Outlook Devin Vassell

Devin Vassell 2026-27 Outlook: Dependable Starting Wing in Spurs Rotation

Devin Vassell enters his age-26 season maintaining a starting role on San Antonio's depth chart. With high-usage creators De'Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama pacing the offense, Vassell will function largely as a secondary scoring option and floor-spacing wing. With no fresh news updates, his starting perimeter role remains secure heading into the year.

Our models project Vassell to average 28.5 minutes, 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game across 72 appearances. Over a full slate, that translates to approximately 975 points with solid defensive counting stats. While his offensive usage is slightly curtailed, his projected 44.4% field goal mark offers dependable efficiency.

With an ADP near 122, fantasy expectations have softened alongside a recent dip in roster ownership down to 63%. Vassell may not offer explosive scoring upside, but his guaranteed minutes and reliable two-way contributions make him a steady late-round stabilizer in standard formats.

Outlook Ja Morant

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

Entering his prime at age 27, Ja Morant embarks on a fresh chapter in Portland. After shaking off early rust, he flashed his explosive form during the preseason, recently scoring 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting. With Damian Lillard sharing the starting backcourt, Morant will split primary playmaking duties while retaining high-leverage scoring chances.

Our models project Morant for 19.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals across 29.6 minutes per game. While sharing creation reps trims his assist ceiling compared to his peak Memphis campaigns, he remains a potent source of rim pressure and offers a strong 86.5% mark from the free-throw line.

Carrying an ADP around 68.4, Morant profiles as an enticing mid-round target. Our projection expects 63 games played, making durability the main throttle on his total output. Nonetheless, his dynamic per-game ceiling makes him a high-reward guard capable of outplaying his draft valuation.
