Rest of Season
Rankings

Rest of season fantasy basketball rankings for points and 9-cat leagues, re-ranked from our projections after the games through 9 November 2026 (154 games of the 2026-27 season so far). These are the top 50 in each format, with each player's preseason consensus rank beside him and anyone who is out marked. The projections board holds the per-game numbers and re-ranks them under your own league's scoring, and the preseason rankings are the panel's board from before opening night.

Risers and fallers in points leagues

Up most on the preseason consensus: Walker Kessler (#49 to #30), Stephen Curry (#32 to #19), Jalen Brunson (#25 to #16). Down most: Paolo Banchero (#21 to #48), Josh Giddey (#17 to #40), LaMelo Ball (#29 to #43). New to the top 50 since the preseason consensus: Franz Wagner (#29), Darius Acuff Jr. (#31), Ty Jerome (#35), Ajay Mitchell (#37).

About the rest of season rankings

What are rest of season fantasy basketball rankings?

They rank players on what we expect from them from today to the end of the regular season, not on where they were drafted. Ours come from the League Winner projections, which are re-run every night with that day's box scores, so a player whose role has grown climbs and one whose role has shrunk falls.

How are these different from the preseason rankings?

The preseason consensus rankings are our analyst panel's board from before opening night and are not re-ranked in season. The Preseason column on this page shows that rank when it was in the free top 50, so you can see who has moved.

How often are the rest of season rankings updated?

Every night of the season, after the last game, with the date of the games they include at the top of the page.

Are the 9-cat and points rankings different?

Yes. Points rankings use standard ESPN points scoring, and 9-cat rankings value a player across the nine categories, so a player who shoots a poor free-throw percentage or turns the ball over a lot ranks lower in 9-cat. Set your own league's scoring on the projections board.
