Hartenstein played just 47 games during the 2025-26 season, mostly due to a calf injury suffered in late December. He was then in and out of the lineup for the remainder of the season, providing fantasy managers with a lot of headaches. When available to play, Hartenstein averaged 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 combined steals and blocks, good enough for borderline top 110 value in nine-category leagues. Having signed a new contract during the offseason, Hartenstein will presumably begin the 2026-27 season as the starting center, playing alongside Chet Holmgren. For those interested in acquiring Hartenstein, his value comes down to two simple factors, those being health and playing time. If he can push back to 27.0 minutes per night, chances are his overall value will fall somewhere in the range of the top 80. If he sticks at 24.0 minutes per game, we're looking at a player outside the top 100. Targeting him in the ninth or tenth rounds feels like a situation where most of the risk is being eliminated.
