2025 Fantasy Outlook
After being dealt from Atlanta to Cleveland at last season's deadline, Niang was traded two more times this offseason. First, he was acquired by Boston in the Kristaps Porzingis deal, then Niang was shipped to Utah in exchange for RJ Luis and a pair of second-round picks. The Jazz have a frontcourt logjam. With Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler the presumed starters, Niang will have to compete with Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Filipowski, Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love and KJ Martin for playing time. That's simply not a recipe for fantasy success. Niang has flirted with top-200 value in category leagues recently due to his three-point shot. He's made at least 40 percent in six of his last seven seasons, while attempting at least four per game in five straight. When his shot is falling, Niang can be an option for managers in category leagues who are chasing three-pointers, but outside of that, the veteran's fantasy value is limited. Read Past Outlooks

Suffers foot injury
The Jazz announced Niang suffered a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot during offseason training and conditioning.
ANALYSIS
Niang will be re-evaluated in two weeks. He has had a busy offseason, as he was traded to the Celtics by the Hawks in the deal involving Kristaps Porzingis and then was flipped to the Jazz. The veteran forward split time with the Hawks and Cavaliers during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.9 points (career high), 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Despite being traded to Cleveland in the offseason, Niang figures to play a very similar role for his new team. Having never ranked inside the top 150 in standard leagues, Niang serves primarily as a floor-spacing depth piece. He played 78 games in the 2022-23 season, averaging 8.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes per night. Although the Cavaliers will need him on the floor, he will be competing with the recently-acquired Max Strus, as well as Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade. Now aged 30, Niang probably has the lowest ceiling of all those names, outside of possibly Wade. All things considered, Niang should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate when in need of some quick perimeter production.

ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old forward was traded twice during the offseason, from Atlanta to Boston in the Kristaps Porzingis deal and then to Utah as part of a salary-dump deal.
