2025 Fantasy Outlook
After missing the entire 2024-25 NBA season nursing a torn left ACL, Bey was flipped to the Pelicans during the offseason. By all accounts, his recovery has gone well, and he's expected to be ready in time for Opening Night. Bey holds career averages of 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 0.8 steals while shooting 35.2 percent from beyond the arc. The Pelicans have some serious talent on the wings in Trey Murphy and Herb Jones, so Bey figures to slot in behind both of those guys. That's probably ideal for him anyway, as he'll need to be eased back into things after such a lengthy rehab. At least initially, Bey may be someone that fantasy managers will want to track from the waiver wire instead of using a late-round pick on him in deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Scoreless in fill-in start
Bey finished scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 21 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
ANALYSIS
Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, saw his first taste of live action since his surgery during the preseason opener. He started in place of the injured Herbert Jones (ankle), and it's a good sign that Bey was able to play 21 minutes in his first game back. If the Pelicans are at 100 percent for Opening Night, Bey is likely to be one of the first wings off the bench.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Bey suffered a left ACL tear in March of 2023 and is unlikely to be ready for the start of next season. However, this didn't stop the Wizards from signing the 25-year-old forward to a three-year, $20 million contract this offseason. Even when available, Bey had a down year in 2023-24, averaging 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 63 appearances, including 51 starts. While the counting stats were solid, his efficiency was poor. Bey shot 41.6 percent from the field and converted just 31.6 percent of his 5.7 three-point attempts per contest last season. Even with the departure of Deni Avdija, Bey will still have plenty of competition for playing time in Washington's forward rotation when he is ready to take the court, as Kyle Kuzma, Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert will all be vying for minutes. With Bey likely to miss a large chunk of the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers should only draft him if they plan on stashing him on the IR to provide a scoring boost later on in the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Hoping to bring versatility
Bey said Tuesday that his role will be as the Swiss army knife for the Pelicans, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey added that he will rely on his versatility to be ready for whatever the game dictates. After missing the entire 2024-25 season rehabbing from a torn ACL, Bey deemed himself 100 percent and said he'll be ready to go for Opening Night. Bey projects to be the backup small forward behind Herbert Jones, but the former is also capable of playing shooting guard and power forward at times. Bey holds career regular-season averages of 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists, numbers that won't be easy to obtain in New Orleans' crowded wing rotation.
