Nate Miller - FantasyPros Wed, Jan 14th | Embiid finished with 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting Wednesday, converting all four free-throw attempts while adding four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Philadelphia's loss to Cleveland.

| The model nudges him up again in points (2,071 to 2,235) and assists (716 to 777) with steady boards (892 to 899) and elite efficiency (FG% ~.58). Turnovers rise modestly on huge usage, but the across-the-board dominance remains unmatched. He's the safest No. 1 in standard builds and a categorical cheat code in roto. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Embiid's projection nearly triples his 2024 output thanks to more games played (452 to 1,510 PTS; 155 to 499 REB). The efficiency remains elite, and his block/stocks are still strong. As always, health is the swing factor, but on a per-game basis he's still a top-5 fantasy stud. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
