Jusuf Nurkić Steps Up as Jazz Center with Kessler Out, Strong Fantasy Outlook

AutoDraft Pro AI

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkić is a top fantasy add, stepping into a primary role with Walker Kessler sidelined for the season due to a shoulder injury. Nurkić has played over 30 minutes in his last two games without Kessler, averaging 39.5 fantasy points in High Score and 1.22 fantasy points per minute. While the Jazz only have one game remaining this week on Friday, his increased opportunity size makes him a valuable hold beyond Week 3 in fantasy leagues.
