Fantasy Basketball Shooting Guard Tiers 2025-26

It’s finally time to start prepping for fantasy basketball drafts as the 2025-26 NBA season approaches. To help guide managers, this five-part series sorts players into draft tiers based on their position, with this article featuring the shooting guards.

Fantasy Basketball Shooting Guard Tiers 2025-26

Tier 1

Anthony Edwards (PG, SF)

Good: PTS, 3PM, FT%, AST, STL | Average: REB, BLK | Bad: TO, FG%

Anthony Edwards posted his best fantasy ranking yet after having a career season offensively. He drastically improved his three-point shooting, averaging the second-most in the league. That was the driving force behind the three-time All-Star cracking the top 20 in category leagues for the first time. The guard/forward is also a model of versatility and availability, having never played fewer than 72 games in his five-year career. The 24-year-old’s biggest weakness is turnovers.

Devin Booker (PG)

Good: FT% PTS, AST, 3PM | Average: STL | Bad: TO, REB, BLK, FG%

The Suns made a major trade over the offseason to send Kevin Durant to the Rockets. That leaves Devin Booker as the leading star and carrying the bulk of the offensive workload. He’s expected to continue playing at his natural position of shooting guard while remaining a lead facilitator. The 28-year-old doesn’t offer as much on the other end, and he can struggle with turnovers and field goal efficiency. Still, Booker is in for a big season.

Tier 2

Donovan Mitchell (PG)

Good: PTS, 3PM, AST, STL, FT% | Average: REB | Bad: BLK, FG%, TO

Despite posting All-Star numbers, Donovan Mitchell’s fantasy ranking plummeted in 2024-25 to be one of his worst in years. Small dips in points, assists, steals and shooting splits were the culprits. The Cavaliers’ stacked starting lineup and some players improving their numbers also affected Mitchell’s production. Nevertheless, the six-time All-Star is an elite fantasy player with few flaws to his game. He doesn’t offer many blocks and can struggle with efficiency and turnovers.
