For the second year in a row, Claxton took a step back as a fantasy producer. At his peak in 2022-23, he was averaging 12.6 points on 70.5 shooting, 9.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 29.9 minutes. Last year, he averaged 10.3 points on 56.3 shooting, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.9 minutes. While Claxton has become a better passer and has attempted to expand his game beyond being just a rollman, the results have not been promising and have ultimately damaged his fantasy value. At the same time, backup center Day'Ron Sharpe's minutes and role have been increasing, as have Noah Clowney's - who can play the four or the five. Claxton is probably still worth rostering in fantasy, especially in two-center formats. He has some upside, but a lot of that depends on his workload and whether or not he goes back to what he does best.
