The Denver Post considers impending unrestricted free agent Corey Brewer a candidate for the mid-level exception.
Brewer was a valuable reserve for the Nuggets this season, playing in all 82 games and averaging 12.1 points, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 3-pointers. The mid-level exception would be worth $5.1M per season, signifying a raise on his 2012-13 salary of $3.2M. Brewer has starting-caliber talent and projects as one of the league's sleepers in free agency this summer. May 3 - 2:57 PM

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer could start at shooting guard on Tuesday in a must-win Game 5 vs. Golden State.

Brewer started the second half of the Game 4 loss in place of Evan Fournier, but George Karl hasn't revealed his starting lineup for the do-or-die game. We wouldn't be surprised to see Brewer in the starting lineup, but it would weaken the Nuggets bench.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer cooled off with just seven points, five rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes vs. the Blazers on Sunday.

Andre Iguodala and Evan Fournier were on fire as the starting SF and SG, respectively, which limited Brewer's opportunities off the bench. He averaged better than 20 points in his previous four games and should bounce back against Milwaukee on Monday.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer came off the bench for 22 points, two 3-pointers, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes on Saturday, as Denver rolled to a 132-114 win vs. the Rockets.

Brewer has exploded since Danilo Gallinari blew out his ACL on Thursday, and he's a must-own player even though Wilson Chandler (21 points) is now starting at SF. In just 24 minutes per game this year, he's averaging a healthy 11.9 points, 1.1 threes and 1.4 steals.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer started the second half on Thursday for the injured Danilo Gallinari (knee), finishing with 23 points, two boards, two steals, one block and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes against the Mavericks.

Brewer stuck it to his former team that essentially cut him to save salary in the offseason. His fantasy value is surging with Gallinari leaving the arena on crutches and with a huge brace on his left knee. It almost seems certain that Gallo would miss the rest of the season and Brewer is likely to take over as the starter the rest of the way. He's a must-own player in standard leagues.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer started the second half of Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Danilo Gallinari suffered a horrific knee injury in the first half and there's a very serious chance that he misses the rest of the season. Brewer should be picked up in all standard leagues while Wilson Chandler makes a ton of sense with Evan Fournier also worth a look in deep leagues.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer had four assists, three steals and two blocks in Saturday's victory, but he scored just two points on 1-of-8 shooting.

The Nuggets' sparkplug scored a season-high 29 points on Thursday, so naturally he followed that up with this dud. He's been very consistent for the past few months and Wilson Chandler (shoulder) won't play on Monday, so don't let tonight's off-shooting scare you away from using Brewer.

Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer scored a career-high 29 points with one board, five steals and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes against the Sixers on Thursday.

He was fouled on a 3-pointer by Damien Wilkins with 2.1 seconds left and made all three to give Denver the lead for good. The Nuggets extended their winning streak to 14 games and are playing the best basketball in the NBA this side of the Miami Heat. Brewer benefited from Wilson Chandler being out and with Chandler expected to miss more time, he's worth a long look in standard leagues.
Mar 22 - 12:11 AM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer scored 20 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 7-of-16 shots (including two threes) with three rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes.

This is what it looks like when Brewer is 'on,' and he has been hot enough to start in standard formats over the past two weeks, but in reality he's a deep league guy. By the time a standard league owner can get Brewer into their lineups he's just about ready to go cold.
Mar 12 - 12:53 AM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer scored 15 points with two assists and two steals to lead the bench on Saturday, helping the Nuggets win their 13th consecutive home game.

Denver is now riding their longest home win streak since 1989. Their depth is remarkable and the second unit features plenty of guys who could start for other teams -- Brewer, Andre Miller, Wilson Chandler and JaVale McGee. They were so effective tonight that Andre Iguodala and Ty Lawson were the only starters to play more than 28 minutes.
Mar 9 - 11:48 PM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer was assessed a flop warning from Thursday's game against the Clippers.

It's the first flop warning since January 25 and the NBA has successfully cracked down on the violations. Brewer doesn't have much value in standard leagues with Denver's depth on the wing, especially with Wilson Chandler playing well.
Mar 9 - 6:39 PM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer scored 22 points on 11-of-20 shooting (no threes) with four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Brewer has performed well lately but he is still best situated for deeper formats.
Mar 4 - 11:56 PM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer scored 14 points with five steals in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Brewer hit 7-of-13 shots and chipped in with two rebounds and three assists, and is only worth a look in deeper formats.
Mar 2 - 4:08 AM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer shot 3-of-11 from the field in a start at small forward on Tuesday, scoring nine points with one assist and one 3-pointer against Toronto.

He got into foul trouble early, which has been a thorn in his side lately. Brewer leads all small forwards that average at least 20.0 minutes per game in fouls per 48 minutes in February. He should still get a chance to perform on Wednesday and is worth a look as a spot-start vs. Brooklyn.
Feb 12 - 10:02 PM
Corey Brewer - G/F - Nuggets

Corey Brewer hit 6-of-13 shots and a 3-pointer for 20 points, four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes of Tuesday's win.

Brewer is quietly averaging 13.2 points, 1.6 steals and 1.2 3-pointers over his last five games, and has scored between nine and 20 points over his last four games. He's seen between 20 and 30 minutes in those four games and as long as the minutes stay there going forward, he's worth a look in most fantasy leagues, despite coming off the bench.
