Franz Wagner Delivers Top-40 Fantasy Value for Orlando Magic Amidst Career-Highs

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner is a favored fantasy option for the 2025-26 season, outperforming teammate Paolo Banchero in analyst projections. Last season, Wagner provided top-40 per-game value in eight- and nine-category leagues, achieving career-high averages of 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.7 three-pointers across 60 games. He maintained strong shooting percentages at 46.3% from the field and 87.1% from the foul line. Despite a three-point shooting concern (29.5% last season, below 30% for two years), this is mitigated as it's not a scoring category in default fantasy leagues.
