Wemby still on top
Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss a few weeks with a left calf strain. While dropping his games played projections enough to reflect this lowered his rankings in the points leagues, it didn’t drop him out of the top spot in the category rankings. So I experimented to see just how many games I would have to project him out to get him out of the top spot. The answer was absurd: I had to project Wemby to miss a whopping 25 games — almost two full months of action — just to get him to fall to second in the category rankings.

And the reason for this is simple: Wembanyama’s dominance in the scarcest category (blocked shots) in combination with his excellent production and lack of weaknesses in the other volume and percentage categories makes him unique in this era, and perhaps unique in NBA history. The benefit he brings to a team in category leagues is so over-the-top that even projecting him to miss a quarter or more of the season wouldn’t be enough to get him out of the top spot.
Said another way: In the category leagues where I have Wemby, even with the news that he’ll be out a few weeks, there isn’t a single player I would trade him for straight up. I would think hard if someone offered Nikola Jokic or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but ultimately I would keep Wemby unless I feared a much longer injury absence. In the end, that is probably the most straightforward explanation for why he tops the rankings.
