2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Rankings: Round 10

109. Anfernee Simons

Boston Celtics offseason addition Anfernee Simons is in for a big year, as the team’s superstar is likely sidelined for all of 2025-26. The 26-year-old’s primary source of value comes from the offensive categories, namely points, threes, free throw percentage and assists, while he struggles most with shooting efficiency. The guard’s numbers could dip once the roster is fully healthy.

110. Jeremiah Fears

2025 seventh overall pick Jeremiah Fears is a questionable fit on the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the talent is there, and the guard is more of a long-term pick than an immediate fantasy contributor. The 18-year-old needs to develop his offensive game and find his shooting stroke; until then, his best assets are his steals and free-throw percentage.

111. Daniel Gafford

Since being traded to the Dallas Mavericks, Daniel Gafford’s impact has taken a nosedive. He’s competing for minutes in a crowded frontcourt and mostly comes off the bench. However, the 26-year-old still manages to string together some strong performances and continues to provide good points, rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage.

112. Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler’s fantasy ranking has declined over the past few seasons, but a new home with the Golden State Warriors gives managers some peace of mind. Now, the main thing that they have to worry about is his age of nearly 36. The only areas the forward lacks are threes and blocks, and he offers great production everywhere else with low turnovers.

113. Kawhi Leonard

It’s understandably hard for some to trust Kawhi Leonard’s health. Over the past eight years, he’s only appeared in 60+ games twice. Still, even with his production declining, he’s an elite fantasy player when he’s on the court. The 34-year-old is extremely versatile and is one of the best two-way players in the NBA. Leonard’s biggest weakness is the tenth category: availability.

114. Payton Pritchard

Payton Pritchard is coming off a huge breakout and a Sixth Man of the Year win. The guard’s ability to carve out a role for himself and put up big numbers despite coming off the bench for one of the most stacked teams in the league was impressive. The 27-year-old established himself as a three-point threat who can also convert shots efficiently and provide some assists and steals.

115. Nic Claxton

Nic Claxton is coming off a disappointing season, but some of the blame can be placed on the plethora of issues the Brooklyn Nets have. The center’s blocks and rebounds dropped, and he’s yet to grow his offensive skillset. Still, the 26-year-old has the tools to get back on track defensively. Poor free-throw percentage and threes will continue to drag Claxton down. 

116. Deandre Ayton

The Los Angeles Lakers solved their starting center problem by signing Deandre Ayton. He’s expected to play a significant role, and his availability could also improve now that he’s no longer on a tanking team. The 27-year-old can be a consistent double-double threat with some stocks. Ayton doesn’t offer any threes, and his free-throw percentage and playmaking abilities are poor. 

117. Rudy Gobert

Over the past few years, Rudy Gobert’s taken a step back in his production. Known for his defensive contributions, his blocks and rebounds were some of the lowest marks of his career. Even with consistency issues, the big man remains an anchor defensively for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 33-year-old also doesn’t offer much offensively aside from a high field goal percentage. 

118. Julius Randle

Julius Randle’s first season with the Minnesota Timberwolves was one of his worst in years. His points and rebounds dropped, and his inconsistency also frustrated managers. It’s unlikely his fantasy ranking reaches the same peak it did with the New York Knicks. The 30-year-old is still a solid source of numbers in the three main categories, even with his minutes slightly lower.

119. Jaden Ivey

Jaden Ivey started to find his footing in his third season until a broken leg shut him down. He’s yet to be a consistent fantasy contributor, but has taken great strides in his development by improving offensively through his scoring and increasing his range. The 23-year-old has shown potential on both ends of the floor, but his shooting percentages and turnovers still need work. 

120. LeBron James

The biggest downside to drafting LeBron James in a dynasty league is Father Time. The soon-to-be 41-year-old doesn’t have many seasons left in him as retirement approaches. Still, he continues to perform at a high level each year and provides stellar value across the board. His main shortcoming is turnovers, with smaller impacts in steals, blocks and free throw percentage.
