2025-26 fantasy basketball rankings: Roto and category

March 6: Tatum back in green

Despite tearing his Achilles tendon in last season's playoffs, Jayson Tatum refused to say he would miss this entire season. He started practicing with the Celtics' G-League affiliate last month and has recently practiced with the big team. And it's official that he is returning to play for the Celtics this week. Tatum is expected to be on a heavy minutes restriction early and a managed ramp-up for the rest of the season, but even on a partial schedule Tatum could be an impact player. It is difficult to know what to expect from him, but a top-10 fantasy player when fully healthy deserves a top-100 initial ranking that we'll modify as we get more information.
