While Goodwin had his moments during the 2025-26 season, Goodwin mostly served as a second or third-string backcourt option. He played 70 games over the course of the campaign, averaging 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.6 three-pointers. He certainly has the tools to be a fantasy-relevant player, providing elite defensive production, as well as being one of the best out-of-position rebounders in the league. Despite signing a new contract during the offseason, Goodwin is going to find it hard to break through, playing behind the likes of Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Collin Gillespie and Dillon Brooks. The addition of Luke Kennard also complicates matters for Goodwin, meaning fantasy managers won't need to consider him outside of deeper formats.
