2025 Fantasy Outlook
After career-high numbers during his first season in Utah, Markkanen's production and availability have taken a turn for the worse. He's never been the epitome of health, surpassing 60 regular-season games played only three times in eight years, but he hit an all-time low in 2024-25. He appeared in a career-low 47 contests and averaged fewer than 20 points a night for the first time as a member of the Jazz. Despite an all-around skill set that should allow him to flourish, Markkanen has finished inside the top 100 in eight-category leagues only three times, including a top-30 finish in 2022-23. Utah's frontcourt lost John Collins and a few reserve options this offseason but added Ace Bailey, Jusuf Nurkic, Georges Niang and Kevin Love to a group that returns Markkanen, Walker Kessler, Kyle Filipowski, Brice Sensabaugh and Cody Williams. Markkanen is projected to start at power forward again and could experience a boost in fantasy value if the Jazz can avoid the bottom of the standings for the first time in four seasons. However, if things continue to trend in the wrong direction, Utah may look to prioritize some of its younger options during the fantasy playoffs again. Despite the recent struggles, Markkanen signed a massive four-year extension in 2024, putting him under contract through the 2028-29 campaign. Hence, the Jazz have ample financial incentive to give Markkanen as long a leash as possible. While Markkanen's talent is undeniable, his health and Utah's lack of internal improvement are glaring red flags. Nonetheless, fantasy managers shouldn't be afraid to take a risk on the seven-foot Fin after pick 75. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $195.87 million contract extension with the Jazz in August of 2024. 
Posts team-high 22 points in defeat
Markkanen notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 137-117 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Markkanen played through his knee injury and recorded a solid total for his struggling squad, which suffered its fourth consecutive loss. The Jazz's roster situation looked bleak earlier in the week, but Markkanen's return and Jusuf Nurkic's injury tag removal certainly improved the team's chances of success in the frontcourt. Still, Markkanen had no answer for Deni Avdija and managed only four rebounds.

2017
After a career-high campaign during his first year in Utah, Markkanen took a slight step back in 2023-24, though injuries were the main culprit. He missed 17 of Utah's final 21 games, including nine straight to end the campaign and didn't participate in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament with Finland in July due to a right shoulder injury. He's expected to be 100 percent for training camp in the fall and can't be traded in 2024-25 after signing a five-year, $238 million extension this offseason. Markkanen has finished inside the top 100 in eight-category leagues just three times in his career, including a 68th-place finish last year. His 26th-place finish in 2022-23 is starting to look like an outlier. However, when he's available, Markkanen's elite three-point shot and efficient offensive game make him a strong fantasy option, regardless of who he's sharing the court with.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Utah looking to keep him
Utah has signaled a desire to build with Markkanen despite constant trade interest in his services, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite Utah's intentions, Scotto anticipates teams such as the Spurs, Grizzlies and Pistons to do their due diligence. "Those executives cited Markkanen as an ideal floor spacer next to Victor Wembanyama and young enough at 28 to fit San Antonio's surrounding young core," Scotto said. "Executives also pointed to the Grizzlies, who are loaded with first-round draft capital following the Desmond Bane trade and the flexibility to get another star to pair with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson, who are both 26 if they decide to remain competitive in the West."
