Fantasy Impact:

Simmons’ probable designation is a good sign that he didn’t suffer a detrimental setback in his recovery, especially after playing 32 minutes against the Heat this past Tuesday. He didn't do much in the scoring department but could facilitate the game script and crash the boards when needed. Simmons is having a slow start to the season, and in some ways putting together a body of work that isn’t fantasy-friendly. Without his ability to stuff the stat-sheet, his value would drop, jeopardizing his status as a must-start asset in your line-ups. Now, if you have Simmons in season-long formats, you’re starting him; however, it would be wise to take a look at the match-up and slate size before automatically locking him in your line-ups in DFS formats.
