Victor Wembanyama Challenges Jokić for Top Fantasy Spot Despite Injury Concerns

Third-year phenom Victor Wembanyama, after an even better Year 2 following his Rookie of the Year campaign, is emerging as a legitimate threat to Nikola Jokić's reign as fantasy's top center. In the 2024-25 season, Wembanyama averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 3.8 blocks, and 3.1 three-pointers for the San Antonio Spurs. His freakish skillset and out-of-this-world defensive contributions provide an elite fantasy boost. While injuries derailed a promising 2024-25 season, with availability being the only concern, he is projected to be a 20/10/3 player averaging close to five steals and blocks per contest, making him a high-upside pick.
