2025 Fantasy Outlook
Roberts played a big role in the Championship last season, starting 40 times and producing five goal contributions (two goals, three assists.) The defender was excellent for the most part in the second division, which has kind of been the story of his career. In the Premier League, he started 19 times in 2021/22 and eight times in 2023/24. Surrounding those season were massive Championship campaigns and now with Kyle Walker in the mix, Roberts could be set for another underwhelming season, the main worry if drafting him in fantasy leagues.
Won't return soon

September 12, 2025
Roberts (strain) is back on the grass but isn't expected to return in a few weeks, manager Scott Parker told media Friday. "He's back on the grass," Parker revealed. "He's reacting in the right way from his treatment but he's still probably a few weeks away. But initially, from where we were, he's definitely heading in the right direction. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go when we pick up his work and hopefully he comes through that and keeps improving, so we'll see how that goes."
ANALYSIS
Roberts was initially expected to return to action after the September international break, but now he's not likely to see action until October -- and that's if he doesn't suffer more setbacks. Roberts isn't expected to be a regular option for minutes even when healthy, though, so he's not likely to have a lot of fantasy upside once he's back to full fitness.

Likely after international break

August 22, 2025
Roberts is expected to miss out until after the international break, according to manager Scott Parker, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express. "Con is okay. He won't be ready for this weekend. The likelihood is that Con will probably feature back after the international break. He's had an injection and things seem to be progressing in the right way, so hopefully we'll see him after the international break now."
