2025 Fantasy Outlook
Last year was another injury-riddled campaign for Williamson, who appeared in just 30 games - the fourth time in his six-year career that he's played 30 or fewer games. For context, he's played fewer total minutes in his career than Paolo Banchero. Despite that, Williamson arguably played at the highest level of his career when available, setting per-36-minute career highs nearly across the board. However, he actually saw just 28.6 minutes per game due to injury management and the Pelicans' overall struggles - posting 24.6 points on 56.7 field-goal percentage, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks. New Orleans will look a bit different this season, namely due to trading CJ McCollum for Jordan Poole. Dejounte Murray is still recovering from an Achilles tear as well. The team probably can't perform much worse than the 21 wins they accrued last season, but it's probably not wise to expect a major leap in a loaded Western Conference. Some of that will also depend on Williamson's health. All in all, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of Williamson's fantasy value for the upcoming season. He showed growth, but can he be trusted to play 50 games? He's routinely been drafted in the 30-40 range depending on format, but don't be surprised if he starts to slip into the 50 range in 2025-26 fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $197.23 million contract extension with the Pelicans in July of 2022. 
Low volume in loss
Williamson closed Friday's 117-113 loss to the Kings with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Williamson's usual lines are essential to a productive night for the Pelicans, but he was unable to optimize his involvement in the offense during the loss. After a four-game stretch with totals of 20-plus points, he's failed to hit that milestone in four consecutive games, largely due to a slight reduction in minutes. With New Orleans having nothing to play for, we'll likely see more games in which Williamson will log less than 30 minutes as the season draws to a close.

2019
Williamson appeared in a career-high 70 games in 2023-24, but he suffered yet another hamstring strain during the Pelicans' Play-In Tournament loss to the Lakers and was sidelined for the rest of the postseason - New Orleans was swept by Oklahoma City in the first round. In those 70 regular-season appearances, Williamson averaged 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks with 57/33/70 shooting splits. Even with a relatively healthy regular season, Williamson finished 67th in eight-category leagues. He certainly has more value in points leagues, but the 2019 No. 1 overall pick's poor work from three-point range and at the charity stripe, plus his injury history, makes him a liability in category leagues. The Pelicans finally added a true point guard in Dejounte Murray this offseason, which should increase everyone's offensive efficiency, but Murray could also take away some of Williamson's usage. Williamson may also be asked to play more center in 2024-25 given the departure of Jonas Valanciunas. A boost in efficiency and a couple more rebounds per game could give Williamson early-round value, but he's a safer pick in the middle rounds of drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Washington
While New Orleans has publicly indicated it does not plan to trade Williamson, Josh Robbins of The Athletic expressed some skepticism.
ANALYSIS
Washington has been mentioned as a speculative long-shot suitor if the acquisition cost were to drop significantly. Health concerns and cultural fit remain major risk factors for the Wizards. Any deal would almost certainly exclude Washington's own future first-round picks. However, Robbins noted that the Wizards could look to unload some other draft capital owed to them.
