2025 Fantasy Outlook
Coulibaly made another impressive developmental leap in his second season, although injuries limited him to 59 regular-season appearances. Coulibaly averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 33.0 minutes per game. Despite these solid counting stats, he shot just 42.1 percent from the field and 74.6 percent from the line, and that contributed to him finishing outside the top-150 in standard nine-category leagues. His three-point shot also regressed from 34 percent as a rookie to 28 percent in 2024-25. As for the new season, the Wizards still project to be an uninspiring team at this point in their rebuild, but that's good news for Coulibaly's outlook as he's going to get a ton of minutes. The presence of Khris Middleton and CJ McCollum complicates things from a usage perspective, but Coulibaly is someone who could trend up throughout the season as the Wizards begin to dial back their veterans. The forward has appetizing steal/block rates, and he showed tremendous growth as a playmaker last season. However, in order for him to truly break out, there needs to be some serious positive regression with his shooting. There's still a lot to like here as a late-round pick with upside, but the 20-year-old forward will likely miss the start of the campaign while recovering from offseason thumb surgery.

Signed a two-year, $13.56 million contract with the Wizards in July of 2023. Wizards exercised $7.28 million team option for 2025-26 in October of 2024. Wizards exercised $9.24 million team option for 2026-27 in October of 2025. 
Out with ankle sprain
Coulibaly is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
It'll be a second consecutive absence for Coulibaly, who had just returned from a lengthy layoff with an oblique strain. The versatile forward's absence in addition to Khris Middleton (knee) sitting out should allow Justin Champagnie to command streaming attention in all fantasy formats against San Antonio.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
It's difficult to get excited about Coulibaly when looking at his statistics, but people in Washington have been raving about the former top-10 pick. Some have compared him to Giannis Antetokounmpo, but that seems dramatic at this point. After struggling the first few weeks, Coulibaly averaged 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.0 threes across 28 minutes over his final 55 games. None of those numbers jump off the page, but few players provide value in every category like that. Coulibaly is also supposed to be an elite defender, and it'll be interesting to see the 20-year-old wing play over 30 minutes for a rebuilding Washington team. It remains to be seen if Coulibaly will start. Alex Sarr and Kyle Kuzma are projected to start at the forward spots. That's a frustrating development for such a talented youngster, but Coulibaly should still have plenty of developmental opportunities. There's also some thought that Kuzma will be traded at some point, which could move Coulibaly right into a 35-minute role as a starter. The young wing could be a top-50 player with that role combined with his nine-category potential, making Coulibaly an enticing late-round flier at the end of drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No clear return date
Coulibaly, who's working his way back from a calf injury, doesn't have a concrete date for his return to the hardwood, according to Varun Shankar of The Washington Post.
ANALYSIS
Coulibaly has missed four games in a row and doesn't have a clear date to return to action. However, he was seen doing "limited work" at the end of Thursday's shootaround, so he might be a few days away from returning even in a best-case scenario. Head coach Brian Keefe said the forward is making progress but didn't offer a timetable for when he might be ready to play.
