Ben Simmons 2026-27 Season Outlook: Sacramento Rotation Wildcard

After missing extensive time due to physical setbacks, Ben Simmons returned to game action this preseason and entered Sacramento's starting backcourt alongside rookie Darius Acuff Jr. Simmons' strong exhibition showings have sparked renewed fantasy excitement, pushing his roster rate from single digits up to 48%.

Our models project Simmons for 11.9 fantasy points across 13.3 minutes per game, contributing 7.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per contest. While reports suggest starting duties to begin the regular season, our projections remain cautious about his durability, forecasting just 43 games played.

With an ADP near 149, the 30-year-old veteran profiles as an intriguing late-round stash. If his health cooperates and his playing time surpasses our baseline expectations, Simmons offers multi-category upside in assists, rebounds, and defensive stats for managers seeking high-ceiling depth.
