| Notes | ||
| After a peak 2024, projections show small pullbacks in scoring (2,484 to 2,393), threes (163 to 145), and assists (486 to 470) with turnovers nudging up. The floor remains elite thanks to top-end efficiency (FG% ~.52) and steals (131 to 126) over a strong workload. He's still a first-rounder; the "faller" tag is only relative to last season's apex. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | James Harden rebounded in 2024-25, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 boards across 79 games for the Clippers, then posted 18.7/9.1 in the playoffs. He re-signed in July on a reported two-year, $81.5M deal, locking in his role as L.A.'s lead creator. For 2025-26, expect top-30 fantasy value built on elite assists, strong FT volume, and threes-plus the typical FG% and turnover tax. At 36, he logged heavy minutes last year, but managers should budget for occasional maintenance nights. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
