The Toronto Raptors' playoff run may have ended in a hard-fought seven-game series against the Cavaliers, but for fantasy basketball managers, this season was a rollercoaster worth revisiting. Entering as the No. 5 seed, the Raptors leaned on elite defense and surprising bounce-back performances to grind out 46 wins. While the roster still feels a bit unbalanced for fantasy purposes, several key players exceeded expectations and made a real impact. So, what's next for Toronto—and what should fantasy managers watch for heading into next season?

Let's start with the cornerstone: Scottie Barnes. He's the engine behind everything the Raptors do, and he's looking like a late second-round, early third-round pick for next season. Barnes finished third in the league in stocks per game and contributes across nearly every category—except three-pointers. If you can build around his all-around production, you're in a good spot.

Brandon Ingram was one of the season's top bounce-back stories. Drafted with a 64th overall ADP, he played 77 games and finished top 50 in High Score and top 75 in 9-cat leagues—a solid return for anyone who took a chance on him. A heel injury sidelined him during the first round of the playoffs, but it doesn't appear to be a lingering issue. If Ingram falls beyond the seventh round in your draft next year, don't hesitate to grab him.

Immanuel Quickley also delivered, playing 70 games and ranking in the top 70 across most leagues. Injuries hurt fantasy managers in March, but Quickley was a reliable source of assists, threes, and steals. Meanwhile, RJ Barrett continued to be a much stronger fantasy asset in points leagues than in 9-cat formats—something to keep in mind when you're drafting.

Not everything was rosy. Jakob Poeltl was a disappointment, and Collin Murray-Boyles stole the show in the postseason. For fantasy managers, investing in CMB's upside next season looks far more intriguing than banking on Poeltl's floor. Barrett is entering the final year of his contract, which could make him a trade candidate—though he did hit the biggest shot for Toronto since Kawhi Leonard in 2019. Sandro Mamukelashvili is likely opting out of his $2 million player option, while Gradey Dick is extension-eligible. But JaKobe Walter has emerged as the more impactful player and the more compelling fantasy asset moving forward.

All in all, Toronto was a decent fantasy team this season. With a few smart moves this offseason, they could be even more intriguing next year. Keep an eye on the Raptors—they might just surprise you again.
