2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Rankings: Round 8

To help fantasy basketball managers prepare for dynasty drafts in 2025-26, here are rankings for the eighth round.

2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Rankings: Round 8

85. Mikal Bridges

Managers know that they can always rely on the durable Mikal Bridges. The forward/guard has never played under 70 games in his seven-year career. While the 29-year-old’s numbers aren’t the most exciting, he doesn’t significantly lack in any areas. However, consistency is sometimes a problem, especially when he’s playing on star-studded teams.

86. Fred VanVleet

Fred VanVleet left a sour taste in managers’ mouths following one of his worst fantasy seasons. Yet, he remains a solid dynasty asset at 31 years old, thanks to his playmaking, three-point shooting and defensive production. Field goal percentage has consistently been an issue for VanVleet, and he’s also not typically a big scorer.

87. Zach Edey

Zach Edey finished his first year pro as the highest-ranked rookie in his class. The big man started most games for the Memphis Grizzlies and made positive contributions in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage while showing glimpses of scoring potential. Although, the 23-year-old has already had some trouble with his ankle and underwent surgery over the offseason.

88. Naz Reid

Despite being limited to a bench role over the past few seasons, Naz Reid has become one of the best sixth men in the league. He’s a 3-and-D threat who is fairly versatile, lacking only in assists, steals, and free-throw percentage. Consistency and minutes hold him back the most, but a starting job would catapult the 26-year-old’s fantasy value.

89. Malik Monk

With the Sacramento Kings trading away the star point guard last season, Malik Monk exploded onto the scene. The 27-year-old is known for being hot and cold, but when he’s having a good stretch, he’s posting big numbers. The guard can impact both ends of the court, primarily through his scoring, playmaking, rebounding, three-point scoring and free-throw efficiency.

90. Derik Queen

The New Orleans Pelicans landed 13th overall pick Derik Queen in the 2025 NBA Draft, adding an offensive center. The biggest knock on the 20-year-old’s game is his defence and rim protection, which showed promise in Summer League. Queen’s fit on the roster also raises some questions, but he should get ample development opportunities.
