VanVleet tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and a block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 102-99 loss to the Suns.
VanVleet supplied efficient perimeter scoring, recording four three-pointers for the third time in his last five outings while contributing four assists. His established role, both as a playmaker and scorer, and consistent three-point volume continue to provide fantasy utility, particularly in category formats emphasizing assists and perimeter shooting. He's also taken a step forward offensively, as he has overcame a slow start to the campaign to score at least 16 points in four of his last five outings. By all means, the veteran floor general, who missed the entire 2025-26 season while recovering from an ACL injury, is trending in the right direction.
Nov 1
VanVleet (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
VanVleet took the night off Saturday, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but will return to action Monday. The veteran has looked solid coming back from an ACL tear, averaging 13.0 points, 6.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 30.6 minutes per game across his first five appearances.
Oct 31
VanVleet (knee) won't play Saturday against the Thunder.
It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet will receive his standard maintenance day, but he should return for Monday's meeting with the Celtics. Reed Sheppard (back) is also out for Saturday's game, so Marcus Smart could draw the start at point guard, and Amen Thompson should see some increased playmaking responsibilities.
Oct 29
VanVleet notched 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 132-100 win over the Bucks.
VanVleet posted just five points on 2-of-7 shooting in Monday's win over Atlanta, though he bounced back Wednesday. The veteran floor general turned in an efficient performance, scoring a game- and season-high 24 points. He also led the Rockets in assists and has yet to dish out fewer than five dimes in a game this season.
Oct 27
VanVleet produced five points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 120-110 win over the Hawks.
VanVleet was back in the lineup after sitting out the previous game due to injury management. However, despite returning to the court, VanVleet's production left a lot to be desired. While his impact on this team is certainly obvious, it could be a situation where his real-life value outweighs his fantasy value. He will almost certainly be better than this, but he could be considered the fourth or even fifth option on offense, limiting his overall upside.
