Fun Facts for the season

-Bradley Beal had his best fantasy season to date, building upon his second round production from 2018-19 by producing 1st/1st round per-game value for the first time in his career as the team was without John Wall for most of the last two seasons

-After signing a four year, supermax extension in 2017 that would net him $170M (which went into effect this season and keeps him under contract through 2022-23 with a player option for the last year of the deal), John Wall has been mired with injuries, having missed 111 consecutive games dating back to December of 2018 and has only played in 73 regular season games since signing the extension due to several injuries that required surgery: three knee surgeries on his left knee during the 2017-18 season; a surgery to repair his left heel in 2018-19; and lastly a surgery to repair a torn Achilles that he suffered in February of 2018-19

-Dāvis Bertāns has proven to be one of the most reliable shooters in the league as he was one of only two players (Ducan Robinson is the other) in the NBA this season to average over 3.5 3-pointers per game while maintaining a 3-point percentage above 40 percent

-While Bertāns had greatly exceeded his ADP, Thomas Bryant was the biggest disappointment on the Wizards from a fantasy perspective as he finished outside the top-100 in per-game value despite having an ADP of 66 according to Yahoo!

-The Wizards have not made the Conference Finals since 1980 and currently have the second-longest active such streak, trailing only the Clippers

-The Wizards have been heading in the wrong direction since they signed Scott Brooks as their head coach before the 2016-17 season as the team has seen their record worsen each year (.598 in first season, .524 in second season, .390 in third season and .375 so far this season)
