Haliburton drops in the rankings after Achilles injuries, shifting Dynasty value down to 13th. The piece emphasizes patience with long recovery timelines, and suggests trading if others grow uneasy, while holding firm in most rosters as a top tier asset when healthy.

Haliburton tops last year’s fantasy box for Indianapolis; his absence creates a void in usage and pace. Replacement will hinge on Nemhard's development and McConnell’s minutes; fantasy value across the Pacers will hinge on playmaking and shot creation in his stead.

Haliburton sits at 93 OVR, delivering elite playmaking and efficient scoring. His value lies in assists and under-control scoring, with strong floor and solid multi-cat upside. In Indiana, his role as a primary ball-handler keeps him a reliable 2nd-round staple in most formats.

Haliburton’s name appears in the context of a playoff feud moment involving his father, highlighting the broader competitive backdrop. Haliburton’s own fantasy profile remains that of a top facilitator with strong usage when healthy, and this off-court legacy moment doesn’t alter his on-court projections.

Haliburton’s torn Achilles sidelined him next season, creating a backcourt void for Indiana and a ripple effect on rotation and fantasy value. His absence tests Indiana’s depth while Carlisle’s system remains the anchor. Haliburton’s return timing will heavily influence the Pacers’ offense and backcourt dynamics as the season unfolds.
