Haywood has zero fantasy value and can be ignored.

Brendan Haywood headed to Cleveland
Charlotte Observer
News
The Hornets officially completed their draft day deal with the Cavs on Saturday, sending Brendan Haywood and the draft rights to Stanford forward Dwight Powell to Cleveland in exchange for Scotty Hopson.
Forecaster Impact
It's unlikely that Hopson will play for Charlotte as his $2.45 million salary slot for next season is a team option. This move was more about Charlotte ridding themselves of the $2 million owed to Haywood for the 2014-15 season. Haywood missed the entire 2013-14 season with a fractured foot, and he is not a fantasy option.

Haywood to Cavs as part of Powell deal

News
Brendan Haywood will be traded to the Cavs as a part of the Dwight Powell deal.
Forecaster Impact
The Cavs take on about $2 million of a cap hit in doing this and Haywood has to prove that he can step foot on a court before he's worth talking about.

Brendan Haywood out for the season
Charlotte Observer
News
Coach Steve Clifford said on Friday that Brendan Haywood (foot) is out for the season.
Forecaster Impact
This news was expected for a while and the Bobcats certainly don't need any help with Al Jefferson playing great ball these days. Haywood's days in the NBA could be numbered after a solid career.

Brendan Haywood's season in jeopardy

News
Brendan Haywood (fractured foot) may not return to the court this season.
Forecaster Impact
With just 18 games left in the season, Haywood's chances to return this season decrease by the day. Two weeks after his targeted return date, Brendan Haywood still can't do anything weight-bearing on basketball court, according to Bobcats' coach Steve Clifford. Even if Haywood does manage to rehab in time to take the court before the regular season ends, he would likely be limited to around 10 minutes per game and would provide minimal fantasy value.

Brendan Haywood (foot) inches toward return
Charlotte Observer
News
Brendan Haywood (fractured foot) has been cleared for jogging, shooting and light jumping, and he hopes to begin playing in the next few weeks.
Forecaster Impact
He was ruled out for at least 12 weeks in mid-October but he's already approaching the four-month mark. "[A stress fracture] is not like an [ACL], where you can double up the work and get back quicker," Haywood said. "You really can't do anything for it." The veteran's ultimate goal is to be healthy enough to play "10 to 15 minutes" per game, and he will not have fantasy value.

Brendan Haywood has successful surgery

News
Brendan Haywood had successful surgery on his left foot and will be out at least 12 weeks.
Forecaster Impact
He had two screws placed in his foot to stabilize a stress fracture and he's going to be out until at least mid-January. Haywood was only going to be emergency depth for the Bobcats and doesn't have an fantasy value. Bismack Biyombo should see a slight uptick in minutes.

Brendan Haywood (foot) out 12 weeks
Rick Bonnell on Twitter
News
Brendan Haywood has a stress fracture in his left foot, will have surgery and be sidelined for about 12 weeks.
Forecaster Impact
This means more minutes for guys like Al Jefferson and Bismack Biyombo, but shouldn't have too much of an impact. Haywood was going to have a limited role anyway.

Brendan Haywood out with a sprained foot
Rick Bonnell on Twitter
News
Brendan Haywood (foot) will not play in the Tuesday's preseason opener.
Forecaster Impact
He's had multiple issues with his spraied foot and the team has little reason to trot him out there in October. Haywood is 33 and probably won't match his 19.0 minutes per game from last season, so he should be ignored in almost all fantasy leagues.
