2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Markkanen was one of the feel-good stories to come out of the 2022-23 season, ending as the 23rd-ranked player in standard formats and winning the Most Improved Player award. Coming into the season, while he was seen as a potential breakout candidate, even the savviest of managers could not have foreseen what was to come. Playing as the primary offensive option on a rebuilding Utah team, Markkanen hit the ground running, putting up first-round value for much of the first half of the season. He closed the season with career-high numbers of 25.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 3.0 three-pointers. He also shot a career-best 49.9 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the stripe. Despite coming into the season as a team with nothing to play for, the Jazz surprised many people, with Markkanen at the forefront of their early season charge. Things did taper off as the season progressed, during which time Markkanen was given more than a few nights off. After a strong NBA draft this summer, the Jazz are already looking as though they might be ready to push back into the playoffs. Markkanen will almost certainly be the number one option once again, ensuring another strong season. However, with the addition of talent like John Collins, as well as the rise of Walker Kessler, there is a chance Markkanen could struggle to repeat his heroics from last season. He feels like a relatively safe target in the early third round of drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could be on the move
Executives around the league believe the Jazz are willing to listen to trade offers for Markkanen, according to Bill Simmons of The Ringer.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz are in the early stages of a rebuild and are coming off a 17-65 season, which the franchise was fined for a lack of player participation. Markkanen made just 47 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, posting averages of 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 31.4 minutes. He's under contract through the 2027-28 campaign, however, as he signed a four-year, $195.87 million contract extension back in August of 2024. At that price, it will be interesting to see what kind of market he has.
