Is Ant-Man a Top 10 Pick? Timberwolves Fantasy Outlook 2025-26

The Minnesota Timberwolves, having reached the Western Conference Finals in consecutive seasons, aim to build on their success for the 2025-26 season. Key players Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Rudy Gobert are central to their prospects.

Anthony Edwards has ascended to become one of the NBA's best players, improving his game yearly. Last season saw significant gains in his three-point shooting (39.5%) and scoring (27.6 ppg). To elevate his fantasy value further and solidify a top-five player status, improving his playmaking (currently averaging 4.5 assists) is crucial. Despite being ranked as the 8th best fantasy player, he is projected as the top shooting guard in fantasy basketball.

Rudy Gobert is viewed as a solid fantasy option, offering consistent double-double potential and shot-blocking, providing a safe floor. However, due to limited upside and center position depth, his ranking as the 65th overall and 16th center is appropriate, and drafting him higher isn't advised.

Julius Randle presents better fantasy value than Gobert, ranked 76th overall. He delivers above-average production across categories (18.7 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 4.7 apg, 33.1 fantasy points last season) and offers more upside, making him a strong draft choice at his current value.

With minimal free agency moves, the Timberwolves expect younger players to step up. Nickeil Alexander-Walker's departure creates opportunities for Terrance Shannon Jr. and rookie Rob Dillingham to emerge as potential fantasy sleepers. Jaden McDaniels is also anticipated to take on a larger offensive role.

Overall, the Timberwolves are expected to offer significant fantasy value, led by Edwards (top SG), with Randle seen as a better draft value than Gobert, alongside McDaniels and the potential sleepers Shannon Jr. and Dillingham.
