2024 Fantasy Outlook
Eason enjoyed a solid season as a rookie in 2023-24, appearing in all 82 games during the regular season and averaging 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 21.6 minutes per contest. He was expected to hold a steady role off the bench in 2023-24, but he struggled with injuries and didn't play a single game after Jan. 1, ultimately being ruled out for the rest of the campaign in March. The Rockets are far more talented now than in 2022-23 when Eason held an important role in the rotation, and considering he had a reserve role at that time, he's widely expected to continue playing off the bench, though perhaps seeing even fewer minutes. The fact that he's still rehabbing from a lower leg injury complicates his upside even further, and overall, there seem to be too many question marks around the third-year forward to trust him in fantasy outside of the deeper formats. Eason might have a shot at being a late-round flier in formats with 14 or 16 teams, especially as an injury policy if you selected Alperen Sengun or Jabari Smith earlier in your draft.

Signed a two-year, $6.89 million contract with the Rockets in July of 2022. Rockets exercised $3.7 million team option for 2024-25 in October of 2023. Rockets exercised $5.68 million team option for 2025-26 in October of 2024. 
Quiet postseason continues
Eason registered five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 16 minutes during Sunday's 103-89 loss to the Warriors in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Eason once again struggled to have an impact, playing fewer than 20 minutes for the fifth straight game. Despite his defensive upside, Eason was somewhat of a liability at times, with his decision-making an obvious frustration for head coach Ime Udoka. The loss brings to an end what was a positive season for the Rockets, and one that should prove vital for such a young team in the years to come.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Eason, the No. 17 pick in 2022, posted 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 assists in 21.6 minutes per game across 82 appearances as a rookie. The 6-foot-8 forward started five of those contests, averaging 13.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 30.0 minutes per game. He was clearly productive when handed an expanded role, but the Rockets were not good last year and made significant upgrades this offseason, adding Jeff Green, Jock Landale, Dillon Brooks, Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson to a frontcourt that already featured Eason, Jabari Smith, Alperen Sengun and Jae'Sean Tate. Given his potential, Eason should still be able to carve out a rotational role in 2023-24, but he may be farther away from a starting gig. Eason posted mediocre shooting splits (44.8/34.3/75.2) in 2022-23 while attempting 8.0 field goals, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.8 free throws per game, so his playing time next year likely depends on his ability to improve his offensive efficiency. Eason was impressive during limited action at Summer League, showcasing his all-around skill set, but he may have to focus on his rebounding and defensive skills to earn the trust of new head coach Ime Udoka before he starts to expand his offensive game at the top level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be attainable
Eason is a "notable trade candidate," Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Scotto reports the same about Jabari Smith, and both should have considerable markets as they are eligible for rookie-scale extensions. Unlike Smith, Eason had a lot of success in 2024-25, averaging 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 57 regular-season contests. Eason was overshadowed by Amen Thompson, however, and he could be included in a potential trade for Kevin Durant with the Rockets looking to take another leap forward as a contender.
