The fantasy basketball landscape is buzzing as analysts identify key forwards poised for breakout performances this season. Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder could elevate his game substantially, especially with increased playmaking responsibilities.

Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks is showing promise with career-best numbers and could break into a larger role. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner of the Orlando Magic is fresh off a strong Olympic performance and is expected to ramp up his scoring.

Lastly, Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors is ready to solidify his role and could excel after a strong showing last January. With these players on the rise, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on their progress as the season unfolds.
