond, a historically great rebounder, secured a game-high 17 boards while shooting an efficient 4-for-6 from the field. Through three regular-season games (all starts), the big man has accumulated 39 rebounds, 30 points, six steals and three blocks across 22-plus minutes in each matchup. Drummond will likely serve as a viable streaming option as the second-string center behind Embiid, who is not expected to play in both games of any back-to-back sets this season.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Productive despite defeat
Andre Drummond closed Wednesday's 124-109 loss to the Bucks with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds in 25 minutes.Drummond got the start at center with Joel Embiid (knee) out. With the latter being unavailable for the rest of the week, Drummond should make the most of that to pad stats on both ends of the court as the Philadelphia 76ers' starting center. Drummond might not get a lot of touches on offense regularly, but that won't matter much as long as he can rebound like he has done off the bench in previous seasons. An average scoring tally and his elite rebounding numbers would be enough to keep him relevant in most fantasy formats going forward.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Hauls in 20 rebounds Friday
Andre Drummond finished with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 FT), 20 rebounds, three steals and one assist in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Magic.Drummond was a beast on the boards, pulling down 20 rebounds despite the loss. With Joel Embiid set to miss at least 15 games this season, if not more, Drummond is firming up as a viable late-round target as a backup center. If you are willing to take a chance on Embiid in the first round, Drummond makes sense as an insurance policy late in drafts.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Strong two-way play
Andre Drummond finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 13 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason win over the Nets.Drummond continues to start in place of Joel Embiid (knee), who won't see action until the start of the regular season against the Bucks on Oct. 23. Drummond is a solid option in most fantasy formats even if he plays off the bench, as Embiid is likely to be rested on a regular basis, and Drummond can also deliver strong stat lines in limited minutes.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Back in starting lineup
Andre Drummond will start Monday's preseason game against the Hawks.Drummond didn't start Saturday's preseason game against Boston, which was the second night of a back-to-back set.

With the restrictions Embiid is facing this season, Drummond could be a sneaky fantasy pick at the end of drafts.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Double-doubles vs. Minnesota
Andre Drummond posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, an assist and two steals across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.Drummond got another start at center with Joel Embiid (rest) out, and the veteran big man continues to prove he's capable of producing regardless of whether he starts or plays off the bench. Drummond will be Embiid's primary backup once the regular season starts, but his ability to rack up stats in limited minutes might translate to him being rostered across several formats, particularly in points-based leagues.

76ers' Andre Drummond: Solid output in starting role
Andre Drummond notched 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 14 minutes in Monday's 139-84 preseason win over the NBL Breakers.Drummond is one of the best players in the league when it comes to racking up stats in limited minutes, so he should have fantasy upside even if he's slated to operate as Joel Embiid's backup. Drummond certainly made his presence felt in the preseason opener. He should continue to feature regularly as the Philadelphia 76ers manage Embiid's workload before the regular-season opener against the Bucks on Oct. 23.
