2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Shockers: Can Franz Wagner and Zion Williamson Defy Expectations and Dominate?

2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Shockers: Can Franz Wagner and Zion Williamson Defy Expectations and Dominate?

Nikola Jokić headlines Rotoworld’s Preseason Top 200, but key injuries across the league make this one of the most unpredictable fantasy seasons in years.

🏀 Raphielle Johnson’s picks: F Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic) and F OG Anunoby (New York Knicks)

While Magic forward Paolo Banchero has been tabbed by many as a breakout candidate this season, I think there’s a better fantasy option on his team’s roster. That would be Wagner, who offered top-40 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats last season. In 60 games, he averaged 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers, posting career-high marks in each category. If there’s a concern regarding Wagner, who shot 46.3 percent from the field and 87.1 percent from the foul line, it’s the three-point shooting. He only made 29.5 percent of his attempts last season and has shot below 30 percent each of the last two years. However, three-point percentage isn’t a scoring category in default fantasy leagues, so there’s no need to lose sleep over this.
