Shandon Baptiste - Scores in rare start Baptiste scored once on one shot during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leeds.

Impact Baptiste scored his first goal of the season with Brentford in what was only his fourth start (nine appearances). The midfielder is a fringe fantasy option at best and isn't a consistent goal-scoring threat by any means.

Ivan Toney - Tests positive for COVID-19 Toney has tested positive for COVID-19 and isn't in the squad for Sunday's match against Leeds. He'll likely miss the team's next two matches.

Impact Toney has started and gone a full 90 in every match for Brentford this season, so this is a downgrade upfront against Leeds. Sergi Canos is in his role, surprisingly, but someone like Yoane Wissa is available to to come on for him.

Mathias Jensen - Questionable versus Leeds Jensen is dealing with an undisclosed injury that raises doubts regarding his availability against Leeds United on Sunday. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Mathias and Shandon...

Impact Jensen had started four straight matches prior to testing positive for COVID-19, so it's possible the midfielder is still working his way back to full fitness. Even if Jensen isn't fully fit to start, he could still be in the mix for a spot on the bench.

Yoane Wissa - In doubt against Leeds Wissa hasn't been training with the team due to an undisclosed injury and is questionable versus Leeds United on Sunday. Manager Thomas Frank told reporters, "Wissa is the one who...

Impact Wissa has featured exclusively as a substitute this season, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI. Still, the forward racked up 10 goals on 57 shots (23 on target) in 38 matches for Lorient last year and could challenge for a spot on the pitch moving forward.

Álvaro Fernández - Beaten twice in defeat Fernandez allowed two goals while making five saves during Thursday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham.

Ivan Toney - Fires three shots Toney took three shots (two on goal), crossed three times inaccurately and created a chance during Thursday's 2-0 loss to Tottenham.

Rico Henry - Good to go Thursday Henry (knock) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Henry has started every match this season and that remains the case Thursday despite suffering an apparent knock a few days ago. While that could mean he's subbed off early, he's scored in two of the last three matches and has gone a full 90 in all but three games this season.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Canos - Starting against Tottenham Canos (knock) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Canos stays in the XI despite it being a short week. He was subbed off more often earlier in the season, but he's gone at least 87 minutes in each of his last three starts and with likely set-piece duty, he'll have decent fantasy value Thursday, assuming he's completely fit.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Stays in starting XI Norgaard (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Thursday's trip to Tottenham.

Impact Norgaard was forced off early only a few days ago, but he's again in the XI Thursday and has yet to miss a start this season. Assuming he's fit and healthy, he'll be in play to go another full 90, but his upside has taken a hit without a shot in his last two matches.

Tarique Fosu - Out after hamstring surgery Fosu is out after tearing his hamstring, which needs surgery, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Fosu has yet to play this season, so this doesn't change anything for Brentford's senior team. Still, Fosu was expected to help somewhere on the pitch after receiving 41 appearances last campaign, 20 of them starts.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Ajer - Still 3-4 weeks away Ajer (hamstring) is doing well and is still three-to-four weeks away, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Ajer has been out for just over a month, so this timeline hasn't changed since the injury. He'll hope to return at some point near the holidays, but as with any hamstring injury, it's best to assume he'll return later than expected.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Zanka - Will remain out midweek Zanka (undisclosed) is being assessed weekly and isn't an option for Thursday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Zanka has missed the last two matches and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Charlie Goode and Mads Roerslev Rasmussen have received starts on the back line in his absence, both with varying results for Brentford.

Rico Henry - Forced off with knock Henry sustained an undisclosed injury against Everton on Sunday that forced him off in the 77th minute.

Impact Henry has been a mainstay in the starting XI this season, having featured in all 13 matches for the club in which he tallied two goals on five shots (two on target), 26 crosses (six accurate) and 19 clearances. With Christian Norgaard (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury, Brentford could be forced to reach into its squad depth versus Spurs on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Suffers undisclosed injury Norgaard is dealing with an undisclosed injury that forced him off in the 70th minute against Everton on Sunday.

Impact Norgaard still managed to generate one cross (inaccurate), three tackles (three won) and two clearances before being subbed off Sunday. The midfielder has started all 13 matches for the club this year and would represent a significant absence from the starting XI if unable to play versus Tottenham on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Álvaro Fernández - Excellent in win Fernandez made five saves during Sunday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Fernandez has been growing into his role since replacing David Raya as the starting keeper, and had his best showing so far Sunday. Fernandez is an intriguing fantasy option next time out, away to Tottenham on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Busy in win Norgaard made three tackles and two clearances during Sunday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Norgaard was busy during Sunday's win, though it was all behind the ball giving him limited fantasy upside. The midfielder has only provided a single goal and assist this season, giving him next to no fantasy upside. He has a tough clash with Tottenham on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaly Janelt - Creates a chance in win Janelt created one chance on three inaccurate crosses during Sunday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Janelt created a single chance Sunday though his crosses and defensive volume gave him a solid fantasy day either way. The midfielder has limited fantasy upside, but he does offer some value as a safe-floor option. He will be tested defensively Thursday, away to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergi Canos - Comes off injured Canos (undisclosed) came off injured late during Sunday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Canos came off injured late in Sunday's clash, after sending five crosses in. The left-back didn't seem to be in extreme discomfort so the hope will be that he isn't set to miss any time. His first chance to return is Thursday, away to Tottenham.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Toney - Converts penalty Toney scored once on one shot from the penalty spot during Sunday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Toney scored his fourth goal of the season during Sunday's win. The forward has been in good form lately, scoring in two straight, though he will be a fringe option Thursday, away to Tottenham. Brentford have been one of the surprises of the Premier League so far, and Toney is a big part of that recently.
