2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jazz traded Fontecchio to the Pistons during the 2023-24 season. That move turned out to be great for the Italian wing, who enjoyed a more significant role with Detroit until he suffered a toe injury that kept him away from the hardwood from March 17 until the end of the season. The small sample size was enough to create excitement in fantasy managers, however, as Fontecchio went from averaging 8.9 points and 3.5 rebounds across 23.2 minutes per game in Utah to delivering 15.4 points and 4.4 boards across 30.3 minutes per contest in Motor City. Fontecchio is rehabbing from the same toe injury that sidelined him at the end of the season, but he's expected to be fully healthy and available by the time the 2024-25 season starts. While he might open the season as Tobias Harris' backup, there's a strong chance Fontecchio's role will grow as the season progresses. Even if he stays in a bench role, Fontecchio's scoring figures and efficient shooting -- he made 40.1 percent of his threes in 2023-24 -- should be enough to make him a viable target, even as a waiver pickup, in category-based leagues and deeper formats. Ultimately, Fontecchio's role will determine just how much upside he will have. Read Past Outlooks

Disappointing season continues
FDetroit Pistons
December 5, 2024
Fontecchio registered four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fontecchio continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having exceeded 20 minutes only twice in the past two weeks. His production has subsequently suffered, as he is averaging just 6.4 points and 1.2 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per game across the first 22 games. There is a chance he lands a meaningful role if the Pistons opt to throw in the towel. Until then, he is likely to remain on the fringes of relevance.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite an encouraging end to the 2022-23 season, Fontecchio remains an afterthought in most fantasy formats. His strong production down the stretch last year came as the team shifted into playing their depth pieces, seeking a high draft pick. He was outside the top 400 in standard formats, a range that is likely to be on the cards once again. Playing behind the likes of Lauri Markkanen and Kelly Olynyk, as well as the recently acquired John Collins and Taylor Hendricks, Fontecchio is obviously the odd man out when it comes to minutes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to start for Detroit?
FDetroit Pistons
September 10, 2024
Fontecchio could open the 2024-25 season as part of the Pistons' starting lineup, James Edwards III of The Athletic speculates.
ANALYSIS
Fontecchio is a natural floor-spacer, and he'd complement a potential starting lineup of Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren quite well. Fontecchio is rehabbing from a toe injury but is expected to be fully available for training camp. He averaged 15.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.2 minutes for Detroit while starting in nine of 16 regular-season appearances following his trade from Utah.
