2025 Fantasy Outlook
Better suited for points leagues, Barrett has finished inside the top 150 in eight-category leagues only once in six years. The only time he reached that plateau was during his sophomore campaign with the Knicks in 2020-21, when he made 72 regular-season appearances and shot a career-high 40.1 percent from deep. The lack of production in category leagues is due to missed time (58 regular-season appearances in each of the last two seasons), lackluster defense (career-high 1.3 stocks as a rookie) and poor shooting percentages. He appears to have turned a corner in the efficiency department since joining the Raptors. After a mid-season trade to Toronto in 2023-24, Barrett went from shooting 42.3 percent with the Knicks through 26 games to 55.3 percent in 32 games with the Raptors. He wasn't able to replicate that during a full season, but his 46.8 percent mark last year was nearly three points higher than his best finish in New York. However, the real concern is Barrett's work from the charity stripe. Since joining Toronto, he's shot 63 percent. That was never the strongest part of his game, but he shot over 71 percent in each of his final three full seasons with the Knicks and was shooting 83.1 percent before the trade. Barrett wasn't the only Raptor to miss time in 2024-25, as Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes also missed large chunks of the season due to injuries, plus Brandon Ingram, who was acquired at the trade deadline and given an extension, never made his debut. That allowed Barrett to handle more playmaking duties, and he finished with a career-high 5.4 assists per game. While his starting spot is secure to begin the campaign, there'll be plenty of mouths to feed in Toronto when everyone is healthy, and if Barrett's efficiency slips again, he may be the odd man out at the top in terms of usage.

Despite finishing just inside the top 200 in standard fantasy formats, Barrett managed to increase his numbers across the board during the 2023-24 season. A mid-season move to Toronto seemed to revitalize Barrett, providing him with an opportunity to take on more of a leadership role both on and off the court. He finished the season by scoring at least 25 points in four of his final six games, albeit six games interrupted by a leave of absence due to personal reasons. He finished with averages of 20.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 three-pointers, all serviceable numbers. However, his efficiency took the biggest steps, shooting a career-best 49.5 percent from the field. Given his previous best was 44.1 percent during his sophomore season, managers may want to pause before assuming that he will repeat that performance this season. With that said, his role in Toronto figures to be significant, making him someone to consider towards the end of drafts. If you can stomach his poor free-throw shooting and lack of defensive stats, there could be some meat on the bone moving forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Toronto tried to move him
Michael Grange of Sportsnet reported Saturday that the Raptors attempted to trade Barrett over the offseason.
ANALYSIS
According to Grange, the Raptors deemed him most available "because of the combination of his age, his scoring punch and his contract as Toronto angled to add a more established perimeter threat or briefly tried to work their way into the discussion Phoenix was having about a possible destination for Kevin Durant." Nothing came to fruition, however, meaning Barrett is now set to be in the starting lineup for Opening Night. That being said, if the Raptors get off to a slow start and Barrett doesn't mesh well with Brandon Ingram, he could find himself right back in the rumor mill.
