Jimmy Butler

Butler hasn't played more than 65 regular-season games since 2016-17 - his final year in Chicago. Despite consistently missing time, he's still been an elite fantasy option, finishing inside the top 40 in eight-category leagues in six straight campaigns before a 62nd-place finish in 2023-24. Last season was an odd one for the veteran statistically. He averaged at least 20 points, five assists and five rebounds for a fourth straight year, plus he shot a career-high 41.4 percent from deep on 2.4 attempts per game. However, his 1.3 steals per game was his lowest mark since 2012-13, which severely impacted his value in category leagues. A healthy Terry Rozier and Tyler Herro, plus another year of development for Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez, could mean fewer offensive responsibilities for Butler in 2024-25. However, when it matters, Butler is still the leading man in Miami and should see plenty of usage. His days of being a perennial top-20 pick may be over, but Butler is still a safe selection in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.
