Matt Besler: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
August 11, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's match against Dallas, according to Sam McDowell of the KC Star.
Besler's absence could allow Lawrence Olum to continue starting, though Nuno Coehlo returned from his own injury last weekend.
July 22, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler injured his knee in practice this week and will miss the match against Seattle on Sunday as well as the upcoming MLS All-Star game, according to manager Peter Vermes.
Besler hasn't had a consistent role in the SKC back line this season, mostly due to his time spent with the national team and this injury doesn't help. Until he becomes an every week starter again, his fantasy value is minimal.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler came off the bench to score the game winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
Besler returned from Copa America Centenario in fine fashion, scoring the game winner in just 36 minutes of action. Despite the late game heroics, it was only the third goal in 193 appearances for Besler. He could retake his starting center back role as early as Sunday against NYC FC.
May 2, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler earned an assist in the 1-1 draw with LA on Sunday.
The assist was Besler’s first of the season, and just his fourth in the last two. He delivered a long ball to Graham Zusi, who headed the ball to Brad Davis for the goal. Besler is known as one of the best defenders in MLS, but he does not offer much on offense limiting his fantasy potential in most formats.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler (concussion) is available Wednesday against Colorado.
Besler has been out since suffering the injury during the last international break, but he returned to training this week, clearing him to play, though it's no guarantee he'll feature off the bench.
April 12, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler returned to training Monday after passing through concussion protocol, and he could play Wednesday against the Rapids, the KC Star reports.
Besler has been out since suffering the head injury while on international duty, but he could slot right back into the starting lineup, with SKC playing two games in four days.
April 6, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Besler (concussion) will miss Saturday's game against the Red Bulls, according to Sam McDowell of the KC Star.
This will be the second straight game Besler misses due to the concussion. Kevin Ellis will likely remain in the starting role, until Besler can pass the concussion protocol.
