Anthony Davis and Trae Young in Washington's opener, and the rookie who sat

Anthony Davis scored 34 points with 12 rebounds and four assists in his first regular-season game for Washington on Wednesday, a 128-116 win over Milwaukee, and Trae Young added 20 points and 13 assists, according to NBA.com's recap. The box score our projections read from ESPN overnight has Davis at 34 minutes with 14 free-throw attempts, and Young at 38 minutes, with 16 trips to the line and no made threes. AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 pick, does not appear in that box score, after spraining his ankle in the preseason finale and being called day to day before the opener, which we covered in AJ Dybantsa sprains his ankle.

The fantasy question about these Wizards was always how three players who all want the ball would share it, and the first game answered it for two of them: Davis and Young took it, and nobody else came close. That is good news for the two stars and an open question for Dybantsa, whose projection did not move because he did not play. Below is what one game did to each of their lines, and what we would do about it.

Every player in this story is on the fantasy basketball rankings and the 2026-27 projections, and the NBA depth charts show where each one stands in his team’s rotation tonight.
