2025 Fantasy Outlook
Poeltl is quietly coming off a career year where he reached highs in points (14.5), rebounds (9.6) and steals (1.2) per game - also contributing 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 29.6 minutes. The center also shot a career-high 67.4 percent from the charity stripe. He's a prototypical center, controlling the paint on both offense and defense. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much to change this year. A fully healthy and reloaded Raptors team could mean fewer offensive touches for Poeltl, but he should remain a consistent double-double threat with upside for multiple assists, blocks and steals. It also benefits his fantasy potential that the Raptors don't have a traditional center backing him up. While Poeltl is unlikely to play minutes in the low-to-mid 30s, he doesn't have anyone on his corner. In two-center leagues, he makes for a great second center. And if managers in a one-center league reach the seventh round and don't have one yet, Poeltl is one of the last quality high-floor options out there. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the Raptors in July of 2025. 
Won't return vs. San Antonio
Poeltl won't return to Monday's game against the Spurs due to lower back tightness, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Poeltl exited to the locker room with 9:04 remaining in the final quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter. The big man will finish with two points (1-6 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 24 minutes. Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way with Poeltl sidelined. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Houston.

Poeltl has always been one of the most underrated centers in the NBA, but he had an injury-riddled 2023-24 campaign. The big man missed time early due to a leg issue and was sidelined for the final month due to a finger injury. That's unfortunate because he averaged 12.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks on 60 percent shooting in his final 13 games before the finger issue. We also saw Poeltl play at least 66 games in the six years prior, so we have to call last season a fluke from an injury standpoint. Over the last three years, Poeltl has averaged 12.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks on 63 percent shooting. That's the progression we want to see from a blossoming center, and he should continue to start for the Raptors next season. He also might get a bump with Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby leaving over the last year because the Raptors are clearly in rebuild mode. The only other center on the roster is Kelly Olynyk, but that should still guarantee Poeltl 25-30 minutes a night. There aren't many traditional centers left in the NBA, but Poeltl should be an excellent source of rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised for big role
Poeltl is poised to play a massive role in Toronto's frontcourt, Michael Grange of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Grange points out that the Raptors are very thin behind Poeltl at center. "While newly signed free agent Sandro Mamukelashvili should provide some depth at center and a different set of skills, Poeltl remains the only proven, rim-running and rim-protecting big in the organization." In 2024-25, Poeltl averaged 29.6 minutes and hit career-high marks with 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds. The Raptors awarded him with a four-year, $104 million extension, signaling that they are preparing to utilize him in a similar fashion.
