Fantasy Basketball Preseason Top 200 Rankings: Wemby, Jokić, Sga Headline The Board For 2026-27
As part of NBC Sports' preseason fantasy basketball coverage, we unveil the first edition of the Top 200 rankings that will be updated weekly throughout the regular season. While the names at the top aren't a surprise, this season could mark the dawn of a new era in fantasy basketball.
Denver's Nikola Jokić has led the way for multiple seasons, but San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama could take the crown in 2026-27. And one can't forget about Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has also been a mainstay at the top of the rankings in recent seasons.
While the rankings can be a useful tool for fantasy draft preparation, remember they don't reflect where a player should be selected. Washington's Anthony Davis is a prime example. He has certainly shown in previous seasons the ability to provide elite fantasy value. However, given his availability history, selecting him where he sits in these rankings carries significant risk.
Lastly, these rankings take into consideration the categories in nine-cat formats (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, three-pointers, field-goal percentage and free-throw percentage).
