Adebayo isn't the flashiest player in the league but has finished as a top-30 fantasy option in eight-category leagues in five of the last six seasons. The lone time he failed to reach that plateau was in 2021-22, when he appeared in a career-low 56 games. Extending that streak last season was even more impressive given the constant changes to Miami's rotation. Adebayo started at power forward often in the second half, allowing rookie Kel'el Ware to get important developmental minutes at center after Jimmy Butler's injury and trade demand pushed Miami out of contention. The move resulted in fewer rebounds for Adebayo but more three-pointers. Despite the change in his profile, his overall fantasy value remained the same. The Heat's biggest move of the offseason was trading for Norman Powell, plus they replaced Duncan Robinson with Simone Fontecchio and drafted Kasparas Jakucionis. Miami will also return Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins, who should soak up most of the usage. None of the changes should impact Adebayo's consistency, unless Miami's offense is horrendous and his recently developed three-point shot falls off a cliff. Adebayo missed only four games last season and 22 over his past three campaigns, making him one of the safest picks in fantasy hoops.
