Josh Hart

Hart's do-it-all mindset, coupled with Tom Thibodeau's reckless minute usage, made the Villanova guard one of the biggest fantasy surprises last season. Hart posted career highs in rebounds (9.6), assists (5.9), steals (1.5) and minutes (37.6) per game. He also shot over 50 percent from the field for a third time in four years, boosting his value immensely in category leagues. Hart's willingness to do whatever is needed on any given night, and the fact that he's missed only 12 regular-season games over the past three campaigns, gives him a high fantasy floor to go with a top-25 ceiling. However, with Thibodeau no longer in town, it's unclear how an inevitably lower minutes total will impact Hart's bottom line in 2025-26. After a disappointing loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks' front office blamed the coach, as the starting five is all set to return. Miles McBride and Mitchell Robinson will also return to key depth roles. Still, New York made a few upgrades around the edges, replacing Cameron Payne with Jordan Clarkson and Precious Achiuwa with Guerschon Yabusele. Hart will remain the Knicks' lynchpin in real life, but a perfect storm last season may have led to an unrepeatable fantasy performance.
