It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Brandon Ingram this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Toronto Raptors Small Forward.
Should You Draft Brandon Ingram in Fantasy Basketball?
Brandon Ingram was limited to just 18 outings last season due to a sprained left ankle and didn’t suit up for Toronto following his trade deadline move from New Orleans. However, he has reportedly returned to full strength ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. The 28-year-old wing is expected to serve as an offensive focal point alongside Scottie Barnes for a Raptors squad looking to take the next step in a watered-down Eastern Conference.
Ingram is a bona fide bucket-getter, having scored at least 20.8 points per game in each of his six seasons with the Pelicans. Across 305 appearances with the franchise, he averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.8 3-pointers per game on strong 47.2/37.2/84.7 shooting splits, undeniably star-caliber numbers.
Unfortunately for Ingram, he has played in 64 or fewer games in eight consecutive campaigns, resulting in just one All-Star selection to date. His durability concerns will likely push him into the sixth or seventh-round range in standard fantasy formats, though he carries top-50 upside when healthy.
