2025 Fantasy Outlook
Normally a steady source of strong fantasy production, VanVleet took a sizable step back last season. His assists-included usage rate (19.7%) reached a career low, and his true-shooting percentage (51.5%) was the second-worst of his career. The good news is that he was still strong defensively, ranking 20th in the NBA in steal percentage (2.2). But the overall stat line - 14.1 points and 2.7 threes on 38/35/81 shooting, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals - burned fantasy managers who drafted him in the 30-50 range. It's possible the 31-year-old will bounce back in terms of efficiency, but it wouldn't be surprising to see another low-usage season and reduced minutes given Houston's surrounding cast. Amen Thompson looks ready for increased touches, and Kevin Durant will be taking plenty of shots. Reed Sheppard struggled as a rookie, but maybe he'll be ready for a real role this year. VanVleet used to be better in fantasy than in real basketball; now the opposite is probably true. He also hasn't been especially healthy throughout his career, and there could be some rest days if the Rockets are as good as anticipated. Read Past Outlooks

To sign two-year deal with Houston
VanVleet will sign a two-year, $50 million contract with the Rockets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
In order to do this, the Rockets will officially decline VanVleet's $44.9 million team option for 2025-26. His new two-year deal will include a player option for 2026-27. A reunion always seems like the most likely outcome, with both sides seemingly motivated to get this done right away. In 60 regular-season contests in 2024-25, VanVleet shot just 37.8 percent from the field with averages of 14.1 points, 5.6 assists and 3.7 rebounds.

Though he's made just one All-Star game, VanVleet has been a top-30 fantasy talent for half a decade. That didn't change last season despite the point guard moving from Toronto to Houston in free agency. He was able to pull back his scoring burden and focus on being a floor general for the up-and-coming Rockets. That resulted in a five-year scoring low (17.4 PPG), but VanVleet registered a career-high 8.1 assists with just 1.7 turnovers and reached a true-shooting career high of 56.8 percent. That was in addition to his quality defensive numbers (1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks) despite being listed at only six feet tall. Houston added even more young talent this summer, selecting guard Reed Sheppard with the No. 3 overall pick. That's in addition to other scorers or playmakers like Jalen Green, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore. It's possible coach Ime Udoka has the 30-year-old VanVleet slightly pull back his role again to help facilitate the futures of the franchise, especially with FVV having averaged over 36 minutes per game in four straight seasons. Either way, he's a bit of an injury risk given the excessive minutes, age and having cracked 70 games just twice in his career (73 last year). A downward trend is more likely than an upward one, but that doesn't mean fantasy managers should avoid him if he's available in the third round.
