De'Aaron Fox 2026-27 Season Outlook: Veteran Floor in San Antonio

Fox enters his second campaign in San Antonio firmly entrenched as the starting point guard atop the depth chart. Having recently organized voluntary offseason workouts in Houston to build team chemistry, the 28-year-old offers steady veteran leadership alongside Victor Wembanyama in a promising Spurs rotation.

Last season with San Antonio, Fox posted 18.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.2 steals across 30.8 minutes in 78 games while shooting 49.0% from the floor. Our baseline projection expects around 30.9 fantasy points per contest, aligning cleanly with his fourth-round ADP of 41.30.

While sharing backcourt touches with young guard Stephon Castle caps Fox's chances of returning to his peak 25-point scoring volume, his durability and two-way floor remain elite. Fantasy managers can comfortably draft and deploy him as a dependable, top-40 overall asset.

Outlook Kel'el Ware

Kel'el Ware Season Outlook: High-Upside Frontcourt Depth in Milwaukee

Ware enters his third NBA campaign at age 22 slotted behind starting veteran center Myles Turner on Milwaukee's depth chart. With no fresh news updates to report, his value stems from high-efficiency rim protection and floor spacing. He demonstrated durability last year with 78 appearances in Miami, proving capable of producing even in a condensed 22-minute rotational role.

During his 2025 campaign, Ware averaged 11.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 39.0% from beyond the arc. That unique blend of perimeter shooting and interior deterrence provides reliable category floor, demonstrating that his per-minute efficiency can sustain fantasy relevance even in a reserve capacity.

Fantasy managers are aggressively buying in near his 102.8 ADP, pushing his roster rate from 41% up to 79% over recent weeks. While Turner secures the starting duties, Ware remains an upside bench stash who would immediately step into standard-league must-start status if elevated.
