2025 Fantasy Outlook
Watford is coming off a career-best season in Brooklyn, although injuries kept him from truly hitting his stride. Across 44 regular-season appearances, Watford averaged 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers across 20.8 minutes per game. Overall, on a per-game basis in standard nine-category leagues, he finished outside the top 300. The 76ers signed him to a two-year, $5.3 million deal on the opening day of free agency, as they needed some frontcourt depth to offset the loss of Guerschon Yabusele. The health of Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) remains in question, but the 76ers were able to bring back Andre Drummond. Additionally, Kelly Oubre and Justin Edwards are capable of playing as a small-ball four. Watford's path to minutes certainly isn't easy, but that could change if/when George and Embiid miss time due to injuries. But purely from an upside perspective, Watford's lack of peripheral stats really holds him back. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2.46 million contract with the 76ers in July of 2025. Contract includes $2.8 million team option for 2026-27. 
Progressing, but lacks return date
The 76ers announced Monday that Watford (adductor) is "continuing to progress" and is "being reintegrated into team activities," Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Watford was able to take part in Monday's practice in some capacity, but the 76ers aren't yet willing to issue a target date for his potential return to the court. The 25-year-old forward hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left adductor strain and appears destined to miss the final two contests of the 76ers' five-game road trip, at a minimum.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Watford spent the first two years of his career with the Trail Blazers, and while he featured more regularly in his sophomore year in 2023-24, his production was steady. However, in Watford's case, steady means he, once again, had minimal fantasy upside across all formats. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game across 62 regular-season appearances (12 starts) in 2023-24. He was traded to the Nets before the start of the 2024-25, and although he might have more chances to play regularly in Brooklyn, he's not likely to garner a starting role any time soon. Since he'll be a backup in a rebuilding team, Watford is not expected to have a lot of upside in fantasy in most formats in 2024-25. He might be a decent streaming option in very deep leagues, but even that's a long shot and would depend heavily on his playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Draws comparison to Ben Simmons
Joel Embiid compared Watford to peak Ben Simmons after his triple-double in Saturday's win over the Raptors, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
"Watford reminded me of Ben Simmons [tonight]," Embiid said after the win over the Raptors. "That was good. We miss those. Triple double, doing everything, so that was good." It was Watford's first start of the 2025-26 season, and he's clearly in line for a bigger role after turning heads in a game where the Sixers needed his contributions en route to a 130-120 victory.
