2025 Fantasy Outlook
Last year was another injury-riddled campaign for Williamson, who appeared in just 30 games - the fourth time in his six-year career that he's played 30 or fewer games. For context, he's played fewer total minutes in his career than Paolo Banchero. Despite that, Williamson arguably played at the highest level of his career when available, setting per-36-minute career highs nearly across the board. However, he actually saw just 28.6 minutes per game due to injury management and the Pelicans' overall struggles - posting 24.6 points on 56.7 field-goal percentage, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks. New Orleans will look a bit different this season, namely due to trading CJ McCollum for Jordan Poole. Dejounte Murray is still recovering from an Achilles tear as well. The team probably can't perform much worse than the 21 wins they accrued last season, but it's probably not wise to expect a major leap in a loaded Western Conference. Some of that will also depend on Williamson's health. All in all, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of Williamson's fantasy value for the upcoming season. He showed growth, but can he be trusted to play 50 games? He's routinely been drafted in the 30-40 range depending on format, but don't be surprised if he starts to slip into the 50 range in 2025-26 fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $197.23 million contract extension with the Pelicans in July of 2022. 
Drops 32 points in defeat
Williamson finished Monday's 130-125 loss to the Knicks with 32 points (11-16 FG, 10-12 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After coming off the bench in each of the Pelicans' previous six contests, Williamson returned to the starting lineup and racked up a game- and season-high 32 points. He has scored at least 20 points in six consecutive contests. The star forward also tallied multiple steals and multiple blocks for just the second time this season, both of which have come in New Orleans' last two games. Williamson still appears to be on a minutes restriction after missing six straight games from late November to early-to-mid-December due to a right adductor injury, though he has still logged at least 28 minutes in three straight games.

2019
Williamson appeared in a career-high 70 games in 2023-24, but he suffered yet another hamstring strain during the Pelicans' Play-In Tournament loss to the Lakers and was sidelined for the rest of the postseason - New Orleans was swept by Oklahoma City in the first round. In those 70 regular-season appearances, Williamson averaged 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks with 57/33/70 shooting splits. Even with a relatively healthy regular season, Williamson finished 67th in eight-category leagues. He certainly has more value in points leagues, but the 2019 No. 1 overall pick's poor work from three-point range and at the charity stripe, plus his injury history, makes him a liability in category leagues. The Pelicans finally added a true point guard in Dejounte Murray this offseason, which should increase everyone's offensive efficiency, but Murray could also take away some of Williamson's usage. Williamson may also be asked to play more center in 2024-25 given the departure of Jonas Valanciunas. A boost in efficiency and a couple more rebounds per game could give Williamson early-round value, but he's a safer pick in the middle rounds of drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Chicago
Williamson could be an option for the Bulls ahead of the trade deadline, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sidery notes that the Bulls are viewed as a realistic potential trade destination for Williamson due to owning over $80 million in expiring contracts. There's been mixed reporting about Williamson's availability in New Orleans, though it's not a surprise to see him in the rumor mill yet again, given the slow start for New Orleans. The forward is dealing with yet another injury, this time to his adductor, that will sideline him for multiple weeks.
