Stephen Curry at 38 is a second-round 9-cat player at a third-round price

Stephen Curry and the Warriors agreed on a two-year, $116 million extension in September, reported by ESPN and the Associated Press, which keeps him in Golden State through 2028-29 at less than the $136 million he was eligible for. He is 38, and the team around him is short of healthy players: Jimmy Butler is recovering from a torn ACL and expected back in January or February, and Kristaps Porziņģis is out indefinitely with a health issue the team has not described, as CBS Sports and Bleacher Report reported from the start of camp.

That makes Curry the center of the Warriors' offense again, and in categories leagues his skills are the hardest to replace on any board. The two questions are whether 38-year-old legs give you enough games, and whether your league's drafters will let him fall far enough to make the risk worth taking.

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.
