Ja Morant 2026-27 Fantasy Outlook: Fresh Start in Portland Backcourt

Ja Morant enters his first campaign with the Portland Trail Blazers in his age-27 prime, holding a locked-in starting backcourt role. With Shaedon Sharpe sidelined long-term, Morant will command primary playmaking responsibilities while co-existing alongside veteran Damian Lillard in a high-powered guard rotation.

During an abbreviated 2025 campaign, Morant posted 19.5 points and 8.1 assists across 27.9 minutes per game in 20 appearances. Fantasy managers are buying into his reset, as his lineup start rate surged from 59% in late August up to 76% heading into the season.

Drafted with an ADP near 56, Morant represents a mid-round pick with top-tier upside. While sharing shot volume with Lillard creates slight usage risk, Morant's playmaking floor and penetration make him a formidable fantasy asset if he maintains durability.
