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

Looks sharp in preseason win
Williamson (back) produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals in 16 minutes in Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
ANALYSIS
Williamson, who was shut down on March 19 of last season due to a back bone bruise, started the preseason opener and looked sharp in his short stint on the court. Williamson said during Media Day that he was feeling good, and he's drawing rave reviews from his teammates for his conditioning and leadership. His fantasy arrow is certainly pointing up so far.

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

Accepts pressure from front office
Williamson revealed he's fine with the recent comments made by the Pelicans' president of basketball operations, Joe Dumars, earlier this week regarding the role the star forward needs to have on the team, according to Brett Martel of The Associated Press. "He's going to hold me accountable, and as he holds me accountable, he's going to give me a lot of responsibility as well, which I'm excited for," Williamson said. "I know he's going to hold me to a really high standard, and if I slip up or anything, I know he's going to be right there to make sure I get right back on the path."
ANALYSIS
Head coach Willie Green also talked about Williamson and had nothing but praise for the star forward. It appears that the Pelicans are fully committed to believing Williamson will do what's best for the team this season, and personnel in the front office, including Dumars and general manager Troy Weaver, are impressed with Williamson's commitment to conditioning. If he stays in shape and on the court, the Pelicans could be a dangerous team in 2025-26. Williamson averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game for the Pelicans in 30 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.
