2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bassett had the best season of his career in 2024, setting career highs in goals (9) and assists (7). However, a quad issue forced him to miss the final four matches of the regular season and the playoffs. Bassett out produced his Non-Penalty Expected Goals and Expected Assists (npxG+xAG) by 5.7 goals, pointing to a regression in decisive actions in 2025. Even with a possible reduction in decisive actions, Bassett will remain a key player in an exciting Colorado Rapids core.
Fully training
Bassett (undisclosed) is in full training again and trending towards being an option, according to Adam Susman of Timbers FC.
ANALYSIS
Bassett has missed the past few weeks of action but could be making his first appearance since week 2, as the midfielder was able to fully participate in training. The midfielder likely now needs to pass some testing to play, not too far from seeing the field again. He started in the opening two games of the season, likely to earn the role back once fit.
